Why do we teach them to add and multiply we have calculators? Why do we teach them to read, we have text to voice? Why do we teach them to broom, we have Roombas? Why do we teach them to do the dishes, we have dish-washers? </sarcas

One of the clearest thinkers I had the privilege of knowing was Dr. Eli Goldratt author of Theory of Constraints. Fortunately for us he defined as his life's mission to teach the world to think clearly. So I suggest you start with thre

Eiffel is the language you are looking for. It's pre-conditions and post-conditions prove the properties of the code that you actually are executing. The book that does the equivalent but with the properties checked at runtime is: Obje

In Eiffel we have multiple inheritance. It's such a powerful tool. And a natural way to model the world. For example if you think of your typical OOP book You have Vehicles with engines * cars that move on roads * planes that mov

Code is not only code. It's like saying physics it's just math. If we read: F = m*a There is ton of knowledge encoded in that formula. We cannot evaluate the formula alone. We need the knowledge behind it to see if it matches re

Mmhhh how about a youtube version that looks like a usenet forum of my channel subscriptions. Where each video is a topic. The summary is part of the topics. Ideally the same software I use to read news groups should work for youtube.

I applaud the idea of bringing back the Visual Basic model to the web. Again I don't expect people under 45 to remember how easy it was to develop a user interface that reacted to user actions. I just don't see the need to create

The Elon fan boys, are always under that impression. Plus the PR machine is always trying to create that impression. Take a look at the wikipedia page for Tesla, there has been an edit war for several years trying to create the impression

Programming languages are extremely important yet we don't pay for them and their people that develop them. See also Evan Czaplicki creator of Elm https://youtu.be/XZ3w_jec1v8?si=6aLusWMAtdhenPZv
