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

There are two golden rules.

1. Do

2. Ask

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

1 = practice, try, fuck up and learn.

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

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

@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

@Kragt r u a software engineer?

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

I'm a uni students.

Skip uni.

Yea i wouldnt go to a big uni for this

You are better just coding than getting a degree.

And online tutorials are better than most professors.

is coding good ?

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

It is good for getting paid son

It's fun. I like it.

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

ok but what do i learn

theres like 100 languages

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.

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?

It does not.

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

i felt the same way @Kragt

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

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

how flexible is it ?

like are you going to the office everyday

I want stem so I can work less and make more

@legendpinnen It depends on what you want to do with coding. If you want to work on games you might want to learn C# (the language of Unity game engine) or Python if you want to do machine learning.

That's just my preference really tho

if im doing coding it will probably be for games.

how old are you @legendpinnen

@Happy Humble Hermit Same, I just realized too late that I would be more fulfilled teaching and it is literally faster to finish and then get a masters than to swap majors. I really have been wanting to ask you about your experiences with getting your degree and the system though. So I can know what I am getting into. (I plan to get certified and then teach abroad though.)

is it shallow to want to learn stuff in order to work at one of the big 4? i love making my own projects but the amount of pride i'd hold myself with working at somewhere like amazon or google would be awwesome

that's one of the reasons i want to go to uni
