Hey software developers, you're approaching machine learning the wrong way

I remember the first time I ever tried to learn to code. "It prints'Hello World'," he replied. But I was pretty freaked out by all that so-called boilerplate I didn't understand, and so I set out to learn what each one of those keywords meant. That turned out to be complicated and boring, and pretty much put the kibosh on my young coder aspirations. It's immensely easier to learn software development today than it was when I was in high school, thanks to sites like codecademy.com, the ease of setting up basic development environments, and a general sway towards teaching high-level, interpreted languages like Python and Javascript.
