And learning sewing is useful, but I dont need it to wear clothes.
It's not comparable to sewing. That would be learning C++ and Qt.
It's comparable to making a sandwich.
No, making a sandwich is more effort equivalent to sending an email, or maybe adding items to a shopping site cart and buying them. Both are fairly intuitive and don’t involve memorizing weird commands like “ls” and “cd” (“cd? But my computer doesn’t even have a CD drive!”).
OK, making borsch is a more fitting analogy. With it being edible and not yielding muffled "heresy" cries from people from Eastern Europe.
Also you should be more creative with your sandwiches probably.
How is learning C++ and QT not programming?
Golly.
C++ and QT is programming comparable to hard things in life.
Shell scripting is programming comparable to usual things in life.
Capisce?
