The ability to analyze a situation with no (or limited) prior knowledge is what I'm calling the natural talent.Originally Posted by indigo0086
In fact, I would have to say that I've found more "new wave" programmers being more inclined to attempt to figure things out on their own rather than being diligent and researching the correct solution. It's a great ability to be able to take a step back at a problem and work it out without any knowledge of what you're seeing... however, this is something I only find useful in situations that only require a solution and not necessarily the best solution.
