I've always believed that one should not use labels. They are self imposed limits.

Writing computer programs is not something out of the ordinary. Sure, it is applied math, but it is not quantum physics.

I want people to learn. The more people know to code, the more innovation we will all enjoy.

There is a generation that is growing up with the power of computing. This is a first in history. We (as a race) will be able to do so many things thanks to it.

But we need people to learn. Good/bad code, its all the same. All it matters is that the ideas are implemented.

Great post Mr. Shaw. I've always looked up tp you, as a person and coder. Thank you.

Quantum physics, and all other forms of physics are applied math.

What we call physics is not math. Math is how we interpret them. Just like code is how we interpret ideas in a manner that a computer can process.

Quantum physics is not even aptly defined because no one understands them. Sure, we may have some insight into how some things work at the quantum level but we have not a clue.

My point, which I reason you missed, is that people find math hard yet they manage to learn how to program. These days, one can make a reasonable living as a coder without knowing much math.

I'm not even going to pretend to be a genius, not even smart. But I can sure understand that programming is not what fellow engineers make it out to be.

It is neither Quantum physics nor hard. It is, in my opinion, simple (and beautiful).

Discouraging people from learning how to code is akin to discouraging people from learning how to speak.

In a world where the Internet is the only mass medium of communication, knowing how to code enables freedom of thought, and speech.

A freedom we cannot let die.
