@mttaggart@infosec.exchange Learning to program is learning a new way of thinking. I don’t know of any other mind skill that can do it all: Detail orientation. Clarity. Problem solving. Procedures. Functions. Communication. Timing. Simplification. Experimentation. Testing. So much more …but above all, logical thinking. We should teach it in first grade. You program with your mind, not your hands. #Software #Programming #Coding #critcalThinking
