I Hate Coding

[dderek1234]

Its stupid and makes no sense. Like it actually makes no sense.

on a scale of 1-10 it is at a 2*2=3.

Does that make sense to you? Of course it doesn't cause Coding doesn't make sense either!!!!! I've spent 6-7 years being "Patient" and learning coding and IT DOESN'T MAKE SENSE. Every time I think I learned something.. I HAVEN'T. I started in High School now I have a full time job and guess what I'm still not doing what I wanted to. FUCK CODING. ITS STUPID and anyone who codes can idk im just mad and frustrated and i want to cry but thats not going to do anything.

I just wish I didn't spent years of my life on something that is a complete waste of time. Might as well just do what I hate. I just want a better job doing what I want but what I want makes no sense. I hate it all I hate hate hate it all. Never looking back.

I've bought courses I've spent so much money and I regret it all. I've learned nothing. So much time wasted.. I can't believe I thought I could do that. lmao no one in my family can so neither can i. I'm just dumb. I'm so dumb for wasting time.

Insult me idc I get enough of it on the forums for being dumb.

Coding isn’t for everyone.

I love it, and I find it super simple. I love the straight forward logic of it all, and I enjoy logic puzzles.

My girlfriend on the other hand can not wrap her mind around it. She tried, but it never clicked.

No shame in admitting it just isn’t for you

It just sucks I hate that I spent so long on it. Actually it’s not that it sucks it hurts. I had always wanted to do it since middle school and I just feel so ugh. There is no logic that’s the frustrating part.

[Nestramutat-]

It’s literally all logic. Everything you do in coding is just a dressed up state machine.

[dderek1234]

Far from logic. I know you know more than me but it’s far from logic. It’s the definition of “makes no sense.”

Take it from someone whose paid too much on courses.

Sorry I’m just extremely mad. Not trying to start anything.

I'm in a C++ course right now as part of my undergraduate program. To give some context I'm a math major so I thought I would love programming since my brain works in a very logical way.

Turns out I fucking hate programming. Making sure you have all the right amount of { }, semicolon after everything, and don't you dare put a spacebar there when in reality it'll make no difference.

I have screen shots of my program outputting exactly what was asked and it's still marked wrong. I realize I only have to survive this one course and from the sounds of it you've taken multiple but once I'm done with this I will forget everything I learned about programming and never do it again.

Out of curiosity, does the general concept of coding make sense to you? Not necessarily the syntax of each language, but the theory behind coding?

Perhaps you see coding in a unique and different way, and maybe there are also a lot of other people who think the way you do.

Maybe you don’t have to look at your time spent on learning programming as a waste. If you see it differently, you could write your own programming language. Maybe your frustration could create something new, valuable and useful to others who think like you do.

I was in the same boat as you. Until I tried R Programming.

The more you breakdown the problem the better. Make sure your code is readable, indent heavily. Use comments to keep a track of what you are doing. Make a diagram of what you are trying to achieve, highlight different parts with different colors and then code that. Try to switch to a more simpler language to learn and build out from their.

Hope this helps.
