So, I thought I would throw the discussion out here,
and see what you
guys think. Assuming that there really are two types of computer users
-programmers and administrators- which side is left brain thinking, and
which is right brain thinking?
There certainly are people predisposed to programming, just as there are
people predisposed to not wanting to program. I've noticed that either
you have a passion for it, or at least a compelling interest in it, or you
don't. I've known people to discover their passion for programming at a
very young age (<10) and a not so young age (>20).
As far as which is more left/right brain, programming is both, obviously,
because it requires not only logical thinking but creativity. You can
have left brain only programmers, but their code is medicore. You can
have right brain only programmers, but their code is mediocre. It is
those programmers that can employ their entire brain that produce truly
inspiring code.
