I wish they would make another series like “ think like a detective “ or “ think like a logician” in the future !!

[jenson]

It's craazy how much effort Ted-Ed puts into their videos

[firenzarfrenzy]

It really made me think “Why does hedge conveniently have slots to house the 3 artefacts”
Today, that made sense.

[kalpanaagrahari]

Hedge code be like: "
Roses are red,
violets are blue,
Missing 'if' statement at line 32"

I can see now why she was named Ethic, this series teaches you how to code and also the ethical responsibilities that fall on you with the power of code. A single error has the power to destroy humanity, how AI must be used, how can your code be later exploited etc.

And also, Hedge, for, the hedge maze...!

Plot twist: all the “bad” robots were actually trying to stop hedge from making the maze

[thuse]

the way narrator said "a VERY. DIFFERENT. STORY." It sounded so ominous...

[thecatman]

WHY IS NO ONE TALKING ABOUT THE BACKSTORY MUSIC

[TEDEd]

Wow, that was… a lot to process! That’s all we’re going to say in case anyone's reading this before watching the end of the episode (and if you could all help us avoid spoilers in the comments, that would be awesome).

Who else has just been WAITING for new episodes of Think Like a Coder?

Final episode: Ethic must implement quicksort in order to save the world.

[infiresd]

and to think all of this happened because one person messed up a line of code

[Maryam-tdrj]

My jaw literally dropped after seeing the thumbnail on my feed! I'm obsessed with this series; it's what sparked my interest into learning about coding!!

Edit: My jaw also dropped after seeing the ending :O

[n.v.n.prasad]

Wowee what an animation! I always wondered: y they always take months to upload a new episode, and now I know! I appreciate your hard work!


And I cant wait for the grand finale!

[jdb]

This has become more than just a coding tutorial

[adamfermor]

You can't just leave us on a massive cliff hanger like that 🤣

[bastict]

I just realized his name his Hedge, as in “hedge maze”.

[krishnachaitanya]

Ethic was such an excellent programmer and she actually forgot to add a line to terminate a loop
😂😂

[bluescreening]

I'm literally just watching for the story, I already know how to code but I'm so invested

[jenniferlam]

That was actually a really well-done plot twist. I didn't see it coming, and I didn't feel cheated or like the plot twist was pointless. Best episode of the series thus far.
