Not sure what to think about this. But it's definitely not silly.

Wtf?!! I have learned like 15x more useful information from hacking around in Python and c than I got from 10years of school...

I think complex math is easier in coding form. It's very instructional, but on paper it looks like hieroglyphs.

Be right back getting pitchfork

@dumpling I love people like you 😂

I think that math just teach you to solve problems with some kind of luck, avoiding being stuck in stupid things

@bjorngi I second this. When learning about e.g. AI from youtube/articles I sometimes have difficulties reading the math-notation but when the code shows up it suddenly all makes sense. I guess it's just the fact that programming is done in the most basic language possible - it's basically an easy mode for maths that works the same way

It is a fad. Take it from me, I joined last year when I was only 13. If you’re in any grade below 9th, kids are at drastically different places. The kids who are good at it can’t go ahead like they should be allowed to, unlike us, because we know how to use our resources, and the kids who are struggling fall back, and just read and copy code. If you ask a struggling kid (ex. in a java course, when I was in 8th grade basic scratch was the most advanced programming we got to do) “what does System.out.println(“hi”); do?” He’d say something in the ballpark of “it prints hi,” on the other hand,

if you ask an advanced kid the same question, he’d say something like “System is a class with system properties, and the .out is an output stream that goes to the console, when you perform the .println() method on it, it pushes the parameters thru the output stream, which automatically flushes, and displays “hi” on the screen. It also appends a new line character after the string parameter.” Unfortunately, only kids who take matters into their own hands become good at programming at a young age.

Mostly just skepticism. The part that got to me is pictured below. Earlier in the article she compared coding to a car engine: you don't need to know how an engine works to drive a car. Well, cars can only run on engines, that's how it works. Engines won't go anywhere, similar to code. Sure, you may make a drag-and-drop website, but you will never make anything even moderately complex. It's difficult to make logic drag and drop.

They are kidding right ?, I am very average at math but when the same formula is applied in some kind of code I understand it.

Let's see who's crying when AI gets their jerbs in 30 years.

At least I'll have a job, ai generated text isn't too hard, but ai generated animation is, at least everyone here will have food, while she gets terminated by Linux based killbots.
