today in: programmers are children

It's a good thing he signals his ignorance so clearly

Are there factual errors? I have difficulties reading the format, so didn't check the actual contents

That's adorable, OP. Thanks for the link :3

But...but...he never mentioned SICP!

this is less bad because it's targeted at actual children and attempting to look at things in new ways like that is useful

My Solution is to teach Deep Learning from an intuitive standpoint, just like I've done in the other posts on this blog. Everything you need to know to undrstand Deep Learning will be explained like you would to a 5 year old

What is this shit?

I noticed a trend of articles that treat programmers like they're babies or children. seemed like an interesting thing to catalog.

>>15
So basically it covers 1/10 of an Algorithms course for autistic code-monkeys who write enterprise quality shit?

Technical content by Parth Mittal; art and concept by Radhika Ghosal.

POO

i'm not even talking about the content but the tone. meme pictures, baby talk, safe cuddly mascots and drawings. stuff like that.

To be fair to the original point, I learned programming as a kid. All actually good programmers I know learned as a kid (except those who are so old that computers weren't around when they were a kid, but had similar mentalities from childhood).

It's reasonable to want to get programming in the hands of kids again, now that computer ownership doesn't expect the user to program it, as it did back in the days of terminal shells and BASIC prompts. But none of us who learned as kids did so because of cutesy kiddy crap. We did it because programming itself is interesting and fun.

This. Most likely people who are all about cute shit all time as kids aren't really interested in programming.

Kids with engineering/technical aptitude and a more logical thinking are more likely to be interested in this shit, but those kids don't need drawings and shit.

I remember learning to program the C64. (It wasn't in the "golden age", I'm not that old though.) The manual was in German, I don't speak German at all. I figured out how it works by looking at samples in the manual and trying out instructions. No drawing/mascot/whatever will make a kid do that, only pure willpower and deep interest will make someone spend hundreds of hours alongside a computer.

This is something about getting kids interested about in basic programming so we will have more trained code-monkeys... or something like that.

It's late here, too much typos. Hope it still gets through.

Hmmmmm.

Also cancer.

programmers are essentially children

Good thing I'm a code artisan then.

Good thing I'm an ENTERPRISE code monkey then.
