Send us a Text Message.Could there be a worse time to learn to code?I was nearly 30, had been sober for less than 2 months and had a 1 year old and 8 year old at home.I worked an office job which I just started and drove Lyft and Uber on the side.There was no time. So I had to create time. In the process of learning how code, I learned the 2nd most important skill as a software developer (right after coding): the art of time management.Shameless Plugs

Connect with Andy LIFT Architects Monolith by Andy Payne & Panagiotis Michalatos Firefly by Andy Payne & Jason Kelly Johnson Favorite quotes “Nobody wants to spend days and days developing a model. Our job as developers is to make it as easy as possible. […] There's something about the craft and time you spent developing your ideas into a 3D model. There's something about that investment that makes it worthwhile.

How and why, in the latter half of the twentieth century, did informatic theories of “code” developed around cybernetics and information theory take root in research settings as varied as Palo Alto family therapy, Parisian semiotics, and new-fangled cultural theories ascendant at US liberal arts colleges? Drawing on his recently published book “Code: From Information Theory to French Theory,” and primary sources from the MIT archives, this talk explores how far-flung technocratic exercises in Asian colonies and MIT's Research Laboratory of Electronics (RLE) inspired these varied and diverse audiences in a common dream of “learning to code.” The result is a new history of the ambitions behind the rise of “theory” in the US humanities, and the obscure ties of that endeavor to Progressive Era technocracy, US foundations, and the growing prestige of technology and engineering in 20th century life. Bernard Dionysius Geoghegan is a Reader in the History and Theory of Digital Media at King's College London. An overarching theme of his research is how “cultural” and “humanistic” sciences shape—and are shaped by—digital media. His attention to cultural factors in technical systems also figured in his work as a curator, notably for the Anthropocene and Technosphere projects at the Haus der Kulturen der Welt. Duke University Press recently published his book Code: From Information Theory to French Theory (2023), based partly on archival research he undertook as a visiting PhD student at MIT around 2008.

We mention often that the best coding bootcamp students embrace the process of learning to code over the results of their code. Now, we have a mental model and data to back up our advice. In this episode, Peter talks about YouTuber Mark Rober's experiment on how framing the learning process has a direct impact on the results of that learning. We'll discuss Mark's mental model for this framing - "The Super Mario Effect" - and what effect gamification can have on your skill acquisition.

In this episode, we examine two differing mindsets that one can take when learning to code. They're both valid, but they'll each influence your goals and how you spend your time in distinct ways.Here we'll uncover the characteristics of each mindset and some examples of the implications that each could have on your coding journey. Reflecting on which approach resonates most with you will help you prepare for learning to code, or to shift strategies if you've already begun.

Today we're talking about the most valuable thing that learning to code has given me. It isn't a career, a well-paid job, or really anything tangible. It's a mindset. Learning to code gives you the mindset of figuring things out and solving your own problems. In this episode, we talk about why coding gives this mindset, the qualities of the mindset, and how to develop this mindset in yourself.

Should you learn to code? Is coding for everyone? Can learning to code make you more employable? Does the value of coding decline in a world of artificial intelligence? Do intellectual property laws help advance computer engineering or hold it back? In this episode, Saifedean talks to Amjad Masad: CEO of leading coding platform Replit. They discuss how Amjad's upbringing in Jordan led him into the world of programming, how he started Replit, how it grew from an open source project to a company valued over $1b, teaching millions to code and build powerful products, and why he turned down a $1b acquisition offer in 2019. Amjad also shares the story of how he discovered bitcoin, how he is integrating it into Replit, and why he thinks programmable money is so important.ReferencesAmjad on Twitter.Replit official website.Amjad tweet on turning down $1bn Replit acquisition offer.
