IMO techniques can be taught, math can be taught, but not initiative and certainly not the "ear."  Music is not objective like writing C code.

John R.

My undergraduate degree program was performing arts education.  The ear can, in fact be trained.  That training won't automatically make the owners of those ears into great musicians but it will significantly improve the performance of the student.  We got to witness this first hand.

What can't be explicitly trained is the "gift" of music.  Some folks don't have it at all, some have it to surplus and most of us get varying degrees of it... but whatever a person has naturally can be developed.

C is so 90's  - You want to make money learn PHP


Anyway, you can teach the mechanics of writing code but like anything else there is an art to it.  Some of the best coders in the world work with me on the freepbx.org project, one of the most popular vertical open source applications on the planet and they would take great umbrage with your comment.

Embedded is real art especially if you write in native assembler.  I cut my teeth on the 8080/z80 in the early 80's.  Later some various microcontrollers that I don't recall, been a long time.  I chuckle at the amount of memory embedded guys have to work with today.  We worked with 16k of ROM.

As the years go by, I appreciate rolling units more and more. I attach wheels to everything I possibly can these days (or purchase already attached) and those items that I can't, I lay on top of pieces of equipment that do have wheels - subs make great dollies!!... so virtually everything we have at shows can be wheeled in. Of course wheels are of no help when lifting in and out of vehicles or up stairs or putting speakers up on stands etc but for the most part, I can at least carry in and out as much stuff as Chris does. Wheels baby - wheels!!!
Some years back, there used to be a lady and her hubby from down Texas way.  I recall her hosting one of the last LAB BBQ's.  A picture was posted with several attendees including a very stern looking Gene Pink.  What was the lady's name and whatever happened to her?  Around about the same era, we had another wife and husband couple from somewhere in Florida.  I seem to be recalling the Florida lady suffering a serious broken bone at some point.
Toodleoo!

Hey, no religion!  ;)

A web/app developer friend of mine would say you should learn languages such as Ruby on Rails, React Native, Objective C, or Elixir... languages currently "hot" for developing mobile apps and websites.

Are you thinking of Teri Leach Hogan? She's still around on Facebook. There are a lot of former forum users who have migrated to Facebook rather than following forums. The ones I see the most are Charlie Zureki, Andy Peters, Bink Knowles, and Triple J.
