Steve and Fred about wired brains:
Back in 50 and 60's, in the days before equal
opportunity laws in the US, IBM would test all employees
with aptitude tests (DPATs). On interview trips to
colleges we administered the tests en masse to all students
who met the interview screening, and unless
you scored in the top quintile you weren't invited for further
interview
visits. We found some music majors scoring
extremely high and after being hired also did extremely well
in programming. In fact we had a keyboard
musician who's programming skills were matched by his
ability to key in code on a CRT console. It was
visually impressive since the code just seemed to stream
across
the screen.
Bottom line - this ramble probably supports
Fred's theses about programming being an art;
and if you want a good
typist find a pianist or keyboard musician who
wants a day job.
Best regards
JOE

lol..true Fred...but I still think your brain has to be
"wired" in a certain
way to excel at programming

Programming, as opposed to "coding", is an art ...
