How to learn programming | George Hotz and Lex Fridman

do you have advice for people uh that want to you know get into programming want to learn programming you have a video uh what is programming new blessings exclamation point and i think the top comment is like warning this is not for noobs uh do you have a noob like uh tldw for that video but also uh a new but friendly advice on how to get into programming you are never going to learn programming by watching a video called learn programming the only way to learn programming i think and the only one is the only way everyone i've ever met who can program well they learned it all in the same way they had something they wanted to do and then they tried to do it and then they were like oh well okay this is kind of you know be nice if the computer could kind of do this thing and then you know that's how you learn you just keep pushing on a project um so the only advice i have for learning programming is go program somebody wrote to me a question like we don't really they're looking to learn about recurrent neural networks and saying like my company's thinking of doing using recurring neural networks for time series data but we don't really have an idea of where to use it yet we just want to like do you have any advice on how to learn about these are these kind of general machine learning questions and i think the answer is like actually have a problem that you're trying to solve and and just i see that stuff oh my god when people talk like that they're like i heard machine learning's important could you help us integrate machine learning with macaroni and cheese production you just i don't even you can't help these people like who lets you run anything who lets that kind of person run anything i think we're we're all um we're all beginners at some point so it's not like they're a beginner it's it's like my problem is not that they don't know about machine learning my problem is that they think that machine learning has something to say about macaroni and cheese production or like i heard about this new technology how can i use it for why like i don't know what it is but how can i use it for why that's true you have to build a penetration of how because you might be able to figure out a way but like the prerequisites you should have a macaroni and cheese problem to solve first exactly and then two you should have more traditional like in the learning process should involve more traditionally applicable problems in the space of whatever that is of machine learning and then see if it could be applied to background at least start with tell me about a problem like if you have a problem you're like you know some of my boxes aren't getting enough macaroni in them um can we use machine learning to solve this problem that's much much better than how do i apply machine learning to macaroni and cheese you
