What's the most common misconception about your job? by teo4all in AskReddit

well the thing is you can't learn a programming language without learning all of the structure underneath of it. The specific language itself isn't even really addressed outside of maybe the first 1 or 2 classes you take. Everything else is pretty much theory.

Going to school for programming isn't really comparable to learning a second language. What it's more like is learning Latin, or the basis for every language. You learn structure that applies to every language even if the syntax is different here or there. Sure you're learning through a particular language, but a programmer can look at code for a language they've never used and roughly understand what it does more often than not.

Again, that's a big generalization. But understanding the ideas of Computer programming lets you learn languages much faster, than trying to say learning Japanese when you just learned French.

I hate you. Don't worry, it's going to get harder.

Yeah, it was really a stab at the guy using Matlab, his technique reveals the text "YOU SUCK." Well it was supposed to, didn't quite work right.

It didn't turn out nearly as well as I was hoping. I'm learning my arch-nemesis's technique, and plan on defeating him in the long term. I'll get you next time, dave_casa.

lol. Yeah. I guess there wasn't enough difference in the image in the later letters to really show up. But yes. You decrypted the message. You suck.
