Automate agriculture using robots. Move in to the post-economic era as fast as possible. That's the only solution. What can computer programmers do to achieve this. Spend time daily on machine learning and contribute to ML projects.
John Carmack is great technical speaker. His interesting thoughts flows in a continuous stream and as a listener its almost impossible to get distracted.
I wish Carmack does an interview like the one in "Coders at work" format where we can get some insight on
How he approaches debugging,
what tools he uses apart from visual studio.
How does he approaches already existing large code base?
What is the optimal duration to code without interruption.
What techniques does he use to get in to flow state e.t.c..
