Can you explain how a computer works to a child or perhaps a rubber duck?
You place a child at the same level as a rubber duck?! A child can
understand provided any concepts used are within his/her mental age.
So can a rubber duck understand any concepts within its mental age.
But none are. That's the difference.
I am distinguishing between the two. Obviously Edwardo does not
understand English that well. Maybe I should thrown an "even" in there.
However, the rubber duck is important. It's not a term I came up with,
as I am sure many of you know. Though I would like propose a new term:
shit programming. It happens on the toilet. AKA "the aha moment".
Today I did no shit programming. It was just methodical and cyclic -
incremental if you will.
Peace,
Simon
