Yo, the way he talked about the scribes in the beginning, and then about programmers in the past 70 years, and then finally saying we rule the world because the rules are handed to us just like the rules handed down to the scribes. That was awesome, mind blown
Programmers Oath 1. I will not produce harmful code - I will not release a defect - I will not make code for others harder to understand or change (soft-ware, easy to change) 2. The code that I produce will always be my best work - I will not willingly release code that is defective either in behavior or structure 3. I will provide with each release a quick, sure and repeatable proof that every element of the code works as it is supposed to - Write tests 4. I will make frequent and small releases 5. I will fearlessly and relentlessly improve at any opportunity, will not make the code worse 6. I will keep productivity my own and my team high, I will do nothing that decreases that productivity - I will not damage the code, I will not make things worse 7. I will continuously ensure, that others can cover for me and that I can cover for them 8. I will produce estimates that are hones both in magnitude and precision, I will not make promises without certainty 9. I will never stop learning and improving my craft
Great talk. I keep coming to rewatch every now and then
Why I watch Uncle Bob's videos this kind of late in my career path, after 10 years. This is fantastic, amazing and one of the must watch videos for every programmer. I Love you Uncle Bob
Most interesting part: # of programmers double roughly every 5 years so: 1. Half of our industry is always less than 5 years of experience 2. Seems like older programmers retired early when in reality it's just that their numbers are subsumed by growth in young programmers numbers
3:14 - 3:21 is my everything. This is a talk about being serious about your craft.
Thank you so much, Uncle Bob!
Thank you so much for this
47:08 What I learnt from this one is: If you have a suite of tests, then Bob's your uncle
This is a gold !!
Genius. Thank you so much.
What an awesome talk! Thank you for upload!
Well, I just got fired because of me sticking to those principles. And I would do it again, or perhaps I'd go on my own earlier next time.
Wargames is 1983 and the actor is Matthew Broderick. That was one of my favorite movies in high school.
Whoops. Just got to the last part about not using the company time to learn - after having watched this video at work...
Totally love uncle Bob, he's like my alltime favorite hero of all times. So much wisdom. So many things i can relate to. Thank you Bob for making this videos for my bosses so i don't have to do it myself ;)
Almost five years have passed since this talk, does this mean there are 200 million programmers out there now?
thank you uncle bob
I think the main rule of modern programmer should be - i'm solving the problems only if I am sure of their existence...
