    Debugging shouldn't take nearly that much of your time if you're an experienced programmer. Only about 20% of my process is debugging, the most time is spent planning and doing the equations & pseudocode on paper...but I'm in scientific computing, not software development.

    Yes, Google is often the fastest way into some specific documentation you put php explode, java replace all, net Tasks.WhenAll and get straight to the right docs. Also, it is very common to check documentation even for the simplest common APIs, because it's impossible and inefficient to memorize all the tiny details behind them, for example indexOf in most languages returns -1 if not found, but some might throw an exception. Some functions throw exception and fail loudly others just returns null, it's messy. The docs also has detailed information about the parameters and how the function will behave in special scenarios, tiny things you cannot simply guess or be expected to keep memorized In short yes, no matter how long you've been programming, research is a tightly related skill.

I agree about the dipping down part.

    dave, ABSOLUTELY. I have a masters in hardware but 100% self taught in software. When I started in 1979, I learned on my own through publications like Popular Electronics, but I quickly discovered there was always one component in any “build this” project that I couldn’t get my hands on so I started designing my own stuff (all discrete, resistors, diodes, transistors, etc), but then I got restless and wanted to learn CPUs so Z80, here I come! But then I realized I couldn’t program anything I designed so the next step was learning Assembly. I learned to code in BASIC as well and was writing games for the TRS-80 in 1980. I wrote my own versions of popular arcade games like Tron and Warlords. It wasn’t until after grade school that I went for the degree (graduated in 1983) but by then I already had a very good groundwork laid in electronics. Well, here it is 40 years later and I’m STILL doing this sh... er stuff! PS, not a silly question!

    The "you have to work alone to work best" line is more of a misunderstanding. You have to get some work done in a day, like in any job. The thing with programming is that, if you're interrupted it can take you 10-15 minutes to get back into the right head-space and remember exactly where you were up to so you can continue coding. So if colleges keep visiting you every 15min for a 30sec chat, or even just ask you a question, you get zero done the entire day. Which is why you need to have at least some blocks of time without interruptions to get work done.

    This is why I hated working in open plan offices and preferred cubicles. A number of times I had to lock myself in an empty room for 2-3 hours when working on a particularly complex piece of code because any distraction at all would set me back. Plus in a cubicle you can personalise your workspace more, and have places to hang up reference sheets.

However, you only work with others as a necessity, if you want to write a really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really big novel. Plus, most programmers being introverts, it's kinda natural. lol

    Yeah I feel like "you have to work alone to work best", isn't a question I could give a yes or no answer to, because it really depends on what is meant by that. I mean, in order to work effectively on anything large, you absolutely need to be able to work well with others. This is a cooperative business by its very nature. Very, very rarely you'll get some kind of programming genius with terrible social skills, and have a manager act as an interface layer between them and everyone else, but that's extremely rare to the point of being almost non-existent. On the other hand, when it comes to actually sitting down to do programming/debugging work, some people definitely do need to be alone to get into a flow state and be their most productive. I'm certainly one of those people, when I have to do any serious coding it's time to get some good music on the headphones and just block out the outside world. I understand the logic behind it, but working in one of those places where they do pair programming would be my worst nightmare, I just can't concentrate with someone hovering over my shoulder.

    I am definitely late to comment, currently going through a bunch of videos on this channel. Super fun stuff, its like binge watching a show you like. Anyway I am a software dev and the puzzle explanation makes so much sense. My favorite part about the puzzle solving with software is that a lot of the time you create puzzles(word problems basically xD) where the goal is to make this puzzle that once it is completed; it will solve other puzzles for you more efficiently. Which the greatest starting project for beginners is to make a basic calculator, you are creating a puzzle(coding calculator) where the goal is that it will solve other puzzels(the math problems). My other favorite part is actually the math. Math has never been my strong suit until i started coding. All of a sudden math became a language to me. Instead of writing the math problem out, then solving it by hand. I could understand what equations i needed for the computer to tell me the solution, then i could enter different values through the software without having to write the problem over and over. Not sure if any of that made sense. Maybe someone will see it and understand lol.

    For the curious: The answer depends on who you ask, really. The most common idea in Poli Sci is that members act in ways that maximize their chances of reelection. They do this by claiming credit for things like getting funding for a fire department, by advertising their existence to their constituents via social media and meetings, and by taking positions on social issues. Others agree with this general idea but also hold that members pursue legislation with goals depending on the committees they serve on and/or their ambition. It may be hard to believe, but a lot of evidence shows that politicians try to push policy that they think that their voting constituents (and sometimes constituents more generally) will benefit from. Others still show that they pursue policies in-line with their ideological beliefs (conditional on what is tractible given the current political moment). But! Interestingly, a lot of good evidence shows that they aren't as easily bought as people think, but they are reliant on the "expertise" (both real and artificial) of their staff and external sources (including outside businesses/lobbying groups but also bureaucrats as well). They're also much more wed to the party line due to a combination of gerrymandering, activism from think-tanks and party activists in general, and rule changes that happened in the 70s but we're catalyzed in the 90s.

    I've been developing software professionally for 6 years now, but I'm curious and passionate about programming languages since I was 11 years old (that's 15 years ago) when I first read C The Complete Reference; What I love most is that I'm constantly both learning new stuff and heavily using the stuff I learned previously, it wears me down every day as any job would, but it never stops being awesome. I'm very lucky to have early on spotted my true vocation.

Problem is most jobs require degree's also require years of experience, if your not already in the field or have close friends who are, your wasting your time.

    +zengrath The thing with Computer Science, is that there's a divide between theory and the frameworks. Theory is what makes you a _scientist_ and if you want to be the one designing all the cool algorithms, you want this. However, if you become a developer/code-monkey, you don't need much theory in your daily life, but instead, you need to learn technologies, languages etc., so that you can apply them _practically,_ and _efficiently_ and that is something that you have to learn outside a University, on your own. That's the reality, a CS degree is basically meaningless for "jobs", if you can't code the things that you know.

    There are relatively few people who can create new, better algorithms for problems that are already solved, and most problems are already solved by somebody somewhere. That's not to say it's always worth searching for the optimal algorithm for a particular problem. Most problems are also quite trivial, or are made up of trivial constituent parts that just happen to be in some novel configuration. A lot of trivial problems have memorized solutions because they come up a lot. A quick and dirty solution is often the best solution because the programmer's time is more valuable than the CPU's time most of the time.

    Started coding when I was about 10. Solving puzzles is pretty spot on. I used to borrow books from the library that had little computer programs in them and I would type them into the computer - and it would *do things*. To a 10 year old (and perhaps any age), that was amazing. Then I figured out that I could change bits here and there and make it do other things. When you figure out something new all on your own, that's just an awesome feeling. Now more than 20 years on, I've made little PC games, Android games, and an online multiplayer io game. All super fun (but a lot of work too). I've actually recently been watching some of Jabril's videos on machine learning, and it has inspired me to dig into that a little more. AI is something I've always been fascinated with. Great to hear you were into coding. You're one of us... ;)

    This might be a direct result of women being stereotyped into more "female" job roles for as long as they have. If their parents or environment brings forth the notion that, that's all there is for females, it might have influenced them, and their kids to follow the stereotype. It's slowly fading away, and I'd imagine will be mostly gone in the next 20 - 50 years, but it takes generations of different perspectives for things to change. At least that's what I believe, that when women were finally allowed to work, they were sort of expected to work at reception, typewriting, or cleaning roles many decades ago. But yes, we should tell both girls and guys that they can do any career path, regardless of the stereotypes behind them for gender.
