re: mini software dev rant
@dysfun@treehouse.systems Right. It's not impossible to teach - I've tutored quite a few people 1:1 in the past, and I've found that focusing on decomposing problems before writing code *really* helps with that.
The question is how to scale that into a cultural change, and address the trickier emotional bits like ingrained and widely loudly repeated beliefs about what 'libraries' look like - because this is fairly easy to override in a 1:1 conversation, but a community-wide culture change is different.

@dysfun@treehouse.systems (I'd say it typically took only about 5-10 hours of tutoring to really teach someone the process of problem decomposition, to the point that they could do it independently with a high success rate)
