  • There are now two main cultures in computing: Most computer users treat software as a tool for getting tasks done, while programmers hold conversations with their software. One big challenge when teaching programming, no matter in what language, is getting students used to a conversation-oriented programmer culture, which is very different than a tool-oriented user culture.

I understand that there are differences, but other than 'big data', Philip does not really provide detailed reasoning to support the argument.
