Learn to program from first principles.
- Jensson 4y agoYeah, it is likely that AI can learn to glue code from stack overflow pretty soon. Harder programming that requires you to do a bit of thinking seems more future proof, these models aren't good at thinking at all instead they just pattern match and glue in previous solutions.
- tekknik 4y agoWe’re just the next new model away. AI researches seem apt on burning the world down to see what comes out of it, so this absolutely is the goal.

- tsingy 4y agoHow do you learn to program form first principles?
- hsn915 4y agoIn my humble opinion, Mike Acton's talks are the best introduction, although he doesn't use the term "first principles", and they seem - at the surface - to be about game engines, but they are generalizable to everything.
