        Seriously half of the difficulty of Lambda School is overcoming bad habits learned in the traditional education system. Maybe 3/4, actually.

        This is the power of local cultural norms. Drastically shapes and reshapes people's behavior, for better and worse. Hugely powerful

        "When in Rome, you do as the Romans do" can be seen as a prescriptive statement, and it is that, but it is equally a descriptive statement, and playing with the implications of that is more important

        When some folk say that others are incapable of learning programming, one of the variables never discussed is how flexible the mind is in learning how to deal with complexity, when someone is sufficiently motivated.

        I personally think that software development is an ideal platform for training someone to deal with lots and lots of detail, increase their attention span, practice planning, reading technical material, etc, etc, etc.

        One useful experiment would be to take one of those folk above who were "math-phobic" or "not a maths person" or "don't get math" and ask them to have another look at their highschool books. It is a much more practical solution than just telling folk "they can do math".

        With an improved ability to process symbols, abstractions, attention to detail, improved working memory, ability to read and apply technical documentation, and having intensively practiced techinical problem solving, they should feel like they have been given new superpowers.

        Now my thoughts on this topic are not like anything currently publicly available but the following articles by @_ericelliott give a few hints of where this topic is heading vis-a-vis programming as a mind exercise: [1] https://medium.com/javascript-scene/are-programmer-brains-different-2068a52648a7 … [2]https://medium.com/javascript-scene/programming-literacy-7bc4ae154b91 …
