Re^2: Programming is combat

[brian_d_foy]

It's not so much that there is an enemy, but that we can deal with life in the same way in different situations. Different environments emphasize different facets of a solution and add perspective.

I can't carry any metaphor too far because ultimately one thing is not the other, so they are different. The trick is to find the areas where one can beneffit from knowledge of the other without experiencing it.
