IN 1986 MIT FILMED A LECTURE THAT OPENS BY TELLING YOU COMPUTER SCIENCE IS NOT A SCIENCE AND HAS ALMOST NOTHING TO DO WITH COMPUTERS
72 minutes from Hal Abelson and Gerald Sussman, the lecture an entire generation of engineers calls the one that rewired how they think.
-> The line that lands: computer science is about computers the way astronomy is about telescopes. The tool was never the point.
The real subject was always one thing -- controlling complexity. Everything else is detail.
Forty years later it reads like a prophecy. AI writes the syntax now. What's left is exactly what they taught: taming complexity nobody can hold in their head.
The language was never the skill -> the thinking was. This is where you learn it.
Most people chase the newest framework. The ones who watched this think on a level frameworks can't touch.

A DEVELOPER PROVED THAT MOST OF THE CLASSES YOU WRITE SHOULD NEVER HAVE BEEN CLASSES AT ALL
27 minutes from Jack Diederich, a Python core developer, on how much of your code is just a function wearing a costume.
-> The moment it lands, the rule is brutal: if a class has two methods and one is __init__, you meant to write a function.
Most people add structure to feel like real engineers. It just adds weight no one ever needed.
Writing more code was never the skill -> writing less of it is. And when an AI agent happily generates ten classes for a job that needed three lines, the person who knows what to delete is the one who ships something clean.
Anyone can add abstraction. Knowing when not to is the whole job.

YOUR AI JUST DID 8 HOURS OF RESEARCH IN 3 MINUTES AND IT COST YOU NOTHING
Hermes connected to NotebookLM means 300 sources per notebook, audio overviews, infographics and n8n workflows all triggered from one Telegram message.
While everyone else is starting from zero every morning, this thing compounds every single day.
You’ll want this saved the day you get tired of explaining yourself to an AI that doesn’t remember you ↓
