I'm seriously considering sending this to my parents (who couldn't care less about coding) because he explains computer concepts so well!

Well, not everyone is meant to be a teacher, and some people are just born for it.

@@kynn23 did u tell em about the money

@@Kathan_ Money?

i just started learning coding and this guy managed to teach me more than hour long videos i've watched

I always wondered that too

Wired do doubt has a thorough vetting process that interviews a lot of candidates for these videos. The series is popular enough that I imagine their journalists get solicited by professionals who think they are a good fit too.

tbf, he IS a teacher haha.

@@hoofhearted4 you know very well not all teachers are like this guy

@@andreicmello but that's not at all what I said or implied lol

because he's a fed bro

Lecturers are notoriously bad at teaching. They're always researchers first and foremost.

I have a friend like this. I also have a crush on him 🥹

Do you still have his number? I pay good.

i was also a student and TA for Chris at Stanford

@@westernpigeon Does he smell good?

What is happening in this thread.

@@kindlin obviously somebody wants the professors number.

@@joost00719 is it supposed to be a joke? Then ha-ha

Yes please

I would probably go to Stanford just for this guy

literally said he has a free course go follow it!

@@Dhruvjindal747 well u cant get in tho

It's his job tbf

@Jay So plenty of people don't like their jobs

@@InfaziationleBron James is the king

Well, if students were as enthusiastic about learning same way teachers are about their subject matter, things would be much greater

@@Belioyt students arent enthusiastic most of the time because they aren't interested in the subject they're being taught. what a shocker - jimmy doesn't care about math but he loves programming, but he has to spend just as much time in a class for math as he does programming

Pay for Stanford degrees and you'll get em.

Most do, at least that was my experience for CS at my college.

No.

Hi Allen

how lucky you are!

funny seeing you here

Link please?

I like him so much I want to take his class just to have him as a teacher

Did you actually do it though? No? Thought so.

@@B3Band you get paid nothing to be a dickhead

I do it using an app and Khan academy. I don't know nor think it's useful (I don't think bc I don't know) but it's really fun. The app I'm using is MIMO. Maybe you can check it out (or other sources) to see if it's something you'll like.

​@@B3Band??

​@@B3Bandstfu hater

lol wtf

Yeah agree, im just like We're here to learn

came here to say this exact same thing except for the six years part bc i just graduated. wish my professors were at least a bit like this guy

Considering the cost and competition to attend Stanford, there’s a premium for these types of instructors.

Most professors are at universities for their research. Teaching is a chore for many of them. Any time you have a professor who doesn't seem to care or expects way too much, it's typically someone trying to meet their teaching quota.

The best schools have the best teachers.

I was thinking the same thing, I bet he's great to do a lab with

I think all great teachers have that innate enthusiasm to inspire. Great to see that here.

I'm learning python right now and I wish I had access to a mentor this upbeat and enthusiastic. Its quite inspiring, really.

@@joeyr7294 a lab? He’s a computer scientist

@@kunaldahiya310 like a AI Learning Lab. 😂 it's kind of like a class 2 to 4 hours long. Students/teachers participate in them to brush up on subjects they already know or on new concepts to the subject. Students I imagine participate to see if they might want to pursue the subject later on. Glad to see you noticed he is a, "computer scientist."👌👍🍻

I bet this guy can make you fall in love with coding

@@nileshghadge5016 I think he could

Same

That's one of the qualities of a great teacher to be honest!

😆

Me too!!! Same just seeing them doing it, not teaching it.

Amazing! Thank you!

4 Four, Frontend 5 is and S, Server That's how I remember

Yes, although you can't necessarily trust the backend to tell you correctly whether it has a problem or not. So anything 4xx means the backend says there's a problem with the the request that was sent to it - but just like any other system or human there's a chance it's wrong. 5xx means not just that the backend is broken, but that the backend is prepared to *admit* to being broken. That really can't be wrong, since claiming to broken when it's not broken would itself be a form of brokennes.

So many mechanics jokes 🤣🤣🤣

When I started out, it was already the early 2000s. I didn't have to read anything up in books but I am well familiar with going on page 16 of the Google search results. Instead of the StackOverflow being the dominant online forum, we had many different ones. My favorite answer to a problem, I've been looking up for 2 hours? "Is Google broken?"

I learned Fortran using punch cards, then PDP-11 assembler. And I definitely use Stack Overflow. Why bang your head against the wall on some obscure problem when you can often find someone who has already solved it with a 10 second search?

ah, the petty one-upmanship of programmers. never change

ITS A SERIES OF TUBES!

What most people think of as "the Internet" is actually just "the web" ... a group of applications & services that use the actual Internet. The true Internet is a network of communication lines between computers, a language they use (called TCP/IP), and some rules for how they communicate. It's all structured a little bit like the telephone network, where all the telephones can call each other and make connections. Once a connection is established, information can pass between the two points. (In fact, some of the first computer networks actually used the telephone lines.) Once a couple of computers have established a connection over the Internet, they can exchange pieces of information, data, back and forth. Your mobile phone is actually a computer, so let's use that as an example. If you run an app on your phone, that app may need to talk to another computer to get some information. Let's say you are using Google Maps. Your mobile phone app will "call up" the Google Maps computer on the other side, using the Internet communication network. Once the connection is made, your app might say "Hey, I need directions to XYZ". What's really happening in the background is that your app took your human request, turned it into ones and zeros, and sent those digits to the computer on the other side of the communication connection, the Google Maps server. That server uses that request to understand how to reply. Then it sends its reply, as ones and zeros, to your mobile app. Your mobile app then turns those ones and zeros into a format that you, the user, can understand. The same thing happens when you use your web browser, play a person-to-person game over the network, send an email, or anything else you do "online". Just remember: Internet = communication network; Web = something useful that communicates _over_ the Internet.

Crash Course has a Computer Science series explaining how internet works in short and animated videos

@@KimberlyGreen If you're going to mention TCP/IP you also godda mention UDP.

@@Zedament Didn't want to add to the confusion so I kept it very basic. No mention of network layers, other kinds of protocols, hardware, etc. The average non-IT civilian isn't going to care at that level.

Wait. There are error codes for success? "Error 201: you succeeded too hard. Be humbler."

@@avantesma1 those are not really error codes, just codes. They tell you that everything went well, normally it says "200 OK". The real error codes are 4xx and 5xx

@@tcg1_qc Ah, I see. Thx. =)

@@avantesma1 they are rather response codes

@@avantesma1 They aren't error codes at all. They're status codes

almost? Write one piece of code.....

Lol

You should start! I find it pretty fun, you might too! P.S. correct your error in enthusiasm before the trolls come.

What would it take to push you that last inch?

Pick up Visual Studio Code and some tutorial videos! Try it out with some simple scripts (good one to start with is the Python language).

It's both easy and hard. In college you have to a lot of mathematics classes including calculus and learn the history of computers and learn all about computers and programming at the lowest levels as well as networks and a lot things I can't remember after all these years. Then you'll have to spend a couple more years learning your specific area of study, for me it was data analysis. That's on top of learning the gen ed/soft skill classes. On the other hand there are a ton of free courses and websites and tools to learn everything on your own, many even offer certifications. Many universities like Harvard and MIT put their classes up for anyone to see amd you can always go to your local university and sit in on any class. You can learn to code by just lessons online and it's not too difficult if you dedicate yourself for a year or two but to be good you want to learn everything related. The only thing you can't get for free is the piece of paper showing your degree and that's not actually as important as your skill in this field.

Id argue coding is the easy part, the rest is the hard part

for the support series of interviews they always seem to find people who aren't just knowledgeable but more so people who are good teachers with great personalities. great communicators(unlike me). they kind of remind me of Bill Nye or Neil deGrasse Tyson they aren't the smartest scientists on The Cutting Edge of research but they are great at communicating it to the Layman

Yikes. This guy got a lot of softball questions and a few hard ones too. And his answers were absolutely idyllic for the audience. It was great.

honestly im thinking of coding purely because it means i can make my own game only thing is that im burnt out and dont have hte motivation to start learning lol

Did he interview you lol😂

Please give us the story 🤣

But why?

Omg why

Actually most of the coders and engineers I have worked with use A LOT of pen and paper. It often helps organizing ideas, or drawing a diagram or the outline of the architecture of what you're building. Doesn't seem logical for this to be true, but it kinda is xD

Yeah most of my CS classes had either a blackboard or a whiteboard, and the ones that used a projector mostly just did it once in a while

@@victormanjarinsala2253 yeah, nothing beats pen and paper to visualize stuff. other than a drawing tablet, but nobody will buy one just for that

@@radeklew1 my CS classes all use a projector to show code or a presentation, but the teachers pretty much always write stuff on the board when explaining something

Would it be weird if a pilot drove a car?

How are you doing now? Where are you working?

​@@nands4410 thanks for asking! i'm navigating the complexities of life, as we all are ^^ i'm not in cs, but i use programming to design new media experiences. chris' (and mehran's) intro class was so well taught and organized, and their passion and energy for cs is very hope-inspiring. i know i was definitely inspired and gained confidence through their teaching!

You don't need much math to code but if you want a degree in IT you need a lot of math

Thanks for the insights!

Thanks for sharing. I'm starting to think there is hope for me yet, despite my struggles with Python.

As a Data Scientist, I need a lot of math and probability

That's very insightful, thank you, interesting story

Probably because teachers are not compensated nearly enough! Plus they have a whole bunch of other responsibilities

I am a teacher. Here is why. Teaching takes energy, and sometimes we have to put that energy into other important parts of the teaching process. Presenting with energy? That’s just one part of the process. What they have here is a guy who was already prepared, and had very good energy and delivery. Sometimes, actually often - teachers can’t do all of this all at once.

If you go to Stanford you can at least have this guy 🤷‍♂️

This also plays a little bit into the “hacking” portion because I think many of the people who want to get into hacking, are people who are interested in finding ways to break programs or make them behave in a way they aren’t supposed to. This kind of skill also translates really well into software testing

Well, there is a bit of a difference between QA and UX, though they often overlap

Thanks for watching Search and join my Telegram for the right investment💯💯💯

Well it’s not only in efficiency, for example, mathematical vectors are used in graphics, triangulation, and a couple other areas, but I would say if you have a hard time learning those then you’ll have a hard time reaching those levels, but rly anyone can learn mostly anything given time, dedication and perseverance.

to be honest it’s more so related to what domain you’re in. some domains require a lot of math others don’t. if you’re an ML researcher Id expect the person to know some level of math
