Hm. Long questions in general always seem to get answered with NO.
Short ones are hit and miss, but it makes me think that it's the absence of something that triggers a YES.

Is it?

I have a rule.

  • Can we all learn to program in our spare time? -
    You can code in your sleep after just six easy weeks.
    (Yes)

  • Isn't learning a new language hard, though? -
    All you need is a large enough wallet.
    (No)
