C++, OOP, and whatever crazy async shit is going on in JS ruined the conceptual model of “code” for going on 2 generations of programmers.

We do students a disservice teaching them how to “code” first. And not instead how to solve problems with code

Yeah, that async stuff is brutal.

Great for solving the typical problems encountered in a web browser.

But a real fucked up mental model to bake into an entire industry’s worth of developers

I would go a step further and teach them how to read code before teaching them how to write it
