Programmers have been mythologized as superheroes that can solve any type of problem put in front of them with a sudden epiphany and a few keystrokes. The reality is that most programmers have a particular mindset and approach to solving problems that help them get to a desirable outcome. In this video, Stephanie breaks down that mindset - perhaps it'll rub off on you!

I came from ALX internship. I wish I had listened to this a year ago. It looks simple but makes a humongous difference in your learning Journey Thank you for this great video ❤

@hamzahelanbary4369 Год назад

It is ALX that leads me to this video as it is a part of one of its projects. I am just having the first step in this track, so it would be very appreciated if you can supply me with some tips that can help me go through ALX software engineering program. Thanks in advance

I’ve been a programmer for over 40 years (yikes!) and I’ve had a successful career by all accounts. You’ve reminded me where I come from. I think part of the fun is solving the problems, or solving the puzzle, to see if I can do it, and then to see how others have done it. This is a great start to understanding what programming is about. We’ll done.

TFST (thanks for sharing this). 40 years? I thought you were 19. OMG. I've entered my Python "DataCamp" with my usual Steve-Rogers approach: (wobbling, fists up) Solving problems?" (wobbling) "I can do this all day!"

@Leo.Dhas. 4 года назад

This is one of the best learning videos because it doesn't assume you know everything like some other ones.

@Solutionist1 2 года назад

This has definitely put me more at ease with learning coding, shifting the focus from an overwhelming sense of "I have to learn everything", to a focus on utilising and developing my problem solving abilities.

@nyambesimangolwa5755 Год назад

Thank you so much for these videos, I'm incredibly new at this and have been deathly afraid that wanting to build androids are something i'll never be able to achieve, but these breakdowns really help me realize that it can be possible. It feels kinda like being dropped into a new country on my own without any sort of preparations or security. Now though i see some speck of light so let's see were it lead i suppose haha!

@luketeal1076 3 года назад

I forgot why i switched from IT to Nursing. But after this year, I wanted to explore the programming field again. Your video was an encouragement and why I stopped pursuing IT. I took shortcuts and they hurt after I was stuck. This was my perspective. Thanks for the video. I look forward re-learning all these baby steps and find a way to reintegration nursing-programming.

@saudahjimoh963 Год назад

I know it's been a year but I'm switching from Nursing to IT and I am sacred😪

@luketeal1076 Год назад

@@saudahjimoh963 You will not regret it. Nursing is a thankless job and you earn scraps. At least with IT (plus you having a nursing background) you can work in informatics for health care. Plenty of my colleagues switch to infomatics or something related to IT-Nursing workspace.

Thanks so much. Really helpful. I have always struggled to understand why people fail some tasks that I consider very easy, not knowing that my perspective as a programmer is really different from theirs. Sometimes even if a person brings a problem I have never tackled, I somehow find my way around it.

Place left hand on the side of the jar. Make sure you have a nice firm grip around the jar. Then, extend your hand and fingers and lie your palm on the lid of the jar as close as possible. Start bending your fingers slightly, keep bending slightly until your fingers grasp the lid in a nice firm hold around the lid. If your palm lifts off the lid, that's okay as long as your hand and fingers have a nice firm hold on the lid. Start and gradually turn the lid in the direction counter to the threads of the jar in order to loosen the lid. Apply more force. Keep applying more force until the lid starts turning. Keep turning, keep turning, ... until the lid comes completely off.

This video shows the difference between a programmer and a person who just codes because one is trying to solve a problem while the other is just trying to get it right. the other thing in this video is you don't have to memorize everything but be innovative with the fundamentals.

I slightly disagree with the 1st premise. The goal of a programmer is not to speak to a machine, but to speak to a human being through a code that a machine can understand.

I think it's funny how in the western world coding and being a programmer is looked on as such a huge awesome thing. While down in India you got millions and millions of people just sitting there coding for giant corporations (especially gaming corporations) for below average wage.
