Comment on Modern computing: A short history and a shorter rantparent

Comments

Should have explained. Some people find some tasks come natural to them so they think they are inherently easy for everyone. while others find other tasks come naturally to them. Humans are different. Music is more or less impossible for me. I am sure programming is impossible for someone else. Math is logical and easy to me. I used to tutor my friends after school on the homework that was assigned thinking "how us this not not completely straightforward to you, this is simple." yet they thought things I couldn't grasp were simple.

Lets not ignore differences in humans and say programming is easy because it isn't to a large number of people.
