I made a Nerdle "Solver" with as many Software Engineering concepts as I could!

- Nerdle is a game that really piqued my programmer interest when I first saw it, because it felt like such a great problem to attempt to programmatically solve. I decided to apply a bunch of software engineering techniques along the way (mostly automated testing), and here's the result!

Hi, I found your video about fixing hp fn keys from 10 years ago!
Can you please help me to fix my hp laptop? The Project to a connect screen keeps popping up on the right side of the screen. I cant use my laptop at all. Can you please help?
Hello and thank you for your comment! You'll have to find the root cause first. It might be caused by certain keys being permanently "stuck" in a pressed state. You might want to press whichever function key is responsible for this a couple of times to see if you can "unstick" it. It _might_ be the F4 key, based on what I could find on Google. If the key is really stuck, you'll have to bring it in for servicing.
It could also be a software cause, though I'm not aware of any specific ones. If you've installed anything recently you might want to start there.
Thank you for laying out your software engineering practices for us. I'm definitely lacking in automated testing for my projects. I'll go ahead and start working on that soon!
You're welcome! Yes, this is something I would never have dreamt of doing when I was self-taught. But at bigger scales, automated testing has been an absolute lifesaver.
Nice!
Hello and thank you for your comment! Glad you liked the video =)
@@NERDfirst I think it's really important that you've shown an overview of the stages of software engineering. Most RUclips videos (and my cs degree) mainly focued on algorithms and their implementation. Thanks for the education!
Indeed yes! It's too easy to brush this off as a skill that can be picked up on the job or self-learned. I think formalizing on these concepts is really important and I'm really grateful my uni put a lot of emphasis on it!
Hello dear sir. I have a request for a video. Please teach us how to use ChatGPT to assist writing code. Thank you.
Hello and thank you for your comment! That's quite the compelling idea, but I haven't quite nailed it down myself either. Prompt engineering is an entire field of active research!
