Look at the Witness through the Eyes of a Programmer - LambdaConf 2024 (film, 54m)

In his article 'Seeing Like a Programmer', Chris Krycho focuses on the ways programmers perceive the world. He explains that programmers often view the complexity of the systems around them through the lenses of their codes. He advises against being confined to traditional ways of thinking and encourages treating every problem as an opportunity to learn. Moreover, he emphasizes the role of abstraction and modeling in coding, which allows for a better understanding of complexity and simplifies tough concepts. Krycho believes that the ability to see from a programmer's perspective not only enhances code quality but also influences a programmer's career growth and innovation capabilities. Finally, the article highlights the importance of adopting a flexible approach to learning and development in the rapidly evolving tech landscape.
