I work as a web developer. Even people at my own company don’t understand how simple most of what I do is. They hear the word “code” and imagine something way more exciting than what I’m actually doing.
I tried learning the BASICS of coding and it’s not that the foundations are complicated, they’re tedious to memorise. It’s all memorising how a language works and what the key phrases are. To know how to use those to make something that actually does complicated stuff and / or actually looks good IS very complicated and difficult.
@@Liusila It's only that way for the first language you learn and if you don't have a good teacher or lessons. The concepts aren't any more tedious to learn than any other skill, and the concepts are pretty universal. After you understand the concepts, doing it in different programming languages is mostly like learning a new dialect of a language you already speak. There are details about style and approach in each language, but those are just more advanced concepts and become more natural the more you do it. I'm not saying it's easy -- it's not -- but it's just like any other skill that involves designing and building things, like woodworking, cooking, or sewing.
As a programmer myself, this is one of my pet peeves. The other one is when they show code for doing something onscreen, and it’s always an implementation of the factorial function (usually a recursive one to make it appear longer). I understand why they do it. Factorial is a super basic function that you learn within your first month of classes in any programming related degree. So it’s an easy one to code up correctly to show on a monitor for 5 seconds, as opposed to just showing gibberish. But factorial has NOTHING to do with hacking or anything like that. It’s just the factorial function from mathematics: f(n)=n!

Such a clever idea for a video and really, really well executed. Already watched this channel regularly but this just makes me appreciate it that much more
2:56 this is a thing for a number of university websites or professors' blogs - technically you have to know what page you have to go to to have a link, but sometimes the files for books etc end up in Google search results and then you just go backwards from that one file into the parent directory where everything is. Had that once when I was looking for a specific book years ago (but not 2003, like 2015), a result from an Indonesian university came up on Google, and then I went back into the directory and they had a whole host of scanned books completely unprotected. Lots of stuff about cultural studies and pop culture. Was a good find.
Glad to see someone showing most hacking scenes aren't "scary" or "that complicated". If you're willing to learn a couple tools, gain a brief understanding of networking, and learn a scripting language, you too can be a fancy "hacker"
I wouldn't in a million years categorize downloading a listed or even unlisted bunch of files in an automated fashion hacking. That said, even actual hacking/cracking still tends to be quite simple.
Please do another video with Mr. Robot in it. It's an amazing show and has a lot of incredible cinematography, storytelling, and technologically accurate
Awesome video. If I’m being honest, first time I saw your channel a couple years ago I felt like it was a little derivative of Every Frame a Painting, but I love how much you’ve carved out your own style of videos. Hope that didn’t sound backhanded, all love.
fights in real life are nothing like in movies and that's good because if they were they would suck. Movies don't have to adhere to real life to be good
Another important thing to mention about Facemash hacking scene: it’s not really hacking, just web scraping. Hacking implies bypassing a layer of security, which Mark doesn’t even claim to have done in the scene. All the images are public, it’d just be tedious to download them one by one. Luckily, he can write some code to download all the images quickly, which is know as scraping. They just say “hacking” in the movie because it sounds cooler and most people don’t know the difference.
my computer science professor at my university told us that naming stuff with fancy names and complicated acronyms is a great way to confuse your less knowledgeable supervisors and get them to pay you more money for simple stuff
this video finally blurred the line between advertisement and video. it's still a cool video, but I just couldn't wait until the "you can learn it on skills hare" finally drops
Hey, great vid as always! What's the background song? I am pretty sure I played a game in my childhood that used it as soundtrack, and I am really stuck here trying to remember! All tips are appreciated.
I dont know If this is asking too much, but remembering the "milk" vídeo,.and watching some other movies, i realised that women in bathtubs actually carry some meaning, like in atomic blonde opening, and panic Room. Both are drinking and in pain, in a bathtub. I cant recollect any more examples, but If It does have some meaning, and you have some insight in this, It would be great to see what else there is to these scenes.
I (would say) I have very little/poor coding experiences currently learning 'emac' and ngl I always feel like a genius for doing basic crap like cutting and pasting code from different windows. That's about the extent of my knowledge tho XD (For those who don't know; emacs has NO mouse interactions, EVERYTHING requires keystrokes. You can't open a file unless you write the commands and if you don't know the commands you either have to read the mess of a help section (which you have to know the command) or look up every command you want as you need it. Like learning a language I guess.)
Nothing is complicated. But it takes a life of descipline built around the desired area of expertise which takes a lot of compromises and sacrifices to get even those simpler things.
there is this thing i found where in brazers landing pages there was landing page # in the url, id just change the numbers and go through all the adds to "watch" them im such a hacker
Hacking scenes in movies INFURIATE me man. Bad ones I mean. I feel like I'm having my intelligence insulted and that the director (or whoever is responsible) thinks they're being dead clever. I just wanna slap them in the face.
Hi I am trying to write my first screenplay. The story is basically a mindfuck story at the core, where the protagonist loses everything at the end. Whatever I have read about writing a scene or an entire script focuses on 'what is the character's wants' and 'what do they do get their wants', or 'how does the character overcome the conflict'. How do I break down a story where the protagonist does NOT get what they want? The plot of the story in itself is interesting(some feedback from friends), but how do I make sure the screenplay is interesting as well and keeps the audience invested in the story and the characters?
What irritates me is that almost nobody is actually typing anything on their keyboards in movies. Even if you don't know what they're supposed to be typing, you can always tell if you're paying any attention to it, if someone is just randomly wiggling their fingers or if they're typing anything meaningful. I find it ridiculous to see to what lengths actors will go for their roles when it comes to anything else - all those marine boot camps, learning to play instruments, learning languages and whatnot, even if it's barely seen or heard in the film. But nobody can be bothered to at least frickin' type on a keyboard properly, even if being a hacker is a major part of their character or if the whole film revolves around it.
I love those horribly cheesy fake hacking scenes. The only thing I like more are those fake video game animations when a show/movie doesn’t want to spring for the rights to use a real one.
Probably worth rephrasing all instances of “you don’t need to be a hacking expert” with “this isn’t even hacking, this is using standard coding to do something.” None of the examples in this video are “hacking” at all

I hacked into this RUclips account by bypassing the verification process using valid credentials just to say your hacking jargon analysis is spot on!
Because of how well you implemented the ad it feels like the whole video is the ad lol

I don’t know that any other video essay channel teaches me more about movies and about good video making at the same time than this one.
Mr. Robot did a great job at displaying realistic coding and hacking culture. Such a freaking great show.
I'm so happy you included the jerk math when referencing silicon valley, that's one of the best comedy scenes ever put in a TV show.
The sound mixing felt distracting to me in some parts of the video.
Background music was WAYYYY to loud
I think he's used to using music with more bass. You can't pump a midrange-y electric guitar like that and expect a voice to ride over it without some eq. /jargon ;)
Such an awesome way to demystify CS for people. Great video as always!
chill out with the background music, it's sometimes way too loud and hardcore to centrate on your voice

Okay. I had not seen so much undercover advertising in one video. I could say it's the longest advertisement I've ever seen hahahaha
that segue into the ad read was pretty smooth

Plot twist: Mark Zuckerberg is actually a robot
Plot twist 2: We all saw it coming
A video I’d be very interested in seeing is about cigarettes, cigars, and smoking, and how they are used in movies
Man this video reminded me how awesome The Social Network score was.
Great video! Love how you broached the topic of hacking in films with a unique perspective.
"You don't need a Harvard degree to learn how to code" you don't need skillshare either

Adding a little more realism doesn't hurt though.
Best video essay I've seen in a long while. Props
This is easily one of my, if not my, favorite video(s) you've made.
Best advertisement for skillshare.
The first time ever I really want to go check out skillshare after seeing dozens of sponsor contents on RUclips.

How accurate is the hacking in Mr. Robot?
I would say it's on "pretty much" level of accuracy

How to promote your own website
