The Developer’s Code What Real Programmers Do
- Share to:
The very first time was when I took a programming class during my freshman year of college. It was a mandatory course for the curriculum Ihad decided to enroll in. It wasn’t like what I had seen in so many movies during my child- hood. I didn’t type in a few simple commands, press ENTER, and watch a trash-can robot say “hello.”
There wasn’t even a trash-can robot in this class. Instead, it was about pointers, memory allocation, and object instanti- ation. I was too in the weeds to see what all of it meant. However, the evidence was overwhelmingly clear: program- ming was not for me.
I wanted to be an artist or perhaps a mathematician. I wanted to be both creative and exact—both right- and left- brained, as they say. Programming seemed to lean too far to the left, and no other career options I could think of let me play in both worlds simultaneously. I was lost.
