Real story: I had gone through a few semesters of software engineering before I had to face up to the facts. Now I work as a cook and I'm much happier, coding just isn't for me.

Most people in ordinary language use exclusive or (xor). "You want the bacon or the eggs?" carries the implication that you can't have both. Computers usually work with inclusive or. You can have both the bacon and the eggs. Wittgenstein invented the truth table because he believed that things don't exist, facts do, or he believed that when he was young. The representation computers have of things is tacked on later bob dobbs is dead fucked around with this message at 17:52 on Jun 30, 2019 |

Settling in to watch the strongly typed boys poo poo their pants in terror at something in javascript like var number = '0'; is it a string, is it a number? Who knows, I'm a terrified child who needs handlebars and I can't be trusted to let types be cast at compile time.

I do a lot of Powershell and stuff in HTML but I'm afraid to dip my toe in the coding waters because I've never met a dev that I haven't despised. That said I'm moving my career away from systems and towards more devops poo poo, so I really don't have much of a choice.

The important thing about the logic stuff is that it forces you to understand that the world doesn't care about you. So computer programming is just translating that to the fact that the computer doesn't care about you and dealing with it You need a plan for your mental health before going into computers for a living, just like any profession that revolves around not being cared about

I loving nope'd right out of programming in college because it was a dumb online course and later on my comp sci teacher, who was actually a pretty accomplished programmer, told me basically "yeah those online coding courses basically set you up to fail, you should have taken my cool kids in-person class on how to start programming." Instead I went into networking and basic computer repair because I figured out my stupid monkey brain prefers touching computers to looking at software. Still, if this thread does turn out to have good stuff in it, I'm game to learn.

I would agree, but it takes all sorts and to some people programming itself is frustrating and unfun and they would rather do anything else. Strange as it may seem.

Ape Fist posted:There's no such thing as a full stack developer just FYI. There are people who are willing and able to jump all over the stack, and they’re often a joy to work with because they often have more agency over their software environment. I’ve always aspired in that direction, because being able to debug or analyze performance from kernel to language runtime to utility library to storage engine to browser runtime to animation library to business logic...it’s really freeing. I don’t think you need to understand how the kernel manages mappings in order to be a successful and happy programmer, or that Kids These Days are worse at their jobs because they never had to write their own malloc, but a lot of problems, especially performance ones, are not at a predictable layer and being able to follow them through multiple stacks goes a long way. Specialization is valuable at least in decent time chunks because context matters, and once the system doesn’t fit in one person’s head it’s natural to split responsibility by technology type. Most people who aren’t on a team of less than 5 for the whole product don’t jump stack layers on a single task very much in my experience.

Don't bother with Powershell it'll never catch on. Better to stick with VbScript, it is proven technology. Also make sure to continue to use apps hungarian notation, it is very important to do this.
