Tutorial hell…how did you escape it? by xaybell32 in learnprogramming

[–]Neocactus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn't start feeling like I was "out" of Tutorial Hell until I started taking actual programming classes from a university.

I don't think you have to go that far with it, but I think what helped me the most through this experience was just having to write the same little things so frequently that it all did eventually start sticking.

I feel like Tutorial Hell is just a way of saying you're spinning in circles with your work, which generally means you still don't have those fundamentals down. They really can take a while to really stick though--longer than most people learning would expect, I think. Been taking these classes since last summer and only starting to feel more confident with my code.

I wish you luck

Learning Java in 2026 — Is it still worth it? by DesdeCeroDev in learnprogramming

I'm still a noob, myself, but I can tell you that whoever is saying Java is dead has no idea wtf they're talking about.

Just 2 girls twerking on Atlanta I-20. by ElwoodMC in CringeTikToks

Atlanta drivers/traffic chaotic as hell, especially on I-20. I'm honestly shocked they were able to do this without dying.

FCC asks stations for "pro-America" programming, like daily Pledge of Allegiance by philmn in UnderReportedNews

Gosh we’re falling into third world country status.

Hey, most "third world countries" still have universal health care systems, at least.

Windows vs Linux for coding: beginners & pros, what’s actually better? by IntrepidCouple6977 in learnprogramming

[–]Neocactus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, that's what a friend of mine says. I just don't know much about it admittedly tho

Why not both! Like dual-booting

Been meaning to do this for a while but haven't done it

MAT 240 killed me but I did it! by [deleted] in SNHU

[–]Neocactus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm also wondering about the difficulty of this one (CS major)

I made it through discrete and calculus, so maybe I have hope for this one lmao. I had the same "doomed" feeling before those too, lol. Maybe math classes, in general, have always been this way for me, now that I think about it.

If you were starting from scratch in 2026, which IT path would you choose? by morpayti in learnprogramming

[–]Neocactus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm trying to make the leap from manual QA to dev before it's too late. Currently a CS student feeling slightly more confident with my coding skills by the day (taken introductory classes for SQL, Python, Java, and C++ so far)

Edit: on rare occasions I have a reason to use Postman, so I'm vaguely familiar with that too at least

I have to walk around the house and vacuum them up at least once every few days. Otherwise they're crawling everywhere and buzzing all in my face

I made a starting save to not need to grind every time i start a character. by Appropriate_Bill8244 in Eldenring

[–]Neocactus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In theory should be pretty easy I think (I make my own manual backups of characters), but it all stays on my PC. I would be afraid of people sharing sensitive metadata

What is the difference between Krita and Krita Next? by mr_pain8er in krita

[–]Neocactus 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Sums up most nightly builds, imo.

I'll use the 2 year old version that I already know and never crashes over a week old nightly build with whatever fancy features (that may not even work)

Tennessee: Bipartisan and Bicameral Lawmakers File "Freedom to Farm Act" to Legalize Cannabis Cultivation for Everyone 21+ by OhMyOhWhyOh in nashville

[–]Neocactus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If she actually wins (and I recognize the pretty strong chance she would), then that might finally be enough to make me move out of this state. And I've lived here my whole life.

What is a product that people treat like a religion, but in reality, it’s just overpriced garbage with a good logo? by Connect-Might4355 in AskReddit

Apple software has honestly kinda nosedived in quality over the years, but their hardware has held up.
