As far as I am concerned, this is what programmers need because I found that the programming languages out there are incoherent and chaotic, no matter which ones they are. Underlying all computer machinery is a hodgepodge of accretion. Concepts lodged inside concepts for expediency. This is something I think Alan understands quite well, far more than me.
But more importantly, I found out that they stir up irritability; when you can't get something to work right, it creates a hum of irritability around you that has to dissipate over the rest of the day because programming provides such instantaneous feedback to your every move; nowadays you can see if what you are doing works in just seconds, whereas you had to wait much longer; so consequently, people who program computers are often known for being irritable and impatient. If you are one of those people, investigate this practice. On Dec 23, 2012, at 4:53 PM, John Carlson wrote: > There's something in your early/mid 20s.
