I feel like you shifted up a gear in this video. The philosophy, pacing, music, non tech research are in a different league than your already wonderful videos. Bravo!
Comforting to know that I'm not the only one dreaming about missing classes or exams, or forgetting to review before my finals. I find it weird that I've only started dreaming these things in my 30's after becoming a sr. engineer. At first I thought it is due to my fear of failing, but yeah it indeed messes up my head for the first few hours of my day. I should learn how to forget more ;-)
I am a retired molecular biologist and I had dreams like that until I was well into my early 60s. Mostly about organic chemistry and equations: I would be in an exam and realize that I had not studied. Science and medicine is highly demanding and we all had to keep up w/ changing science (example virology and immunology, nuff said). His advice about 'clearing out" old knowledge from years of forcing one's mind to memorize and also apply extremely complex data for years is very important: I am retired now but I learned that as a Biologist (basically I am biologist) one's OWN MIND actually REBOOTS at night.. and like he said "transiently forgets" if one gets really solid sleep: very important to get to the level of DREAMs or LUCID DREAMING which means that one's mind has now cleared out and rearranged the neurons which one has created from the constant demand. HE understands what is going on .. bringing in the biology part of this. EXCELLENT... ADVICE. I have used his techniques for years. I just heard.. he said about SLEEP.. I didn't hear.. that until just now.. GREAT ADVICE. :)
Thanks for this video. I am a fresh engineer at AWS and have appreciated your videos. This one hit the closest to me. I have pretty intense ADHD. I forget a lot. It warps how I perceive and interact with the world in an inescapable way. It has been perhaps the most constant shame of my life, one which I have avoided addressing. This is in part because I was able to get by in school quite well. As you mention, the demands of memory are different in that context, and can be overcome with constant study. I have found in my short career, though, that my memory needs to be managed and conceptualized differently. Part of this has been seeking pharmaceutical treatment finally, but much has been left unanswered. This video helped provide some of those answers and a great deal of affirmation for my life of forgetting. Thank you.
Man, that slack notification at 12:00 almost gave me a heart attack 😂Not to mention, that dream has just started haunting me. In any case, thanks for this insightful session!
I had to change my slack notification sound after a few years because of my reaction. Now I'm not even at a company that uses slack anymore and that notification still has an effect...
Only 47k views, so underrated! This is a great video and I think a great direction to take your channel. I learned something and now will work on forgetting it!
I actually just last night had a dream of oversleeping an exam -- I graduated from college 8 years ago. This video could not have come at a more serendipitous time. Thank you so much!
I am glad? to know that I am not the only one getting this kind of nightmare. I am out of school for 20 years and still getting nightmares about missing classes and failing exams.
Across time, I usually valued more knowing the reference of information than the information itself. Meaning that I don't know how to build a compiler anymore, but if needed, I can find the right books or search terms to regain the information. The downside is that I feel like I can give good directions to my peers, but sometimes I can't explain why.
Ha! I've had that same dream, even a decade+ after college. Hate that feeling when I wake up. I'm with you 100% on this. Also a reason for good documentation - write it down so you don't have to remember some vague detail you figured out when you were neck deep in the work.
Congrats on 100k! Great topic today, I've been thinking about a lot of the same topics in 2023 after reading some of Cal Newport's work. Loving his Time-block planner and will convert it to Notion once I get the hang of it
The problem is until a big tech company actually denounces the leetcode garbage we will be forever stuck with it. It is disgusting that a company like leetcode has become a gate keeper to talent. Even more disgusting are the companies that continue to use it was a representation of a programmers skill..
OMG, I cant believe this. I had this dream even today and was wondering why am I even getting this dream at the age of 35 and I'm a Staff Engg with almost 15 years exp now. Infact my dream is about being late for an exam due to over sleep or completely skipping it by forgetting the date. I always have this dream. I once discussed this with my husband and thought its only me. I never wanted to google about it since I know the perils of sh!it load of irrelevant information which might misguide and make me feel miserable. But REALLY? there is a community out there? I'm glad to know this :D This is surprisingly weird feeling of relief after watching this video and knowing about it.. Thanks for making this.
Hi Steve, I've tried to do the same thing where I remember things that I probably don't need to know because I never want to forget them. Your insight is great and the charts make me feel a lot better about my own knowledge decay. If you're looking for content ideas, I'd also like to see a video about everything you use Notion for and how you organize it.
I have the same reoccurring dream! Only in mine, I sign up for a class, completely forget to go (even to the final) then I get my grades and see a 0. That's when I realize that I signed up for a class that I forgot to show up to.
Congratulations on 100K. You inspired me to take steps towards career growth and I just wanted to thank you for your insight. I wish you the very best this year and continued success. Take care.
I'm in my mid 30's and I'm pleased to announce that I no longer have these exam dreams as of 3 years ago. I'm a "who the hell knows, get it done" software engineer.
Steve, I have the same dream it’s almost frightening how close yours is to mine. Mine only differs in that I am failing a class and can’t graduate because of it. I wake up every time anxious and thankful I’m not in college! Thanks for the new perspective.

Amazing content! Concepts and information that would be very very hard to get from a specific course and a video that will help a lot of people! Thanks a lot Steve!
Surprised it wasn't mentioned: forgetting gives you perspective on old ideas, stuff you might have convinced yourself worked at the time of writing, but are found to be flawed when you view it after you'd forgotten and picked it back up. It also breaks tunnel vision or a person's tendency to believe one line of argument that keeps a person stuck when that argument fails (e.g., when you read, you might build knowledge based on some misunderstanding, which eventually causes you to be stuck when trying to learn a more complex idea. Forgetting lets you start fresh)
I swear I had the same dream. It was the end of the semester and I had somehow gotten my schedule mixed up, so I ended up hoping I can make up the work and still pass. I was so happy when I woke up realizing it was just a dream.
I worked at Microsoft full time while getting an MBA at Seattle University. Fifteen years later I still have recurring nightmares where I don't graduate.
Amazing video but I do want to mention that dreams can be a good indicator of what the brain is processing (in terms of content & emotions), not random and this nice analogy for this video. The book Why We Sleep by Matthew Walker covers this topic but people can read up on it in related researches too. The reality is, when you are having that dream, it's much more likely that you *do* have subconscious anxiety or anxious / stressful experiences in the previous day (especially relating to deadlines and/or missing something big) and it surfaced as what your brain correlated with similar emotions. Another example is that when your brain is processing location information (a new city you have to learn to navigate), you may dream of being in a maze. It's merely a symptom that the brain is processing it. Yes it is still good -> because the dreams can process and "resolve" these learnings, emotions, micro-traumas appropriately. A symptom of PTSD is these sleep cycles and mechanisms are disturbed such that the functions of sleep (and dreams) are damaged. You should still never be upset by a dream's content. You should feel happy much like the video explained, because it's indeed all part of the brain process to get you ready and better for the next day. Instead of dwelling on the dreams (aka side effects of brain activity), you should try to continue sleeping if it's accidental wake up early or get on with your day. In fact, if you don't dwell on the dreams, chances are you won't remember wtf happened within hours even if you tried your hardest to remember afterwards, no matter how crazy or amazing or scary it is. The only reason you remember the dream was because the brain didn't have time to clear the cache and you woke up during the dream cycle itself - and if you dwell on it then it becomes part of your waking memory. They are supposed to be gone quickly (but if it doesn't, and it's traumatic, then you may be entering PTSD realms)
All you have to do is look at a computer and remember your brain is memory not a hard drive. If you want to preserve your memory you need to save it to a physical/digital medium. Aka you need to write documentation.
Similar effect for musicians is revisiting a piece years later, after not playing it at all. Your mind works through the piece in the background somehow (?) and you will always play it better than before. (This only applies to experienced musicians who can visualize playing in their mind, not novices.)
Love this! Arthur Conan Doyle wrote that Sherlock Holmes didn't even know whether the earth orbited the sun or the other way around. The reasoning: "A fool takes in all the lumber of every sort that he comes across, so that the knowledge which might be useful to him gets crowded out"
I never thought there was a person who has similar sort of dreams like I do. I havethose dreams many times, they are almost the same, either in college or high school.
Your brain will tend to remember what it needs to. Instead of trying to remember everything, I take really good notes and tag things. I also work best with examples - when I research a piece of tech, I create a small project using it. If I need to use that piece of tech again, I can refer back to the small project. Also, I put basically everything into a TODO "app". I don't even have to remember to stop at the end of the day, stop for lunch, etc. My phone notifies me. I can safely forget everything with a deadline because everything is recorded.
Great video Steve! I'd love to see more about how you organize your Notion workspace. I love the idea of Notion but I don't know how to get started with it. Your templates look awesome!
I think we should store fundamentals and processes of how we solve any problem or do any creative work instead of memorizing data. Sleep has to be the best Garbage Collector in existence. Also having a derivation led slow brain which indexes on max generalized models as possible instead of memorizing everything works wonders. Also having a derivation led brain lets you index and rely on intuition as the best insight or perspective to any complex problem as well.

6:30 So why the hell are we still asking those stupid questions to candidates??? Even if time is limited, I would rather spend it asking other questions, or maybe have the candidate do other types of challenges at home.
Steve, I think you're wrong about this, or at least not entirely correct. Imagine Leonardo Da Vinci following these guidelines, or Mozzart. Wouldn't work. Decades of hardcore practice + love -> mastery and intuition, making your craft a second nature -> supreme creativity. Not everyone should do this, of course, but there is an absolute merit to the consistent practice for practice's sake. Robert Greene's book "Mastery" is an excellent read on this.
I feel like you shifted up a gear in this video. The philosophy, pacing, music, non tech research are in a different league than your already wonderful videos. Bravo!

Congradulations on 100K Steve! Well deserved
🤩The trap of remembering everything! Really wish this was reflected in modern interviewing.
I am an interviewer. What can people like me do to improve?
Man, that slack notification at 12:00 almost gave me a heart attack 😂Not to mention, that dream has just started haunting me.
In any case, thanks for this insightful session!
Damn. That slack notification was definitely a test. And I definitely failed...
I literally checked my slack to see wether it is from my important clients ...
Got me too lol
same here
I had to change my slack notification sound after a few years because of my reaction. Now I'm not even at a company that uses slack anymore and that notification still has an effect...
Only 47k views, so underrated! This is a great video and I think a great direction to take your channel. I learned something and now will work on forgetting it!

Hey, you comment often? I’m Rich.. might I get you a like? New subscriber but been getting to know the channel. Great advice. You have lovely eyes.
Wow, dude. Amazing content! I just discovered your channel today (via SDE Good Reads). Well done!
Love this. Also there's some cool research where people who forget faster remember faster. Almost computer memory-esque in that way.
I checked my work computer when I heard the slack notification. Great video as always!
The best video I've watched on TH-cam all year! Thank yous so much!
Packing some serious production gear there. And this video was definitely an up in production quality. 👏

You are not alone, my long-term memory is garbage but I think that it's a fairly normal thing.
This made me feel better about not remembering all the details of leetcode and maths classes in college… used to think I have a shitty memory

Steve, I think you're wrong about this, or at least not entirely correct. Imagine Leonardo Da Vinci following these guidelines, or Mozzart. Wouldn't work.
Decades of hardcore practice + love -> mastery and intuition, making your craft a second nature -> supreme creativity.
Not everyone should do this, of course, but there is an absolute merit to the consistent practice for practice's sake. Robert Greene's book "Mastery" is an excellent read on this.
