- The title of this video should change with the times. But nothing lasts forever: here's the story of how I made it work, why it used to be easier to make that work, and how it all ties in to the White Cliffs of Dover and the end of the universe.

"The code was never the important part" gets you thinking as a software developer!
Logic is more important, code is just an image but logic is the idea
Code monkey think 'Maybe manager wanna write
Goddamn login page himself!'
I tend to say that every new line of code is just a new chance for failure... and then cry quietly in a corner about my broken code.
Code is a product of your imagined solution of any particular problem and your skill in using any particular tool (language). It's an intermediate step of translating means (imagination and language) to an end (solution).
@@houghwhite411 well i don't think that's entirely true, i don't really know about software developing or coding but i study coding in C++ at school so i am not completely ignorant. i think that knowing the instruments you're working with improves improves the range of things you can create with them, for example in video editing, having a cool idea in your head is and then making one person realize that is fine, but knowing the tools themselves opens many more possibilties, cause you know how they work from the inside and you can come up with many more creative solutions
