How to learn Python programming | Guido van Rossum and Lex Fridman

Ironically I started to pick up python a lot more in the past months I agree 100% with him mentioning that to find something to do with it is very good advice I found multiple reasons to use Python for example with Excel sheets and also using options to create pages from WordPress

The problem is that people associate learning with only one thing and think this is gonna be my career, if u are sure, take it but it; 's not then learn everything which fasinates you one by one at a time, learn the language, build things, take a job and keep learning, you cant stop learning in cs, interesting things keep coming and u keep trying things but burnout happens, so gotta schedule ur life with family, health, and weath along with spiritual part.

I want to solve the problem of money

I want to create a new Earth with Python. 😊😊😊

Great Britain - a small country amongst big trading blocks.

Something feels off about this host

I'm in a beginner class for programming( I'm majoring in electrical engineering) and I have zero knowledge in programming besides a few lectures. I enrolled in cs50 the course Harvard provides to help gain knowledge out side of class but I have no idea on how to practice programming and write code… I feel like if their was something I could practice on it would be nice

He still has to do the 'Thinking' haha

Why’s this dude always dressed like MIB, IBM, 1950’s FBI,

Love the conversations great!

Nailed it. True. Even if it writes to correct code. Somone need to validate. And instruct to write what they exactly want in the first place. May be boring stuffs are taken out..

This is very helpful for someone learning programming. That Guido says he forgets stuff every day and just looks it up and drops it in as needed. Because I'm constantly looking up stuff I've already learned and it's good to know even the greats need to do the same thing every day. I felt like I should just remember it all but I guess it doesn't matter.

Are programmers' job threatened by stack over flow??? Wow ..WT an answer..I think ..the role of ai is beautifully summed it up..👍

I want to solve my financial state
I guess thats enough motivation

Working through a book and doing the coding exercises is so underrated

If you have zero experience in programing start with python, if someone could make a language fast enough like C++ with the python syntax that would be the best language ever, you can read a python code in seconds you would know what they are doing when you go to java script it is a nightmare.

yup expertise comes from experience, having seen the problems and learning how to solve them.

Ah hah! There he is.

Built a news web scraper, while learning python.
This is true.

I don’t speak spanish

Golden advice

"....but the creative work of deciding sort of what you want the code to do is totally yours."

10 years tales to learn python _ another loop in our life 😂😅

🙌🏿im 2 hours into my python journey 🦾

He is right someone who has never code can tell CoPilot or/and chatGPT please create x program for me the AI have the capability but the3 issue is that person does not know the output and computer science behind the scenes.

The Goat Guido, changed my life when i learned Python.

Best explanation I've heard about coding bots and websites, threatening jobs of programmers! In order to find and use code snippets, first you've got to have an understanding of coding/programming to be able to ask the right questions leading you to that code snippet you actually need in the first place, AND, afterwards to be able to adjust or even rewrite that snippet and integrate it into your code so it works and solves your specific problem. Copy-paste "coders/programmers" wont last a day in the industry.

You can learn any coding in day or week but
When it's comes to implementation on creative and expert level it takes practice or skill
Different game altogether

Coders don’t really think of themselves like musicians, but they totally are. Music is a language just the same and you might learn general music in an hour but you will also learn it over a lifetime. It’s relative to both the user and their experience with that language over time.

Learn Python for cybersecurity is my interest and machine learning

Find a problem you want to solve with the technology first

Isn't copilot is like a calculator, excel, different analytics and other tools that exist for mathematicians, statistician, analysts, and even accountants etc?

You have the knowledge, you need the basics, and then you take the basics, and you make something much more complex with it, in a much shorter amount of time.

Same can be said about even a truck.
You can bring all the materials to a building site, by hand, alone, in the dark, and build everything without any machinery.
Or you can use modern tools to make a more precise, more aesthetically beautiful, more environmentally friendly and more specifically suited to the needs of the own's home.

The fact that a machine writes part of the code, is great. Because you still check it, you still approve it. And you can focus on building the more complex stuff, get more into the finer details.

Guys just learn, don’t let AI fool you into thinking you don’t need to learn. Just do it and it’ll pay off in the end😊

of course coders are going to loose their jobs. well a lot of them anyway. AI will only get smarter

How to use GPT3 to program Python for you

I'm a huge fan of autocomplete. We know what we want, what it does, why we're doing it, to have the machine just assist where possible so all we have to do is tweak things a bit, huge time save vs just trying to type everything out like in a console or text editor.

Then along came ChatGPT..

Coding is NOT about copying and pasting. I think that's complete bullshit. And here is my reason and example.
When you go to an interview, you are expected to know what the hell you are doing before THAT company puts you in their team and have you work on production code.
And while you are on that interview and getting white boarded, YOU CAN just walk over to the computer and look up the answer to the interview problem on stack overflow.
You just cant, YOU would be asked to get the hell out and interview would be over before you can blink.
You HAVE TO memorize and most importantly UNDERSTAND the concept of that language. For example, what a function does, and how to write a function,
know what a for loop does and how it functions. Know what arguments are, and how they are used and why. ALL THIS YOU HAVE TO MEMORIZE.
So ALL those people saying, you don't need to memorize, is telling lies and are full of shit. Also GitHUB co-Pilot is actually ripping off code from other peoples work.
IT even made news in 100's of tech blogs and well known tech industry websites. So what Guido Rossum is saying is, he steals code from other people because Co-Pilot
rips code from other peoples code. Its the same got dam thing as asking chatGPT to pull code after you ask it to pull code. It codes on the net, and rips someone else's work.
Co-Pilot has been shown to be exactly like chatGPT doing final exams for a college stupid and the student copies the chatGPT verbatim in order to pass the college exam. WTF.

What can I make with Python tho? I’m having trouble seeing how written code on a screen then translates into real life apps and programs

I learned Python in order to calculate the air speed velocity of an unladen swallow.

Good stuff. Learning by building something you are interested in is the best way to learn programming. It allows you to learn what you need to get the job done without being overwhelmed by all the other technical fluff. Some people get bogged down with thinking you need to learn everything in a book before you are considered good. In my opinion, knowing where to find, read, and use the documentation is 90% of the battle.
For me, I've been programming long enough that I've gotten used to code snippets as boiler plate for faster prototyping then modifying them for what I need. Could I build without them yes, but I would be slower for sure.

I'm in the process of developing an agricultural-based app, for upcoming, current and retired farmers in S.A. I have basic knowledge of HTML, CSS AND Javascript however I'm building myself to go to Python in order to develop it by collaboration.

I'll be back in a few with feedback!
