You've missed "The Game Developer" - the guy who wanted to be a game developer. They've entered programming with the hope of making the next big MMO (or watever), however it took them 15 years to realize that games aren't made with just programming anymore and it takes usually more than one person to make a game. So they've evolved into a regular programmer that still has their own game engine rolling their entire life.

@@jpppptrade I do play games but none of the people I know and work with started with a 3D FPS game as a first project. I'm in several beginner channels and am very cynical and elitist - it's hard to not crap on their dreams. People should start with command line programs, learn some data structures, write a JSON parser, study some vector and matrix maths. Unity might be easy but software development is a perpetual process of breaking shit. Some day the texture loading might break and without any intuition and knowledge of how an engine works or how to debug issues the noobie will just go somewhere and ask "unity no work, how 2 fix?" - which is 80% of the help requests I see. Maybe don't undertake a project that usually takes 3-5 years of development by a 300 member team without knowing the ABCs.

He was of Scandinavian background, tall, blond and handsome, with a huge gleaming smile like an actor in a toothpaste commercial. But! He was shy, spoke in a high squeaky voice, and giggled a lot. And he lived in the basement of his manager's house (yeah, really - he rented it from his manager). Super-helpful guy, he'd try to patiently explain why he hadn't used the Fast Fourier Transform routine from the library, because his own implementation was 10% faster ... "but of course, *you* should just use the library version" he'd say, without any awkwardness. He was such a nice bloke, but I came close to hanging up my keyboard and walking away from IT ... I felt like a fraud, by comparison.

Man, I was replying with a little novel but I deleted it accidentally ...👹 I think that I understand what you mean. Sometimes it can happen to feel less than a colleague or similar. That happens when you care much about your work, but people frequently do just the bare minimum to avoid unwanted risks. As long as you persevere, you will develop many skills, especially in the areas where you have more difficulty. Those successes can be your fuel, when approaching new stuff and your mind will try to convince you that you're not enough. After trying many different jobs, I've realised that IT engineering is the field where I'm able to do something useful, and do it well. I like to see that my work can help other people into solving their problems, or doing something better. In other fields I missed this, it was only a mere task execution. I don't know if this is a good explanation, but what I'm trying to say is that if you find a purpose in your job, then it's only a matter of time before you will master what you do. Don't worry, I think it's perfectly normal to have doubts. Perfection leaves no space to improvement. That's why people who think to know everything, ultimately know very little. Cheers

​@@LinkEX ​ No this is obviously a misleading mindset that goes against growth. To me coding is just like any other creative writing profession (e.g. copywriting) and your growth in problem-solving skill mostly comes from domain expertise. k-12 taught all the basic problem-solving skill you needed to become a very productive programmer. Heck, I'm in research these days and the best problem solvers I've known are all theoretical mathematicians and hardly any of them make a productive coder. You see, your statement itself is paradoxical since "solving ten times more problems" and "writing elegant code" come at expense of one another, if someone writes "impeccable" code at 10x productivity, he could be a 20x developer should he chooses to program with minor bugs and casual code styles, and I know most teams, not of a mission-critical nature, would very much prefer that. You just raise the bar to arbitrary level and the only result it would ever achieve is to stop new people from growing. The more likely scenario is we all wanted to be 10x developers when we got started and we prob all been that 10x developer at some point in a team, exactly like eva suggested. For any beginner, words like "outstanding ps skills" and "impeccable codes" is an obvious sign to watch out for, it's the kind of language your brogrammer boss would use in order to keep you a cog in the wheel at 200% while he's getting all the sweet promotion and bonus with all the OKRs and slideshows based off your work.

[@LinkEX]

​@@dl662 You think the notion of a "10x developer" hurts the growth mindset? Hmm, I never took it that way - obviously programming is a skill that anyone can grow and refine. And yes, the "10x" in the "10x developer" _is_ kind of arbitrary. But the main idea is that, as opposed to say a physical worker, there are people that really _can_ manage to do work in one evening that would take "the average programmer" a whole week. Or that's still cleaner and shorter than the code others would have come up with even after two weeks of refactoring. They're essentially the Olympic athletes of IT, where talent and dedication meet. Some people just have a knack for the craft and are good learners. By the time they are active in the job market, they might still be further ahead than seniors with a decade of experience.

There is also the sage embedded system programmer who writes exclusively in C, and if the compiled code is not fast enough he modifies the assembly directly. He actually does need the improvement of those few clock cycles. Never heard about scrum or agile, uses single letter variable names. He also actually understands and uses control theory on a daily basis and could rebuild modern society from scratch in a matter of weeks. When the need arises he has no problem churning out his own embedded OS. Designs his own hardware.

The mathematician is a bit different because they DO need to know how the high-level math works on an intimate level. The truth is that unless if you go out of your way to become a SME, you will limit yourself according to what you need. And if you can easily copy what others have done to fulfill what you need...well, you just become good at figuring out how to copy other folks. The true signs of a SME is someone that can take others' knowledge, deeply understand it, and innovate it as necessary to overcome whatever obstacles are in their way to achieve their goal.

@@KANJICODER I have to ask, do you really think that you are sooo important that someone decides to take the time to hack your goddamn car? What is this main character bullshit lol. Besides, what are you doing on KZbin? You know someone can grab your IP address? Or maybe you have a VPN active? But even then, if someone really wanted, they'd find you.

[@KANJICODER]

@@freezeaim2412 No. Someone takes the effort to hack ALL CAR LOCKS. Then some script kiddie uses it on your car. This is like, coding 101. Code Re-Use. If you ask me more than one question in the next comment, I am not going to respond. I can't argue with you if you shotgun questions like that, which creates branching paths on a linear thread.

"...my pursuit of minimalism is quickly turning me into the jaded old guy in my mid-20s" ah, isn't that fun? XD

Does somebody know why the code in 2:11 is considered bad design?🎉

[@HaniiPuppy]

Because "Stereo" and "Types" were on separate lines, I read them as separate words, and thought this was going to be about some interesting new variation on union types.

As someone that does music, maybe we should give an ear to the monotypes sometimes...

4:37 He only codes in C, not C++ and definitely not any of the hipster garbage that you're using 🤣🤣🤣

The fact that we don't see many minimalist programmers commenting here makes this stereotype so much more amusing

Im pretty sure my brother is a 10x developer / or at least 3x. But he decided that he preferred teaching over programming so he instead switched to teaching at a high-school (maybe he'll be able to produce more great developer) Btw, I'm the woman who codes. My other brother is most definitely the brogrammer ;) Really liked this video! Great one :3
