Программирование

Однажды ступив на шаткую дорожку print('Hello, world!'), обратного пути уже нет.

О мотивациях: зачем?

• 10,000 часов
• “здорово, если вы не программист”
• поиск конкретных задач
• learning curves

Специально об экономистах

Economists: "We need to retrain workers so they can adapt to a dynamic economy."

Also economists: "I refuse to learn R."

Рекомендации по R

I used R for many years but whenever I hear about it now it feels like I watched R season one and now it is on a spin-off based on the characters of season 13.

Самим программистам тоже нелегко

Обучение даже в самой компьютерной сфере - очень инерционно. Сложно ожидать, что обучение экономистов в компьютерной сфере будет улучшаться быстрее.

I've interviewed and talked to many dozens of Indian graduates. They're all still being taught in C++ in 2019. So sad!

During both my CS undergrad and master's at Stanford, nobody -- not a professor, not a TA -- told me about unit tests. I learned about it from someone who went to a school whose name I had never heard of.

Apparently, you don’t need to know about testing to get fancy internships. pic.twitter.com/yAiSBYAYf8

Why doesn't CS programs cover technical writing? Technical writing is one of the most useful skills in software engineering if not the most.

It's mostly left to luck how devs learn, still
