According to the article, it's still just 4096x2160, so based on my $500 4K monitor, that's about 120 lines.
Disappointed much?

Set font to 6 point and try again - easy double right there.

It's surprisingly readable, but not on my 40" display.  I normally use Consolas 10-point; at 6 point, I get maybe 180 lines. But then the font is downright ugly.

That pun should have been deep-sixed.
If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.

US$7245, says so right in the second paragraph.

It isn't 'guillotine day', it is 'storming of the Bastille# day. That infamous day when one political dissident was freed, along with 30 thieves, murderers and rapists.

His amusing style soon turned to boring. I couldn't stand it until the end.
As far as I'd gotten, however, I observed that he's speaking as though we all learned in "programming school" - which an awful lot of us didn't. I was almost going to add that "the best of us didn't go to programming school", but it's subjective and I don't have any proof, anyway.
For some, you just know how to program - this flow he spoke about - it's intuitively obvious. That doesn't mean one doesn't get better at it, for intuition doesn't guarantee correctness, but the logic of building a program just makes sense. Experience is a good teacher both in technique and building one's toolbox.
Coding is all very personal, or, indeed, his claim that we're imitating others would actually be true. Perhaps, for most, it is (and they'll be replaced by code generators). It's a fingerprint. Most importantly of all, it reflects the individual imagination.
For those of you who are good at doing math (arithmetic) in their heads, by now you've realized that what they taught you isn't how you do it in your head. You have your own rules, like adding left-to-right instead of right-to-left; Reorganizations of information to more but simpler operations; whatever organization your head prefers.
Learning how to code? To be really any good, you were born knowing - you just needed some practice.

That seems so true, whether you're a musician or astrophysicist. Still though, for the rest of us, some objective guidelines are good to have, and I think he touches on some good points, though yeah, it was a bit of a slog to get through to the end.

Valuable. While the somewhat hyper style of the presenter kind of "wore on me" as the video went on, I enjoyed it, and I appreciated the extent to which he linked his self-awareness of his own character traits to how those traits were, or were not, contributing to his productivity in a team context.
Thanks, Bill

Died (supposedly from cancer) in a Chinese prison.Quote: "The greatness of non-violent resistance is that even as man is faced with forceful tyranny and the resulting suffering, the victim responds to hate with love, to prejudice with tolerance, to arrogance with humility, to humiliation with dignity, and to violence with reason."
