I work in a school

Ah

Nice

I’m potentially going to become a comp sci teacher

It’s why I got a job in a school

Go for it, dude

To test the water before I go for it

Whether you're support or not, you're still using comp-sci subjects in your day to day job. Depending on person and their job of course.

I've worked in computers most of my life even without a degree

It helps me occasionally but the bulk of my work I learnt on the job

^

Isn't that the case for coders as well?

My degree didn’t teach me to deploy policies via group policy

But it does help me when I’m fixing python for the comp sci teacher

Depends on what you're doing.

Being a good programmer is about adopting the right problem solving mindset.

Languages come and go but breaking down problems into simple algorithms is the most important skill

There quite a few high level programming classes that don't involve programming literal code

I haven’t done any real coding in 6 years, I can still read it so I get by

@brownin `If you’re actually using it for coding, is 8GB enough?`
definitely

IDEs don't take that much ram

..as hard as they might be trying..

well i did point out they're trying

Atom is rape, but i really like it

it not only eats RAM but it cause windowing glitches with other programs running OpenGL

i use its Teletype feature for coding on garbage kitchen computer but saving to my main PC

@Tero when I was at uni I would never only have a code editor open, I would also have unity or UDK, photoshop, numerous chrome tabs plus I would then be running the code to test. All this together easily eats more than 8GB

well that's not just actually using it for coding

IDE is maybe a few hundred meg if it's bloated af out of all that other stuff

Well would you only code on the laptop then transfer it to another machine to do the rest? 😅

I suppose I am talking about making a map and not just a small program

fucking mongs

Well it wouldnt be mancity as they have no fans

imagine not using a password manager

my password manager automatically picks at random from the list of most-common passwords so i always get easy to remember ones 😃
