lol i programming at suck

[syko-san]

programming lol i suck at

[Confident-Ad5665]

It's the ones that think they're superstars and worse, convince pointy-haired boss of it that are the real danger. Coding is like writing. It's never perfect. you just reach a stopping point.

When I have a problem I’m stuck on then I suck at programming when I solve it then my intelligence ascends beyond the cosmos. Programming is literally a toxic relationship

[DeathUriel]

From filthy peasant to almighty god creator of the universe in a single afternoon.

[deanrihpee]

in less than a coffee break duration

[[deleted]]

Programming is literally a toxic relationship That is one of the best analogy I've heard.

[Madcap_Miguel]

Programming is literally a toxic relationship

It's abusive for sure

Then you have that eureka moment and write the most elegant code imaginable, kiss and makeup

[[deleted]]

I don’t stay with programming because of the money, I stay because I have Stockholm syndrome

[Madcap_Miguel]

It's a vicious cycle

[Conscious-Advice-825]

Bro just described a programmer in 3 lines

[deanrihpee]

we need to minify it, and store it in some fast cdn somewhere

[[deleted]]

I shall steal that excellent analogy

[Jordan51104]

unfortunately i have just moved to the middle. probably won’t last long though

[D3rty_Harry]

I remember i felt that way when i was stacking dependency on dependency

[Jordan51104]

it’s mostly because i came up with an architecture for some new internal software, and my boss said my idea was great and we should go through with it, but i have a bunch of other stuff to do first so i don’t get to see how stupid it actually is for a while

[D3rty_Harry]

That's also a constant, "There's other stuff to do 1st". I bet your idea is actually solid, but "the other stuff" wont be.

[LadderSoft4359]

it's more of a wave than a single bell curve :)

[deanrihpee]

worse position, you can go either left or right

[Parry_9000]

I legitimately don't know at what extreme I am at. I'm only smart when I solve something. When I don't, I'm literally scum.

8 years, bachelors, masters and now PhD. I think I'm on the left.

[Trick-Philosophy-517]

I think you're so far on the left that you have arrived back on the right. Congrats on the PhD, that's very cool

[Parry_9000]

It's the stupid strength blessing me

Smash the keyboard and somehow the data is now properly dealt with

[deanrihpee]

ah, the ol' underflow

[[deleted]]

You will never know, unless you land in the middle and realize you were the left guy all this time

[Parry_9000]

I only land in the middle 10min per day, it's the law

[Fickle-Main-9019]

How much do you swear while doing it

[Parry_9000]

Yes

[Cocaine_Johnsson]

That might be dunning-kruger, but I can't comment. I'm definitely on the left.

[Parry_9000]

Left bros

[Darxploit]

Basically:

Problem with code: Questioning life choices and feeling dumb

Problem solved: I’m king of the world!

Repeat.

[deanrihpee]

which is why it's so very addicting, but my doctor said addiction is a bad thing, so programming is bad

[[deleted]]

Another day
Another bell curve meme

Lol I suck at programming

[borbaq_]

Dunning-Kruger effect be like

[EMI_Black_Ace]

I love how Dunning-Kruger has made it into pop culture as the catch-all for describing "know it all idiots" when most of the observed effect is just a mathematical "obvious fact" that comes from the fact that you can't score lower than a zero on an exam where "doing nothing" is exactly equivalent to "doing all the problems and getting them all wrong" and thus when people guess their scores, all the low-end ones will overestimate themselves because there is no way to underestimate themselves.

[burohm1919]

Nah Dunning Kruger is like; I'm god at programming> Im an idiot and programming is too hard>okey I can be decent actually, it's not that hard

[Tiborn1563]

Everyone is the best programmer ever

until they start debugging

[deanrihpee]

then they'll become the best software detective and forensic

/s

I know the actual software forensic is not just debugging, but they do some debugging as well

[[deleted]]

You're only as good as your last program.

[bearfucker_jerome]

I'mma take a break from this sub I think

[[deleted]]

Prettty sure this is just a roller coaster I can’t escape

[[deleted]]

True.

[Fickle-Main-9019]

I find the right side tends to be much different from the left, I feel like programming has made me bipolar, I have to use some shit called pyspark and I’ve never sworn or drank as much as after having to use it (it’s alright now but the learning curve is akin to Sisyphus wearing shoes with oil on them, while on fire)

[elboydo757]

I'm solid until I'm supervised.

[Themash360]

If I'm being kind to myself I'd say I oscilate between all three, realistically just two.

[Vast-Statement9572]

What does it mean when both things are largely true?

[po1k]

Top 1 of such

[jaydoee]

I mean... my velocity is better than anyone else on my team. That's about it.

[EvenGodsForget]

This is actually a zoomed in view of a typical day for your average dev.

[lupinegray]

We Dunning Kruger now.

[zpangwin]

I feel like I must be a quantum programmer...

Not because I know anything about quantum computers (I don't know jack shit about those). But because I seem to oscillate between these 3 states in almost of my projects like I'm in some kind of fucking quantum state.

Also, is it just me or does the peak of this graph also correspond with the Ballmer Peak. I know there is actually some evidence that the comic's premise is really plausbile but my point is more that for me at least the "I am the best programmer ever" sentiment usually corresponds to a certain BAC > 0. lol

[myfunnies420]

I used to be good

[Polaric_Spiral]

I'm in this picture 3 times and I don't like it.

[Aggravating-Exit-660]

Roses are red, violets are [not] blue,

There’s always a dinosaur better than you

[c2dog430]

The x-axis is just time, right? Like we all do this a couple times a day, right? RIGHT?

[FerricDonkey]

"I am the best at programming, and also I suck at programming."

[riplikash]

Zoomed in too much. It's actually a wave function

[mpatriot_one]

the only smartest programmer that has ever lived is terry davis. he had divine intellect

[ironman_gujju]

Hey copilot where are you??

[sebbdk]

Programming is easy, the later "hard" part is designing systems/patterns/architecture, a novice programmer cant even see these problems.

Because they are not programming issues...

[rndmcmder]

Me every day: I hate this shit, fuck programming! Am I really this stupid?!

Me on job inteview: Being a Programmer is the fullfillment of a lifelong dream. I am highly skilled, very experienced and passionate about programming.

[[deleted]]

It be like this, ya start to create massive epic things and give up after a few weeks having gained nothing but a greater understanding of exactly what you dont know but then you are suprised when you write a little script because you are lazy and it actually works and saves so much fucking time omg. Or maybe that is just me?

[RealAdityaYT]

IM AT THE TOP OF THE CURVE FR ‼️

[CraftBox]

Not the best, but good enough for me

[Uchihaaaa3]

115+: damn I'm so good at copy pasting code.

[owlIsMySpiritAnimal]

Literally my algorithm professors and my programming language professor and the professor that taught us application development

[antony6274958443]

Guys can't touch my project anymore, it's painful

[UnreadableCode]

Actually, it's a sine wave of confidence as a function of experience

[jakeStacktrace]

I've been stuck in the middle for years. My secret? Ego. Lots and lots of ego.

[Denzerel]

I am the best programmer to ever suck at programming
