codegladiatoron How do I know if I'm good at programming?

> "Programming" is easy. You pick a language, learn a set of rules, and over time learn how to tell the machine what you want it to do in that language fairly well.

Being good at chess/programming would be totally different from knowing "whats happening programming/chess".
