kitten emergency posted:I mean Roblox and Minecraft are a billion times more accessible and intuitive than basic or assembly or c++ or whatever we had when we were kids, and let you create complex logic and full rear end games with custom assets, whatever. yeah, it’s a “prepackaged” product but it’s still coding. shamefully i learned to code with second life. so there's going to be tons of nerds that learned to code in roblox or whatever.

dang y'all actually learned to code? i think the only time i actually did something that id really call "learning to code" was when i went through the learning perl and practical c programming oreilly books in high school. i guess the visual basic class i took freshman year of high school counted too. everything else has been varying degrees of "try some poo poo, see what works, iterate" or learning CS stuff to enable "trying some poo poo" to work more effectively (and for interviews) if you call the nonsense i do "learning" we are gonna have _angry words_

oh yeah my architecture class did legit teach me to code in mips the rest of our classes were "here's a CS concept, we're using java/c++/whatever, here's some helper classes, solve the problem." i wouldn't really call them learning to code in that we never really learned how to use any particular language or its unique features in an idiomatic way. maybe later courses i never took did that but it was a very math heavy program so i doubt it. maybe the intro java course but it was loops and ifs and stuff and was trivial mostly im just bein goofy though Achmed Jones fucked around with this message at 23:47 on Apr 15, 2023 |

i learned to program via the "go to the library, check out books about computer stuff, read them cover-to-cover, and wish i had a computer" method later i fished an old mac out of a dumpster, somehow got ahold of a copy of qbasic for it, and then spent countless hours trying to get stuff to work while using a manual for a completely different dialect of basic

I just started doing stuff at work and went from there because nobody stopped me or did anything approaching a code review or in fact any review ship an absolutely disgraceful single html page application with java script that uses WCF as an api backend? Sure why not! I got a bit better after that tbf, and I am pretty drat good at SQL

the beauty of code is it does the math for you now setting up the problem, that’s it’s own problem.

i didn’t learn to code until 25 or whatever. i actively stopped being a nerd on purpose when i was about 17 cos i wanted to touch more boobs and take more drugs and party i did do a little basic coding as a child. but i ended up on this cursed computer path because i was working in a secondhand shop for $10 an hour and had an epiphany in the middle of a conversation arguing about a camera lens that i needed to do something more professional/stimulating or id lose my mind i chose to do a degree in IT at a local trade school cos if I worked in computers I figured i could post on the dogsonacid forums and piss about in IRC all day at work and here I am
