I think we can all agree that programming is easy. Thinking like a computer scientist on the other hand is extremely difficult.
How long would you say it takes someone to get up to a proficient level? Should they keep challenging themselves to write small scripts to learn something new every time?
I find it quite difficult to come up with things to program, and when I do they're too ambitious and I find I don't have the skill to do it, mostly because I wouldn't know how to break it up into smaller, feasible chunks.
Do you ever have this problem? If yes, then how did you overcome it?
