Problem Solve Like a Computer Programmer | Kyle Smyth | TEDxRPLCentralLibrary

Computers are stupid. From this strong opening statement, Kyle explores how thinking through a problem like a computer programmer can help you in your work and your everyday life. He shows how to properly define a problem with a step by step computer science demonstration and through his personal journey of self-improvement. Kyle is a software developer turned entrepreneur. Born and raised in Regina, he studied Software Systems Engineering at the University of Regina. He is currently building a tech startup, called Offstreet, that aims to solve inefficiencies in the parking industry. He is passionate about running, science-fiction, building things, and problem-solving. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at www.ted.com/tedx

    Key Steps for Problem Solving 1. Define your problem 2. Make sure you fully understand the problem 3. Break the problem down into small and manageable pieces 4. Go as deep as you can, until you can get to easy (yes or no) questions 5. Work your way from the bottom until the problem is solved 6. Recognise some problems are completely out of your control and that's ok.

    Thank you! I tend to take on all these problems I have into huge chunks and quit because I overwhelmed myself and lose my confidence and the energy to move on. I just needed to break it all down to easy pieces. Glad I can apply this advice to all I do.🥰

    Be careful which programmer you pick. Remember most of the time it's a programmer who caused the problem in the first place. However, learning good logical problem solving can help almost any job. And when dealing with humans in a problem situation--things can ger very weird.
