Should You Code Along? (In Machine Learning and Data Science) (Episode 10)

[levithon]

What I found useful and helped me master topics related to coding faster was watching the tutorial and trying to think of a mini-project that would implement the topic presented, and then building it and re watching the tutorial when stuck. It is the most time consuming strategy, but the one that works long term for me.

I have an advanced degree in an optimization/industrial engineering setting, but my first job has afforded me the opportunity to delve into RL/ML. So, I am doing a lot of this deeper coding for the first time, and it is very helpful to have this video to help me build and manage my expectations on my learning process. Thank you for this.

Thank you one of the best words of wisdom I've heard in education form

Learn the principals not the syntax

[hhoulston]

Totally guilty of this - thanks for the advice. Going back and writing the notebooks from scratch to actually learn what I'm watching!

By far one of the best videos I have watched on YouTube. Could you please also make a video on the roadmap to follow when taking all of your courses?

@Lazy Programmer, if you are listening, could you please make a course on Advanced Bayesian Machine Learning using PyMc3 and Tensorflow probabilistic module? I think in the coming days bayesian ml will be more popular in some industries than others because as we are going through this situation, it will hard in the future to use the current data as historical data to predict something. I am a fan of your content, please keep up the work you do. I can't thank you enough!

i know we should review it first, and also youre not trying to get too bogged down by each lesson but rather you seem to keep producing more content to stay keep providing more resources, which is cool. but i think that would be easy enough to implement and would be helpful.

07:00 "If you are talking, you are not thinking" - this is just plain wrong!
Didn't you heard the phrase thinking out load? orgenizing your thinking in a writen or spoken words was proven to improve the thinking process.
You should try talking to yourself "by heart" and see for yourself what a differance this can bring.
Now, the advantages of coding along:
- Makes you focuse on the subject and prevents you mind wandering around.
- Keeps you alert and ACTIVE.
- Let you verify the code and check if the library is up to date (if not, immidiatly check the Q&A and fix it on the fly.
- Allows you to pause the video, make some changes to the code, explore the results and get a better understanding.
- Builds up some confidence and important muscle memory of the syntax and method. This should not be underestimated.
one caveat - you should always make sure you UNDERSTAND the coding. Copying the text without understanding is completely usless.

you're content is good but holy shit is it presented in the most pretentious way. Felt like the entire time you were defending your own stance as if I were attacking you lol. Dude, you don't need to constantly defend yourself. just say why coding along isn't a good idea and present the most optimal way jesus christ
