Comment on How to teach your girlfriend programming

Comments

Don't even try to teach anybody anything unless he/she actually wants you to do that. Teaching is completely different from giving somebody idea what you're doing.

Especially try to be aware how many things you "know" as a "professional" are fully irrelevant details about the technologies or methods that are going to be obsolete in very, very short time. Most of the "knowledge" that make you money today is irrelevant even in just a few years. Or I have a lot of lectures about Clipper 5 and CP/M to teach you.
