Hmm, the intended connection is that they are three distinct reasons why learning programming is a great idea. Does that help? Is the sense of disconnect due to abruptness of transition (i.e. form), or does the content strike you as not belonging there?
The biggest value I see in your post is the emphasis on the intellectual, rationalist nature of programming. The fact that programming has history has nothing to do with that.
Got it. Would it devalue the post for you if I made it clearer that I claim programming has aesthetic and philosphical value on top of its intellectual, rationalist appeal?
That’s correct—there’s an aesthetic value to writing posts to establish single coherent points. An essay beats a bullet list.
What I think would improve this post is using an example to illustrate how programming teaches understanding of the question. It would have to be something relatively simple, but where the error was conceptual.
