Is it possible to be too stupid for programming?
>>51864172
No, just too stupid in general because programming is about instructions and orders
>>51864172
Assuming you have average intelligence, no. A lot of people have trouble with it because they're weak in aspects such as math.
>>51864204
What in particular can pose difficulties for people weak in maths?
>>51864172
>Is it possible to be too stupid for programming?
No, but stupidity might make learning slower to the point your life will be over before you get good at it.
>>51864172
yes
>>51864172
There are millions of Indians who can shit on the street, drink cow urine and program simultaneously. If after some minimal effort you find yourself to be too stupid for programming you are literally below nigger tier.
>>51864172
Yes.
>>51864172
Define programming.
>>51864322
>millions of Indians who can shit on the street, drink cow urine
That's a minor cultural difference, not a sign of intellectual inferiority.

Feynman has some great thoughts on that
It's from Fun to Imagine, but I couldn't find another single clip besides this thing. watch the thing if you liked it
>>51864378
Well, maybe they didn't need toilets in the first place? It's a cultural difference, I can't expect (probably) an Amerifat to understand. Different =/= inferior.

It's called logic

It's not just some random street though, it's a designated shitting street.

Typical anime fag, get off our board

Only if you aspire to become a GOOD programmer.

Yeah there's just no way you're being stupid, we're all butthurt Indians.

Yes, you are an example

DESIGNATED
Hypotheticailly, sure. There are people too stupid to speak or use the toilet, I'm sure there are people too stupid to program as well.
Assuming you are a person of normal intellect I think you should be able to learn it though. Most of the difficulty is in the beginning when you're intimidated by all these foreign seeming concepts and code that seems way more complex than it really is. Once you get over that hump it gets a lot easier.
Yeah

SHITTING
>>51864172
I used to think no, its just simple instructions after all, if you can read and follow a logical order, you cap program.
However... After trying to help some people with my uni's 101 CS class, I am now of a different opinion.
Some people can be great at math, and stats, and all kinds of things, but cannot work with programming. Its crazy, but its true.

Tell me you photoshopped this anon. I'm ringing so hard right now, it's not funny.
>>51868671
Yeah, it really has very little to do with math skill-wise. That may change in the future though.
>>51868693
POO
>>51864172
every person have different talents, it's not about "being stupid" it's about if programming is your thing or not.
Your question is similar to :
>is it possible to be too dumb to build a house
>is it possible to be too stupid to paint a picture
>is it possible to have a retardation that makes you unable to do basic maths
>>51864172
Not too "stupid", but simply incapable. In the same way that some people can never play the violin.
>>51868847
its more like solving a puzzle, crossword, sudoku, or whatever. Once you've got a decent handle on highschool maths (or just the first few years of HS really) then you're golden.
>>51868671
Their focus is fucked up, they need to see it from another angle. It happened to me, I didn't understand shit what the teacher was talking about but then with the help of friends and books and internet you see it differently.
>>51869023
Maybe if you're a code-monkey then that's true.
>>51868979
>is it possible to have a retardation that makes you unable to do basic maths
Isn't that called dyscalculia? I mean you're not technically unable, but you need a very different approach.
>>51864172
No, but programming in itself is also pretty useless, virtually any non-trivial problem quickly reduces itself to math. Programming is then just the tool to implement the idea and amounts to nothing more than basic literacy. Anyone can learn to write, but few people have what it takes to become a bestselling author.
>>51869054
my point is, that you don't need 240 IQ to do programming if you are really into it, and study hard you will make it
>>51868844

Srs reply here.
Yes. I'm amazed how you can show these people how it's done and still fail to grasp simple concepts.
>>51864172
No, if the person willing to try and understand the concepts and they aren't mentally impaired. Even if they are slightly mentally impaired, I'm pretty sure they can do some programming, maybe not complex shit but maybe basic GUI programs and web development (I'm not trying to insult anyone with those two previous statements). If a person don't want to bother with it, then yeah they are to stupid to program.
Basically, stupidity is a function of both capability and willingness. If you're willing and not that capable, you're not stupid. If you're capable but not willing, you're stupid. If you have both, good for you. This applies to basically every aspect of life.
>>51864523
No, it isn't. The flow of logic is dictated by reason. It's the analysis of directions and instructions. Very fickle distinction but a true one nonetheless.
>>51864258
Few programs. Slow programs.
Math has the shortcuts, and has an easy off hand style, so to speak. Optimization at compile time maybe levy this difference but ultimately it can only make up for only so many bad design choices.
>>51864172
Yes, 50% of the world is. Google it.
>>51869938
Mathematicians are incapable of writing non-NP solutions to problems where the obvious solutions are usually linear or sub-linear.
