Engineer Explains: 3-minute crash course on Machine Learning

Milena Radivojević

We've asked experienced engineers to share how they would explain some tech terminology at three levels of experience - from junior developer to CTO.

Ever wondered how computers get so smart without you typing out every little thing? That’s what we call machine learning!

It’s like giving your computer a brain upgrade so it can learn cool stuff on its own – no step-by-step coding needed. It’s a bit like teaching kids new words: show them an apple and say ‘apple,’ then a pear and say ‘pear,’ and they eventually learn to recognize new fruits on their own.

Watch this video to dive into machine learning across three expertise levels: junior developer, senior developer, and CTO.
