Programming

"The concept that programming is something 
 that you need special education to do is not right. 
 It is something that is promoted by the priesthood."

Unpopular opinion: the best part of beginning to write software is making the ASCII art logo at the top of the main file.

2021-03-04: "In today's episode of "DetonDev Tries To Make Their First Roguelike": I try to create a new enemy type that stays still and breeds, spreading itself across the dungeon. This goes crazy wrong because I cobble it together in a REALLY hacky way that keeps me from having control of the speed and now the dungeon is a horror movie where terrifying nightmare plants consume all living beings in the game in a matter of seconds :D" (Source)

"Programming is an art and a craft. 

 It's honestly a lot like sewing. 
 Yes, it's often cheaper in the modern world to buy pre-made things,
 but it's a valuable skill for everyone to have at some level, 
 even if that level is "I can replace a button". 

 People learn to sew because they want to repair something they love, 
 or made modifications (bam now my skirt has pockets!), 
 or because they find joy in making things, 
 or because they want to make things that don't exist "off the shelf".

 Like sewing, the basics of programming really aren't that hard, 
 though it's easy to feel out of your depth when you're first starting. 
 And the advanced capabilities can seem like straight up magic, 
 even to otherwise accomplished craftspeople.

 But there's no requirement that everyone be a professional tailor! 
 Any sewing you know is valuable. It's the same with programming: 
 there's no requirement you be an expert, 
 any amount of programming you know is valuable. 

 Even if it's just the "sewing on buttons" of writing a simple script."
