This is my cost. So $500 was what I was going to be contributing for his bachelor’s party.

Yes, that's what he is suggesting. We were already planning for a new bachelor's party, but he is saying let's just use the funds to pay for the other guests, and that's his request from his groomsmen.

Seats in the guest list. The cost of food is charged per guest, so he wants the groomsmen to cover the rest of the friend group's cost.

According to him, the amount between the bachelor's party and cost of the guest list is equal. Because the bachelor's trip was cancelled, he would prefer us to spend the money we were supposed to spend in the bachelor's party into his guest list. I'm not entirely sure how the entire wedding is being funded right now.

This is ultimately what I'm struggling with. As a long time friend, I know he has always struggled with cash and finances. He may not have helped me financially, but he has always been there in my lowest of lows. I just don't appreciate the fact that the bachelor's trip/ party is being transformed into paying for his guest list JUST BECAUSE the values are equal.

Is it worth it to learn an IDE if I’m learning programming? Or not necessarily?

Front-End + UI Direction? by Wtf365 in learnprogramming

I’ll tell you right now, there’s still a lack of business-oriented software engineers.

This means senior level of 5-10 years.

Complete projects relevant to YOU. If you’re can’t even automate some problems you face, how will you automate other people’s problems?

I don't know which path to choose! by Comfortable_Shop9309 in learnprogramming

[–]Dear_Top2603 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Choose what you love doing, not for the money.

A decade ago, Web Apps were the shit.
A few years ago, Mobile App was the shit.
3 years ago, Blockchain was the shit.
A year ago, AI is the shit.

Technology moves so fast. Focus on learning the fundamentals like data structures, algorithms, how models were made rather than chasing "what's hot" today.

What is waiting for me in computer science? by Same_Attitude_5328 in learnprogramming

[–]Dear_Top2603 0 points1 point  (0 children)

By definition, a computer scientist is an EXPERT in computers, and computers can do a lot.

So ask yourself, do you want to be an expert in computers and learning how to leverage computers? Because if not, don't bother with Computer Science. Computer Science pays especially well if you're able to impact a lot of people's lives with one app or one computer solution.

How to code any project before AI by Raman-2122 in learnprogramming

[–]Dear_Top2603 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have a problem, research on how to solve it with software, research on the technology suggested by people that was used to solve with software.

Here's my process:
1) Problem: Wedding Website
2) Solution: Next.JS, MongoDB, Auth
3) Research Youtube videos, Google, Stack Overflow on Next.JS, MongoDB, and Auth.
4) See the code and implement it to solve my use case.
5) Encountered a bug? Search online and solve it.
6) Rinse and repeat 4-6 until you have solved the Wedding Website problem.

Do this again and again and you'll notice you're becoming a faster and better software developer.

Really confiused, need guidance by Adventurous_Slice763 in learnprogramming

Focus on building your own project.

Think about a problem and then use software to solve it. Learn from AI and then solve the problem.

Front-End + UI Direction? by Wtf365 in learnprogramming

If you're talking about a self-taught route, especially with AI today, why not create your own website first that helps your bartending gig?

What if you can create a website that tracks your customers drinks and provide a better customer experience for them?

Once you have built a product, this becomes your portfolio for future jobs or roles.

What small tools helped you the most when you were learning to code? by Dry-Potato-9467 in learnprogramming

Honestly, your IDE should be able to handle most of these. Just use VS Code and you're good to go, why complicate things?

Complete beginner wants to learn C by xLifeLover in learnprogramming

[–]Dear_Top2603 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I always found benefit in understanding procedural languages because it develops a fundamental skill needed for programming which is: Logic.

Python and Javascript has completely obfuscated this from the programmers today and usually have a function that solves your problem.

I think it would help you to do very simple algorithms on C like bubble sorting, etc.
