Smh now what he is saying is true...but you don't say that stuff out loud.
its only a half truth.
I can teach anyone how to code. it's all a process.
basic logic.
If, this happens, then do this. if that thing doesnt happen, then do this.
^^that is coding in a nutshell.
The syntax can be taught and learned by pretty much anyone.
i didnt say I can teach anyone with ease to be an advanced coder.
Just like you can't teach anyone with bloomberg's basic understanding of farming how to be a great farmer/advanced farmer.
you do realize it takes critical/analytical thinking to pull that off in any genre of work. not just computers.
It's called the eye test, its called trial and error, its called observations of others and your farm.
Meaning, you run the data about 10,000 farms thru your software to pull out trends. the computer has that advantage it can look at 10,000 farms. where as you can only look at a 50. get their information, write it down, and pay attention and see what works vs what doesnt work. there is no difference between that thinking and the thinking on a data analyst. how do i know this? I am an analyst. and before I became one. I still thought the exact same way about things. now did everyone? NOPE. do i know quite a few analyst that do not think all that analytically? Of course. everyone isnt on that level. that goes for those using computers and those farming. Using Information systems to pull info = i'm finding trends = Locate the patterns and find out what each pattern means.
regular people that do a good job of observing their surroundings, will identify trends via locating patterns they physically see. There is no difference.
You hear all this talk about basketball analystics vs the eye test. if you use blooms talking points. You would really think no one could ever have been a great coach and no players could ever be efficient pre 2010 basically pre super stats era. as if people's eyes could not see patterns and use those to locate trends. The only difference is that computers have the ability to locate even more patterns/trends even faster than a human. but humans still have to build the models to train the computers on what to look for. how do you do that? You have to have eye balled it at some point to know what you want to see or how to look at things.
so again Bloom is only half right.
