It IS easier than reading the documentation, just like using a GPS is easier than reading a map.

In both cases, the harder task helps you build a mental model much better than the easier task.

For the GPS it doesn’t really matter much, since the stakes are low–it’s not important to build a mental model of a city if you can always use GPS.

With programming I’m more cautious – not knowing what you’re doing can lead to serious harms. Just look at the Therac.

I don’t get it

Monk life is hard work!

That is super cool!

Turtle, turtle, turtle…

Fun “now draw her” energy :)

EDIT: Now draw her hanging out with these two :)
