Today’s retired developer like Uncle Stef was heavily in the field of coding when it was esoteric. Today, there are so many resources available and ai. If it’s your ardent wish to be a coder in any capacity, there’s really no excuses. Thank you Uncle Stef.

@StefanMischook 3 месяца назад

Well said! I used to spend $3000-4000 per year on development books. This is with 1990’s money! I figured I that spending $3-4k was worth it given how much money I made writing code.

I used to be overwhelmed and frustrated by the challenges of coding three years ago. Yet, through perseverance and dedication, I gradually found it to be a fascinating and manageable skill. I learned that continuous practice is key, even if I don't grasp every concept at once.

@shumittaher6084 3 месяца назад

Coding isn’t the hard part. It’s critical thinking and problem solving. We know what a variable is. We know what a for loop is. Even if you don’t know it, you can just look it up. That’s not the problem. The problem is how can we put all of this together to make it work? What can we do to improve it? Innovate it. How can we see this huge problem and break it down step by step? Doesn’t matter if you’re learning JavaScript, Java, Python, C++. If you don’t know how to problem solve, then you’re not going to get far in the field. Math teaches you how to critically think. Will it apply to coding? Probably not. But it teaches you HOW to think. This is just an example. There’s many ways to build up problem solving and critically thinking skills.

That's a much more real challenge than a lot (most) of us over here are facing - good on ya for trying! Maybe you already have it figured out, but I think the basic web stack (HTML, CSS, JavaScript) can run from local files, without Internet, as long as you have power. And there are videos about setting up Python to run off-grid, too. Should basically be downloading the packages while you're online that you'll need when you're offline, and teaching it where to look on your local machine. And if you can get your hands on them, single board computers like Raspberry Pi and Zima Board - and things like CircuitPython, Arduino, and dev boards - might give a low-power solution that can run a long time on a battery. Finally, you can practice HTML and other code just by writing it out and thinking about it, and pseudo-code or "paper prototyping" might be ways to keep learning and practicing when the computer isn't up to the task. Best of luck to you!

It'll be much better soon. The cabal is losing their grip on governments around the world. Prepare for later this year. Federal Reserve note is going down and they will officially announce we are at war after the Olympics. It won't go the way they want. Transitioning to a multi-polar world order is underway. No more NATO hegemony but this cornered animal is going to put up one hell of a last fight.

@PerpetualPreponderer 3 месяца назад

I still maintain that the pioneers of the “new” education system of the industrial age & beyond forgot that nobody ever learnt to walk without first falling dozens of times. It is THE way that our brains are designed to learn. Even handwriting, typing, heck even eating, every new action starts with a mental concept which then translates into signals to the relevant muscle groups, and then the muscles have to be “conditioned”. What is conditioning, but evolution and iteration across “versions” of oneself?

Good advice! I'd love more info on what a "page based paradigm" means. Not sure if I'm right about what I think it means, lol. This was/is my big hurdle with coding. I think something is one thing when it's actually another and construct the wrong sort of mental model. Then I end up having to re-learn it, which is 2x difficult. 😁

I only once found learning to code hard to learn. I was trying to understand this code from The Art of Prolog: append_dl(A / B, B / C, A / C). It appends two difference lists in O(1). After staring at this line for at least two hours, it finally clicked. It was an almost religious experience.

@emerson-sheaapril8555 9 дней назад

The biggest issue I think people have it they don't understand what they are doing at a deep level. They are just copying, they never learn to break things down and they don't understand what's happening in something simple like nested loops. I think everyone should start with python because there are tools like snoop and python tutor that helps you understand why the code works. You aren't focusing on how things look either with html and css which goes hand in hand with JS. It's just impler to start with python. Later it is then easy to take that knowledge to other languages like JavaScript.

Programming, just like any career, requires a solid foundation into that specific field. Can't become a tennis player without learning first to strike the ball. So, you can't become a computer programmer if you have no idea what's a CPU and how it works! You'll learn mechanically and stack tons of technical terms that you can't explain in detail, and this will get you up to junior-mid level, maybe mid-level, but that's it. You'll be stuck there forever, adios moving up the latter from there.

Funnily enough, I find it way easier to learn coding at my 51 (now it feels easy, finally) than when I was indeed badly needing it while being a graphic designer (and illustrator) at many companies. And the reasons behind it I believe were a mix of negative connotations around coding (me feeling it "uglier", less exciting than making graphics) and an emotional self imposed limitation, impostor syndrome, and all that... this is weird, but somehow, having learned a lot of different things (non coding related), and gone through different challenges, maybe now I am better at learning, lol ! Or I see things now with more relativity, and so just demystified the whole thing and due to it, currently my brain works "normally" while trying to code, I dunno.

Coding js is easy not super easy but easy. And I m not even speaking of using chat gpt which gain me even more time by doing more quickly. The most difficult task for a beginner is to know which module to use and when to use it and learn to code fast (without trying and debugging code).

@borislavvelchev7275 3 месяца назад

It's just kinda boring at first. Idk why a lot of people pretend it is not. But it's the best high paying job for like a few decades now. Boredom is good sometimes. Not everything brings you joy and happiness and dopamine right away. But again - it's sometimes overly complicated and unnecessarily difficult by design. But it's worth it. Otherwise a lot of people are doomed to poverty in Eastern Europe and the global south countries. It is a miracle if you think about how many people are able to live a decent living because of programming.

If you can't find something to code for 20 minutes a day, you probably just don't like coding that much. That thrill of making the computer do a thing drove me for at least the first 4 years. I did it every day, without pay, because I wanted to build something cool. I hope I don't sound elitist, but you should probably feel something like that if you intend to enjoy your work after a decade.

Stef, you are hardly impartial lol. Your whole youtube content is based on coding so of course you are going to say ai won't end coding. Tech lead and many other coding gurus who have worked for faang companies have said coding is dying and will be soon be dead. So they are all lying huh? They have no reason to lie, but you have every reason to dispute what they say, because if coding is dying then your chanel stops. Anyway, take care my friend

@jackblack1801 3 месяца назад

@@StefanMischook i don't doubt you will, but I believe it's not realistic to at least acknowledge where ai is heading. Companies want ai to replicate what you see in a supermarket. Most of the cashiers are gone, and there's only one cashier left that manages the self service checkouts. Similarly I believe ai will replicate this model, where 95% of software engineers are gone, and the ones that are left manage the ai systems and tweak any adjustments as needed. Do you understand how much money companies are set to gain if they can get rid of 95% of their engineers and replace them with a few ai systems? Why wouldn't they go for this approach where they are set to make billions in profit?
