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.

@bigezyLA@Fznation01 Thank you sir for your reply. I resonate with what you are saying for you to know you have a real skill you have to use real money and trade in the real time markets to have full conviction that you can trade
8. They mistake activity for progress.
Being busy in trading doesnโt always mean youโre improving.
The traders who grow arenโt necessarily the ones learning the most. Theyโre usually the ones applying what they already know.
7. They underestimate the importance of discipline. A mediocre strategy with discipline will outperform a great strategy without discipline. Psychology matters more than most traders think.
6. They don't track their performance. If you don't know what's working and what's not, improvement becomes guesswork.
Data exposes weaknesses that emotions hide.
3. They confuse knowledge with skill.
Knowing how something works is different from being able to execute it consistently. Trading rewards application, not information.
