Ian K Tindale<p><span>There’s too much programming<br><br>One of the mistakes of the late 20th century is the connection of two ideas: one is that of programming a computer with instructions to make a programme; and the other is that of being smart, intelligent, clever. <br><br>Ever since I was young in the 60s, the idea of a person who is ‘a computer programmer’ implied that they were some kind of boffin – very clever, very intelligent, very brainy, very superior in intellect and knowing lots of things. <br><br>The push was to educate children into directions which would allow them to be slotted into the available career receptacles in a few years, and any child who showed indications of being a bit cerebral by demonstrating thinking about abstract stuff a bit deeply was pushed into the ‘science’ direction, which was fair enough, most children who thought deeply about stuff would also know enough about the science world to think that this was natural.<br><br>On the other hand, thinking deeply about abstract stuff in this way hardly applies to for example, sports, or cooking, or geography, or make-up and fashion, or working in a factory or delivering freight. Or does it. Should those children who think deeply about abstract stuff have been deflected toward poetry first, or advertising, or scriptwriting, or storyboarding, or fine art, or architecture? Why is science the only consumer of boffins?<br><br>This equating of computer programming with being brainy is responsible for the arrogant ego of a lot of young people who learn about computers and focus on programming concepts as if that’s all that life is about, because if they weren’t spending all their time climbing up the ladder of programming comprehension it would threaten their ego built around the fragile housing that indicates to themselves and others that they are clever and superior and valuable because they’re a computer programmer.<br><br>As a result, we have too many computer programmes, and too many revisions and changes to said already too many computer programmes. It can’t be the situation that there’s an amount of computer programmes out there in existence which is sufficient and required to propel life in the 21st century, instead what we get is such an unbelievable glut of computer programmes everywhere that we’re floating in a sea of computer programme pollution, and to add to that noise level, a never ending rainfall of updates and changes and alterations to said computer programmes. It’s as if those that are computer programmers just have to keep going, keep emitting more, keep tinkering and changing, keep not quite getting it correct so that they continue to be allowed to do this.<br> </span><a href="https://toot.pikopublish.ing/tags/ComputerProgramming" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ComputerProgramming</a><span> </span><a href="https://toot.pikopublish.ing/tags/career" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#career</a><span> </span><a href="https://toot.pikopublish.ing/tags/science" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#science</a><span> </span><a href="https://toot.pikopublish.ing/tags/pollution" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#pollution</a></p>
Serge from Babka<p>Unpopular opinion: Classic Lisp/Scheme isn't a great first programming language.[1]</p><p>When I learned Lisp in school I was incredibly confused by the difference between functional programming in the sense of passing functions and creating macros.</p><p>That key distinction and difference is important, and the homoiconicity[3] of Lisp made that distinction less clear than it needed to be.</p><p>Teach Scheme second or third if you like, not first.</p><p><a href="https://babka.social/tags/Lisp" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Lisp</span></a> <a href="https://babka.social/tags/Scheme" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Scheme</span></a> <a href="https://babka.social/tags/CompterScience" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>CompterScience</span></a> <a href="https://babka.social/tags/ComputerProgramming" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ComputerProgramming</span></a> <br> <br>[1] No I'm not talking about LOGO.[2]</p><p>[2] If LOGO was your first programming language (it was mine) then you're old.</p><p>[3] This is the Fediverse and now I'm sure someone is going to change their username to"Homoiconicity"</p>
