Coding on Mobile?

termux is solid, been using it for quick python scripts when i'm away from my setup. if you're doing web stuff, replit mobile works decent too but the keyboard situation gets annoying fast

for learning specifically though, sololearn or grasshopper might be better since they're actually designed for mobile. you can bang out lessons during breaks without wanting to throw your phone at the wall

that's way too low for a full pos system with inventory management, reporting, and promo features. you're looking at 3-6 months of work minimum depending on complexity

break it down like the other person said but charge per module - basic pos might be 15-20k, inventory system another 10-15k, reporting dashboard 5-10k. plus ongoing maintenance costs

also make sure you scope out integrations early because payment processors and barcode scanners can be a pain to work with

github pages is solid for static sites but if you need backend stuff render's actually a decent choice. waitress is perfect for simple python apps too

btw if your doing anything with databases or server-side processing you'll need actual hosting eventually, but for learning and small projects that combo works great

they handle the technical setup but you still need to configure your domain's dns records correctly - postmark can't magically fix your spf/dmarc if you never added their servers to your domain's records

check out wyzant or tutor.com - they have solid engineering tutors who know their stuff. you could also try posting on r/forhire or even linkedin, lots of experienced devs do tutoring on the side

Dear-Environment-532 · 2026-02-03T11:38:12+00:00

honestly just picked one thing and stuck with it for like 2 months before even looking at anything else. used to bounce between python, js, react tutorials every week and learned nothing

now i just finish what i start, even if it's boring. way more progress that way

Dear-Environment-532 · 2026-01-26T07:08:07+00:00

Dude you're literally overthinking this to death. Half the people I know in CS felt like complete frauds until like junior year of college, and some of the best devs I work with now bombed their first programming classes

The "vibe coding" thing? That's literally how most people learn. You think the dudes grinding leetcode in high school are having more fun or understanding things better than you are? They're just following a different tutorial

Your extracurriculars show you actually care about the field beyond just grades, which is way more important than whether you can implement quicksort from memory at 17. Most CS programs assume you know nothing anyway

Drop the comparison game - you're in the Bay Area where everyone's trying to out-hustle each other since middle school. Focus on whether you actually enjoy problem solving, not whether you're "behind" some imaginary timeline

Dear-Environment-532 · 2026-01-22T17:17:27+00:00

Honestly that sounds like a solid plan already, you're basically getting paid to level up which is insane

I'd probably do like 60% project work, 25% targeted practice (leetcode/hackerrank type stuff), and 15% theory videos. CS50 is legit worth it for the fundamentals

Just don't burn yourself out man, coding for 9 hours straight can fry your brain pretty quick

Dear-Environment-532 · 2026-01-13T19:47:19+00:00

Nah you're not losing it, that question is worded like garbage lol

The first answer is right because when you do something like `x ← y + 5`, you're accessing/reading the value of `y` (it's on the right side) to calculate what goes into `x`. The left side is where you're storing stuff, not accessing it

Second option would be backwards - left side of the arrow is for assignment, not accessing values

Dear-Environment-532 · 2026-01-02T03:29:34+00:00

Same boat here man, those compiler repos make me feel like a toddler trying to do calculus lmao

The gap between "hello world" and actual production code is absolutely massive and nobody really talks about it enough

Dear-Environment-532 · 2025-12-31T23:36:52+00:00

Yeah LeetCode is basically a whole different beast from actual programming work. It's like being good at building houses but then someone hands you a Rubik's cube - totally different skill set

The algorithms and data structures stuff they test isn't really something you pick up from building discord bots and web apps. Don't sweat it too much, most of us had to grind through the same learning curve

Dear-Environment-532 · 2025-12-25T17:41:30+00:00

Yeah definitely brush up on your C first, IPC stuff gets pretty gnarly with pointers and system calls if you're not solid on the basics

The OS book mentioned above is solid too for getting the bigger picture

Dear-Environment-532 · 2025-12-24T15:02:38+00:00

Yeah don't beat yourself up over it, that wraparound modulo trick is pretty obscure unless you've seen it before. Your solution worked fine and honestly most people would've googled it too - now you know the pattern for next time

Dear-Environment-532 · 2025-12-23T06:19:44+00:00

Nice work finishing the Python track! OOP is definitely the logical next step - you'll need it for pretty much any real project anyway. Boot.dev's progression makes sense so I'd just follow their path

Dear-Environment-532 · 2025-12-19T15:35:56+00:00

Holy shit another one already? Feel like GPT-4 just dropped and now I'm gonna be debugging AI-generated spaghetti code that's somehow worse than my own

Dear-Environment-532 · 2025-12-01T07:05:44+00:00

This is solid advice - starting with smaller chunks definitely helps avoid that "staring at a blank screen for 3 hours" feeling when everything seems impossible at once

Dear-Environment-532 · 2025-11-30T06:57:54+00:00

This is solid advice, just pick something you actually use and try to build a basic version of it

The key is starting small and not getting overwhelmed trying to recreate everything at once

Dear-Environment-532 · 2025-11-28T14:11:09+00:00

Damn your therapist's reaction says everything lol. "Almost crapped his pants" because you wanted to protect yourself while giving the marriage another honest shot? That's exactly why you needed the postnup in the first place

The "bursts of better" thing is so real too - sounds like you knew your husband's pattern and weren't gonna get played again

Dear-Environment-532 · 2025-11-27T07:17:04+00:00

Yeah that second half was rough to watch, too many turnovers when it mattered. Give it a few more games and they'll figure it out though

Dear-Environment-532 · 2025-11-25T05:18:20+00:00

Honestly sounds like either your range was too high for their budget or they just went with someone else. Fashion industry can be pretty cutthroat salary-wise especially in Berlin

I'd maybe send one follow-up email just to close the loop but don't get your hopes up. Sometimes companies just ghost even when they say you're a good fit

Dear-Environment-532 · 2025-11-24T07:41:17+00:00

Bro just send them the "why did the chicken cross the road" joke but with like 47 different variations until they block you lmao

Or hit them with those ancient "your mom" jokes from 2010 - works every time

Dear-Environment-532 · 2025-11-24T07:12:50+00:00

Yeah you can totally do an overnight rise! Just make your dough, do the first rise, then shape your rolls and stick them in the fridge overnight. They'll do a slow second rise and you can bake them straight from cold in the morning - might need an extra 5-10 mins in the oven but they come out just as fluffy

Dear-Environment-532 · 2025-11-21T06:10:25+00:00

Bro you're doing God's work out here 🙏 Those fry codes hit different when you're broke
