Reply To: How do I practice to think more like a programmer?

First, begin to lose all social queues… humans are very buggy.

Second, become angry when someone asks you why something takes so long.

Third, make simple syntax errors that make you track them down for half the day.

That should just about do it…

Most people that are drawn to coding, and stick around, already do “think like a programmer” – maybe a bit more logic oriented than others (maybe?). You probably do too, you just haven’t turned that light on yet. As they have said, just keep cracking away at it. Build something that solves a problem… build it in many different languages… that will always help.
