problem solver

2019-02-09 17:10:12 UTC  

Anyway, I just anted to drop in to say hello. I'll let you guys hang out and I'll definitely drop in sometime soon! You all have a good day

2019-02-09 17:10:16 UTC  

i just do it cos it's fun

2019-02-09 17:10:22 UTC  

but i thought it was a good investment too

2019-02-09 17:10:44 UTC  

The difference is huge if you work alongside senior developers for a while

2019-02-09 17:11:06 UTC  

so wouldnt that mean learning it is important?

2019-02-09 17:11:54 UTC  

So some senior developer could write something short, re-usable and efficient in maybe 30 minutes. A junior developer might spend an entire week doing the same thing, while making a complete mess out of it that cannot be re-used, or extended easily. Things like that add up. It's up to efficiency and knowing what you can and can't do.

2019-02-09 17:12:22 UTC  

yeah - so how would you train that?

2019-02-09 17:12:29 UTC  

make more stuff?

2019-02-09 17:12:38 UTC  

and be conscious of where to improve

2019-02-09 17:12:40 UTC  

No... study design patterns and SOLID programming principles.

2019-02-09 17:12:43 UTC  

and add to your own library of tools

2019-02-09 17:12:45 UTC  

Or look at open source projects?

2019-02-09 17:13:07 UTC  

that's what i thought

2019-02-09 17:13:46 UTC  

Looking at well-structured code makes me warm inside. Just look up how to write generic classes and functions (C# is perfect for this!)

2019-02-09 17:13:52 UTC  

design patterns are template that cover a large scope of problems?

2019-02-09 17:14:06 UTC  

that's what i do now but at a basic level

2019-02-09 17:14:14 UTC  

very basic

2019-02-09 17:14:24 UTC  

i have my own library i'm building up

2019-02-09 17:14:33 UTC  

Sort of yeah. Everybody "should" know them and they make it easier for someone else to understand the structure of your code. These patterns also make it easier to add things to your code without breaking it.

2019-02-09 17:14:48 UTC  

how did oyu learn these things

2019-02-09 17:14:56 UTC  

i'm going to study CS so will that be taught ?

2019-02-09 17:15:07 UTC  

I think so yeah

2019-02-09 17:15:18 UTC  

@shadowlessnexus do you study design patterns and SOLID programming principles.

2019-02-09 17:15:33 UTC  

yea.

2019-02-09 17:15:34 UTC  

i did

2019-02-09 17:15:48 UTC  

cool

2019-02-09 17:16:25 UTC  

Any good resources to understand OOP principles?

2019-02-09 17:16:30 UTC  

^

2019-02-09 17:16:45 UTC  

Couldn't get my head around that how much I tried.

2019-02-09 17:17:01 UTC  

r u in school edgy?

2019-02-09 17:17:22 UTC  

@EdgyEcchis Youtube. OOP is the thing you should start with.

2019-02-09 17:17:30 UTC  

roko what trait has contributed the most to ur financial success

2019-02-09 17:17:32 UTC  

ppl uno?

2019-02-09 17:18:33 UTC  

@JDB Never settling for what you have. The grass is always greener if you keep walking. Also, taking calculated risks and networking helps.

2019-02-09 17:18:40 UTC  

Actually..networking is the biggest one.

2019-02-09 17:18:48 UTC  

have you found fulfilment

2019-02-09 17:18:56 UTC  

The industry is so fucked. People really only pay the big bucks to friends or friends of friends.

2019-02-09 17:19:23 UTC  

No, not at all. I'm too rich and different from others to understand them.

2019-02-09 17:19:45 UTC  

so you would find fulfilment through relationships?
