    Programming isn't like playing an instrument. Micro skills (like typing) matter little compared to macro skills (problem-solving, adaptivity, abstraction...) That's why, by the time you're 30, it doesn't matter if you learned programming at age 5, 15, or 25.

        Wow this blew up, I should link to my SoundCloud, except I don't have one. The best I have is a YT video from my college days where I do a public performance of some tunes I wrote for the piano. I don't play very well, my main skill is writing (I started late) 🎹

        As a pianist, I disagree entirely.

        Programming is like playing an instrument. You learn the fundamentals and core techniques through practice. You navigate challenges through creativity and skill. You channel passion and emotion to create something that others will enjoy, rather than just "playing the notes."

        I would argue that macro skills are similarly more important than micro skills when playing an instrument. For example, creativity, phrasing and ability to think about chord changes on the fly >> elite technical ability to a jazz soloist. Flawed analogy IMO

        I was also going to point this out. Completely agree with you.

        Depends. You can practice other peoples music all day long and appear to be good though you lack the creativity involved in truly understand the music.

        I am a little puzzled as to why people don't understand that, programming is like composing music rather than performing it, so obviously it is an entirely intellectual, abstract, exercise. Commercial requirements aside. the time you take to perfect that artifact does not matter.
