It isn't 'guillotine day', it is 'storming of the Bastille# day. That infamous day when one political dissident was freed, along with 30 thieves, murderers and rapists.

His amusing style soon turned to boring. I couldn't stand it until the end.
As far as I'd gotten, however, I observed that he's speaking as though we all learned in "programming school" - which an awful lot of us didn't. I was almost going to add that "the best of us didn't go to programming school", but it's subjective and I don't have any proof, anyway.
For some, you just know how to program - this flow he spoke about - it's intuitively obvious. That doesn't mean one doesn't get better at it, for intuition doesn't guarantee correctness, but the logic of building a program just makes sense. Experience is a good teacher both in technique and building one's toolbox.
Coding is all very personal, or, indeed, his claim that we're imitating others would actually be true. Perhaps, for most, it is (and they'll be replaced by code generators). It's a fingerprint. Most importantly of all, it reflects the individual imagination.
For those of you who are good at doing math (arithmetic) in their heads, by now you've realized that what they taught you isn't how you do it in your head. You have your own rules, like adding left-to-right instead of right-to-left; Reorganizations of information to more but simpler operations; whatever organization your head prefers.
Learning how to code? To be really any good, you were born knowing - you just needed some practice.

That seems so true, whether you're a musician or astrophysicist. Still though, for the rest of us, some objective guidelines are good to have, and I think he touches on some good points, though yeah, it was a bit of a slog to get through to the end.

Valuable. While the somewhat hyper style of the presenter kind of "wore on me" as the video went on, I enjoyed it, and I appreciated the extent to which he linked his self-awareness of his own character traits to how those traits were, or were not, contributing to his productivity in a team context.
Thanks, Bill

Died (supposedly from cancer) in a Chinese prison.Quote: "The greatness of non-violent resistance is that even as man is faced with forceful tyranny and the resulting suffering, the victim responds to hate with love, to prejudice with tolerance, to arrogance with humility, to humiliation with dignity, and to violence with reason." Liu's words quoted at the award ceremony for the Nobel Prize: Liu was not permitted to attend. [^]

But they still end up dead victims.
My dad once told me that "The world is a sh|t sandwich, and every day you gotta take a bite." Despite your desire to love, tolerate, show humility or try to be reasonable, the plain fact is that a lot of people in this world simply don't give a damn. No amount of platitudes is gonna change their minds. That's why you have to f*ckin grow a pair, and be ready to and defend what's right, and visit violence on those who would disturb the world's calm. Hiding behind rainbows, flowers, and bibles NEVER works.
The answer to the question, "Can't we all just get along?" - "No".

I wonder if one way to put the fire out is to recognize that when you are burning, I am burning, and the world is burning.

Sometimes I sense a strange ... yet, paradoxically familiar ... resonance between the psychic posture of "dog eat dog" and the saint's embodiment of the optimistic assertion that there are "better angels" in our nature.
It's a feeling that these antipodal extremes are somehow whispering to each other across impermeable ontological boundaries ... that I can almost hear ... that.
But, I so often mistake my confusion for insight
cheers, Bill
