| Mar 4, 2011 at 5:18 | comment | added | Kirk Broadhurst | Why not just explain what a programmer does? All this talk of roads and robots and building blocks is plain silly. If I ask a a stockbroker what they do I don't want to hear gambling anecdotes; if I ask a plastic surgeon what they do I don't want to hear about artistic flair (or whatever) - just state the facts! | |

| Oct 11, 2010 at 12:03 | comment | added | deltreme | I'd think to counter the well-known "but i thought you were good with computers" you'd have to incorporate such a misunderstanding into the metaphor, for instance someone could think cops are great at committing crimes because they "are good with crime scenes" or something. | |

| Sep 14, 2010 at 4:03 | comment | added | Ami | I guess learning a programming language is somewhat analogous to learning a foreign language. However, the act of computer programming is very different from the common act of talking/writing. Computer programming requires at least: precision, innovation, concentration, creativity, organization, persistence, and rigorous logic. | |
