Oh, I know it is. But you can't deny that some people are born with affinities for certain things.Jonatan wrote:What?! It's a lot of hard work, that's what it is. Period.
Some people will simply never become programmers no matter how hard they try. And others will only become mediocre programmers. This is almost always because of their upbringing and interests as a child.
The kids that don't develop problem-solving skills in their early years will usually have a very hard time programming. The kids that enjoy solving logic problems will have a much higher affinity for programming.
The kids that analyze how a game works at an early age -- the ones that try to understand how the game was programmed in order to best it or find loopholes or unexpected solutions -- are the ones that are programmers before they become programmers.
Sure, it's hard work...anything you put your heart into is hard work whether it's second nature or not. But the hard work of a real programmer will always yield greater result than the hard work of someone that decided to learn programming late in life because he felt obligated and not because he was a programmer at heart.

Heh...I'm not asking anything.sev wrote:Look. It is over 800,000 lines of constantly evolving code. Even if it was a book, that would be 20,000 pages. Could you imagine efforts of translating this book from one language to another?rented mule wrote: Sure, it's hard work...
That is basically what you're asking.
