However, I wouldn't blame it only on the fact whether a programmer is "experienced" or not. There is a certain amount of cognitive/reflective capability required for understanding the nature of bugs or code in general. Not everyone has it to the same extent, and it cannot really be trained. Having this capability, of course, will lead then to faster acquisition of experience.Lukas Ederhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02028559621679932902noreply@blogger.com
