"i just keep writing pseudocode and it just works" - python developer

‘Gets a ruler to find whitespace misalignment’ - 🤣, just perfect

Compiled languages detect errors before running the code, they are holding you back x) Pure GOLD !

'The documentation is just one page!'- proceeds to scroll through the longest webpage on the internet LMAO

"Geared towards children, and PhDs"😂

As a python data science guy, i thought i was ready for this but i wasn't. It's all fun in games until it happens to you :)

"Bad Performance? In Python, we just buy a bigger machine."

"In Python we don't do constants; we only do change!" followed right up by "Who put the main function at the bottom of the file?" was absolute GOLD. Caught me off guard with how funny that was.

Geared towards children and phds is actually an amazing selling point.

The stammering between, do you want to read a medium article to writing one was so killer lmao. Also "I've never written code before. Why am I so good at this?!" Holy shit I'm gone 😂

The scrolling through documentation at 3:20 absolutely killed me.

OMG measuring the whitespaces with a ruler killed me 😂😂

As someone who had to self-teach a lot of Python for scientific research over the last few years, this video just reached through the internet and sucker-punched my sense of relatability. Well done.

"C is only faster in execution." This is the way

I'm a PhD working on learning python for all these reasons. Every time I come back to this video I feel more and more called out, it's a work of art.

"and i'm not a child, i'm a PHD" "Oh, the shirt goes into the jeans?" LOL

I went straight from Child to Senior Machine Learning Engineer thanks to Python!

"How many libraries does it take until I can actually put Python as my status on LinkedIn? Like, three? Numpy, Matplotlib, and Pandas. Or maybe two, because we start counting at zero." This is sooooooooo good! and so true.

just finished a phd in pure mathematics and this video accurately represents me now trying to get jobs in machine learning while talking up my nonexistent programming skills in the CV.

"huge community of children" Can't get any better😭😭😭

"It's not LaTeX, sadly. " As a Physics PhD candidate who does much of his data analysis in Python, this entire video hits too close to home. Also an avid LaTeX user, to the point that I even do my presentations in LaTeX beamer.

We also gotta make sure we're talking about python 3.10 and not python 3.5 or 3.3

We need some functional programming hippie/professor

Once you are done with the languages can you do a series on different approaches like Agile ? I'd love an interview with a senior scrum master

1:54 -1:59 is my third favorite quote from these videos. right after "runtime error detection is programmers responsibility" and "we've rewrote our codebase 9 times.. this month"

" Oh Udemy? no no I learnt all of this in Medium " 😂

"Why am I so good at this? I don't even know how to code!"

The most amazing one went unnoticed: You can return multiple values, multiple values, multiple values.

Okay, so the thing with the ruler? Well, here is a true story from ancient days. Once upon a time, there was an American business computing company called Wang. Wang built one of the first widely-used "Word processing systems" -- basically, a PC that could only do word processing. The text was rendered in monospaced font on monochrome screens at not-quite-true scale. To assist users in estimating the size that text would occupy when rendered on paper, the Wang system came with a special ruler that was re-scaled, so that the interval marked as an inch on the ruler, when measured on the screen, corresponded to a printed inch of paper. In other words this special rescaled ruler was marked in inches that were somewhat smaller than a true inch -- if, for example, you used it to measure something other than text on your display, say, for example, something 5 inches long, it would indicate that the object was, oh I don't know maybe 6 inches long? And this special ruler that made everything you measured appear to be larger than it actually was, was called, in all of the accompanying documentation for the system, and I am not making this up: The Wang Ruler. Yes. True story. Ah, the good old days.

Placing a ruler against the screen to find the whitespace error really got me. I nearly fell outa my chair laughing.

These definitely work better without background music. Keep 'em coming 💪!

As a Data Engineer using Python a lot: THIS IS SO GOOD! "This is the memory allocation in C and this in Python.... My screen is not big enough"..."Lists are arrays, tuples are arrays...". Thanks for making my day!

He has a cheap bic pen. He's in too deep into the character. Give this man an oscar or something.

"geared towards children and PhDs" - fantastic line I missed first time I watched, fantastic one and true.

"Udemy? I learned it all on medium" So true

Junior Python dev still sounds way more confident than junior JavaScript dev

"postdocs and kids" Sounds about right

"all the compiled errors are worse, because you get errors before you can even run them, it's really holding you back from inovation" I laughted so hard :DD

As a PhD and machine learning engineer, its absolutely true.

These are just so good. As a mechanical engineer who learned mandatory level of C++ and then wanted to extend a bit by learning some python, then rust (next ocaml) and being exposed to people who write javascript and others, as someone who decided to give arch linux and nvim a go, these hit home so accurately on the experiences, struggles and personalities. When you learn a new language, at the same time you learn all the things that are wrong in your previous and next language simultaneously.

Sounds like my conversation with some scientists whose work I needed to bring up to production standards.

As a Math major, this is the first of your videos that really hit home for me!

"Zip, enumerate zip" I feel called out

You are brilliant. Was so looking forward to this. Loved every minute!!

he measured his screen with a ruler lol

This hit home in so many ways. This was just incredible

Forgot to mention jupyter notebooks. and running them again. in the correct order lol.

"Compile-time errors get in the way of innovation" Love it!!!!

Saw it 5 times. Absolutely classic. As a kid can just show it to my imaginary employers.

"Strongly, dynamically typed" PURE COMEDY GOLD!!!

I'm waiting for the rust one; I already have everything he's going to say in my mind lmao 😅

that's a beautiful graph in the end, we can truly see you are a data scientist

From the bottom of my heart, thank you!

This is the most accurate and funny stuff I've seen about programmers lol good job!

“There’s no more semicolon errors, only white space errors. *Grabs Ruler* Where is that error?” So good

As an academic hack myself, this is so awesome. Scikit, Matplotlib,numpy,....where is that error? Thanks man - total genius!

“Why am I so good at this? I’ve never written code before” I howled 😂

The documentation joke cracked me up!

I’ve never felt more at home in my life

Thank you, I waited for this. Great video as always :)

I was dead when he started explaining everything was an array it’s so true. And I almost died when he asked who decided to have the main function at the bottom.

Python is a great language! I never learn it though, just Google it whenever I come to use it 🤣 Great video!

"It's literally only the execution that's fast" I'm dying

The medium joke was a good one. As someone who studied ml in grad school this all hits too close to home

I have never felt so exposed. Man really saw right through the ML/CV/NLP facade.

Looking forward to the Rust video

As a Python coder who often has to fix Data Scientists "code" this was amazing

“Why am I so good at this? I’ve never written code before.” I fuckin lost it lmao

Swear to God, I learned Python from Medium blogs and a little bit of KZfaq 😅

Holy shit, very recognizable. Maybe you can do a video on some stereotypical "ancient dev". You know, the ones that still maintain COBOL/FORTRAN on some mainframe for big banks. some ideas: Mission critical/punch cards/ "mystery server" sysadmin/ using teletype, "REWIND" in Fortran.

"Geared towards children and PhDs" in the same phrase is truly hilarious lol

“Why am I so good at this? I’ve never written code before” Kills me every time 😂😂😂

As a strongly-typed language aficionado, this one really had me going! Hopefully I got the whitespace correct in this comment such that you can parse it;

I was spilling my automated-made coffee for this. GG man, yet another masterpiece of yours

When you started listing data science buzzwords for the second time I lost it

Just binge watched every video of yours and you are frankly just quite wonderful.

"only whitespace errors" lmaooo

I wish c# frameworks were as popular with the kids as pythons and JavaScripts.

I'm learning python just watching these videos 😂🙌🇧🇷

This is actually brilliant, both from the PhD and the Python points of view. Legend ...

lol, this man turned my entire experience with python into a meme

"It's not dynamically typed. It's *strongly* dynamically typed."

These videos are amazing, keep them coming

"HUGE community, of kids" Had me rolling on the floor man LOL!!

🤣 Measuring the Whitespaces, was Genious!!! LOL

my screen is not big enough... resonates for the argument and every child... I mean PhD ever

I'm a professional developer working on my PhD and this video freaking nails it

We want interviews of Android developer, ios developer, Game developers. Love the content

As much as python is hated. It is such a beautiful and readable language for simple applications and prototyping. I really like to brainstorm in python before implementing an optimized C version if needed.

I was laughing until he personally attacked me with "I learned all of this on Medium".

I've definitely encountered this guy before. Luckily, pretty much all my experience with Python has been server code; no weird data science libraries built for people who don't know how to code.

I'm a first-year bioinformatics student with an undergraduate degree in biology, and this interview really could have been me. I feel called out.

Simply ready for the episode about compiled Python. I’m talking about Go. It’s simple. You’ll see.

Just found this. SUBSCRIBED!

As usual, thank you so much for making me laugh so damn loud It's always so accurate and funny it's unbelievable, you're really talented and good at this

He does it again! Keep 'em coming lol Not sure what other languages you can do though, feel like you've done most of them.

As someone approaching PhD graduation and proud to be adept in Python and ML, I felt personally attacked by this :)

Unironically he does have a point when saying that what matters is how much time you need to code, not how much time you need to run the code. Python lowers the bar so much to start doing something, and leveraging the powers of the libraries (written in C, let's be serious), one can start, projects, test things out, create applications.

Huge fan ❤️😂, love your jokes

This has to be your best video ever. I would find it absolutely hilarious if it weren't also scarily accurate.
