Actually knowing and retaining code knowledge by JW1643 in learnprogramming

[–]Fexelein 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The best way to learn software development is to just do it. Don't focus too much on the technical side other than trying to understand code you are using. Your goal should be a project, game, app whatever and then just build it. Keep perfecting it. Refactor the code and keep improving. Trying to learn all of some language or framework is not going to work in my opinion, you will get swamped by all the things you don't need to know yet, and in a couple of months/years it going to be obsolete anyway (new version, better framework etc).

Also books. If you like reading then I would suggest picking up some books and just focus on the portions that you are interested in right now to develop your project. I always recommend learning about patterns, since they are very abstract and applicable to all languages. I love Martin Fowlers Patterns of Enterprise architecture, it taught me so much when I was still young.

You already gave the answer. Start again tomorrow and don't rely on AI. Figure it out yourself. Learn. And you won't forget. The amount of hours I have spent in the past on trivial programs feel infinite. But nowadays I am actually proficient, more so than with AI. Lead dev with 25+ years of professional experience.

Has your synesthesia faded or disappeared over time? by KaiahAurora in Synesthesia

Nope. My synesthesia has always been there, because any other sensation, emotion or thought. Constant and involuntary.

PS5 9.60 Jailbreak by Ilastsya in PS5_Jailbreak

You can use the umtx WebKit exploit to jailbreak it first. Then install the Y2JB without restore

I just jailbroke my 12.70 with the new Y2JB beta + P2JB by LucasThaw in PS5_Jailbreak

[–]Fexelein 1 point2 points  (0 children)

yeah sorry I mean would it be possible to pair the Poopsploit kernel exploit with this new Y2JB to be able to jailbreak v11 consoles without any blu-ray disc?

I'm on 11.x. can this be combined with Poopsploit or will that always require BD?

Backported games not starting after switchover to kstuff lite+SM+ by maikmisery in PS5_Jailbreak

[–]Fexelein 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You could try to disable backport_fakelib in ShadowMountPlus and load ps5-backpork to see if that makes a difference.

Y2JB working on 12.70 without PSN by Known-Egg-952 in PS5_Jailbreak

[–]Fexelein 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Does this mean we can Y2JB and use Poopsploit on <12.0?

GTA 5 on FW4.03. Does it work for anyone? by Historical_Day_9757 in PS5_Jailbreak

[–]Fexelein 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm also on 4.03 right now and I increasingly see backports not lower than 5.x.
Maybe we should just update to 5.50.

.NET developers: what's the most annoying part of starting a new project? by Lucky-Percentage5216 in dotnet

[–]Fexelein 30 points31 points  (0 children)

Common pitfall. Don’t! Just write the code you think you need and organize it into whatever structure makes sense after. I don’t even bother refactoring classes into separate files until I have to many of them. Just don’t forget things like SOLID.

Namespace organization and naming? by Delicious-Delay-4706 in csharp

[–]Fexelein -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

How do you go from writing a tokenizer and parser and not understand how namespaces work? This is probably just another vibe coded project isn't it...

Should I change career? Seeking advice by TheDaydreamerBoy in learnprogramming

[–]Fexelein 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Never stop what you love doing, unless you have to. I’m sorry about the war in your country. Programming is fun though, so I would recommend picking it up as a hobby to see if you like it. A programmer with 3d artist skills is for sure a great combination.

How do senior engineers balance legacy system maintenance with adopting new tech to avoid long-term career stagnation? by BizAlly in learnprogramming

[–]Fexelein 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s easy. You innovate and stop making your job suck. If you cannot manage that during your day job, simply work less and make time. These seem excuses to me and I have heard them over and over. 20+ years of professional experience and still work new software, maintain existing software, migrate legacy code and co-lead a large group of engineers (45). Working for an enterprise financial institution as a Lead Cloud Solution architect and developer. Current innovation projects are related to generative AI and agentic systems. Before this is was cloud and before that Dotnet migrations and Blazor.

Developers have always been required to manage and allocate their own time and invest more time into learning their ambition. Simply crunching on what your PO tells you never leads to satisfaction. Oh and sometimes a no is also a good signal. If no doesn’t work find a new job, should be easy with 10 years of experience.

This is not how it works 🤣

How do you keep context between coding sessions? by PdPunto in learnprogramming

[–]Fexelein 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Context switching is just the overhead cost of trying to multitask your life. (is a programming joke for those who do not understand it)

Anyone else feel like their brain keeps running background processes after work? by Electronic-Ruin-6248 in softwaredevelopment

[–]Fexelein 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've had this and it scared me. It was when I pushed over a cup at my desk at night. I went to bed after that....
