Hear what?

Sorry. What were you saying?

I ended up only checking the 'worst case scenarios' aspect.
If you really think about it, the rest of the stuff are things one should have before one starts programming.
The worst-case scenario lesson arose early - in that endless war with the user-throngs. For surely, if I could summarize the lessons of programming: if something stupid can be done, someone will find a way to do it.

I found that I have learned over the years to think ahead by a few steps more than my friends and family do on average. I am always looking for what may lay ahead, good or bad...usually bad. I learned this in the military and have used it every day as a programmer.

Unless of course someone feels so indecisive they can't lump for one of them, but seriously.
It could possibly be rephrased as a "Rank from 1 to 10" type question, but as it stands it becomes statistically meaningless.
Remind me never to hire the compiler for any numerical analysis applications.

Muaa..hua..hahaha!
The funniest thing about this particular signature is that by the time you realise it doesn't say anything it's too late to stop reading it.

Programming is so much to logical thinking. It opens up imagination to next level.

I agree with both of your statements individually. However, I don't think there is much imagination to logic. Logic is simple and concise with little to no imagination...IMO. +5

Programming don't teach we logical thinking.
We learn logical thinking from mathematics.
Programming is just practice.

I agree,
programming needs you to think logically, so it's not programming wich teach you logical thinking.
it seems a lot of people are confused.

I disagree, I never learned the principles of logical thinking until I began programming :- proof by induction, boolean algebra and even three- or four-valued logic are all tools I came to from programming.

So you mean you were unable to think logically before programming ?
then you started to do programming
and learned to think logically while you were programming ?

See stuff by Professor Vilayanour Ramachandra. Long before you learn programming the physiology of your brain is pre-dispositioned for logical thinking.
I have friends that I love. And yet they read me poems I cannot comprehend and they tried learning programming and the simplest forms of logic evaded them.
