| I feel like I'm on the minimum intelligence required for programming Posted: 02 Mar 2021 04:54 PM PST I have the motivation and perservence but Jesus it's sometimes embarrassing how many mini obstacles I have to hurdle over and how much time it takes for me to understand the logic behind a function or each iteration of a loop. I can be thankful that I could at least understand most programming concepts (at least so far), if given enough time. But that's going to be a detriment in a job setting, I really need to nail all these nuances that occur until I can be comfortable enough to write code as a career. Any of you feel the same? like if you had just maybe 5 or 6 IQ higher it could exponentially help you drill through the logic of some programs? It's all I'm really asking for. I like a good challenge but it's no fun being stuck all the time. I need just that little boost of brain power [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 02 Mar 2021 09:34 AM PST Many kinks, many failures, few technology changes, many worries - it's over! Last week I got a phone from the recruiter that they want me to be a junior frontend developer! My advice for all of you is to be patient, persistent, consistent, and keep going, someday you will get it. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- If you want to know my history, there's more about it: Currently, I am 22. Exactly 10 years ago I wanted to create my first website. I have been learning HTML, then CSS. I've created basic pages. Then WordPress, bootstrap, basics of PHP, and I did some basic pages and scripts. It was really really basic. It took me few years because you know, I was very young so I thought that I have time to learn. My mistake was that I wasn't studying carefully. I knew how something should work, copied some code from the web, and didn't even read any docs or sth. So summing it up I knew how to do basic things by copying existing code, but not to do something advanced by myself. When I was 16, I thought to start making money on it. I've done some projects for different clients (coding basic HTML, CSS, bootstrap, or WordPress templates). I've earned some pennies but it was my mistake that I wanted to make some money because I should focus on understanding the most advanced code and create an advanced project to get a full-time job as soon as possible. Because I was doing projects for my clients my knowledge wasn't increasing, so I had a basic understanding of coding. When I was 19, I moved out from my parents, I've got a job as a PHP programmer with the below stack (HTML, CSS, WordPress, Bootstrap, Laravel). I got fired after 6 months, but I've learned that I do not want to work in a company where I was the only programmer with no code reviews! How had I learn something and improve my skills? I was desperate to work as a programmer so I was there, but it was my mistake. Then I couldn't find any better job as a programmer, so I started a customer service career. I gave up. I was learning more about the above technologies from time to time but I wasn't patient. I thought that I am worthless. I started to film weddings, make money on it and apart from that I was customer support. I was reading programming motivational posts here on Reddit, but within the next 3 years, I felt worthless and did nothing. I had no purpose in my life. I fell into debt. Really, I was lost as fuck. I was asking for help on Reddit very often, but I did nothing. Sometimes I tried to learn but I was changing technology from PHP to JS, then JAVA, PYTHON, etc. Don't do it. Keep going in one technology. My requirements for a job then and now is:
Of course in the meantime, I lost any enjoyment of filming. Then, at the end of 2020, I thought - I am 22. I lost the last 3 years. I know what I like, but because of wrong choices in the past I lost Self-Esteem and I thought that I am to stupid to be a programmer, but if I will do nothing I will lose my life. I decided to give 3 months of time to me (after a month increased it to 6 months), when I will learn how to program every day and I have to start on Jan 1, 2021. I decided to choose the frontend (HTML, CSS, JS, REACT). 3-6 months can be not much for beginners, but I knew something about it. Within the first two months I've created few apps:
Above apps I've done while watching tutorials, below I will provide some sources. Then I found out that one company in my city is looking for a mid-frontend developer. I thought that it's stupid to apply, but I will try. Because of my previous experiences, I had and I have few requirements even as a Junior. I want to grow, not only spend all my days at work doing stupid basic things. It had to be:
Within the next few days recruiter called me, asked few basic questions. Then I had a hangout with two devs, they asked many technical questions. Then I had to do a task within the next 3 days. Last week I got information that they want to hire me as a junior! I feel the best now. I see the purpose of my life. I want what to do when to do and how to do it. Sources which I've used:
If you have any questions don't hesitate to ask. I will do my best to help. [link] [comments]  |
| Tips for nailing the non-technical part of the interview Posted: 02 Mar 2021 06:07 PM PST I'm a 39 year old former marketer who has been learning software development for the past year. I've been involved in an absolute ton of interviews over the past 15 years, on both sides. I've gotten pretty good at interviews. This sub has helped me a lot over the past year so I wanted to share some tips that have helped me tremendously over the years for nailing the interview.

| Python programmer learning C++ Posted: 02 Mar 2021 01:45 PM PST Python was my first programming language that I learned and I am pretty OK with it, not bad but not the best there ever was either. This semester, professor said that we will be starting to learn C++ in order to train us as physicists. I am wondering if there is any tips you guys have for someone who is coming to C++ with Python background, how to approach it, any simmilarities with Python, etc. Professor said that he is really happy that most of us know Python and that will help us greatly.

| I completed my first big hurdle! Posted: 02 Mar 2021 08:02 PM PST I've been learning programming for four months (to the day), and I've finally completed my first real project! Most everything before this was following a basic language tutorial and doing exactly what they do. I've been learning react most recently and changed my learning style a little - while I did follow a tutorial, I created new names for variables and methods to help myself learn better. I even added a little styling of my own to the task tracking app from the tutorial. I'm so proud I kept up and figured out how to make it work when I got stuck even though I'm still new to js and react. I tried to learn programming about a year ago but I gave up. I didn't really believe I could do it, and I didn't put in the work to make it untrue. It took a lot of time and persistence to make it this far this time, and it wasn't easy while also working. Still I won't give up again. The trick for me seems to be not giving myself the option to quit. Now I keep going because I have to find the answer. It's a strange mindset to adjust to; if you know you will figure out your problem and you just don't stop trying, you will learn. That's the secret: don't give up. You can not do it too. If you're curious about what I made, you can look at the readme on my github. I'm really proud of the readme as well as the project itself because it's the first one I've ever done, and I think it looks great. Anyway, I'm new here and this is my first post, so greetings to you all! It's good to be learning programming with you. [link] [comments]  |
| Visual Basic and anything similar... Posted: 02 Mar 2021 10:32 PM PST I'm reading how Visual Basic is the number one dying programming language out there, but what I'm not understanding is how other programs made in C++/C#/etc have a visual element to them. Do people combine different languages to make that kind of thing? If you were to look up tutorials on say... C++, you just get tutorials involving DOS-like consoles. Can someone tell me what I'm missing here? It's been over a decade, so I'm so painfully out of the loop it's almost illegal. [link] [comments]  |

| Need advice how to improve my code reading skills Posted: 02 Mar 2021 02:07 PM PST Hi. I'm trying to learn JavaScript through The Odin Project, and it seems that I run into the big problem. I just can't read code. When I'm reading the book, I understand the text more or less, but when it comes to code examples, my brain is like - "nope, dude, no way we are gonna read this, I'm shutting myself down". And I just skip code blocks entirely. As a long time lurker here I read many times that code reading is actually what real programmers do 2/3 of their working time, so, I guess I have a huge problem. If you have any advice how I can overcome such an obstacle, please, share. [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 02 Mar 2021 10:13 AM PST Hi folks, I'm a 12+ year front end engineer. During my career I've been the lead developer for xbox.com (during the Xbox One launch for ~9-10 months), I architected and led the development of the entirety of Intel's 2014 global rebrand for the website properties, was the architect and lead on the Microsoft Band v1 online dashboard, and have been a core senior dev at several startups, among a whole litany of other projects. I recently turned down a final stage interview with Google in favor of staying at my current company. Currently I am a senior engineer at a small startup called Medchat, where we do sort of a combination between what Slack does and what intercom does, in the healthcare space (a high security/HIPAA compliant platform). For the last several years, I have primarily been an Angular focused developer (at enterprise scale), and thought it could be fun to do a twitch stream or something where I just answer general Q&A about what it's like to be a front-end engineer, how to get into it, what your role as a jr or even senior dev should be, what I see the different types of devs as, etc. I'd like to do a Twitch stream where I answer your questions. I'd probably just be chillin drinkin a beer or something and chatting/answering questions for an hour or 90 minutes or something. You could literally ask me anything, though I'm not particularly interested in solving coding problems (I don't want to do people's homework, this is more designed to answer the other questions you can't get answered in school). I thought it could be a fun way to learn a little about streaming (never done it before) and start helping out newer devs who want a little orientation. I will probably do this next week and will post here in the next week before doing it. Cheers. [link] [comments]  |
| It feels scary when you look from hello world that is the starting point. I'm not smart enough. Posted: 02 Mar 2021 11:41 PM PST I'm a final year electronics and communications engineering student, I had take two c classes and 2 c++ classes. I did pass it. I had to use matlab and embedded c for some labs. I honestly don't know how I did pass them. Lot of short term memory probably. I really want to learn programming but I feel like I'm not smart enough for it. I understand the concepts but I don't think I can make the logical connections. It feels so big, I mean any language. I really want to learn, I'm interested but feel like dumb. Any advice to battle this thoughts of not being good enough? [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 02 Mar 2021 10:41 PM PST hey everyone, Im learning assembler in university and they ask us to run Linux to use assembler. I remember few years ago when I was in high school we used an assembly program for windows. I have searched for the program but couldn't find it. I remember it had visual ui (could see the values and it had lights) I don't search for a specific program anything could help I just want to know if there is still assembly program for windows. thanks in advance. TL;DR: I need assembly program for windows [link] [comments]  |
| ideas for agent based modeling in netlogo?? Posted: 02 Mar 2021 10:20 PM PST I am working on a project to create an agent based model in netlogo in which emergence patterns can arise. It has to be something not in the netlogo library and I cant think of any cool things to model. does anyone have any cool ideas? [link] [comments]  |
| Am I stupid for not understanding recyclerview in Android? Posted: 02 Mar 2021 06:11 PM PST I made a couple of not complicated apps using Java and now the new app I'm working requires recyclerview or at least it's the best way to go. I'm looking at the simplest implementation and I have no idea what's going on. I don't want to use it blindly but at the same time it seems like it will take a lot of time to understand how exactly it works. [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 02 Mar 2021 07:26 PM PST Hi all, I just released a very rough working version of my app Proliferate, which is aimed to allow developers to schedule one on one screen sharing sessions with other developers to discuss questions, software topics, and etc. Think Stackoverflow + Zoom. Would love to get any thoughts and feedback so I can iterate towards a final product. Even if one person tries it, it is a win for me. My article above highlights it as well. App: https://www.proliferate-app.com/ also my article about it on hashinode: https://proliferate.hashnode.dev/proliferate-a-platformcommunity-for-pair-programming-debugging-and-knowledge-transfer-from-one-developer-to-the-other [link] [comments]  |
| Who are some of the best Udemy instructors? Posted: 02 Mar 2021 03:36 PM PST I'm looking to reinforce my JavaScript, React, and basic web dev knowledge by taking a course on udemy. Are there instructors that are better than others? Is Udemy a good place to get a good amount of knowledge at a cheap price? I know there are other ways of going over these subjects, but I like the idea of a more structured teacher-student atmosphere. Thanks for any tips! [link] [comments]  |
| Copy and replace strings in HTML? Posted: 02 Mar 2021 09:27 PM PST Here's the entire code codeshare So I'm importing data from a csv file to HTML, cell_count === 2 is the column that my question revolves around, the one that contains dates similar to this. I'm wanting to copy the first 10 characters, which would be 2020-02-28 skip the next character the T, copy the next 8 characters, which would be 07:41:56. Then insert a white space between them, and replace the original string. So the final output would be And have it do it for the entire column. [link] [comments]  |

| Help with first program? (Trying to read a text and find words in it, issues with arrays) Posted: 02 Mar 2021 05:05 PM PST This is the first time I'm building something for myself (rather than just following a tutorial) and I could use a hand. I thought, using what I've been learning from CS50 (I'm only on week 4) I could do this with their IDE in C. I want to write a script that does the following:
So if the text inputted was "The dragon kept a princess in a dragon-sized castle", the output is: 2 dragon 5 princess 8 dragon 10 castle Here's my very terrible code and I'm sorry in advance: I'm getting 2 errors with this script right now, both related to arrays. Can anyone guide me with these two errors? I know there's something about arrays that I'm not understanding fully but I can't seem to figure them out. Any other constructive criticism with my code is also welcome! Like I said, this is my first time writing code for myself so I'm sure it's an ugly mess. [link] [comments]  |

| Where can you learn CI/CD and linux command lines hands on? Posted: 02 Mar 2021 11:56 PM PST I have a hard time getting used to these two concepts. Is there any place where you have 'mock systems' just like freecodecamp where you can practise hands on? btw, isn't git also a certain kind of CI/CD? very often when i search CI/CD, i get results of CI/CD gitlab in youtube. ty [link] [comments]  |
| A degree with no use and helplessness Posted: 02 Mar 2021 11:50 PM PST I am from India and has a Computer Science and Engineering degree. There is a stereotype flying around that Indians are the brainy bunch but there are below average peeps like me. I still have not the faintest idea how i passed the coding exams (storing lines of code iny brain rather than the logic of the code). I loved the idea that you can make your idea come to reality using coding. But my issue is the lack of logic to solve a problem and when i get stuck i give up too easily. So I started content writing despite getting offers as a junior developer ( just cuz i have a degree, in India that's all you need to get into a decent tech startup). What should i do to improve my coding logic? I get stuck in small concepts like for loops and stuff and I'm not ashamed to openly admit that. If anybody is depressed after reading this post, I'm sorry. But that what i feel every single day. [link] [comments]  |
| Coursera Introduction to data science in python question Posted: 02 Mar 2021 04:16 PM PST I currently on the coursera course for data science in python, but there is a lot of information. For those who have finished the course, are there any specific things that I should focus on, or should I learn everything they give me? Some videos cover different things like csv files, and unfamiliar functions that they say I should know. [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 02 Mar 2021 11:45 PM PST I want to train a custom object detection model, have tried various platforms like colab, paperspace , but to train every epoch it takes more than 2700s while the tutorial repository shows it should take nearly 300s. If somebody could help me with this i ll be really grateful. [link] [comments]  |
| How can I efficiently and properly read someone else's code for large(r) programs? Posted: 02 Mar 2021 07:50 PM PST I've recently started learning about penetration testing and cyber security and what not, and it requires reading a lot of code. But my struggle is that I don't know how I can read other open source projects from start to end. If the program is just a single file script then there's no problem with that, reading it from top to bottom does the trick, but say with larger programs with multiple files scattered throughout it's repository (for example as we see on GitHub, files are divided across multiple directories), how can I know where to start reading the code and where to go next so I don't get lost along the way? Is there a set structure to follow or is it more based on intuition and just knowing where to go on next after gaining a lot of experience with the reading aspect of code? [link] [comments]  |
