I'm autistic and I don't enjoy it

>>18833442
same. I don't get the appeal with the programming meme, especially all the constantly changing frameworks. learn one thing you have to learn another, so gay

>>18833411
Been learning to code over the lockdown. I'm starting with web development and likely will move into programming.

- Torrent the web development bootcamp from uDemy. The one taught by Angela Yu. It's really good and through, and long. I've been doing it everyday.

- Download Sololearn for your phone. When you have a few minutes shitting, review the lessons. Drill the syntaxes into your head.

- Talk to friends who have learned. They are great motivators, and most like having somebody else to talk nerd shit with.

This. I'm smart and know the basics of programming. But I'm expected to know java, javascript, html, css, c, python and then a bunch of frameworks like django on top, along with 30 years experience when I'm in my 20's to get considered for a job. Fuck that.

>>18833494
fuck off dude. nobody expects you to have 30 years xp. Also it's not hard to swap between languages most of the time as long as you can remember syntax.

>what is purposely exaggerating for effect
goddamn you really are autistic huh

Follow YouTube project tutorials step by step and then you’ll get accustomed to it and learn as you go and be able to apply that knowledge to your own projects/work etc

>>18833411
Oh what I do is treat it like a puzzle. Think about when you tear something apart to see how it works. That’s what I do with some else’s code but I try to put it back together in my own way. If it doesn’t work why?
I look it up? Just like most of my computer problems.
Also look up coding classes. More things to solve/assignments and they’ll give you resources and they tend to have GitHubs and LinkedIns. Lectures tend to be boring but again, it’s more to solve and get your brain going.
A lot of it is like wierd grammar and some is just copy and pasting with some your own tweaks that you need to make it work.

For some babysteps try html or css. Maybe do a mockup program to get a good feel of how core is laid out base how place things

>>18833605
I also like programming, so probably yes

>>18833411
just be very stubborn. if something doesn't work i will sit there for as long as it takes to make it work. see it as a challenge to you specifically.

>>18833411
Here’s a course on html
https://www.coursera.org/learn/html/home/welcome
Html is what kids used to play with only to edit thier homepages on neopets and MySpace.
Now coursera is one of those bogus free trail but put your card in shit. But just cancel it when your done.
It should only take you a day to do this class, a week max

I can code but video games are more fun. To level up my coding skills I had to get rid of my ps4 and uninstall steam. Then my gf wanted to play ps4 with me and ruined my coding time, so I broke up with her.

>>18833474
Stop that shit nigga
Download a compiler, open the Dokumentation site of a language and think of a project you want to realize
>web development
As far as i know thats even more pajeet than the rest

>>18833844
Code a girlfriend from python

>>18833957
Oddly web dev sort of in demand along with ui.
I actually been having people in LinkedIn interested in me. Though we meet before the pandemic.
Though because of it the have to keep on pushing off the position so I’ve been adding more coding to my arsenal while I’m waiting for thier office to reopen

>>18833411
You're already not going to make it. They are teaching 9 year olds to code in elementary school. You think you stand a chance against them in 12 years in a competitive job market?

>>18834180
I and many people started learning to code with RuneScape private servers at 12 but took a different career path

>>18834180
Networking makes a big difference. I’ve seen some sad, really unfair examples.

>>18833463
you only need to learn javascript and the general design patterns, the framework is irrelevant

>>18834065
Dunno with ui and web dev the most important thing is to design a good and efficient layout, or a super shit manipula layout when you try to sell stuff
Thats not the typical codeautist work
>most German universities fail at this completely lol, worst layouts i know
but you can do this without being able to code, you can do it in ms paint if needed and let the rest do some pajeet
I guess if you are good at design and programming there is a place for you

>>18833957
If you are starting from scratch and don't enjoy coding, downloading a complier, reading documentation, and thinking you are going to build something great isn't likely.

>>18833494
Experience is mostly HR bullshit. If you know concepts and enough syntax, have good projects on your portfolio (this is the most important part), and aren't a sociopath (unlikely since you're on biz), then you can get a job.

>>18834852
>have good projects on your portfolio (this is the most important part)
Where do you build your portfolio? Github? Your own website? Can you just list it on your resume and then show them?

>>18834729
it's honestly a mix of experience between knowing customers/clients who are illiterate with computers and helping them navigate and good explaining processes online, a bit of knowing color theory, good research skills, and relearning some code when I was a kid.

I'm still relearning babby's first coding and my alignment and coloring is still a bit off from you can still see from my last dummy text assignment https://xtha99.github.io/mod3/
There's some stuff I really need to polish

>>18833463
Not autistic nor do I code for a job. Learned coding so I could make video games. No intention of using it to get a job in coding. Like I'm going to learn 10+ languages just to earn 40k a year.

>>18833494
Another anon aware if this. Most people probably get rejected by a computer and don't even get an interview.

>>18833411

Learning to code is like learning to draw or paint or do photography. It’s one this to know the technical stuff but being able to apply creativity (which can’t be taught) is the key. Anybody can learn anything, it’s fucking easy, just read a fucking book, but to be able to take that knowledge and do something special with it. That is invaluable and what separates rich men from poor men.

>>18835944
yeah, thats why it's best to try to do the most personal approach possible. Even if you don't get hired you can stick out a bit a person's brain. Make sure if you can do a cover letter do it and make least genetic as possible.

If it's not a bot but HR reading you resume and cover letter, it's like the 30th... 50th one? Why the fuck should he care about yours and not add it the scrap? give the reasons, make your's wake him the fuck up

>>18833463
Because its good money & minimal effort (once you get your head around it). That's it, I don't like it, but it's better than anything else I've tried.

>>18833411
> i do not understand this
> i do not understand that

you are a midwit
find something else

t. bachelors in CS, masters in AI

>>18833411
Fuck off, we're full

>>18833494
Yup, just lie about it. If you know one OOP and C you can learn any type of code(assembly excluded), but at the end of the day it’s just using pre built classes.

>>18836155
>bachelors in CS, masters in AI
you're scum and can't do actual math

>>18833411
I consider coding like art,
and like art, when im pressed to do it I seize up.

>>18834823
If you dont enjoy coding you should leave it to pajeet
>Dont get me wrong i just know the basics to get some stuff running, but i know where to read more, also the best way to learn is build more and more complex projects
A friend of mine works in cs (non degree) and makes around 10€/h , plus taxes and forced state pension he will never see shit off
He says he enjoys the work tho
>>18835901
Would be nice if one could close the search menu through clicking the menubutton again

>>18836522
oh good idea, I should implement that and look up to toggle that. Would make it less in mobile users face if they decide to click it. Thanks man.

>>18833411
Hang out on /g/ long enough. You will get all the autism you will ever need

>>18836299
Based dubs

Do it with someone else. Solo will destroy you.

>>18833411
Everyone hates it probably except hackers who make bank

>>18833411
You're not supposed to enjoy it. The most anyone can do is enjoy the end result. It's like any job, a lot of struggle, a lot of pain, and a lot of people trying to fuck you over paying next to nothing.

>>18837884
Kinda true.

At the end of the day, it's just another job. But also, some people actually enjoy coding. I do. Not all projects are cool, but sometimes I enjoy the puzzle and the challenge. At least I'd rather code than do other shit like marketing or HR or accounting. For spergs like me, it's a nice way of life

>>18837933
Marketing probably has more upside than coding, on average, and HR probably is a lot easier.

>>18837948
But then, in marketing, you gotta deal with clients as well as other marketing bros.

Under the rock here in dev, it's so comfy. Plus it's not exactly starvation wage.

>>18836155
>>18836181
>gatekeeping coding

just imagine

>>18836600
/g/ is unironically cancer, people will literally tell you to kill yourself if you ask for advice on coding

>>18833411
Make some app for yourself like how many times did you fart today or an app to scrape and compare data from the market, or something else that could serve you.

>>18833494
if you were actually smart you'd put all of that in your resume in white font color so it gets past the resume filter you retard

>>18834553
This.

I've been out of college for a year, I was hired while still in school through a job fair at my uni. Fast forward to the next year and I came back representing my company at the same fair. I was blown away by the sheer autism of some of these students. I talked with people who were clearly smarter than me and had loads of interesting experience to boot, clearly more technically capable than myself when I was in their shoes a year ago.... but they just couldn't talk! It was just sad man, it really is 10% paper accolades 90% being able to sell yourself and not shit the bed.
