"Where exactly is the skill to know good code from bad code supposed to come from?"

Answer: Books. Two semesters of "Software Engineering" from a CS course. A CS course. CS classes: Theory of Computing. (Work. AKA Order(N) notation. Turing machines. Alphabets. Search algorithms and when/why to use them.) Data Structures. (Teaches you about RAM vs. Disk Storage.) Logic a.k.a. Discrete Math. (Hardware stuff = Logic. Also Teaches you how to convert procedures into analytic solutions into numerical solutions aka a single function that gives you an answer through determining the indeterminate of an inductive reasoning (converting a series, procedure or recursive function into an equation that gives you an answer instead of iterating and being dumb.) Networking. (error checking techniques, P2P stuff) Compilers. (Dragon book.) Math. Linear Algebra. (Rocket science) Abstract Algebra (Crypto stuff, compression) Theory of Equations (functional programming). Statistics (very helpful). Geometry. (Proofs).

Taking all these classes makes you smart and a good programmer. "Programming" without them means you're... well. Hard to talk to.

I don't think you need to write any code to be a good programmer. IMHO.

The one with the really high quality crystal methamphetamine?

I actually liked him before he got gakked on the sauce.

YouTube used to have direct messages until 2019.

Reimplemented in Nov 2025 for Ireland and Poland.

BitCoin fixes this.
