What Dave Just Said

In the answer video for the previous quiz, Dave said

"The programs you'll write in this class will be Python code. Those will be input to another program which is a Python interpreter that follows the instructions in your code and it does that by following the instruction in its code… and you'll be able to run all that using your web browser."

Hidden in these two sentences are examples of 3 of the 5 ways you can think like a programmer:

The line "…follows the instructions in your code…" references the procedural thinking required of programmers.
The entire quote demonstrates a deep technological empathy (which you don't need to have at this point) for how computers and programs work.
When Dave thinks of a Python program, a Python interpreter, and a web browser as different versions of the same thing (a computer program) he's showing abstract thinking.

Now you're about to write your very first computer program. Get excited!
