In the past, it was possible to stumble into programming sideways and still produce a useful artefact for an end user. Nowadays, there are so many pre-requisite languages, frameworks, and libraries that it actually prevents us from getting started and leaving some space in our brain to be creative. To quote the software engineer Frederick P. Brooks, "The programmer, like the poet, works only slightly removed from pure thought-stuff. He builds his castles in the air, from air, creating by exertion of the imagination. Few media of creation are so flexible, so easy to polish and rework, so readily capable of realizing grand conceptual structures.” Watch the YouTube HERE: https://youtu.be/d5-Y9kLMVhM   ABOUT OUR GUEST   Meredydd Luff is the founder of Anvil, a powerful tool that allows you to build full stack web apps with just Python, without the need to be fluent in other languages, Anvil is easy enough for beginners, but robust enough for professional work.

At an early age, Davit Buniatyan was poised for a stellar career in academia. However, for some reason, he refused the call to jump into tech entrepreneurship after his PhD advisor at Princeton left to pursue a new calling. Eventually, Davit got the call to pursue his own startup idea as well. Check out David's story from the academy to the Valley.   Watch the YouTube HERE: https://youtu.be/YZxspGOqWzU ABOUT OUR GUEST   Before Davit Buniatyan started his PhD at Princeton at the age of 21, he was featured by TechCrunch at the age of 18. During his time at Princeton, he worked on a lot of fun stuff, such as making Alexa more human (which got him featured in CNet). Also, he reconstructed neurons inside mouse brains, which made him think of a radically more efficient way to handle data for machine learning. This idea got him into Y Combinator, where he started https://www.activeloop.ai/, a YC company.  Join Activeloop's community to connect with fellow engineers and data scientists: ►► https://www.activeloop.ai/ Listen to the Human in the Loop podcast to learn about what's new in machine learning: ►►https://www.activeloop.ai/podcasts/ Check out Hub, an open-source library maintained by Activeloop: ►► https://github.com/activeloopai/Hub Visit Educative to start your journey into code ►► https://educative.ioDon't forget to subscribe to Educative Sessions on YouTube! ►► https://www.youtube.com/c/EducativeSessions   ABOUT EDUCATIVE   Educative (educative.io) provides interactive and adaptive courses for software developers.
