    Another funny thing about the meme "My code doesn't work, let's change nothing and run it again" (which I do all the time too) is that if it happens to work the second time you've got an even bigger problem on your hands.

      Exactly. Also: sometimes the process of a failure can tell you what is going wrong. Beyond the error message, I'm thinking more about the 'feel' of what happens before the crash, like when lagging or jittering, etc... starts.

    Running code again that didn't work is almost the equivalent of opening the fridge again after you found nothing the first time you opened it up minutes before. I say "almost" because sometimes when you open it again your level of desperation has increased and you are re-evaluating its contents and whether or not you're willing to work with something that's in there.

      If you don't run it again how do you know if the issue is deterministic or not? If you run the code twice and it doesn't work both times but in slightly different ways or works the second time you might have race conditions etc.

      Once or twice, I did have a program run differently the second time (not multi threaded, so no race conditions). Maybe it was a compiler or linker bug, maybe some buffer needed to get flushed, maybe thinking about programming all the time has finally driven me insane, who knows.

    Jokes aside, this conversation gave me a powerful realisation. My background is 20+ years in Computer Science and Programming, but listening to George's passion and enthusiasm revealed how ill-suited I am in fact to that industry. I love problem solving and helping teams work well together, but when I see real computer scientists and programmers like George speak, it highlights how very differently my brain works.
    I know many people suffer with imposter syndrome, but I am deeply self-reflective and I don't think it's just a confidence issue.
    I think for me, being a true computer scientist comes down to this:
    Does complexity excite you, or annoy you?
    My career path has been mostly about minimising, or avoiding complexity. Yes, there are times to be lean and keep things simple, but there are also times when you need to explode complexity to hit that moon-shot. People who can hold that complexity comfortably, with passion and enthusiasm are the real programmers.

    • @jonaskoelker
      @jonaskoelker 4 роки тому +12

      Uh, minimizing complexity is a good thing, both when you're building something simple and when you're building something complex. People can hold 7 +- 2 things in their head. If you're average that might put an upper limit on how complex systems you can build, but the world needs a lot of fairly straightforward restaurant table / concert ticket / airplane seat booking systems. There's plenty of ways you can contribute something of value, even if there are some systems that are out of reach for you.
      With my current knowledge I should not go anywhere near machine learning. With my temperament I should probably never go near banking or medical systems. I don't criticize myself for being that way.
      You don't have to be capable of everything, you just have to be good at one thing.

    never been so happy, best of both worlds, also i can open vim inside of my IDE and do everything i want to do with VIM using VIM and use my IDE for more tasks i never felt good doing on vim, such as refactoring code or running it inside of a debug environment.

    About the doctors vs programmer meme (2:26), I once was a medic/personal assistant in a clinic (i.e. was always with the doctor). I can name multiple examples where I've seen them use Google/webMD after the patient stepped out of the examination room (or better yet, ask me to google it for them). That job erased any desire I had to become a medical doctor. Obviously there are good ones, but the amount of incompetent medical 'professionals' would surprise you.

    The weirdest programming bug I ever got was while programming a robot for a competition.
    Before a holiday break, the code was working fine. It wasn't well refined and the variables weren't perfectly tuned, but it was working. Coming a week later, it doesn't work anymore. Can't find any issue with the code, enter debug mode. To solve the issue I had to copy/paste a variable assignment.
    So that
    "a = 0;"
    Wouldn't work, but
    "a = 0;
    a = 0;"
    Did work. To this day I'm still confused by it.

    I would say the best approximation for if a candidate is good or not when it comes to programming is curiosity. It could be their motivation, sure, or they could have other motivations that are also good. Passion for something will often include curiosity, but curiosity may not necessarily result in passion. Passion could on the other hand get you into impasses or disagreements that turn counterproductive. IMHO some passion is good, but too much passion can go from fueling your fire to burning things down.

    If your code doesn't run the first time, you absolutely must run it again. Not because it will actually run, or yield different result, but because (get ready) you will often find that upon re-executing it you are mentally reprocessing what could've went wrong. Don't believe me ? - check yourself next time you ran it again and realized the mistake you made earlier.

    Reading 3 research papers on a topic doesn't make an expert. If you think about it medical students know a lot of stuff but you wouldn't want to be treated by one. When you see a doctor you are asking "based on your experience, what would you recommend" Simple. Not a competition on who is smarter than who.

    1:00 is indeed long but familiar. Not the most funny thing, but close to my experience. When technology became trendy with mobile phones, facebook and so on, people who previously were snob on new technology and mocked nerds, they come back showcasing their phones and how much into tech they are, talking to google voice because it's so cool and futuring. Meanwhile I know many programming geek friends who on the contrary wouldn't follow the new trend, they'd still have an old phone, not having an account on facebook, etc. Someone from the outside would be like "But how? I know you are nerd so you should have been first adopter!". But it's very true, I know many actual programming nerds who would surprise one on how they are not as much into the new tech trends. Eventually that changes, but they don't need to be inside the last trends as they have already proven their worth on the tech by knowing how to write code, when everyone thought this was for nerds in the negative way.
    12:17 That's true, but why do I still think that the most bloated software is on the web? The web browser itself is taking too much resources, the web programmers are not as knowledgable in how computer actually work in the lower level compared to desktop app programmers. A lot of the webdev world seems pretty weird to me and with too much extra stuff and dependencies (I read the story of dependencies to extrernal code for such simple functions, and I was like what? You can't write that yourself? This is pretty weird for some programmer like me who has no idea of how things regurarly work on webdev. qz.com/646467/how-one-programmer-broke-the-internet-by-deleting-a-tiny-piece-of-code/). True some games have become huge but it's to be expected with so many graphics resources (and I prefer simpler indie games which are more fun than movie like games). I don't think gamedevs are doing worse work in optimizing than web devs.

      UA-cam tracks all of that stuff. When you look at the data youtube gives you for one of your videos it will give you a breakdown of if it was watched on a tv, pc, mobile device and such. How their algorithm favors each piece of data and how much support that gives the creator is a bit unknown because they tweak their algorithm all the time. Things like minutes watched weigh heavily on recommend boosting.
