The Art of Code - Dylan Beattie

Ғылым және технология

Software and technology has changed every aspect of the world we live in. At one extreme are the ‘mission critical’ applications - the code that runs our banks, our hospitals, our airports and phone networks. Then there’s the code we all use every day to browse the web, watch movies, create spreadsheets… not quite so critical, but still code that solves problems and delivers services.
But what about the code that only exists because somebody wanted to write it? Code created just to make people smile, laugh, maybe even dance? Maybe even code that does nothing at all, created just to see if it was possible?
Join Dylan Beattie - programmer, musician, and creator of the Rockstar programming language - for an entertaining look at the art of code. We’ll look at the origins of programming as an art form, from Conway's Game of Life to the 1970s demoscene and the earliest Obfuscated C competitions. We’ll talk about esoteric languages and quines - how DO you create a program that prints its own source code? We’ll look at quine relays, code golf and generative art, and we’ll explore the phenomenon of live coding as performance - from the pioneers of electronic music to modern algoraves and live coding platforms like Sonic Pi.

    In the early 1980's i created many programs on a TI-59 programmable calculator that often took hours or even days to complete. I then put an AM radio receiver close to the calculator, and by carefully tuning it, I was able to listen to the electronic "music" of calculation, and I could tell, just by hearing, in which loop the program was looping into, and how far it was from achieving its final task. That was a truly artistic moment.

    As Andres said, I'm a senior dev and I've seen almost all of this before, including having read Hoftstaeder, etc. There were some genuinely new things that were interesting/inspiring, but he can't expect developers to be new to most of this. Don't get me wrong, this was a great presentation and we need more like it. As the non-programmer commenter said, "I've never written a single word of code in my life and was absolutely enthralled by this from start to finish."

    29:00 A program that prints its own source code reminded me of my first project in Programming 101 in college about 40 years ago. The project was to use Apple Basic on an Apple II to write a program and document the program in a flowchart. I thought flowcharting was dumb so I wrote a program that would create a flowchart of itself. Self documenting. Professor was a little pissed. Flowcharting was replaced with adding comments as programs became way too complex to make flowcharting useful. Add comments were largely replace with the reality that comments often mismatch code as code is changed and comments remain. But I still use a lot of comments but mostly as brainstorming.

    There is this global disdain for COBOL, but there are COBOL programs that are still running, basically untouched for over 40 years. If a programmer is careful with their variable names (spending enough time in the Data Division), COBOL can be essentially self-documenting, saving an extra step. I have always believed in paragraph documentation, where you write a paragraph describing what a procedure or block of code is intended to do and then add in descriptions of any particularly tricky techniques that are used therein. Line by line comments are essentially useless to any but the totally clueless and if they are that clueless, they don't belong in there in any case.

    @EramSemperRecta dear Sir, everything change, by evolution, engineering or extinction. Artificial Intelligence is just inevitable. But is normal to have a hard time trying to understand scales bigger than our lifetime. for example you talk about bananas being the same in a billion years. Only a thousand years ago the bananas you find in the supermarket doesn't exist, the bananas of our time had been developed by selecting seeds and species , and that process continue today, we try to develop fruits more resistant to plagues, that grow faster, use less water, etc. And if bananas change in less than a thousand years, what a computer will be in 1000 years is totally away of our imagination.

    HOLY SHIT, Dylan. Rockstar is a triumph, but ending the talk with an actual performance of FizzBuzz is pure genius. What a legend.

    Fantastic! Can only appreciate the tons of work that went into preparing the presentation. I distinctly remember the buzz getting my first program to work (1962 using FORTRAN). Now, 58 years later, just got the same buzz programming a simple game in C#. BTW - Donald Knuth "The Art of Programming" - totally brilliant books.
