The Programmer's Curse

When learning a new language, unless your first working sample is "Hello World" you will be cursed and will struggle to use that language for anything useful.

I was learning Ruby on Rails but because I didn't start with a "Hello World" example, I've been struggling with it from Day One.

Bob: "Hey, Jim. I can't seem to understand why my Ruby on Rails project just won't work."
Jim: "Did you start with a basic "Hello World" example to show you understand the basics?"
Bob: "Heck no! Why would I waste my time."
Jim: <smh> "Well, good luck, Jim. You've cursed yourself with The Programmer's Curse.

_King_ (programmer)

Pretty much your overall superior, this sexy Norwegian knows C# to a new level and could make pretty much any software if you asked him to. How would you know he's a C# god? he doesn't use foreach.
_King_ would be the least person you'd expect to skid code.

Hey dude, did you see _King_'s new program?
Yea, it's absolutely fire, i love Visual Source Designer!

programmers curse

the 'programmers curse' is a common issue where you learn enough of a programming language that there is no longer any major new information you can learn about it, making it boring, you know how to do most anything you need to in that language and no longer want to make anything in it. This is possibly due to a lack of creativity and or lack of a long attention span, you learn the language and have no creative ideas how to use it in a way that entertains you.

John: Hey a few months ago didn't you tell me you were learning Python? Make anything cool in it?
Kevin: Yeah I learned the language pretty well but now because of my programmers curse, I haven't made anything interesting yet.
