deiner24320dI'm surprised no one actually mentioned the learning to type. I actually taught a group of neighbor kids (elementary school kids) how to code for nearly a year in the past. What I realized at the very beginning was that none of them knew how to touch type, so making any progress was painfully slow. I ended up spending first 4 months (meeting twice a week) on that drudgery. After that, they can really fly if the motivation hasn't sapped. I had them using MIT's Scratch first. Whether or not they'll continue is really up to giving them a steady stream of progressively challenging goals.

eeee3318315dI'd teach to be lazy in a smart way: you need a lot of experience to recognise when to be lazy and just use a certain trick or pattern to solve a complex problem with the least amount of effort.
So yes, be lazy about programming, but no, don't be lazy about learning how. -
confusionsays366301d"Don't be lazy"?
Some of the best work, in my experience, comes from developers too lazy to do things over and over the same old way. -
frogstair13986301d@confusionsays me being lazy just keeps me from being a good developer. I can't focus on work, feel too intimidated by a hard project/block of code, and abandon projects easily. That's my definition of lazy
