In an interview with Lex Fridman, machine learning and artificial intelligence researcher Charles Isbell from Georgia Tech cautions programming novices not to dip their feet in the coding deep end. He says endevouring to accomplish something great programmatically before learning the basics will almost surely lead to frustration, and eventually giving up. But after years of perfecting the skill, Isbell sat down to write Pacman in a day, with the hopes that it would be trivial after all this time. Indeed it was.
