Hayk, I have been to solve this problem in my code for a few days, I tried ai, tried asking ai questions, try searching in documentation. I also kept asking myself what concepts to put for this feature, tried searching youtube for similar patterns, tried commenting out code one piece at a time when I thought there was an issue, try using the break points and looked at scope and call stack. I still can't find out how to solve the problem. I tried to go to the weather project in the course and figure this out to but that was for async wait, and my project I don't think use async wait. I asked ai do I use async wait for this problem, and it said no. The problem was my city and time values will show even before clicking the show city button, but I needed the setInterval for the city and time values to change and update live on the screen. The problem is when I use set Interval it would show the city and time values even before clicking the show city button, but when I comment it out, the city and time values will show on the screen when I click the show city button, but the city and time values will be static and won't update live. I commented out this piece of code cityIntervalId = setInterval(updateCityTime, 1000); , and then my city and time values, like the city, time(hours,minutes, seconds) showed on the screen when the user click, but the time was static. Hayk, in real world applications, don't you use SetInterval and at the same time the results will only show when clicking the show button or do I need to choose between keeping setInterval and allowing the city time values to show before clicking the button and remove the showCityButton by writing the remove event listener for the show city button to prevent memory leaks and then remove the show city button from the html file or can this be fixed where I can have setInterval update the city and time and only show when users click the show city button? Hayk, another thing is, Even though I went through the JavaScript tutorial of how to use breakpoints, I don't know what values is unexpected, like how do you know when that value is unexpected? Hayk, can you review my code, but also make a video of how to use the breakpoints, local scope, and call stack for this problem to just to see how I can debug this? I was trying to get more practice on the debugging using this debugging strategy and I am just trying to get better at coding and web development.

CALL SUMMARY: - Learn how to Google: learn how to google : r/learnprogramming - Learn WHY and HOW things work (The more of the What, When, How, Why questions you can answer or teach somebody else the better. Learned best with dedicated practice!) - One video at a time for practice (after a video, practice what was on the video) - Variables work like a box (declaring like telling the computer you want a box named something, assigning is telling what value will be in the box) - JavaScript VARIABLES are easy! πŸ“¦ - console.log as debugging works well - Automatic console errors can be looked up on Google - You can code Javascript in real time in console - "Call Stacks is like a drill" - Everything that ends with () is a function - Algebra COULD be useful for building a logical intuition (Khan Academy), Easy Data Structures and Algorithms on LeetCode as well - Learn concepts, theory, and general Computer Science knowledge - Decomposition: break down larger, unclear tasks into smaller, easier ones. This helps with knowing what to Google and also to make things less overwhelming. Usually what YOU want from a feature (more specific the better), can't be answered by Google or by anyone but you - Concurrency vs Parallelism: Concurrency vs Parallelism - Computer Hardware: How does Computer Hardware Work? πŸ’»πŸ› πŸ”¬ [3D Animated Teardown] - When something is confusing on a video, that is a great moment to pause to Google what they are talking about for more information (whenever you are confused, immediately do this. Trying to learn more things when you are confused about something prior will just make you more confused!)
I feel very slow at programming. Question!
I noticed a pattern when I code, especially on net-new features or in personal projects (where everything is net-new) I overcomplicate and overthink a lot of implementation. I try to make things scalable but sometimes I feel like it slows down my development a lot, especially when I end up sitting for 40 minutes without having written much code because I’m just thinking about the best way to implement something somewhat complex. And then next thing I know I thought of it wrong and it wasn’t the great implementation I thought it would be and feel like I should restart because it sucks πŸ˜‚ When working at my job I can get a lot done, on the upper end of how much my peers can do, but there already is so much code in a code base I can β€œmodel” off of which is why I can do so. Net-new features always throw me in a loop. What are ways I could speed up the time between understanding the initial problem, to start implementing a high quality solution? Outside the obvious β€œpractice” answer because thats a given lol. Note that I am mostly avoiding the use of AI. On job and out of job. This is for learning purposes.
Hey Everyone! I'm new here!

Question about ISP network traffic
Before reading this article, I was under the impression that all network traffic goes through the ISP; however, the diagram implies that only the DNS request goes through the ISP. I tried googling online, and they say all requests go through the ISP (including gRPC requests), but I want to clarify, just in case. The photo attached, titled "How the Web Works," is the diagram I am talking about. The white diagram is the one I made for what I imagined it was earlier (I omitted the internet connections that would be between the ISP and Google's Servers, but I feel it gets the point across). Any clarification would be appreciated! :D

@Hayk Simonyan Got it, thank you!
Claude Code Workflows
Next AI tool that we explored is Claude Code, how it differs from Cursor and how to use it in the terminal and with the extension with best practices, MCPs, Connectors and more. You can watch the recording below. In the next sessions we'll cover MCP servers in more detail and some RAG system examples. By the way, which tool do you use daily/often? πŸ‘‡

I tend to only use AI when I get stuck but I like to use GitHub Copilot in VSCode the most, but when things get a little trickier I like using Cursor (just seems to be able to handle more context better from my experience)
