| Posted: 03 Sep 2020 02:08 PM PDT I(25) am still a student and my programme follows a different structure than a traditional degree. My classmates are younger than me and it makes me conscious enough since they studied it in school and have a background while I started late due to having to move. They still have the highschool attitude where there are closed groups formed and where you can't ask or help eachother if you aren't already friends. Guess who's the outsider. I've already tried mixing in. Professors were never helpful anyway. So it's just myself and it's quite isolating. Googling something is the best answer, I know. However, considering the amount of unstructured information, it's tough to know what to follow. Even harder when there is no one to turn to when you're stuck. I also work so that adds to the stress since I have to perform well at work as well as for my studies. Now introduce the unhelpful Devs (online and offline) that take pride in making someone else feel inferior. I love the idea of being able to make something and continue to try; however, I struggle with learning due to the lack of structure, unclear concepts, confusion, etc. and having experienced adults amplify a little mistake or a beginner question just to humiliate and feed their ego is more than just disheartening. I like the field but I'm not too sure about the people in it. I've had incidents where I've regretted asking for help. Honestly, if it applies to you, wtf is wrong with you? Excuse my language but why the superiority complex? I'm genuinely asking. What makes you think it'll benefit you to do something like that? Personally, it'd mean more if someone is better at something because of me. I understand if someone is bothering you constantly without trying but people have different retention, learning methods, etc. and it's unfortunate that such clever engineers can't grasp that. Besides, if you're good, shouldn't it be compliment enough that someone thought you were good enough to go to regarding their problem? I don't think I'm incapable but the combination of everything mentioned above is making me question my competency, even as a learner. I want to know if there is a way to find out who's a good Dev to look upto and approach other than just asking questions and possibly getting insulted. Intention of the post is not to offend anyone, I just want to know how I can find professional individuals that are actually good influence. Edit -Thank you all for responding, I appreciate you taking the time to comment. I just wanted to highlight that I'm not asking for anyone to do anything for free. I want to be able to do shit myself. Also, I understand that no one is under any obligation to help anyone and that's fine, personal choice. It is not for everyone. Some like it, some don't. Just like I like to share resources with others or do some work for free for businesses in need or charities if I can. Guess what? Doing that also helps me sharpen my other existing skills and adds to my experience. Not to mention the people I get to network with. If you don't like being asked, just say so and I'll make a note and steer clear. That's literally all it takes. Feeling good about something you're good at is satisfying but don't do it at the expense of a learner or someone who may not be as knowledgeable as you. If you've got your head in your arse, you could be the best out there and someone would still choose to struggle and stay stuck instead of approaching you. Why would you want to be someone everyone avoids? Unless you want to be left alone. In which case, just let it be known. [link] [comments]  |

| Posted: 03 Sep 2020 01:14 PM PDT I'm looking for some non fiction books that are semi related to the study of electronics/programming so I can relax but also stay learning. I'm currently 5 months into learning python and so far i've been through a lot of tutorial books like "Automate the boring stuff". These are great but not exactly what I'm after. [link] [comments]  |
| Stuck in a rut and not sure where to go with my CS career Posted: 03 Sep 2020 10:53 AM PDT background: 28 and I work at AmazonXL part time. I make 15 an hour and get around 40 hours every two weeks if i'm lucky. Education: I have over 90 hours in community college course credit. I was pursuing a degree in Computer Science but was dropped from FAFSA after going over the 90 hours they give you to complete an associates degree. Today: Thought amount the military but my wife is vehemently against it and I don't really want to go either. I've thought about transferring to a University to continue my degree, that would give me fafsa again but I'm unsure if I'd have to take out loans and I really don't want to do that. Plus the thought of more years racking up while I'm still in a shit job just depresses me. And there's no guarantee I'd even get a job in CS after because I literally wouldn't know what to apply for Also, I'm not the smartest dude so when I'm in school it's extremely hard for me to do well and also work (i work graveyard shifts). I just really don't know what to do. I've been working at AmazonXL all year with no plan about my career or trying to improve my life. A big issue is that I'm extremely lazy and unmotivated. Most men don't really like their job but they have the will to grind 40 hours out week after week. I've never been that man. Unlike most people, I dont know what to do. Even if I continue my degree and finish...I don't know what to do with it. I just searched and found this post: https://old.reddit.com/r/learnprogramming/comments/9n1gsb/just_turned_34_and_im_interested_in_trying_a/ and people are talking about starting at 35 and getting a job in less than a month and it amazes me. Sorry for whining at you. It's pretty pathetic, I know. Woe is me and what not. [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 03 Sep 2020 08:40 AM PDT So, one of the things I'm interested in doing in order to get out of tutorial hell is creating a very limited, barebones game theory model. Basically, I want to be able to create various creatures, give them some "traits," and have them interact with each other to see which traits win. E.g.: Creature A with traits 7, 6, and 9 competes with Creature B with traits 12, 4, 3 and the program tests them to see which traits are the most successful. Maybe what I'm describing is really silly, so let me know if it is. This will be my very first project as a learning tool, so I'm having a really hard time figuring out where to start. I can imagine classes being really useful here, but I'm not totally sure. This will all be done in C++! Any advice will be really appreciated. [link] [comments]  |
| What is the difference between GPU, CPU and TPU? Posted: 03 Sep 2020 11:26 PM PDT My friend told that CPU is best for normal tasks, GPU is best for tasks with a lot of iterative processes that makes it good for deep learning and TPU is the best for handling tensors which makes it usable for Tensorflow. Is he correct? [link] [comments]  |
| Can someone clarify some things about what is move semantics and why is it so important? Posted: 04 Sep 2020 12:13 AM PDT So I know the point of having move semantics is that you just move things for performance instead of copying. But isn't that what we do in assignment operators? I see lvalue and rvalue references but I dont see the benefit? The std:move only converts an lvalue to rvalue? Again what's the benefit? What is the point of having a move construction and move assignment when both of them do the same thing? (Original is destroyed) What else do I need to know about move semantics since many people really like it act like it's very important? I am not seeing the big benefit here but that could be probably because I don't fully understand it. [link] [comments]  |
| how do I write Unit test for combined conditions ? Posted: 03 Sep 2020 11:45 PM PDT I am a newbie in Unit test. Currently, I am stuck in a scenario whereby I did a unit test on a method which has 1 condition - for example it must contains a number of characters in a String. Simple enough right ? So, it went well and it gives me insight as to if the method is solid enough and then I changed certain code, after I found out there is one which didn't meet the condition exactly. The thing is I later found out that there is another condition to be added into this method so I am wondering do I seperate out all the unit tests or combined them into one? If I were to separate out all, then almost all the unit test will fail because of the additional condition. I'd like to know if there is a way to combined all the unit tests I have done earlier and then there is a way to combine it with one unit test for the latest condition in the same method. Or I should just leave it as it is - all the test method without the latest condition stay as it is. And then with the latest test, I just found out if it will fail or not....but only I myself know. Other people who look at the code will wonder why it fails. What is the industry practice here ? Tks. [link] [comments]  |
| Tutorial or resource about ADO. NET Posted: 03 Sep 2020 09:07 PM PDT Hi, I'm beginner programmer that I'm learning Microsoft technologies and I need to learn in particular ADO. Net.

| What is the "Scientific method" for debugging Posted: 03 Sep 2020 04:49 PM PDT Hey guys, I'll make it short and sweet. I'm working at this company for about 6 months and I love it. My most recent task was to fix this bug, the issue with the bug is that ìts located somewhere within a few thousand lines of code that I've never worked on, I've been on it all week and have no idea at all what's wrong and I can't get help from senior people because the group who made this part of our codebase are no longer here. Is there some universal method to solve bugs from scratch, a step by step guide on how to figure out bugs? [link] [comments]  |
| Is knowing Java, Javascript and AWS a great stack for getting a junior developer job? Posted: 03 Sep 2020 08:13 PM PDT I am trying to figure out what to focus on. The junior jobs are competitive and it seems like JS, Java and AWS are the most in demand skills for junior jobs. We are learning a lot of C++ right now and will do other languages but I want to get ahead a bit. [link] [comments]  |
| How does infinite scrolling work? Is it possible to force a website to load all content with JS? Posted: 03 Sep 2020 08:05 PM PDT I suppose I'm talking about two types of websites here, things such as Facebook loading more content as you scroll down, Reddit when you scroll down using Reddit Enhancement Suite, videos on YouTube home. There are also pages that have buttons to load more content into the page, like when they're broken up with pages. I've had a look at the network tab to see what's happening at either the scroll or click of a button but I have no idea what I'm looking at or how to use it, to basically request and send the action again.

| How to get going when it gets tough Posted: 03 Sep 2020 06:52 PM PDT Hi everyone, I'm actually an undergraduate taking information systems degree at a local uni in Singapore. I had previously taken a python course on YouTube and managed to complete it early this year before I started my first year in uni 3 weeks ago. After finishing my python course back in March this year I failed to continue developing python projects to keep me used to the language. Now In uni I'm taking a intro to programming course and for some reason the questions that our prof asks us to solve seems much more complicated and demotivating for me. It has come to the point that I'm doubting if programming is for me. Although this might be due to the pressure of just starting uni and it might be common for even experienced developers to struggle, are there any tips from you guys that can allow fellow students to continue pushing through? Any resources in terms of extremely useful books or websites to continue practicing and building projects will be really useful for me and other fellow students. I really appreciate your guys help :)! [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 03 Sep 2020 09:00 PM PDT What's the best way to get to an intermediate-advanced level of knowledge on NodeJS and modern/upcoming Javascript and HTML/CSS best practices and conventions? Is there a good open source library that one can learn from? And are there any advanced level online tutorials and good books? Many thanks in advance! [link] [comments]  |
| Roast my learning plan for a beginner Posted: 04 Sep 2020 12:46 AM PDT My plan is to leave my job in 12 months or less to start a career as a software developer. I've been learning for about 1 month, and I'm so far really enjoying it. I have so far completed 'Automate the Boring Stuff' and I'm about 50% through Jose Portilla's python course on Udemy. My plan for the next 12 months is: - Finish CS50x - I'm currently on week 1. I'm trying to take each week slowly to make sure I'm absorbing all the content and I'm happy on the problem sets - Finish the python udemy course. I should be fairly comfortable with the basics of python at this point, since I've technically taken it in 3 courses - Complete FreeCodeCamp tutorials. I've so far only done the front end design tutorials After all of these foundation courses, I've got at least two projects that I want to start that would be good for a portfolio. Is there any advice you can offer based on the above? I'd imagine my projects will take a couple of months each and it will require a few front and back end skills. After these, I thought I could start to focus on writing a cv, applying for jobs, and taking up small projects/bug fixes in the community? [link] [comments]  |

| Need advice on how to deploy spring app Posted: 03 Sep 2020 06:46 PM PDT Hi there, I'm currently about to graduate a coding bootcamp and our final project is an e-commerce store that has a react front end that connects to our spring boot back end. As of right now I have the database fully functional and have to load my spring maven app in IntelliJ and launch it locally. Then I start my react app and it connects to the local host my spring app is running on. The spring app is connected to another local postgresQL database on my computer. The issue I have here is how can I deploy the back end live? I'd love to be able to put this on my portfolio so if anyone wanted to check it out, they could simply go to my surge.sh hosted site and make CRUD calls from there to my deployed back end. As of right now our lead instructor literally has to download the react app, the spring app, create a very specifically named database in Postico that our spring app is tied to in the dev properties. Then only when he launches all of these together is he able to view and grade our project in its entirety. Anyways you can see this is confusing and I could really use some help or advice here. Any advice is greatly appreciated! [link] [comments]  |
| Need help knowing if my project ideas for a portfolio are correct. Posted: 03 Sep 2020 04:56 PM PDT I compiled this list looking at threads on reddit articles and youtube videos that suggested project ideas. These were the ones that I saw came up the most. Is this a good list for a first time juniorweb development dev?
I've started on blog, and so far I've made static pages using bootstrap. I haven't added things like user comment text, authentication, category tagging etc. If the blog is a good idea is making it from scratch correct? How advanced should the blog and the rest of the projects be as far a features if they are good projects? [link] [comments]  |
