Repost: The Future of Programming

I consistently discard old ways of thinking that no longer serve the person I want to be.

The most recent example is switching from MATLAB, to Python. MATLAB is a numerical analysis software that I badly bent into doing presentation and scripting. Python is an object object-oriented programming language designed to be flexible and scriptable. Even though I have more than 10 years of experience and all my programs in MATLAB, I switched to Python. The process was not without frustration and confusion (and cursing).

I realized that I needed to stop throwing good time and attention after bad time and attention.
