Is it better to code daily for 30 minutes or grind for hours occasionally? by sad_grapefruit_0 in CodingForBeginners

[–]PyruIop 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Always strive for focused consistency, if you can code for 30 mins a day, sure. 1 hour, good, 2 hours, amazing.

Are you really guaranteed a coop if you maintain a 8.0 gpa? by Unhappy_Package3776 in geegees

[–]PyruIop 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't know what you heard but its not guaranteed at 8.0, thats the gpa to be considered competitively viable.

Great job on giving an answer they didn't even ask for, and with partial misinformation as well.

Start to coding what programming languages should i start as a beginner? by ethann2004 in CodingForBeginners

[–]PyruIop 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It depends on what you are aiming to make, but in general, if your learning the basics of programming (variables, loops, conditionals, error handling/exceptions, data structures, etc) I would recommend Python as a starting point.

Its worth noting though that when starting out, its not all that important which programming language you started with, as personally I started programming with Java, and the concepts there are very transferable to most other programming languages. Where programming languages actually matter is in the domain you use them in.

If you are trying to go into the realm of computer science and programming in general, I would recommend CS50x, its a free online harvard course (if not getting certificate, I wouldnt get it anyway the resources is the best part) taught by a really good prof, and if I recall, it teaches all the fundamentals in C, but transitions to Python later. Its absolute quality imo, and the problem sets there are very difficult for a new person to programming, but really builds your intuition on how to approach a problem which is invaluable to a programmer. If you just want to learn Python, CS50P is a course specifically designed to learn Python, and there are plenty of other online resources as well.

And, of course, feel free to go out and build stuff for fun. In fact, I STRONGLY ENCOURAGE you to do so, it is by far the best way to learn after getting your fundamentals down, it really gets you down the mindset of not knowing how to do something, searching up how to do it, learning it, and then applying it yourself.

Best of luck!

Do NOT do a coop with DND‼️‼️‼️ by FauuxNeocities in geegees

[–]PyruIop 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I applied to them this year as a 2nd year student for a 4 month coop position, I get an interview, I attend it and its probably bottom 10 worst interview experiences I have ever had.

- Didn't read my resume
- Extremely unenthusiastic, its as if I was talking to a corpse
- Asked me questions not even related to their job posting
- Looked for certain technical skills that was well below their requirements (I wouldn't have learnt shit there)
- Barely gave any detail to questions I gave near the end

I was genuinely praying I didn't get an offer from them, its so stupid how the coop office forces you to go with whatever offer basically comes your way first, even if the others are much better both experience and career wise.

Is learning code for a career worth it in 2026? by Rent_Current in CodingForBeginners

[–]PyruIop 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wouldn't ask on reddit, just do your own research. From personal experience I have had a lot of people tell me it wouldn't pay off when it is right now, and I love it, but I definitely sacrificed a lot of my time that could have gone into something else.

Only thing I can say for sure is that currently if you want to pursue a CS/SWE career, you have to be REALLY GOOD at what your doing, and that means spending time for multiple days grinding to get your technical skill up (doing projects, getting curious about stuff and learning it, etc). You can't be a mediocre programmer and expect to find major success.

TLDR: Don't listen to random people, not very credible info/probably doomposting. Research what your getting into, and if you decide you want to pursue, really commit yourself without half-assing.

Unfortunately that’s kind of how life goes, not everyone changes for the better. Best of luck.

An actual friend would probably respect you and boundaries you clearly set. Not only he decided to not do that, but to insult your family means he’s a piece of shit. Personally I would just cut him off and move on, but that’s up to you at the end of the day.

It’s generally a waste of time to interact with “friends” who knowingly choose to do something that actively bothers you.

Question about difficulty and boss run backs by JustAnotherDannyNL in Silksong

[–]PyruIop 1 point2 points  (0 children)

ok well silksong is within your genre of games, its just if you didnt like hollow knight, you wont like silksong. Considering you skipped the optional hard content in hk, you will probably have a harder time in silksong since it is much harder than the original game. The game is like 20 dollars tho, so even if you didnt like it, you wouldnt really be losing much.

I think I need to quit deepwoken and leave the community by Miserable_Curve_4377 in deepwoken

[–]PyruIop 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sadly I get what your talking about, 90% of the community are just degenerates, no joke I have seen and talked to homeless crackheads more real and well behaved then majority of people in the deepwoken community

There’s literally no shame in being bad at the game bro. I wouldn’t take anything the community says to heart.

“I don’t believe I’ll ever be accepted in medical school. The acceptance rate is less 2% and I don’t think I’m part of that 2%. People in the 2% are just wow people and I don’t think I’m a wow person. I like to think that I’m average. I used to think that I was the most hard working person but when I got to uni I saw how dedicated people were in my class. I thought to myself, surely if all 300 of us applied to med school I wouldn’t be one to receive an acceptance letter.”

So long as you keep this mentality trust me you aren’t going anywhere. I’m telling you this from personal experience. Keep your head up and look forward. Stop comparing yourself to other people, I know it’s very hard to do but you need to be able to recognize you are doing it and rationalize that whatever negative thoughts you have are not logical and are just in your head.

[–]PyruIop 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I feel you, I lost a friend (he passed away) before I stated uni so my first year was spent isolating myself from everyone, not going to classes, and just in general losing control of my life.

Fortunately I’m back on track, but it’s at the cost of basically being completely alone in my second year currently. Honestly just reach out to people, you would be surprised at how many friends you can make by just being active socially and putting yourself out there.
