- Series on Genetic Algorithms #5 - Mutation. I'm a software engineer and work heavily with GA's. I enjoy them so much I'm making a series on them and today I'm releasing a video on mutation. I posted here a few weeks ago and got some really good feedback. I hope you guys like it. https://youtu.be/nmU1R8GX-FM 23 comments programming
