(Diary)
Made a new friend today. Spent hours talking. English. Not nerdy at all. Married to a Russian. Engineer. Gaming company. Hardware interface layer. Covered all sorts of subjects.
Minsky is right. Programming is a revolution in human thought, and teaches people how to think. In retrospect I wonder, do people who can’t program know how to think *well*. Because the evidence is accumulating that without programming or engineering or economics, people can’t really think properly.
It’s fascinating.
