    I wanted to become a programmer, but I became a pentester instead.

    Just some random thoughts I'd like to share with you guys.

    So I was an electrician for 10 years but decided I wanted a change and thought I would set my sights on software development having dabbled in coding and assembly language already.

    I began learning python from udemy courses and was getting a feel for it, I was doing well but then my progression began to plateau. The problem was I'm not a really creative person so when it came to continue my learning by starting projects and solving problems, I didnt really have a lot of inspiration.

    On the flip side I do enjoy reverse engineering and I'm always inspired by taking apart other peoples creations and hacking them into something else (could be anything, not necessarily software).

    So my pathway to ethical hacking / reverse engineering began to unfold. The learning curve was a different beast but having that foundational python knowledge was and still to this day has proven to be invaluable!

    In my day to day work I dont need to write code really, just be able to read and interpret different languages to a certian extent and have a reasonable understanding of what its doing.

    So a message to anyone out there whos struggling or having doubts.. Maybe youre like me, maybe youre not cut out to be a professional programmer.. but If youre lurking this forum and making an effort to learn then all is not lost, there may be other areas which you can pivot into where you can do what you enjoy (coding, software development) but may not necessarily be too good at it. Most importantly never give up, and never stop learning.

    Any tips to overcome extreme procrastination

    Posted: 29 Jan 2022 03:46 AM PST

    I am unable to overcome my procrastination. Everyday i wake up thinking i would code for at least few hours today or i would at least learn something new(related to coding) but i don't know why i keep on reading success stories and researching the easiest and most profitable way to earn by coding.

    These things take up all my time and i end up doing nothing. Sometimes I think coding isn't for me bcz i am not hard working like other folks in this sub reddit....

    Has anyone ever faced the same situation?If yes,then how did you overcame your procrastination???

    Odin Project: How to stay motivated if projects don't excite you?

    Posted: 29 Jan 2022 05:38 AM PST

    Hi all

    So I've been doing The Odin Project for about 2 months and have gotten through the Foundations and am struggling with the first Library JavaScript Project.

    I've been trying and going through the material for the whole week and just can't figure things out.

    And I'm completely loosing motivation and interest in the course.

    Even when I look at the upcoming Projects like Tic Tac Toe I think "meh".

    How do you stay motivated, or learn the material if the projects are frustrating and don't excite you?

    Thanks!

    I am new to programming and I have been trying to learn python for about three weeks. What is the secret to learn programming effectively. I am stuck in this cycle of watching tutorials and writing codes from these tutorials. Help me I don't have job. I have no prior programming experience.

    Where did you guys learn software engineering methodologies?

    Posted: 29 Jan 2022 05:55 AM PST

    I was recently asked a question about Agile and waterfall development of some software. Also asked questions like "If you design a grocery application for a store, what questions would you ask the product owner?" in an interview as an internship position. Also I don't know what "product owner" is referring to... I believe product owner is something in the SCRUM concept?"

    I obviously didn't know the answer since I have not taken any classes on them. Which classes in college would you typically learn these kinds of methodologies (or which spectrum do these concepts fall on? System design? Software Engineering?) or do you learn them in the job?

    I am currently taking the software engineering capstone class in my college but I think they only teach testing and design patterns/principles. Any resources(like books) on topics like Agile and waterfall development are appreciated.

    Looking for some recourses to learn this type of dynamically allocated array. Is a 2D array?

    Posted: 29 Jan 2022 05:50 AM PST

    Here's what I mean:

    int *array = new int[m * n]; for (int x = 0; x < m; x++) { for (int y = 0; y < n; y++) { array[y * m + x] = } } 

    Apparently it is a 2D array since we're using nested loops to initialize. But what's up with the single subscript with two variables being multiplied? Wouldn't that just mean a 1D array of size whatever the product of m and n is? Then there's how we initialize it, isn't that expression in the subscript used to allocate successive elements in a 2D array to successive indexes in a 1D array? So is this a 1D or 2D array?

    I want to be able to understand this. So please point me in the right direction. Thanks!

    Is it okay to take break from Programming for a day?

    Posted: 29 Jan 2022 05:19 AM PST

    So I've been doing CP for the last 2 weeks and I've grinded problems for hours. Today I just didn't feel like coding. Is it okay for me to take breaks like once every few weeks? I don't know why I'm asking this but I felt like I had to.

    Looking for collaboration (beginner, unity).

    Posted: 29 Jan 2022 07:36 AM PST

    Hello, I have a question for all beginners out there. But first, let me introduce myself.

    My name is Nils, I'm 20 years old. I live in Germany, so my main languages are German and English.

    My interests are both 2D and 3D, I have a basic understanding of Unity and C# but I drastically want to improve this and because of that I'm online and learning almost every day for multiple hours (as much as I can, and I find the time for).

    I started my Unity/C# experience only a few months ago and since them, I finished a Udemy2D course with like 5 separate small games in it. Also, I watched and followed endless YouTube Tutorials, read hundreds of times of forum entries and the unity documentation. After all of that, I started trying to make my own replicas of popular games. I did not completely finish them, but I created the base mechanics like playermovement, enemy's, instantiating other objects / pooling objects and stuff like a UI MainMenu and DeathScreen etc. (games like: FlappyBird, DoodleJump and a game called State_io). I also just tried to just start some projects on my own where I try to get more mechanics to work and just to understand everything more. But now I'm at a point, where I lack of gameideas and I thought maybe there is someone else who maybe has an Idea which I can identify myself with and where we can work together. For sure, I think it shouldn't be a full huge game which gets released, more likely a small one where we can figure out features we want and just to get into collaboration and to get the hang out of unity.

    If this sounds boring or is not the right place here, well, at least I tried. :D

    If you are interested in a collaboration like this, just hit me up to discuss furthermore.

    Here on reddit, or on my Discord Server: https://discord.gg/AwsqySNXXu

    But please consider, that I'm new into this scene.

    How to get rid of anxiety while working with computer?

    Posted: 29 Jan 2022 07:30 AM PST

    Weird situation but for some reason, I get really anxious every time I need to work on my laptop. I've started learning programming recently, and my anxiety really gets in the way of learning...

    I am not sure where that fear comes from, but I think I am just afraid of breaking something. I almost jump every time any random window or notification pops up, lol.

    Today I wanted to install Ubuntu on a VirtualBox(for TOP) and I've spent 30 minutes in front of a screen just trying to convince myself to click that goddamn "install VirtualBox" button. Once it was installed I turned off my pc in horror. Needless to say that I did not install Ubuntu. Going through that process is probably gonna give me a heart attack lmfao.

    Now that I typed it out it actually sounds embarrassing af

    Any tips? None of my friends seem to suffer from similar problem... For reference I am not old, I am actually younger than 18. So its definitely not an age thing.

    I need a loading bar on my Squarespace page that updates based off of information from a Google Sheet and I don't know who to ask. I have a limited budget

    Posted: 29 Jan 2022 07:30 AM PST

    Sorry if this is the wrong place to ask, but I make sales through Squarespace and store them in Google Sheets. I am working toward a funding goal, and want a loading bar to display on my Squarespace page to show how close I am to that funding goal.

    Posted: 29 Jan 2022 07:28 AM PST

    I can across a job on Indeed in the UK, Full Stack Web Developer role, the 'required' skills are:

    PHP 2 years Laravel 1 years JavaScript 2 years Bachelors Degree (preferred)

    And what does the lucky candidate get in return, £9 an hour. Surely this posting is a joke?

    Edit: I know this probably isn't the right sub, apologies, but I needed to ask a larger audience.

    this is the code by the way

    import sqlite3 as sql connection=sql.connect('example.db') cursor=connection.cursor() connection.close()
