↳ In-reply-to » Got a friend asking me for help with their final C programming exams which they failed 8 times (yes, 8 🤷).

@eaplmx@twtxt.net When I started learning to play the guitar at school I got so hooked I ended up being able to play flamenco songs in around a month since starting, meanwhile all my classmates couldn’t do even the basics chords, I guess my best ability is to learn and experiment in a obsessive matter by myself until I get it right.

But I need to avoid at all cost to push this approach onto others as often they can’t keep up with my pacing.

As a solution I found that drawing is the best way to explain things to me, since i get slowed down by my hands focusing on the current sketches and it also help them understand what’s happening in code or other structures visually.
