Never understood how some people boil down everything to raw talent that you're born with...

I mean, sure, people have different cognitive abilities, different strengths and weaknesses, etc (like a DnD Campaign, lol)

and I can understand how people can conclude that someone is a very "talented" musician or artist because humans have been around for a long time and us humans have been into music and art for a long time...

but here's the kicker, computers have been around for less than a 100 years or so,
so how the heck can someone be a "talented" computer programmer?

no, they are SKILLED because they worked their @ss off to get good.

No one fell out of their mum being able to do that.

sure, there might be some young kids who seem to have talent for music or art, but you look at their environment, they are usually surrounded by people with the same set of skills, so they're just learning from their surrounding environment, lol

sorry for the rant, I'm kinda passionate about this topic because it's kinda sad to see people give up or not even try because they think they don't have "talent"

Nothing new under the sun, the tasks computers perform have always existed but were performed manually. It wouldn't be possible to create a computer if that wasn't the case. Anyone can improve at something but some have more potential than others.
