Discussion on: How coding is like crocheting

I like this analogy. I hadn't thought before how similar they are in finding bugs.

Crochet could be said to be more complicated than programming, because of the differences between US and UK terminology. At least if you're following a coding tutorial, what they show is exactly what you type. But with a crochet pattern, the first thing you have to establish is which terminology they're using.

Great point on the difference in terminology! I've only worked in US terminology, and I wonder if there's a good coding analogy for learning how to switch/transfer terms to UK lingo. Something to think about as I expand my knowledge in both...
