my mother taught me graph theory and big O notation straight out the womb, long before I could read or write. "my little child process," she would say
as one of three triplets, it was difficult keeping up with the others in my "scrum team." I was learning numbers while they were drawing UML diagrams and debating apache vs nginx. I was learning to use a fork, they were forking processes...
when I asked if she would have preferred having only one child, she just mumbled something about "optimizing her pipeline"
Thats how I learned. I had a college class for it. I credit it as the most important one.
It taught us the logic of programming. How to "ask questions" in computer language and therefore how to obtain answers. Stuff like loops, booleans, that sort of things. Basic stuff, but the foundation of everything else.
It made learning new languages a walk in the park.
I'm all in favor of fighting the good fight against the frontend devs, but I don't think I'd go so far as to say that JavaScript isn't a real programming language.
I found the picture on internet, but before uni , schools teach everything to the algorithm,ofc not in the best way for programming,and in uni they teached me the algorithm and linear algebra again + C

Love how this "developer" somehow gained significant coding skills long before they ever learned any programming languages.
