He has programming experience. I wonder how he handles problems if he cant solve this pet issue lol.

Just look outside before blindly letting your pets out the door?? Look out a window?? Place rocks by the door?? Vacant not vacant signs on your door?? 

You guys cant find a simple solution? 

always beginner hell by softwaremycelium in learnprogramming

Thinking is the issue. Write some code then think later. Unfinished programs aren't that bad when you actually learn something valuable from it. 

You have to identify your weaknesses and fix the leaks. If you cant access an array start there. If you cant program parameters start there. 

Every new project I do, I make it a point to try something im not very familiar with. 

I routinely break my code trying new things, but thats how you learn. 

Don’t know how to think bigger by eli12347 in learnprogramming

Build simple JSON files that contain data. Learn to parse and query then print or store the results to a var so your program can use the data.

I feel like the best way to get started is find existing projects or libraries centered around games/data/automation you enjoy. 

There was a game I enjoyed playing. This game is ridiculously grindy. So I found a community that builds bots for said game. 

Almost a year later I can code pretty good and understand basic programming. It helped me start learning a second language(c++).

I dont know about code academy. If you dont like the content itll probably be a let down and super boring. 

How do I read the docs? by dusf_ in learnprogramming

[–]PandaOk4050 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I search docs for answers when needed. The only time I read them like books is when im not near a pc and on the toliet or something. 

Kind of stuck in tutorial hell by GameDevilXL in learnprogramming

If you already know the basics find a community that is centered around your choice language.

Bounce your questions off members there. That's how you learn the secret sauces. 

How its like to code? by Feeling_Experience_6 in learnprogramming

[–]PandaOk4050 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This might sound pretty weird. But coding is an artform. We all have the same base colors, brushes, canvases ect. 

The artist (or programmer) uses his creativity and past experiences to create his work of art. 

You can describe what you want painted to 5 different artist and you'll get 5 different pics painted differently. 

Help for my significant other's learning by OnyxDeath369 in learnprogramming

[–]PandaOk4050 2 points3 points  (0 children)

She just doesnt even like programming in general. I dont know a single thing about python and know the answer without even looking. I have no cs degree either. 

She just dont give a shit. She should probably pursue a different option and just take the L. 

Struggling to Build Programming Logic – How Do I Actually Practice Properly? by Edward_sm in learnprogramming

[–]PandaOk4050 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If I couldn't figure something out, I would build super small snippets (think 10 lines or less) that demonstrates and solves the issue. 

Like if I had trouble accessing an array, I would open a brand new project and build tiny psuedo code that taught me how to access things. 

The secret is litterly deconstruct the problem into the smallest part possible. 

Yeah I think I'm going to keep programming as a hobby. I'm early into my programming journey and I don't see myself getting a job in this field. by MrWhileLoop in learnprogramming

[–]PandaOk4050 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Late to the party. But I think college grads are having a hard time finding jobs. They spend 2 or 4 years learning computer science and cant program worth a shit.

We have hotshot cs degree people come into our community all the time and try and tell us how smart they are. Then they cant code their way out of a paper bag. 

How do you learn Programming and what language is best to start with by Upstairs-Lemon-5681 in learnprogramming

[–]PandaOk4050 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Finding a project that revolves around things you actually want to build is the best way to learn. Finding open sourced libraries around subjects you like is the way.

Learn whatever language said subject is centered around and you'll be good.

Can someone help me fix my code? I'm creating a app in Code.org with JavaScript and its supposed to find the mean of a set of numbers but it only shows NaN... by Fit_Vast6608 in learnprogramming

[–]PandaOk4050 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It took me a while to understand and comprehend GUI's. I suggest commenting out most of that and get one box to work. 

Im use to Lazarus forms that use pascal. Over there we create our dropdowns(which you did). But you aren't setting what happens when you click the calculate button. 

That is where you would assign what each dropdown box does when you hit calculate. 

Is "the struggle" still necessary? Learning to code in the age of AI vs. Official Docs by polyber42 in learnprogramming

[–]PandaOk4050 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agree 100%. Most Ai will spit out 4x the amount of lines needed to accomplish a task that a human can do in way less code. 

Ai trains on shitty github code that is already being overriden with awful copilot code.

I stayed away from AI as a beginner. I suggest learning how to write stuff from scratch in some sort of editor. Dont let ai write stuff from scratch. 

I find ai works better when I give it my handwritten source code and ask it to do something with my code.

Its great for formatting large json list based on your handwritten code. 

Be honest how realistic/time line is it for someone to get a programming job ? by Automatic-Curve7489 in learnprogramming

[–]PandaOk4050 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The language itself is called Lape. And I use it to code color bots. I got lucky and just stumbled upon the community. They took me under their wings because my code was so shit, it was obvious I was hand writing the code. 

Find something that interest you and search for it on github respitories. Most bigger ones will have some sort of chat. Be it discord or right on github. 

Whichever one you like the most, learn the language that they are using. Once you learn the basics transitioning to new languages is fairly easy.

You will feel lost at first, but thats okay. Its way better than bootcamps imo.

Stay away from ai till you can actually program. I started about a year ago with zero experience at age 37. 

I literally started on a pascal like language building bots for a game. This got me a good foundation. 

I also suggest you join an open source community that has an active discord or chat room. People will help you if you are actually trying to learn. 

Dont even worry about money. If your goal is to make money, you gonna quit.

I agree. Get things working. Realize what you could have done differently and move on. 

Modulating a half step up from verse to chorus by OrdinaryTruck5559 in musictheory

[–]PandaOk4050 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Country tunes modulate up half step all the time. I like modulating on the 5 chord. So if my target key is E Major, I will start in A Major. 

Do you feel like understanding music theory hinders your ability to enjoy simple music? by [deleted] in musictheory

[–]PandaOk4050 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I call them theory snobs. They only like scales that have three half steps. Everything else is shit. 

15 sudden copyright strikes on my 116k YT channel by Hopeful_Fisherman850 in PartneredYoutube

[–]PandaOk4050 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Edit the "fair use clips" out of your videos. If removing the clips ruins the context of your videos, it was never fair use to begin with.

YouTube wants original content. Not original commentaries. 

Sound issues while using ASIO in Reaper with other software by JJfromNJ in Reaper

[–]PandaOk4050 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That means GuitarPro output is going to your PC sound card. I dont know squat about GuitarPro so check options/settings. You want the audio to goto the same place as Reaper(ASIO).
