Wow, that felt so relaxing and nice to read.

thanks for sharing it

Thank you. (And Bjarne)

Just went through my heart!

yeah too much abstraction these days, so many layers over layers.

maybe ask advice from anders hejlsberg 😅

Don't be fooled by nostalgia; what you're seeing is the tip of the iceberg. The monumental works from the 70s-90s are the outliers that have stood the test of time, but let's not forget the sea of forgotten projects that sank without a trace.

@@SO-dl2pv To a degree. You could write the best tool for a task, and it just doesn't matter how good it is. There already exist 20 tools for this same task. Two or three of them are by corporations that spend more than the combined value of your organs per second on marketing. You can create "humanity changing software" only when the task itself is new, what Stroustrup calls an opportunity. AI is that nowadays. But in the 70s, _nearly everything_ was a new task, and the rising personal computer allowed amateurs, or at least not scientists and highly specialized engineers to approach them. What else to call it but a golden age?

💀

YES

Good advice. I am following it rn

It is something you will learn sooner or later

And made it look easy too (ie, to give advice not necessarily to follow). I would add discover/recognize your interests/passion and values. I wasn’t good enough to turn-down clients, but did well enough to donate my time/skills to worthy non-profits (environmental advocacy groups in my case).

Not really. He basically said don't waste your life specializing in something, but what if that something is your passion?

@@ViceZone Do you want a narrow foundation or a broad foundation? That's up to you. Also after ten years of just narrowly following your passion you might burn out. I think there can be a middle road between strictly specializing and knowing everything just a bit.

How’s his d taste bro

I mean he said 'overspecialize' specifically. And I think even if you are doing some niche thing, I would argue that occasionally branching out and looking at other stuff is probably a good thing, right?

Except even his experience with C++ only goes back to the mid '80s, so he would be a marginal candidate.

A very valid point. All recruiters seek a truckload of years experience with such and such, however how does one get a foot in the door right after an apprenticeship for example? Right place right time is what my story is, wound up being an electrical inspector after failing my first electrical apprenticeship and trying again a second time some years later!

💯

I’ve been focusing more on coding as I procrastinate too much. I just have find time management. Set fun stuffs aside till I finish hw. Then mingle with friends.

yeah, or just try climbing the ladder fast as possible to be the one organizing, communicating and taking responibilties, be an important person not some replacable 2nd to nobody roboting like a BETA cuck. Programming is a good way to start somewhere but hell no would i stay there coding for decades dying as a nobody who s been rotting behind a display its whole life

cliche but true: stop while you're ahead.

Don't forget to learn about non-programming things like history, language, science and so on.

TAMU?

Learning from the inventor. I think it's the most beautiful experience

Damn....which university though?

Ppl asking which University... Please stop and think if someone else asked you this question would you have respect for your own and many other people's privacy?

Naa. you got the wrong advice. If you are passionate about your life and your work, you can't separate them. They will become more or less one. This is a much better way to live one's life. These are the words of Steve Jobs!!!

@@abbasshah8999 I think both are right. You don't need to separate work from life, the idea is to have a job that fulfills you, something you do for passion and the money is secondary, but that's not the same as letting work become All of your life

@@abbasshah8999 Jobs was a very bad leader to Apple's employees and as a person, also not the best. Wouldn't take him as example outside of the business area to be honest. And this teacher is right, work servers the only purpose of paying for your life(style). Life is not the daily 9-5 timeframe in which you are obliged to perform something in exchange for money, that is not life. That is part of life but not the meaning, not the purpose. Life is family, friends, hobbies (for which you are NOT paid for), music, art, culture, travelling, experiences.

Balance is the key

​@@abbasshah8999все правильно, жизнь это и есть наша работа, и нужно постараться сделать и жизнь и работу приятной, интересной, чтобы доставляла радость и был в ней смысл.

Dominance brings money

I'll have to remember this through my next 5 years of computer engineering graduation

I think he got his point across just fine, but thanks.

That's a myth - math > meth.

What a surprise another boomer who worked for 1000/hr in todays money 50 years ago thinks we need to take money and careers less seriously. What a fucking joke.

YES

why are you waiting for his approval 😮

True. I thought I hated programming, but I just hated the idea of "specializing" myself into web development because that's what's paying where I am. Now I'm just embracing the stuff I find fun, and learning so much more about how computers operate because of it.

^^100

false. you'll be jobless if you don't consider what the industry needs. for some people it's okay but for most we need fucking money

@@zekicaneksi Which industry? Programming is not an industry in the slightest. Yea, learning assembly for web dev is retarded, but for something else, it might not be.

Your comment just goes against his ideology

Of course, He is the creator of c++ , combining C language and smalltalk and c++ born. Not only he is a genius in computer but He jus experienced many ways outside conputer than most people dont

​@@teknosql4740 The smart things is that this advice has nothing to do with programming in C++ per se.

Do tasks outside of work especially ones involving interacting with different people that you know and don't know

Well he is from Scandinavia, a lot of them speak that way.

It shouldnt be that hard to tame it right? I thought it was super loud in this video... Just add a de esser in the whistling range, which is much lower hz than the S range

@@LWmusik agreed. A little experience is required to dial in the settings usually 😜

@@MalamIbnMalam No, that entirely depends on where they're from. But he's from Århus, so he has that local dialect plus also being a very strong pronouncer of the "s", even compared to his colleagues :D

This is especially true nowadays when the hard work has been done in the previous decades. Now the industry attracts more and more parasites. Eventually when the parasites overthrow the organism (the people who do the actual work), the organisation collapses.

Especially for women.

That's called nepotism.

I don’t think that’s his message. You shouldn’t socialize with the motive that those people could come in handy later for your career. He is trying to say the opposite that job is important and all but even more important is to have a balanced life with friends and family and things you love to do besides working in front of a screen

​@@NinjaRunningWildAgreed, have seen it happen many times in the IT field, can't stand their polished giggles when climbing the pay grade ladder.

I am burned out from chemical engineering studies so burned out I don't even know what I want to do at this point

@@lunaticbseker I know *exactly* what you're going through. I fought that feeling for four years. The best thing you can do is exercise self compassion and don't beat yourself up- it only makes the process take longer.

@@CobusGreyling been going through this close to 3 years now. Thanks for the advice ,I think self compassion is what I am lacking

@@lunaticbseker All the best for you to find self-compassion! To get it you (simply) need to realize that you are a valuable human being and not a machine. Just talk to yourself sometimes and give yourself compliments for even small progress. It helps. Cheers!

Thank you 😊

Then you meet that Chad who is a 10x, nice, highly sociable yet still chill, empathetic and jacked af.

​@@puopgNobody's got it all, you never know what he's hiding. Besides, life's a slippery slope. Can you say for certain he'll remain exactly like that in a year? How about 10?

@@hashtags_YT Exactly. Its the rise and fall that is hard. Everybody that reaches heights has to come down eventually and thats not a pleasant experience while "mediocre" people, I use that word in least negative way, dont experience highs but also dont experience lows. It really is one of worst feelings in life to have something then lose it. Just look at any athlete or actor that had the highest of highs and now are older they all seem in sort of depression of sorts.

Yep, you gotta choose your sacrifices. But I wouldn’t put that much pressure on anyone. I think it’s best to live without such internal turmoil. Life is to be experienced, and in the end I tend to believe that it doesn’t matter what you have achieved in your work or social life. Just be, help out others when you can

C++ is really quite neat and powerful in my opinion. The things people perceive as complications are often either to be efficient on the architecture or really powerful constructs that just seem exotic to the unaccustomed. The ever increasing compiler capabilities make some of these things less relevant today, but C++ is still one of the most powerful languages for high performance

@@mircopaul5259 yeaaa ... this whole c++ is dark magic stuff is bloated because of the memes. If you actually learn C++ and do stuff with it ... its not that bad to understand ... and can be quite cool with its more hardware orientated programming style
