Solving FizzBuzz. This is what programmers do. They are not syntax-translators, they are problem-solvers.

Given a few hours & Google access, some people who've never written a line of code in their lives will be able to figure out how to solve FizzBuzz, and some will not. If you just *tell* them how to do it & they write the code, they've become a syntax-translator, not a programmer.

Desire/curiosity & competence form an incredible feedback loop, but I don't think it's fair to ascertain from that that anyone can learn to code. For one thing, it makes it very easy to say to yourself that anyone you failed to teach effectively simply didn't care enough.

Yes, but one of the most important things a teacher than do is to MAKE you care. If they make the subject boring, that's their failure.

It's silly to default to blaming the student. It's silly to default to blaming the teacher. If you're making the claim that everyone can learn to do x, but you look around & see a bunch of people trying + failing to learn x, you sorta have to do one of those. But it's still silly
