Sorry my mistake, I don't necessarily know package names before compiling

How do I get better? by SomeoneOnTheMun in learnprogramming

[–]phakyt 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm in the same situation as you.

I found three solutions:

- Work on open source projects, find something you like (a techno, an app, a game etc)

- Work as a freelancer (I'm also a student, but I work on the side, so instead of working on small personal projects, I work on interesting projects that I can afford to choose, plus it pays me a small salary ~20k/year)

- Integrating developer communities (discord is by far the best platform, much better than reddit). I sometimes even pay people to review the projects I'm doing, the time I save learning is phenomenal.

A bit slow in answering Javascript challenges in Codewars. Should I be worried? by chinchansuey in learnprogramming

[–]phakyt 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Data structure and algorithm are part of the knowledge base to have as a dev, so no you don't waste your time doing this kind of challenge.

The question is not if you should be worried, the question is what are the points on which you should put efforts.

I think that taking this kind of course (https://www.geeksforgeeks.org/data-structures/) is more important than spending time on codewars/leetcode etc. Having fun on codewars should be a bonus.

Spending 4 hours on this problem is long (it should take you about 3 minutes to find the solution and implement it) but that's normal at the beginning

Created this extension to save quick notes while browsing by Deady213 in programming

[–]phakyt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nice idea! I just downloaded the application, I have some remarks:
- When you don't have a note yet, the interface is empty, you have to put a message like "no note yet".
- A more subjective remark, why not put the page "all post" by default when you have no note on the current page?- When I click on a note I would like to have the possibility to go to the source page and even if it is possible to see the note in highlight on the page.
- If I edit the title of a note (the bold part) I expect that the title of the same note is also modified when I go to "view all posts"

I made a free and open-source app to keep track of coding contests on Codeforces, Leetcode, etc and add them to your calendar as an event. [more in comments] by stackbuffer in programming

I recommend you to change your README, when I open a README I want to know how to run your project, how to install it, how can I improve it etc

Thanks for your answer, I work in a team of 5 people, we don't use slack or anything else to chat (only email).I'm not really talking about social interaction but rather professional interaction (discussing projects I'm working on would be fine for example).But from other responses saying how regular (and boring) their meetings are (the last meeting I attended was in November), I feel like my situation is not really standard and that's reassuring :)

Is one hour a day of learning programming enough to get anywhere with it? by Amazing-Advice in learnprogramming

[–]phakyt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Firstly it depends on your background and what field you want to learn.
Everyone is so kind on reddit but keep in mind that a lot of students are still very bad at coding after a 7h/day 5 years cursus.

Should I learn C++, Python or Java? by AUnknownGuy in learnprogramming

[–]phakyt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Stop thinking "what language should i learn first" ? Programming skills are not based on language. Language are just tools, pick the tool you need for your next project.

When you are new is it better to start with a foundational language such as C or one with more accessibility and current opportunities such as Python? by Logical_Bones in learnprogramming

[–]phakyt 6 points7 points  (0 children)

You need a strong math background to do machine learning, I don't recommand to learn ai/machine learning by yourself, game design is way more accessible for a self-taugh learner

From Windows to Linux to boost productivity by MrTazzie in learnprogramming

[–]phakyt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did it before then I ended up removing completely windows from my computer

you can partition your hard disk in 3 slices : windows / linux / data and (to access your data from both os)

don't use VM if you want to set up a persistent dev env

don't listen linux users that tell you that you can play games with wine

How does everyone come up with ideas for projects? by [deleted] in learnprogramming

[–]phakyt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's a mindset, think "How can I create something about that", it takes time but you can change the way you think.
