I cant send you a link

2018-11-15 00:11:40 UTC  

Let me pm you

2018-11-15 00:12:14 UTC  

OK The two oldest semesters here have assignments, homeworks, lectures, exams etc...

2018-11-15 00:12:26 UTC  

It goes into PHP towards the end

2018-11-15 00:12:35 UTC  

dude i have so many friends coming straight outta uni claiming to know all of web dev, java, c++, php, ruby and all that shit but have no personal projects --- without personal projects you can't really put on ur cv you know a language right?

2018-11-15 00:12:36 UTC  

but it covers most of what you need and has solutions to check with.

2018-11-15 00:12:48 UTC  

Oh you can

2018-11-15 00:12:53 UTC  

ye I can cook the less I need other the better

2018-11-15 00:12:54 UTC  

But projects are better.

2018-11-15 00:13:31 UTC  

Its like saying 'I can speak chinese' vs saying 'wo3 hui2 shuo1 han4yu3'

2018-11-15 00:13:48 UTC  

There are two golden rules.

2018-11-15 00:13:54 UTC  

1. Do

2018-11-15 00:14:00 UTC  

2. Ask

2018-11-15 00:14:12 UTC  

@JDB yea schools teach you good but they don't really have good projects in my experience. You gotta make your own projects

2018-11-15 00:14:19 UTC  

1 = practice, try, fuck up and learn.

2018-11-15 00:14:46 UTC  

2 = even if you have been doing this 30 years you will routinely look up the most basic shit. Get good at it.

2018-11-15 00:15:13 UTC  

Just today I had to verify that JS for getting the text from an submitted input box was .value and not .innerHTML

2018-11-15 00:16:02 UTC  

@shadowlessnexus i'm considering going to university to study computer science purely because the idea of following a set curriculum with like minded people seems appealing to me - yeah i found that too

2018-11-15 00:16:27 UTC  

@Kragt r u a software engineer?

2018-11-15 00:16:42 UTC  

I mean it's pretty good. Im in a small college cause it's cheaper. But you gotta do some stuff on your own

2018-11-15 00:16:45 UTC  

I'm a uni students.

2018-11-15 00:16:49 UTC  

Skip uni.

2018-11-15 00:17:01 UTC  

Yea i wouldnt go to a big uni for this

2018-11-15 00:17:05 UTC  

You are better just coding than getting a degree.

2018-11-15 00:17:13 UTC  

And online tutorials are better than most professors.

2018-11-15 00:17:13 UTC  

is coding good ?

2018-11-15 00:17:20 UTC  

Small college... Depends. But you can do this on your own.

2018-11-15 00:17:33 UTC  

It is good for getting paid son

2018-11-15 00:17:42 UTC  

It's fun. I like it.

2018-11-15 00:17:47 UTC  

Derek Banas is godly for learning Java, and if you want to do advanced shit try Siraj Raval

2018-11-15 00:18:01 UTC  

ok but what do i learn

2018-11-15 00:18:10 UTC  

theres like 100 languages

2018-11-15 00:18:13 UTC  

I hate it, but I am too far into it to get out now. (I graduate next semster) so I am just gonna swap my masters to teaching.

2018-11-15 00:18:16 UTC  

the thing with coding is that, as @Happy Humble Hermit said, does working as a software developer bring anything close to the level of enjoyment you get from creating you own proejcts?

2018-11-15 00:18:25 UTC  

It does not.

2018-11-15 00:18:36 UTC  

I hate it when I don't do it for myself.

2018-11-15 00:18:47 UTC  

i felt the same way @Kragt

2018-11-15 00:18:51 UTC  

But it pays really well if you get the right knowledge.

2018-11-15 00:19:12 UTC  

i made the decision to switch majors after finding mgtow and realizing i dont need the stem salary if im not getting married or having children

2018-11-15 00:19:14 UTC  

how flexible is it ?

2018-11-15 00:19:26 UTC
