"Non programmers won't get it"

Complete ignorance for what other jobs do.

Writing code is not so different from writing long reports. When I am writing a long report, I need to focus as well and do not want to be interrupted.

Programming is not the only job that requires deep thought and concentration.



You’re right, but… do you write long reports, all day, every day?


I write long reports for engagements following a significant amount of document review and research.

Again, it is silly to think that programming is the only profession that requires concentrated thought.


Of course that would be silly. Who is claiming that?
