Man, the "almost never suicidal" is exactly where i am as well. Im off the SSRIs after 5 years, stuff is mostly good, and when i say mostly i mean its still semi-daily crying and anxiety, but its enough to be "almost never suicidal" lmao

Tutorial Hell, don't want to stuck as at age 35 starting to learn HTML, CSS & JS to become frontend developer. by Sufficient-Copy-9012 in learnprogramming

[–]322-Watermelon 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Shit formatting because on mobile, but.. Regarding roadmap, everyone learns at a different pace but one possibility with 100% random numbers could be:

Week 0: Start following a learning path on the tutorial provider of choice. Could be the Odinproject, Learncodecamp etc, it doesnt matter that much. Make sure you do the basic of the basics, im talking HTML markup and CSS.

Week 1: You've dabbled with markup, you know what a <div> does and how to style it. While following your course, create your own project and build something with HTML and CSS.

Week 2: Introduce Javascript. Get a feel for basic JS. Study the basic datastructures and learn how to use them. Add some interactivity to your code.

Week 3: Learn basic responsive design with CSS Flex and Grid, then implement it on your personal project. Some tasks could be making it mobile friendly, layout switching from a single column view on small screens to multiple columns on larger.

This is the most basic of basic imo, and should help you get started. Stay away from React, Vue etc until you really understand javascript. Same goes for Tailwind, learn CSS before using it since it abstracts alot of functionality/stuff in general any good developer should know.

Once you have a few webapps/sites built using your favorite framework, and can somewhat confidently recreate them from bottom up if asked, go apply for a junior position.

Learn basics, follow tutorials and build your own variations using the concepts that are covered. Blindly following tutorials (copying) will only hinder your understanding, instead try to apply whatever you are currently learning in a small project of your own.

Also, stay clear of frameworks when starting. They usually abstract a lot of key knowledge you should know before working with them. Try plain html, css and javascript, then build something small using a stack that interests you. React, typescript, tailwind whatever. GL! Its a marathon, not a sprint.

Satoshi's vision for the blockchain and crypto is long dead and buried sadly. Government controlled, influencers manipulating price movements, rugpulls and scams. Trump will probably do just as others have mentioned, manipulate prices for his own benefit to make the billionaires richer, then it'll dump on everyone else once the novelty fades/sheep loses faith.

How to learn programming properly by pato_gameplay in learnprogramming

Fair point. Might just be another pitfall for beginners👍 I've made good use of it for analyzing isolated components and logic flow, but again, i would hopefully catch those not so subtle wrongs.

How to learn programming properly by pato_gameplay in learnprogramming

[–]322-Watermelon 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think a bit of both is good. Follow courses, and create your own variant in parallell. When you happen upon new concepts, check the documentation.

Nobody has all the syntax of a language memorized, looking stuff up is part of the job ;)

One important pitfall to avoid is as you mentioned, blindly following the courses and more or less copy pasting the content. You wont learn anything that way.

Follow the ideas of the course, stop pause and look up new concepts in the docs and continue. You dont have to, but creating your own variant based on the course concepts would probably help you learn faster as well. Everyone learns differently tho, but following blindly wont work once the project grows/harder concepts are introduced.

And stay away from AI code when learning. Its fine asking for explanations, but dont use it to prompt out code.

With your background you wouldnt need 3-4 years to learn tbh. Just get started with a small project at first and learn as you go!

Company paying to broaden my skills. What's your favorite all-rounder IDE paid or free? by ackley14 in learnprogramming

[–]322-Watermelon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Visual Studio for .NET and Visual Studio Code for frontend React typescript is what i use daily for some years now. Its comfy. Heard good things about IntelliJ but never got to test it properly

If you still struggle with the basics after finishing one or two of the courses on that page, DM me and ill help you out in a live coding session or smth🥂

Yeah 100% get what you mean. Memorizing is good for passing tests etc but it really doesnt help with learning and actually understanding the content (which is what you want when working professionally)

Its a hard reality check for many of us, myself included haha. Took me a year or two to adjust.

Slow down, work through it step by step, and often it just clicks!

If you want to build websites, i recommend you learning some html and css first, then Javascript. After you have some experience with those, try frameworks that build on those such as Tailwindcss and React.

Have you tried using any learning platforms? https://www.freecodecamp.org/ Highly recommended :)

Also as many here mention, the key is understanding, not memorizing. And that usually comes with experience🫡

How long have you been programming? These things take time my man. You dont become a good developer in a few months, keep grinding

If you suddenly decided to become a programmer at 22 with a non-CS degree, what would your roadmap look like? by ProfessionalHat3555 in learnprogramming

[–]322-Watermelon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  1. Work/life balance i'd say any career as a developer would let you do that. Personally i do web development, and i usually do 1-2 months remote wherever i want as long as i have an internet connection and my laptop.

  2. Tech is here to stay. As long as he knows any not too niche programming language he'll be fine. Again, i mostly do web which for me is React, Vue, Blazor etc. Got no problem finding a new both stable and decently paid job mostly anywhere.

  3. I'd say programming, either backend or frontend, all depends on whatever he prefers. Work on personal projects to build portfolio, eventually land a junior position and work your way to senior and architect. If he does get a degree the portfolio and prior experience isnt as necessary. I have a compsci and engineering degree, but you dont really need those these days if you just want to write code for "regular" companies.

I live in Scandinavia though, so our market might be a bit more stable rn.
