// CORE_PRINCIPLES

  • Precision is everything.
    Computers need exact coordinates, not "over there."
  • No intuition.
    They don't know what a sandwich is until you define it.
  • Sequence matters.
    You can't spread peanut butter before opening the jar.
Takeaway Programming is just translating your thoughts into steps small enough for a machine to follow.

If you assume the computer "knows" what a sandwich is, you will introduce 99% of your bugs.
