| Programming has changed my perspective on life and I am eternally grateful for it. Posted: 05 Sep 2021 06:47 AM PDT I haven't made a lot of smart choices. Nearing 30, I am nowhere near the standing I wanted to be when I was young. A raging introvert who was content with where life was just taking me. I had no real drive, purpose or motivation to plan out my path. I was a straight A student in school and everything that was placed in front me, I put in the effort to succeed at it just cause I was inherently capable of doing it. I was the valedictorian equivalent in my school (not from the States), the person everyone thought would come on top and I realize I expected everything to just fall in place. I believed that life would be an on rails video game. Speaking of video games, I got hooked on World of Warcraft. Fuck that game. Chasing virtual dragons in my early 20's while I assumed my father would use his status in the prestigious company to get me in. Nepotism isn't shunned in our country, it welcomed. But changing times meant that he couldn't, instead I joined a sister company that sapped the soul out of me by making me work my ass off 72 hours a week for barely any pay. I hated it. In most jobs you only needed to work a few hours. In this, I had no time eat and the pressure of finishing whatever task you were handed can seriously break you. I had seen people - grown men - cry in lavatories or just drink themselves to a stupor once their reach their lodging. The only reason I pushed myself to show up to work everyday was I believed it that in time, I would get enough experience to join the parent company, where the pay was much higher, and hours less gruesome. No luck there either. Hiring froze and I either had to stay in the current position or quit. I said fuck it, used whatever I saved and started pursuing a degree in IT at 26. Another mistake. The 'college' I went to was nothing but a diploma mill that gave away free A's to students so they can up their chances to transfer to the States or to Canada. I tried my luck at transferring too. Found a good college in the Midwest with a great scholarship program, but failed the visa process. They never gave me the reason but I believe I was too old to be an undergrad, and they used that against me. More failures. That's when I sat my ass down, opened r/learnprogramming, watched as many free YouTube tutorials on programming and learned whatever I found so I can at least make a career for myself. I got an internship at a startup and continued to improve myself. Got promoted to a full time position with praise from my superiors, and now I am looking at starting an MSc to further my knowledge. What made me realized how impactful this career choice was losing someone I loved and cared so deeply for. It made me realize that the one solid choice I've ever made in my life that could actually help me redefine myself and give me a purpose was my decision to sit down, open up a playlist for JavaScript tutorials suggested somewhere here and start taking notes. For that, I owe my life and my sanity. I want to thank each and every person here who has taken, and continue to take the time to answer every annoying question us scrubs ask repeatedly... everyone who knows the struggle and the fear of failing and keeps supporting those who are struggling and afraid. I am eternally grateful for all of you guys. [link] [comments]  |
| Software development manager looking to mentor Posted: 05 Sep 2021 09:48 PM PDT Hey ya'll. I am a programming team lead at a mid sized company. I started my journey into software development about 9 years ago. This subreddit was very helpful on the way. I just wanted to see if I could help out people who are in the same position I was in just a few years ago. I lead a data engineering team. We primarily work in Java and Scala. I know a lot about SpringBoot, Kafka, and Spark. Willing to mentor anyone just starting out. I don't hire so I can't get you a job. However I don't mind helping out with a resume or two. If you are interested, please private message me. This is all free help of course. [link] [comments]  |
| Did some Python list exercises and had to Google almost every time. Is it normal? Posted: 05 Sep 2021 01:15 AM PDT So, I did some 10+ basic Python list exercises and some were easy and some were difficult. Before solving each exercises, I figured something out on paper and Googled a solution only when I got errors or couldn't solve at all. Some of the examples are:
Also, I am not sure if I will remember everything I solved. Is it okay if this happens? If not, what practices do I need to implement for better logic building/information retention? [link] [comments]  |
| What are some math books that Programmer should read? Posted: 05 Sep 2021 08:58 PM PDT Hey, I have been learning code and I also want to learn maths for programming. So what are some books that absolute beginners should read? [link] [comments]  |
| How much should I care about the c in O(cn) when analyzing time complexity of code I wrote? Posted: 05 Sep 2021 09:40 PM PDT I'm working through Cracking the Coding Interview, and I've heard many times that you should drop the constants when working with Big Oh, so O(2n) is the same as O(n). But isn't it just not? Like if I wrote a solution that is O(5n), shouldn't I optimize that to O(n) (a true O(n)) if I can? I feel wrong about saying "well this O(5n) is pretty much O(n), so this solution is good with me!" Thoughts on this? [link] [comments]  |

| Teacher looking for career change. Need some advice. Posted: 05 Sep 2021 09:51 PM PDT I'm currently a high school biology teacher looking for a career change and needing advice on what paths to take. Before the pandemic, I took some time to learn some Java through JetBrains Academy. I reached a point where I just didn't know what I wanted to do with my newfound Java knowledge. I know I was supposed to work on some personal projects, but I didn't have any ideas and lost motivation. Once the pandemic hit, I had to shift my focus but know I'm weary of teaching and want to take another step forward. Ideally I'd want to go back to school full-time to get another degree, but I have some health issues and can't afford to go without health insurance. [link] [comments]  |
| Solving Problems Inefficiently (Beginner) Posted: 05 Sep 2021 04:16 PM PDT Hello everyone! I've been working through JS problems recently and have found that I have been able to solve them (for the most part). Although, my concern is that my solutions don't seem to be very efficient compared to how other's got their answers. Is this something that comes with time/experience in programming? Thank you!

| Posted: 05 Sep 2021 02:17 PM PDT I was thinking about what would help inexperienced folk like me learn and I felt maybe I should make a proposition to hear what you guys think. Could a discord, if one does not already exist, for the sub have a dedicated chat room where inexperienced coders work with the more advanced software engineers on their projects? It would definitely help some who are stumbling their way through a project as we arduously teach ourselves with the resources available. What do you think? Suggestions? Am I being dumb and this already exists? [link] [comments]  |
| Year five of learning to code, still no job Posted: 05 Sep 2021 10:44 AM PDT Reminder that "i got a job in 6/12/18 months!!" is someone else's result. The tech industry loves to pay high prices and no one has any interest in helping you succeed if it might hurt their bottom line. At this point putting the same amount of time into working at Five Guys would've put me $120-150k in the black. In contrast I've made < $400 from coding in the same time. Pretty bizarre for the "most in demand" skill out there [link] [comments]  |
| why is OS important when programming? Posted: 05 Sep 2021 08:40 PM PDT How does different OS make coding easier? For example, how is it different that coding on a mac is much easier than windows? Is the difference that significant? [link] [comments]  |
| Where to find "front-end only" freelance jobs Posted: 05 Sep 2021 03:36 PM PDT |
| Just trying to do it right this time.. Posted: 05 Sep 2021 08:00 PM PDT So I'm back in college after dropping out. On my last class for my A.A. then on to my B.S. in computer science. I've jump from c++ to learning Javascript and now Java(which i really enjoy) but I don't feel proficient in any of them and I keep doubting myself and end up not coding as much as I should. Feel like I can't find my direction in coding and I missed my shot not doing this the 1st time. Idk maybe it's the florida heat getting to me. Sorry for the whining, feel like the pressure is on.

| Posted: 05 Sep 2021 07:57 PM PDT I'm trying to learn kotlin and Android development. Was doing pretty good until I got to chapter 13 in my book. Basically what they were teaching (kotlin synthetic)has been deprecated and is no longer used. I figured out that view binding is the new thing that replaced it, and am trying to complete the project figuring it out on my own, but am having huge set backs. Have been trying for the past week to find something on view binding with actual code examples but am coming up empty. Most sites with view binding seem aimed at veteran programmers which I am certainly not. Any help welcomed, want to continue my book but just feel stuck [link] [comments]  |
| How to convert 3 CSV rows into Python lists Posted: 05 Sep 2021 11:17 PM PDT Hello I need to convert 3 rows in a CSV file into 3 lists in python. How do I do this? I have looked online but nothing was helpful. [link] [comments]  |
| Seems like a good place to get some help! Posted: 05 Sep 2021 11:17 PM PDT *JAVASCRIPT* //Below is a program that I wrote which will grab file names for each file in a directory and output them, what I need is to use the isRegularFile() and isDirectory() methods on each file object returned and add that to the output, as well as the size. What I want is a line for each file saying whether it is a file or directory, what its name is, and what the size is. I've tried a few things and I am at a loss. import java.nio.*; import java.io.*; import javax.swing.JOptionPane; public class DirectoryListing { yourpath = JOptionPane.showInputDialog(null,"Input your file path"); File flist = new File(yourpath); String contents [] = flist.list(); for(int a=0; a<contents.length; a++) { System.out.println(contents[a]); } } [link] [comments]  |
| How to loop this code, for every 50 points a student scored, 1 star is added Posted: 05 Sep 2021 10:35 PM PDT Apologize in advance, but I am a beginner in python and still learning. And I got this problem, for every 50 points the student earn while playing, 1 star will be added on their information. But I cannot seem to do it, here's my code; [link] [comments]  |
| Should I make a react component from scratch? Posted: 05 Sep 2021 10:33 PM PDT There's a react component npm package with all the features I need, but it does feel a bit overkill for what I'm going for. Should I make my own from scratch or just use the package? [link] [comments]  |
| Does anyone have any web3 or crypto resources they would recommend? Posted: 05 Sep 2021 10:31 PM PDT I'm still a code newbie as I just have the basics of MERN down, but I'm super interested in decentralization stuff. I'm open to learning together with anyone or joining a discord. Thanks [link] [comments]  |

| Which is better performance-wise? Posted: 05 Sep 2021 10:21 PM PDT So let's say I have a program that needs to log stuff to a console in my database, and you can expect about 10-15 logs every time it's run. ``` function log(text) { DB.post(text) } // Post the log to the database every time ``` ``` var console_stack = [] function log(text) { console_stack.push(text) } // Add to local array of logs function cleanup() { console_stack.forEach(log => { DB.post(log) }); } // Post the list of logs at the end of the program to the database ``` Which is better performance-wise? Is if much of a difference? Just curious. Language: JavaScript [link] [comments]  |
| Beginner/Intermediate/Advanced skills for Python/JavaScript Posted: 05 Sep 2021 03:53 PM PDT Hey, I'm interested in what things would generally constitute beginner/intermediate/advanced skills for Python and JavaScript. I see "intermediate" and "advanced" on people's resumes etc but what sort of things should that person know/be able to do to actually claim that proficiency? [link] [comments]  |
| Any tips to learn to program for a slow learner? Posted: 05 Sep 2021 02:16 PM PDT I have always been a slow learner. As a child, I had trouble reading and never thought that one day I would be learning to program. As much as I ENJOY it, I'm a slow learner. I need more time than anyone else to process something. School books have a lot of theories, while videos are straightforward. Are theories even necessary to memorize at this point? Any tips? [link] [comments]  |
| Pulling input and response data from google sheet to create a chatbot? Posted: 05 Sep 2021 09:14 PM PDT Hello, I'm very new to creating a dialogflow bot and was wondering is there anyway to link my google spreadsheet with my dialog flow bot for its input and response table? So far I have only found this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5-UbL6xg-8U&t=225s. But heres the problem the bot would only update its knowledge if the admin uploads the training set manually. Is there a way to make the bot always refresh from google spreadsheet ? I'm working with a team that has no coding experience, so a tutorial on this would be helpful. I myself could code, but so far I haven't found anyway to pull input and response data from google sheet. Any ideas? I have asked in the dialogflow reddit page but no response so far due to the limited active members. If anyone could help here that would be awesome [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 05 Sep 2021 05:11 PM PDT Going to college in a month to eventually become a programmer (preferably to start in a front end role) and for the past week I've been preparing myself to learn the basics a head of time. Ive been watching html css and JavaScript videos on YouTube (building along side the youtubers explaining the basics) My concern is the next day when i wake up i cant for the life of me build something on my own. My question is what should i do other than watching videos and building along side others? Any recommendations? My goal is before my course starts (October 17th) to be capable of making a basic HTML/CSS/JavaScript website like the home screen for Netflix login on my own for example. [link] [comments]  |
