> Yes, this is taking the way learning is done in almost every case and field and applying it to programming. No, it still hasn't really caught on universally in computer science.
Man, it's almost like a field accidentally discovered a better way of working and other people are slowly trying to make them more normal. Learning by fast feedback on individual action is better than learning by reading and not acting.
It's not like that. "Learning by doing" predates language much less writing. Apes do it. Many animals do I'm sure. That has never gone away even from the most stuffy old elitist realms of academia, has it?
