Guess what? He wasn’t talking only about learning to write code but also about the structured, logic-based way programmers approach and solve problems. For programmers, problem-solving is the essence of their work. But they just don’t jump on the solution right away. They first build a method to approach the problem.
Let’s explore what it means to “think like a programmer” and how that mindset can make us better problem-solvers, in real life.

In any field, the ability to solve problems sets you apart. It is less about finding answers and more about building a method to systematically approach problems. That’s what makes programmers different! For them, it involves- critical thinking, creativity and tenacity. Here’s why adopting their mindset can help-
- Structured Thinking: Programmers break down complex problems into smaller, manageable parts.
