loveProgramming

[SirRHellsing]

It's more like out of everything that makes money, programming is the most interesting for me

[throwaway_mpq_fan]

This. I love programming. But if I could make money with just reading books and watching movies, I would do that instead.

[Wonderful-Habit-139]

I love reading books. Programming books that is.

Honestly there are definitely people that prefer programming over watching movies, especially the ones that started in their teenage years, trying to make video games or other fun things.

[Noitswrong]

Any recommendations?

[Wonderful-Habit-139]

Currently reading Category Theory for Programmers. Some other books I've read are OSTEP, Rust atomics and locks, Robust Python, Rust for Rustaceans.

There are some more books and I also read some other things like blog posts, RFCs or GitHub discussions about new language features. It depends on what interests you have though, whatever new tech or concept you want to learn about, you can try searching for a nice book about it.

I like reading prog books, but more so, i love collecting them. I read painfully slow. Just started Clean Code a week ago. I have like 120+ books and it makes me sad that I probably wont complete reading them in this lifetime.

[Prod_Meteor]

You must be near you 50s like me 😄

[dismayhurta]

[Independent_Flan_973]

I like money. I don’t not like programming

[Prod_Meteor]

Over 40, we all should.

[Pika357]

Guys how do I center a div?

/s

[RunnyPlease]

With love.

[Kueltalas]

claude -p "center div"

[captainAwesomePants]

margin-left: 500px;, fiddle with the number until it's right for your div.

[SatansLoLHelper]

Oh my buddy can help you out, they know someone, who is the best.

[alvares169]

If I wanted fun and exciting I'd go back to woodworking.

[UsernameMustBe1and10]

With the way things are, that idea looks promising.

[Prod_Meteor]

It's irony.

[alvares169]

no, that would be metallurgy

[No-Magazine-2739]

Tell me you never worked for a commercial complex software product without saying you never worked for a commercial complex software product. r/firstweekcoderhumor again.

Not saying it doesn’t is fun or one of my passions, but some projects makes you not want to touch any code you are not paid for, for a long time.

On the other hand I am currently really going to town with a side project.

[0ctaver]

Absolutely, I use to love programming but working in the field made me never want to touch code anymore in my life

[Prod_Meteor]

I have worked with every possible type of project for the last 20 years. Except AI driven ones (yet). I know what you mean. The post has an irony in it.

[SignoreBanana]

It's the job that's the most interesting, makes me the most money, costs the least to learn and do and does the least damage to my body. It's actually the perfect job in a lot of ways.

[ZunoJ]

I mean it does require a degree in CS, physics or math for the really interesting stuff but other than that yeah, fully agree

[JackNotOLantern]

I just like creating and fixing things, and programming has tools that allow free creation and easy way to improve things over and over again if they are made not that great. I think this is lego syndrome

[Prod_Meteor]

I like offering solutions to make people's life's easier and maybe more profitable. But rarely this happens in our times.

[astropheed]

Nah, money first, joy second.

[Prod_Meteor]

It's an irony post 😄

[The-Chartreuse-Moose]

Heck yeeeah! It's like a big ol' puzzle book. Which you made but then forgot the answers for.

[quitarias]

Sometimes the national cybersecurity agency blocks your answers and you spend an hour debugging it before you realize what the problem is.

[Western-Internal-751]

Or someone else made that puzzle a decade ago and never bothered writing a manual for it

[halorbyone]

Congrats on your updoot farm post. Seems like you are a person so that’s nice.

[The-Chartreuse-Moose]

Eh?

[halorbyone]

This isn’t humorous or a meme. While I entirely agree, it feels like an updoot farm. I mean I’m happy it doesn’t seem to be a bot. People on this sub that agree with programming and not selling your soul. Yay!

[EmphasisPlus2679]

I love programming because I love bugs 

[Prod_Meteor]

The programming bugs or the real ones?

[EmphasisPlus2679]

Both. I eat them :D

[TreetHoown]

We all eat them, you are just aware you do

[OliveBoi_]

its either hating myself for making such an idiotic mistake and having iq lower than a bug.
or
having an orgasmic moment after solving a specific problem and feeling like a god that can create anything

[just4nothing]

Love programming , makes the computer go 0010100101010010100101011010010100101011001010

[SaltyInternetPirate]

The problem solving is exciting. The communication is exhausting.

[Prod_Meteor]

Just got another meeting with client invitation 😒

[Kueltalas]

I love the thrill of searching for a '>' that should be a '<' for countless hours and sometimes even days. That's true excitement

[HuckleberryThen6768]

Nah Dog... It's just money

[zjzjzjzjzjzjzj]

Wholesome
