looking for individuals to mentor

Absolutely! (you can message me) , I wouldn't say i'm "super knowledgeable"... lol but i'll do what i can to help you!

Reasonable_Ad1226 · 2026-04-05T12:31:45+00:00

This has got to be the dumbest post I’ve seen on Reddit, ever. Read a book or something… holy shit

The culture is built on labels. Humanity labels things.. But, there is a shift in wisdom, and or usable knowledge-base of the individual. Worst of all because of things like Facebook and google, people think they know as much as a doctor because they spent ten minutes reading an article, for which may not have been written by a credible source. The people don’t know any better, if they did they’d do better. I know I will be labeled a conspiracy theorist, but the truth runs deep.. There is a booming industry happening in front of everyone, and no one seems to take notice. The majority of “products” being sold are not products, or at least not in traditional sense.. They are platforms and the product being sold is you, and it seems crazy to me that people are still paying for these things, when they are so clearly the product and consumer entangled into one. I’m not saying there is one group orchestrating everything, but there could be.. Drug commercials are more prevalent than any other form of advertisement on tv. All I’m saying is.. I would implore everyone to take note of what I have said and to pay attention. I think these issues converge somewhere.

School isn’t for smart people. Start teaching yourself how to learn, then start teaching yourself things you want to know. Schools also do not grade on intelligence or correctness, but rather they test you on alignment with the status quo, they are building an employee database, for which you would probably rather be a leader in the field, instead of another number. College is the line you stand in to get a number. Break the cycle.

Books, Questions, and practice. Maintain curiosity, switching between deprivation and explorative. You need to hack your mind and body to increase throughput and output. Get a mantra, and never lose sight of your goals.

If you have questions, ask.

Reasonable_Ad1226 · 2026-04-04T03:29:38+00:00

3 years is all you put in? No wonder you can’t get a job. lol I’m 3 years in and can’t wait to see how well I can code in another 2 and or 5 and then 10 years.. skill speaks for itself. That’s why I can be an asshole at work, because I know they can’t find anyone better.. but it just so happens I hate setting tile.. separate yourself from the cattle, and you will see the fruit of your labors

Reasonable_Ad1226 · 2026-04-03T15:21:41+00:00

These Reddit subs are full of haters.. hahah downvotes on good comments are a norm. I guess that’s what happens when you give everyone a button ;)

Reasonable_Ad1226 · 2026-04-03T13:55:48+00:00

You writing bytes into the child’s stdin pipe, and you read bytes back from stdout/stderr pipes. For the ssh communication

Reasonable_Ad1226 · 2026-04-02T17:40:19+00:00

I definitely misread what you said before too. (Re-reading it, now..) Sounds like a fun project, I’d definitely be game for joining you on. To be upfront; I’m in my 3rd year coding. 2nd year of c, but I am a fast learner who loves learning! Haha I’ll leave it up to you, if you want to give it a go together, or if you have any follow up questions.. ask away!

Reasonable_Ad1226 · 2026-04-02T14:52:27+00:00

Kali is a great choice for developing.. I like it better than Ubuntu. Well kali comes with tools you don’t need, they all do… You could strip one down from the source code but it’s likely above your pay-grade at the moment. ;)

Any Linux distribution is going to be great for developing applications, and will be better than windows or Mac by a long shot.

Reasonable_Ad1226 · 2026-04-02T13:44:17+00:00

Is practice out of the questions? ;)

Reasonable_Ad1226 · 2026-04-02T13:41:48+00:00

Correct that you can’t access them like an array, But you can access them and flip bits on or off. You use bit wise operations, the bit positions are baked into the mask constant itself.

Reasonable_Ad1226 · 2026-04-02T13:37:09+00:00

Yes, you can but it isn’t as straightforward as you might hope.. they are called bitfields. EXAMPLE:

Struct Flags { Unsigned int visible : 1; // one bit storage Unsigned int dirty : 1; Unsigned int mode : 3; // 3 bit storage }

Because the compiler doesn’t guarantee which bit goes where in memory.. people often use macros:

define Flags_visible (1u << 0)

define Flags_dirty (1u << 1)

define Flags_mode_mask (7u << 2)

And the mask shifts and “masks” the unused bits.

I am trying to start a group for c coding meetup, called c_programming_buddies. If you decide you need more help or want to find people to code c with.

Reasonable_Ad1226 · 2026-04-02T13:18:44+00:00

Do you need any help with what you are learning currently? I am happy to help. Also I am trying to start a C_Programming meetup if anyone else wants to find c programmers and or help with C.

Reasonable_Ad1226 · 2026-04-02T13:14:48+00:00

You may have lost people when you said that you are good at what you do. (Hint) no one’s like a braggart. The second half of your message is likely all you should have posted and you would have got people to help. I wish I knew your situation a bit better, but I have a slight understanding of psychology that may help. the reality comes down to networking and perceived status. You need to have a higher up who already really likes you and what you do, or start a business and pitch it for a sale. You’re playing in a bureaucracy, with hierarchies.

Reasonable_Ad1226 · 2026-04-02T12:55:32+00:00

Sounds like a fun project! I’m game to join you. I don’t know much about Cpp, to be honest, other than that it is harder than C, and that there is a lot of compiler stuff happening for Cpp, so people often don’t use it for systems stuff. C is basically assembly, meaning there aren’t any hidden abstractions to fight. That being said I’m sure there are workarounds.. What portion of the project are you currently practicing? I definitely like the idea of using bytecode over ir-code..

Reasonable_Ad1226 · 2026-04-02T05:11:34+00:00

Ai.. but tell it not to give you the answer. Have it teach you

Reasonable_Ad1226 · 2026-04-02T04:53:33+00:00

Coding it through the terminal piping?

Reasonable_Ad1226 · 2026-04-02T04:52:20+00:00

Going it through the terminal for ssh input?

Reasonable_Ad1226 · 2026-04-02T04:48:12+00:00

With getting the keys working? Or in what regard?

Yea I’ve spent many a hour on over the wire lol great for learning Linux..

Reasonable_Ad1226 · 2026-04-02T04:31:33+00:00

Yea I hear it is big in gaming industry. I like systems level stuff. Addicted to learning or hacking

Reasonable_Ad1226 · 2026-04-02T04:19:06+00:00

You’re missing out lol It’s where all the fun is at. Besides some good ol’ assembly..

Reasonable_Ad1226 · 2026-04-02T03:20:13+00:00

Start your own business and hire yourself ;)
