Comment on: Forcing women into programming is a fucking mistake

Why the fuck does the Guy class have a girl attribute that is set to an instance of the Girl clause form the start? Does that mean that men have a girl assigned to them from birth? I've never heard of this.

Comment on: Report: 80's kids started programming at an earlier age than today's millennials

The difference between real interest and bullshit

You hit the nail on the head. How early ones starts has little bearing on who successfull one can will be. What really makes a difference is if you acutally enjoy what your do and you spend additional time mastering it, instead ot treating it like just a chore.

I usually summarize this through as such: One cannot excell in a field which they don't enjoy.

Comment on: Learn to code with interactive challenges (little project I've been working on for the past six months)

Actually, I can give you a tiny piece of feedback right away.

Could you possibly add a keyboard shortcut for running the code when the code editing element is in focus? Platforms like JsFiddle usually use Ctrl+Enter for that.

Or maybe there already is one I just didn't find it?

I'm going to be actually doing an introductory course for JavaScript next week for my coworkers/juniors. After playing with this a bit I will definitely use this with a collection of tasks to give people some exercises till the next lesson.

I'll remember to write you some feedback once that's done. Where do you prefer, here or through https://edabit.com/contact ?

I like that term, foggy bridge, I'm going to steal it.

I think you are right on the money. Most people who are just starting with a new programming language suffer from inability to find intermediate tasks and sources of knowledge to bridge that gap between a beginner and a proficient user.

Most do that by just grinding simple tasks or hitting their head against the wall of a too hard one until you find an unsatisfactory solution. But there are better ways.

I'll check out your platform, maybe I can use it in some of the trainings I run. Thanks!
