Coding is an ART not a SCIENCE | Let's Rant!

Programming is like playing music, once you learn the basic of an instrument it is all up to you to what you want to play.

it's funny how, when I was watching Mike's tuts years ago, from his presentation style I got the impression that he's this short-spoken rather cynical guy who, most of the time, looked into presenting things in a reasonably short and condensed way to get the concept across. And here I see him discussing emontionally how programming is both art and science. It could be that life and experience has infused a bit into him.

Keep up the content man, we want to see more of you!

art has scientfic elements as well. the more you do either of these things, the more you see how they inform each other. it's definitely not binary, but it's great to see programming as an art as well. cool vid!

Mike, I feel like you are speaking to my soul! Thank you so much for all of your helpful videos and I can probably listen to you talk all day! Keep up the great work and I would love to hear more of your thoughts on debunking various CS myths.

We are indoctrinated with the wrong definition of Science. We often mix up Science with Technology.

Here for another rant. Actually starting to look forward to them. Much love and respect. See you soon!

I love how your explanations man, you are giving me different awesome perspective in your tutorials and even this particular rant. 👍🏾👍🏾

[muskansah]

I love how motivating and passionate Mike is while explaining about programming as an art and it definitely provides me with a better perspective to code more creatively and try out new things.

HAppy to see thsi channel in recommendation!Thanks YouTube

My comment is that as the world is converging with AI your advice is spot on. Being adaptable and capable of flexing some intuitive engineering floss will set future developers apart from the crowd. New ways of looking at things and the what-ifs help in not compartmentalizing stand-alone OOP.

This was beautiful. Every time I think of coding (code newbie rn) i think of a particular scene from WestWorld . I wish I could remember the episode because it’s really inspired this new journey.

I see it as art as in you are creating something from "nothing" it is sooo rewarding

[shivanidhanak]

Happy to see you again 😊 learnt html and css frm your video on giraffe academy AMD after that I was looking for you in every video .. get lil disappointed when I come through your channel and saw the last video was 2 year ago ..but now you are back 🤩🤗

Next video: Does beginning coding early really impact your career in programming?

Agree 100%. Given that there are so many different ways to write code to achieve the same functionality, it gives a window into the devs mind and you can see the code as an extension of the devs personality and thought process. Sometimes when they're facing a mental block you'll see a more round about way of doing things, but at times when they're more focused code will be succinct and DRY. The problem is with all the importing and exporting of files you don't get a glimpse into the whole 'artwork' unless you laid all of the files out in a particular fashion that traces the developers usage of them with strings linking the different files. That would be dope.

Imagine an art gallery filled with a wall of 2 to do list apps in the same language but different devs, from 3 different languages. Would be a cool homage to your
'does the programming language even matter?' rant. Dude omg please make this happen.

Man, I'm a classical musician learning to code, and what you say is so accurate! I live in Poland and the programming youtubers here make coding sound so complicated and technical... They're like "you gotta be <computer> type of person to be good at it, and it's so wrong, because it makes people like me feel like we are unable to do programming. Meanwhile, e.g. working in symphonic orchestra is actually way less creative, because we dont create music, what we do is just interpreting music that was already written.
So, spread the word, love this channel :)

[lordfoul]

This is so true. I love the way you explain your perspective. It's really engaging and informative.

[sfsdart]

Thanks respected Mike! I am feeling proud as I also feel that programming is a way to show creativity. Maybe because you are my teacher from very begging when I was struggling between python and Java.
I am very grateful to you for being my teacher! Your style of teaching is so good that it also provides a roadmap for teaching other people!

Merging creativity and logic can yield extraordinary manifestations

Mike did informed us in his last video that he is doing well and what he is going to do ahead and what the future of this channel is, he asked any of us to continue the legacy of open, simple, quality education. And I watched that last video a few days back, but now even that specific video is taken down.
