Aka "in media res"
'Programmers have a pavlovian engineering response. Pose them a problem and they'll start trying to solve it.'
One of the truest statements I've read in a long while.
(Learning when not to solve a problem is one of the hardest things I've learnt.)
This is the same formula to get people's attention in short-form videos. You first show the end result, then roll it on how it got to that result.
This tip is gold, both as a data-scientist-in-training and as a senior high school computing teacher. Thanks!
I’ve been using this approach for a while; it works. TV industry pioneered it with the car chase opens.
I mean, the ancient Greeks knew about it. I love studying traditional rhetoric.
Nice analogy with the book -- got me curious to read it, btw.
It's a similar approach as the Minto Pyramid, used in mckinsey's presentation -- where you're supposed to start with the recommendation and then open up to context.
Also this formula can enhance the effectiveness of articles and post or any learning contents, capturing the user's interest right from the beginning.
> Also in Portuguese 'presos' means 'jailed men'
And in Spanish, Catalan, Valencian...
You lost me at 'presos'
I gather it to be short for 'presentations', but could not factor how that shortening is construed...
I had to reread a couple times the sentence to grok it.
Also in Portuguese 'presos' means 'jailed men' so makes for a very bad association on first reading...
Oooh that's what it means! I was confused but just read on; as non-native speaker I find it hard to get such shortenings spontaneously.
