Just finished reading the article. I find it to be rather interesting but also true. I remember the first time I looked at code in my teens, I assumed it would be like writing and that once I knew what each of the symbols meant, I would be able to 'write' programs as I 'write my stories'. Fast forward to getting into college and majoring in Computer Science for nearly three years now and I tend to think of it less like writing a story and more like having these building blocks and functionalities I can use to hack together solutions to problems I want to solve. Yet even then, it still doesn't feel as rigorous as learning and problem solving in math feels like.
