I love how when Kevin gets kind of familiar with programming he instantly develops common bad programming habits, “I refuse to rewrite my code, it will simply work around it”

0:47 "I'm failing already."

Congratulations, that is the first step to programming. 🎉

Kevin's looking real hashable and immutable today.

No programmer will rip you apart or be angry. We've all been at this point and we love to see a new victim starting the development cycle. Being excited -> being confused -> being angry -> overcome problem -> being excited -> being confused ....
Love your videos!

"You fix one thing, two other things break every time."

The one quote that describes my life perfectly.

[silverstyles]

As somewhat of a programmer, this is entirely relatable, including the coffee bit.
My favourite programming joke is:
"It doesn't work ... why?"
"It works! ... why?"

[JacRios]

Seeing this is like seeing myself working as a programmer during these years:
Finding a solution for the code: "I'm a fucking genius!"
Revising the code later: "I'm a fucking idiot!"

[jakeheinrichs]

6:47 "Oh now it's working...what did I do different?" is honestly the most relatable phrase to coders everywhere, lol.

[pizzalawyer]

"I'm complaining that it's listening to me" is something every programmer does

"Why aren't you doing what I WANT you to do instead of what I'm TELLING you to do?!"

I LOVE the “Kevin learns a new skill in the most relatable ADHD way ever” genre of video.

I bet this takes you back to when you were a young lad, hiding from your neighbour's cows and doing backflips on the harvest

[Lauren-lnwi]

Super impressed that Kevin was able to do all that in such a short time - coding requires a weirdly specific type of thinking and he picked up on it fast. I did a bunch of coding for my dissertation and pretty much everything he said was giving me flashbacks, including the fury at code not working due to a single misplaced parenthesis and feeling like you're typing in riddles. ETA: and titling it "amazing code" and then moving to "actual amazing code" is so real

[pratikanand]

That's the most impressive introduction to programming I have seen.

Back in my day we had text adventures with a hundred if-else's full of print statements

I'm a 52 year old military veteran that decided to use my service benefits to start a new career during the lockdowns. I didn't want to do anything big, just build a little on the skills I had; welding, carpentry, metalsmithing, etc. The government wouldn't let me do that. They said my injuries and disabilities disqualified me from jobs requiring heavy physical labor. So l, with 5 minutes left in the interview process I had to make a battlefield decsion on my future education. I blurted out the first thing I could think of that seemed relatively close. It's four years later, and I am one semester away from a degree in Mechanical Engineering with minors in Mathematics and Aerospace. Understand that at 52 years old, I was out of high school before computers became a normal household item, much less every day pocket gear. I have managed to go through an entire Engineering degree program without really learning how to code. Then I heard Kevin say, "I'm really sorry people. I've taken so many stabs in the dark and I've let you down. I'm gonna have to learn this." Which has been my line for every group assignment so far. It's my last semester and I finally relented and registered for a Python course. If Kevin can do it, so can I. I plan to build a shrine to Kevin in the school maintenance room: goat skulls, chicken corpses, Irish Whiskey, the whole works. May Kevin grant me strength.

“Perhaps I should make an app”
Ten seconds later
“I don’t even know how to use the UI”
Blender be like

Functions are your friend. They let you make working parts, then in the main code you don't have to see every line of text.
E.g. "harvest()" is a function, except that you don't see the internal working (the drone's machinery controls etc.), only the clean command which does one job.
The reason you always put () at the end is to tell the program it's a function to use. Functions can use anything in those brackets, provided they are designed to take those "inputs".
E.g. "add(5, 3)", when properly written, could take the first input and add the second input to it (and presumably "return" or give the answer of the total)

[tahiatgoni]

I think Kevin learned programming and then pushed that crowdstrike update.

[rodolphov.santoro]

"I refuse to like, rewrite. I'm just going with what i have and adjusting. Which probably isn't the best approach"
It's fine Kevin, that's just called enterprise level coding hahaha

[xWolfehhx]

he learned how to loop and it told him not to put the same code many times, but still proceeded to put the same code 3 times in the loop. true programmer behaviour.

[Holydwing]

Do not feel bad Kevin, all that frustration and things you do out of laziness is exactly what us programmers do as well. I bet some of my friends would prefer to have you on the team than their current co-workers.
