Yeah, I'm not denigrating the video itself, just the title used here on HN (which does not appear on the youtube page).

- gvb 17y agoUnderstood. My comment was an insight that occurred to me as a result of your comment. The insight is that programming "work" is very much like physics "work" work = effort * distance In physics, if you don't move something, you have done no work (even though you are sweating and out of breath). In programming, if all you do is write boilerplate stuff, you have not done any work because you have not advanced toward your goal.
