PROGRAMMING IS AS IMPORTANT AS MATHEMATICS

—“Programming should be part of basic education if for no other reason than to promote humility. Trying to write a program is like being Phil Connors in Groundhog Day – you fail at life, again and again and again… until you realize and accept responsibility for ALL the errors of your ways. In that way, being a good programmer is more about emotional resiliency than brilliant problem solving.”—Siraaj Khandkar

Programming teaches you how little you know, and how precise you have to be. It teaches you just how often you don’t knw what you’re talking about, and neither do the other people you’re talking to, but because you’re all using words and ideas you don’t understand, but are using words and ideas that others do understand, you’re able to use conceptual tools like any other complex tool you don’t understand, but can still use for the purpose at hand.
