Back in the day:
- Me: "Programming is fun, but interfaces are a PITA"
- CS student: "What!? The algorithms I’m given to solve are really complicated!"
- After a year on a job: “I hate testing user interfaces…”
Some other day:
- Me: "Programming is mostly copy&paste"
- Engineering student: "What!? We have to come up with a new solution for every problem!"
- After a year on a job: “I don’t program anymore, just copy&paste…”
Told ya.

It’s kinda fun to think of programming as magic.
And “libraries” as grimoires/tomes .
It’s surprising how far you can go with the analogy.

My best comment ever in Reddit was describing Lord of the Rings to programming.
