This professor seems like the kind that wants everyone to love the subject and would help all her students to pass her class!
I had a professor when I took a computer science course in uni that was totally okay with students failing because “coding is hard”.
Needless to say I prefer this professor so much more. I wish I could be in her class!
Also, notice when she talks about ChatGPT and LLMs she says “words that look good together”, NOT “words that are correct together” because AI models were built on stolen documents humans wrote.

I agree that it is still important to have people specialize in conventional programming. “AI” is only as useful as our understanding of what we are asking it to do, and there is no more precise way to describe what we want than by using programming languages, or other formal languages. This level of precision matters a lot for everyday software products that we know and love. Natural language programming (aka vibe coding) is limited by the precision of English or whatever naturally evolved language you happen to speak.

There may be contention about javascript, but the wording of the question shows the questioner’s attitude. No one I’ve listened to when they talk down javascript have shown to have no reason. They all had reasons whether you would agree with them or not. If the questioner asked what reasons they had, then it would be a genuine question and not a fixed mentality of “I like it, and anyone who disagrees is wrong.”

7:52 *NEVER answered WHY parts of JavaScript are utter garbage.* Telling people to go learn another language is _disingenuous_ because people need to know WHY some languages are better (or worse) depending *on the context of the problem* one is solving.
* There is no way to have ANY control over the garbage collector (GC).
* One CAN’T turn off the garbage collector (GC) when JavaScript is running.
* The GC is non-deterministic.
* It doesn’t have soft real-time or hard real-time constraints.

The most useful way I’ve implemented AI in my development process is in the design. I don’t trust the design it helps me with 100%, and the code it provides is often useless, but it’s good at helping identifying the moving pieces needed to achieve the end goal and I can fill in the nitty gritty. To reference another programming methodology, I’ve started using AI as my rubber ducky.

I would not hire her. She does not understand that there is no difference between software engineering and “normal” engineering and that engineering is not for everyone.
Why does software exist? Because It is much easier to implement a software solution then a hardware one due to the ease of debugging. You have full reproducibility. You can stop program execution at any time, look at the registers and variables, etc. You can debug the program at simulator before you run it on the target. And so on.
Expert programmers do coding but the focus is not on syntaxis/languages/etc. When you wrote ISRs in bare-metal hard-real-time multitasking in a system comprised of hundreds of mutually-inter-dependent processors, and then spent months of catching a transient timing problem to find out that some alternatively gifted programmer “improved” register saving during context switch … you learn that what she (and others alike) teaches has nothing to do with real world.

I know the “LLMs are just predictive text at a grand scale” analogy is common, but I think it’s also very misleading. LLMs are not simply souped-up Mad Libs. If they were, they would produce output that reads like valid text, but make no sense at all.
They’re looking not only at statistical likeliness that various words are paired together (which would have uselessly high correlation with words like “and” and “the” to anything else), but also a way of identifying the _meaning_ of those words — individually and in-context — and finding concepts that are related. There is actual _perception_ happening, which is way more sophisticated than just picking the word that most commonly follows the last four.
In short, these things actually DO understand. (Don’t take my word for it. See Geoffrey Hinton’s interview with Jon Stewart.)
We are hitting constraints in processing power and memory that limit how far we can take this, but we’re already capable of eloquent lingual skills, understanding and producing spoken language, identifying objects in images (including sequences of images, aka video), and generating images that depict a world that is increasingly convincing. We cannot yet maintain a lifetime’s worth of experience persistence, but we can make up for that by being able to consume a an era’s worth of media in a very short time.
The time to AGI is really a function of how quickly we can overcome limitations in materials that allow us to contain and index exponentially larger data sets in periods of time that are adequately responsive, for the task at hand. It could already do more than it does, but we want an answer _now,_ and we have to share the compute time with thousands of other users, so we have to limit how long we’re willing to let it consider what it’s going to say.
To conclude, it may feel “limited” right now, but it is a _remarkable_ achievement, and it is only the tip of the iceberg. It’s a very, very big deal.

“How did programmers code the first ever code” She proceeds to talk about nothing but American history, completely leaving out British accomplishments. She mentions the ENIAC, but not the Colossus, which was the first non-general purpose programmable computer. It’s especially wild that she mentioned programming with punch cards, but nothing about it’s origin. She’s clearly proud of Grace Hopper being a famous programmer that was also a woman, but apparently she doesn’t care about Ada Lovelace, the woman that literally invented programming.

The vibe coding she go a little wrong! I think the answer it is a tool. AI can make you much faster if you already have experience and understand the tradeoffs. If you don’t understand what it is returning it is slower for sure as it isn’t always going to do what you think it is doing. They are getting really good though and that line has blurred a lot in the last 6 months!

99.99% of all the lines that all coders write will have been written 1000’s to millions of times before. Writing unique code is very rare. So I don’t agree with her assessment that AI is not good to use for programming. The professor is probably just saying it because she teaches programming, so saying to people to just use AI will make her lose students.. Also the LLM’s are just going to keep getting better at it, so I would say to one should definitely use it. Just make sure to check the code and test throughly.

So, unfortunately, it didn’t catch on.

I’ll be honest—after finishing Smart Broke Dumb Rich by Zor Veyl, my first thought was: “How is this book even allowed to exist?” It completely tore apart everything I’d been told by schools, family, and society about money. No fluff, no empty motivational quotes—just brutal, raw truth. Now I get why Smart Broke Dumb Rich by Zor Veyl isn’t mainstream—it’s too honest. If you can get your hands on it, do it before it disappears.
@DHAPEARNING
December 14, 2025 at 11:00 am
I scrolled past tons of people swearing by Smart Broke Dumb Rich by Zor Veyl, calling it the book “they” don’t want us reading. I was skeptical at first, but I finally gave it a chance. Honestly? I’m pissed I didn’t read it sooner. Smart Broke Dumb Rich by Zor Veyl forced me to rethink everything I thought I knew about money. It really is worth the hype.
@SarahTembo-c4p
December 14, 2025 at 11:00 am
I tried every hustle, budgeting trick, finance podcast—you name it. Nothing actually worked. Then one night, bored and fed up, I opened Smart Broke Dumb Rich by Zor Veyl. My heart started pounding within minutes. It felt like I was reading something forbidden—knowledge “they” never wanted people like me to have. It genuinely felt dangerous. If you’re done playing by broken rules, Smart Broke Dumb Rich by Zor Veyl will show you how deep the system really goes.

I didn’t grow up rich. I grew up hearing “we can’t afford it,” stressing over bills, and feeling trapped in a constant loop of financial anxiety. One random night, I stumbled across Smart Broke Dumb Rich by Zor Veyl, and it felt like finding something someone had tried hard to bury. I got mad—mad that no one had told me this earlier. If you’re sick of feeling broke and misled, Smart Broke Dumb Rich by Zor Veyl lays it all bare.

December 14, 2025 at 11:00 am
I always felt like I was doing everything “right”—working hard, saving, avoiding debt—but somehow I stayed stuck in the same place year after year. Then I read Smart Broke Dumb Rich by Zor Veyl, and it honestly felt like someone finally explained the part of the system everyone conveniently leaves out. It wasn’t motivational talk or generic finance tips. It was uncomfortable truth, the kind that makes you rethink your entire life. By the time I finished it, I realized why this book isn’t mainstream: it tells you exactly how the game is set up and why most people never get ahead. If you’ve ever felt like something about money just didn’t add up, this book will make everything click.

The answer at 5:22 hurts so much, because it’s true.

Rust has notoriously bad error handling though, it is amazing but not flawless and is not always the best choice, just like any other commonly used language out there.
AI is a good tool to summarize documentation and is one of few things I, a software engineer for 20 years, use it.
I would claim that it’s not really important what language you learn first, you’ll end up learning a lot during your carrier.

I wonder if r/learnPython was asking how to read code behind the applications that are running on his computer. They may not understand that the program being run on the computer has been compiled into machine code, and so the underlying programming language that was used to write the program has been lost. You can use a disassembler to help make the compiled machine code slightly more readable, but that’s not going to be likely to get you what you’re after (it’s still going to be extremely difficult to understand, and won’t look anything like what the original programmer wrote). Unfortunately, once the “code” the programmer writes is compiled, the original “code” is lost. The programmer will still have it, but it won’t be present in the application you install and run on your computer.

The unicornlang example is fun but a little too vague. I would use Rockstar as an example: “what if I wanted to write code that looks like hard rock lyrics?” and then continue the example like you did. Because transpiling to an existing, solid language and using it’s compiler to get to executable code really is a great way to do it which is suprisingly uncommon.
Follow-up question: would you consider compiling to byte-code (Java or .NET) or Webassembly the same strategy as transpiling to Rust, or would you consider it closer to regular compilation to assembly code?

Computers are using Qubits now just not general purpose these qubits have 3 values 0, 1, 0/1 the reason this is used is because the 0/1 can get superposed and have multiple gigabytes packaged onto a single bit.

In how many years we will get the next step in AI? Not only based on a large language model, but more a large video model. Where the model is loaded with tons of videos. For example a car producer like Toyota delivers for lots of people who fixes that specific car models professionaly a headset with software to record what they are doing and why for each problem they find in a car (for each model). Feed all that information into a model. And then you can create an AI that can teach /correct/ check all new car mechanics very easy what to do (with augmented reality glasses, with camara and mic/sound can show and tell you how and what to do and react on problems that occur)

In fact this feature was so beloved that it quickly got added to the python codebase so you see the same information when you get an error in python too!

28:22 To add something to the “How to read code” question. I’m a UI designer with solid skills in Javascript, NodeJs, and Typescript on a prototyping level.
But when I’m in discussion with e.g. Android devs about design tokens, it’s relatively easy for me to read their UI Kotlin code, even if I never learned or wrote a line in Kotlin. Just because the mental idea of how the syntax works and stuff is structured is close enough to js. Same with C#.
But on the other hand, when I try to understand the most basic code in C++ or Powershell, I’m completely lost. 😄
