I liked a lot of your points but If i'm honest, i found some of them a little elitist. I don't like how a lot of these takes simply take out the pedagogic factor and blames it all on students "too distracted by cellphones". A big part of the reason people can't engage in understanding the mathematical and logical basis for computer science is because most of the faculties follow ancient doctrines built to discourage students, instead of stimulating them by creating concrete knowledge links between mathematical formaility and modern software development. I am not saying the basics should not be taught, exactly the opposite, but i believe the teaching methods are outdated - at least if the goal is to engage and graduate more programmers, which may not be the case. I do however agree that, same as with other professions that are or have been trendy (lawyer, medical doctor, architect, etc) A lot of people believe that writing code is writing plain sequential instructions that through magic become whatever you want(and cashing big checks for it), when in fact it's more of a creative work of abstraction to model data in useful ways. It's understanding the intricacies of our own natural language and reform it so that you can apply logic that is mathematically coherent and therefore can be read by machines. And there are a good amount of people that, upon finding that out, give up on programming. I also see that a lot with your last point - so many people want to be programmers because they are not "good with people", but programming is a people skill in essence. Great topic, thanks for sharing!

Thanks for your thoughtful feedback! I agree that educational methods in computer science should evolve to connect theory with modern software development practices. It's also important to dispel the misconception that programming is just about writing basic code. True programming involves a deep understanding of logic and creative problem-solving. And yes, the misconception that programming is a solitary activity for people not "good with people" needs to be addressed. Programming is inherently a collaborative and communicative field, where understanding and working with others is key. Appreciate your input on this topic!

How did KZbin recommend me this Totally worth it

[@rc8s]

Thanks for captioning most of the video.

How I loved computer learning and how I hated computer learning, the reason was the university and i become social media addict, I started learning computer when I started high school six years ago, i didn't have a mobile phone or laptop back then, i used to practice on the school computer.

[@svansdance]

You could apply this to so many different proffesions, not just coding. Very informative, thanks!

"That's not because they are not smart enough". Of course it is.

[@RichardStrittmatter]

You said it not me 😂

[@assmptioncorrect198]

KZbin suggest me this video ....im learing the python & im 1st year Robotics and ai student(from india )

Now i think for sure your facecam is not an AI generated😀

[@ayushpandey8344]

you said goddam right

[@alexhernandez8550]

cs is not all about programming also if you just want to program all day, get into web development or even software dev or even software egni but all of them are different in some way.

[@RichardStrittmatter]

Absolutely!

[@arpitkumar4525]

Exactly, CS is about maths on a machine. The science of how a computation machine works and how we can exploit it.

OMG Lord Richard the wise. Thank god he gave you to us. :*************************

[@RichardStrittmatter]

Nah, you got it man!

[@arpitkumar4525]

Programming is obsolete anyways. There already are well built algorithms and libraries and for using those you have got AI. What is still relevant and will remain relevant until AI becomes sentient is Software Development. I am not interested in Programming anyways but in Software Development.

[@RichardStrittmatter]

Your thought is valid, but based on my experience, I cannot fully agree. Many firms, particularly here in Europe, still adhere to a traditional mindset and are somewhat skeptical of embracing AI technologies, even though they could greatly benefit from doing so. Consequently, programmers are far from becoming obsolete. To excel as a programmer in today's world, the best strategy is to become skilled at effectively integrating AI into your daily business tasks.

[@br0ken_107]

well programming itself as a job never existed it was always development. programming is a tool which in itself can do nothing. and stop with the AI hype -- "AI becoming sentient, we don't live in fantasy". "There already are well built algorithms and libraries and for using those you have got AI" the same AI which can't properly copy paste, right? People hyped self driving cars the same way a decade ago they are still useless and don't work in real world where unpredictability is a huge factor, same with AI it can do routine task with prewritten scripts but is certainly nowhere close to being sentient or even making mediocre devs obsolete atleast for a decade or two, by then neither you nor me would be a junior engineer who writes code 80% of their time. AI currently is a joke and can't even do 1% or what people assume it can do.
