I started to teach my partner some programming basics (web, just html and some css for starters), since they asked me to. So far we haven’t killed each others, so it’s going much better than expected.

Also, it seems to be a very common misconception that one needs to be a special breed of person to be able to understand and write some code.

    @iiii doesn’t hurt them to know a bit, now does it?

    @iiii true that. Does everyone need to know how to code? Probably not. Still a better misconception imo than any of the gendered ones still lingering around (every man should know how to this and that, and every woman should whatever)

    @JustThat you missed the point here. There is a misconception that you need to be a special kind of breed to write any code at all, which is obviously not true. You may need to be a special breed to make it your career, that may be, but there are many people around who’re afraid to even try it since they have this thing in their mind that coding is so alien you’ve got to have your brain wired differently to even understand the basics.
