@dibblego @rioter @puffnfresh From my experience as a lecturer, I also don't think it is dying. It's always been fairly rare.

@TacticalGrace @dibblego @puffnfresh So the concept of fire up a debugger. Change a value. Yay it works. Bred from education?

@rioter @dibblego @puffnfresh No, it's not bred from education. We try to teach students to think and understand, but it is very hard.

@TacticalGrace @rioter @puffnfresh Why is it hard?

@dibblego @rioter @puffnfresh Hard b/c some don't even try (they want the "easy" way out) and many don't get it even with plenty of help.

@TacticalGrace @dibblego @rioter @puffnfresh and yet most pass a degree. the problem is that the education system allows it.
