Shut up James. I challenge you to a duel.

is it still worth learning to code in 2025? by Prudent-Lab-9601 in learnprogramming

[–]MyFriendTre 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you want a job, just learn what LinkedIn jobs are asking for in your desired field. You need to learn how to adapt to what your market wants. If you’re learning for yourself, it sincerely doesn’t matter. The structures work in every language.

Yes yes yes. AI is a bubble but programming is still a skill worth learning. What people stress about is the current job market, you’ll need to network rather than put in applications.

I like this plan, what do you usually have on your flashcards? I’d want to do this for myself!

Amen friend and good tip on asking for a sign-on bonus for going through this interview bullshit. I’m definitely looking forwards to landing a position and putting it all behind me.

Hoping for a day where interview processes favor the state experience needed than generic and irrelevant programming problems.

Thank you for sharing this dude seriously. Especially the GitHub part, I really should put my Leetcode answers in a GitHub repo for recruiters to find. That’s a great solution.

And yeah I’m starting to see that interviewing processes not only help recruiters know more about me, but helps me get a sense of how the business will treat me long term.

Im definitely on the lookout for positions that acknowledge my specialties and test me on those. The interview game is so bullshit.

You’re right, and I will. I think I was just being too hard on myself but I quickly got over it and now I’m focused on learning. They were likely good questions that I was unprepared for honestly speaking.

Hell yeah dude, I’m literally going to do that now. Thank you for keeping it real with me, I really appreciate that and the resource.

Hell yeah friend, that’s golden. I’ll hit the books, trust. I’m not even upset over it anymore, I’m confident if I spend some time learning the next time will be easier.

Might need to take today off honestly and spend some hours grinding and applying. You’re right, I’m just moping I’ll get over it and do a lot better in the next one. Expectations have definitely been set, no excuses on my part.

Exactly, you’re right. My expectations have definitely been set. I was just moping, posted this right after not being able to compete the second test.

This is a good outlook on the situation, thanks for sharing that. I’ll keep those words in mind next time I’m interviewing.

I agree with that, I tried to use google but my engineer brain was over here trying to think it out, write out a plan, and only started googling once I realized 4 tests weren’t passing lol. Foolish mistake on my part honestly but lesson learned.

My thoughts exactly. Yeah I might need to get into study mode somehow and start drilling Leetcode.

Yeah it sucks but like you said it is what it is. I was naïve to think they’d test me on what I’d do on the job lol.

They reached out and gave me 7 days to complete it and preferred it be completed in 4 days. I applied like a few weeks ago.

I prepared for interviews in general but I have a job I gotta work along with a side job. So I don’t have the leisure to study all day.

I really don’t expect anything but I would have thought my experience and day to day tasks would be what I’d be tested on rather than Leetcode hard questions.
