No one can deny that the most important CS concept in this video is 101st computer science concept. You just simply cannot let grandma down

[dorobokino]

As someone who just graduated with a CS degree, I can confidently say that you successfully condensed 4 years of my life into 13 minutes. Well done!

[sirajahmed]

I can imagine how overwhelming this video would've been for me if I watched it when I was a beginner, but this works very well for people who already have some experience in programming by summarizing and also including some concepts you may not have been aware of, but could understand easily if you spent some time learning about them.

I could litterly see my 4 years computer science related subjects one by one, this is so amazing. Because even after knowing the subject or topic, it was very difficult for me to combine all of these and make some sense out of it. This connected dots so well for me, now I finally understood the digital, to computer organisation, data structures, class, algo, OS, Memory, Network subjects, that how all these get connected and work simultaneously. I wish I could have watched this earlier. This is by far the best video I have watched in my whole journey 🎉.

It's fun how learning is more of a speedrun these days which acts as a very good starter, motivating us to learn the remaining stuff by ourselves and now we have something of a map which we can follow instead of blindly jumping into stuff.

[jeskah]

This is amazingly put, I’m starting a Computer Science degree in October and this just explained one of my 600+ page course books in 13 minutes 😭🙌🏼

[AdrianGarcia-vptq]

Thank you very much jeff, I have been a landscaper for the last ten years, for 6 months I watch at least one of your videos a day, thanks to you tomorrow I have my first interview as a software engineer

[germancocca]

It's mind-blowing how you're able to explain so much in a single video, while being completely accurate, easy to understand and also funny. I think you're one of the best content creators on Youtube and this might be one of the best tech videos I've ever seen. Go Fireship!!

[wlockuz]

From "In 100 seconds" to "100 concepts". Anime tier character development right here.

[arskas]

Dude that was awesome. The way you connected all the terms...Every CS student should make a chart out of this video in my opinion. Thank you

[Iron]

You summed me up my entire CS career. I brought me memories! Nowadays you used to forget most of thst stuff, it hapoens the more you keep working

[relaxxbizz]

thanks, legendary content. really appreciate the work you put into it

[imperialspence]

Im wrapping up my second semester as a CSE major and I was pleasantly surprised to see that I've already learned a huge chunk of these concepts. I really love this field so far and I can't wait to learn more!

[safalyarc]

probably the best video about cs ive watched in months and that too wrapped in 13 mins, this aint no joke!

[francescagreetham]

Currently teaching myself to code and this was so helpful for solidifying ideas and concepts. Thank you

[MrGuyronen]

You’re just an absolute legend. I can’t even express the amount of help you provide people around the world with these videos. Truly one of a kind ❤️

[aethermass]

I have a master’s degree in CS. This is surprisingly accurate and entertaining. The part about hashes could have been fleshed out a bit more. Aside from that, great!! Also, completely true about printers.

[oodee]

Videos like this make learning a fun experience, great video!

[r_y_]

Man in 5 year of CS classes i never understood dynamic programming and you just explained it to me in literally 5 seconds
