Programming is a rigorous discipline. Learning to do things right the
first time around achieves two things:
1. You don't have to unlearn bad habits before you learn the good ones.
2. Understanding the concepts behind the practice is easier.
I disagree, but I can see I'm not going to change your mind.
I'm just glad you didn't teach me to program.
