      That’s actually really accurate when first learning to program. Eventually you figure out how to think like a toddler.

        But then you gotta deal with the teenagers.

        You tell them exactly what to do, and they do most of the time, but they can twist words and meanings to come up and do something entirely different when it suits their needs.
