I would agree with the general statement just from the "logic" side of things. Some people never really "get it".

>In some ways, learning to program a computer is similar to learning a new language. It requires learning new symbols and terms, which must be organized correctly to instruct the computer what to do. The computer code must also be clear enough that other programmers can read and understand it.

That is a good way to put it. Some of the best programmers I have ever worked with didn't do well in social situation but they wrote damn good code. On the other side, some of those that were good socially wrote code so bad I had to tell them what they did wrong and I am not technically a programmer... You know its bad when someone that is not a programmer can tell that you did a shit job. This is all also before the days of "ask the AI how to do it".
