- Similar to many hobbies and occupations alike, programming requires a niche subset of skills and abilities not normally obtained via means such as schooling and formal education, thus one must teach and tutor themselves the art of computer programming (Donald E. Knuth, 2011). Teaching oneself a skill however does come with a number of inevitable pitfalls, with the case of computer programming, the most obvious of which is the lack of discipline when it comes to organising and documenting ones source code (source code: the code of which makes up a computer program written in a programming language). Similar as to how a novelist plans and documents upcoming stories they wish to write, a programmer must have detailed plans as to what their final program will accomplish and the steps taken throughout the process of creating the source files.
