    It’s not comparable to sewing. That would be learning C++ and Qt.

    It’s comparable to making a sandwich.

        Golly.

        C++ and QT is programming comparable to hard things in life.

        Shell scripting is programming comparable to usual things in life.

        Capisce?

      No, making a sandwich is more effort equivalent to sending an email, or maybe adding items to a shopping site cart and buying them. Both are fairly intuitive and don’t involve memorizing weird commands like “ls” and “cd” (“cd? But my computer doesn’t even have a CD drive!”).

        OK, making borsch is a more fitting analogy. With it being edible and not yielding muffled “heresy” cries from people from Eastern Europe.

        Also you should be more creative with your sandwiches probably.
