Programming Vs Human Languages | Are They Comparable?

Is learning coding the same thing as learning Spanish or German?In Episode #386 of 'Musings', I discuss: my recent chat with Dave Jones, how I learnt Spanish/German but failed with Python, why I believe that the differences between the languages are greater than the similarities, human-human communication vs human-computer, some helpful tips to think about whilst learning them and why Chat GPT is diminishing the need to learn a programming language.Huge support from McIntosh, Cole McCormick, Adam Curry, Petar & some anonymous boosters. Also a make good is needed as I missed Dave Jones & Chad F's boostagrams. Might be our most varied list ever, amazing!Timeline:(0:00) - No Juan again :'((0:44) - Why this topic?(2:56) - Definition & my experiences(7:02) - Similarities(13:23) - Differences(23:38) - Boostagram Lounge(37:21) - Chat Comments(38:56) - Learning methods(48:22) - Summary(54:32) - Housekeeping(1:03:11) - V4V: So much you can doIntro Music by 'Signs Of New Growth':https://podcastindex.social/@SignsOfNewGrowthConnect with Mere Mortals:Website: https://www.meremortalspodcast.com/Discord: https://discord.gg/jjfq9eGReUInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/meremortalspodcast/TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@meremortalspodcastSupport the show
