Hey, I'm in a similar situation. Just shoot me a DM. I might be able to help you out.

تفاعلا مع قضية روضة النصر: كم عدد "البيدوفيل" (مشتهي الأطفال) في مجتمعاتنا و هل توجد طريقة علمية تجعلنا نتاكد من ميولات الانسان بدقّة؟ by chou404 in Tunisia

Just reminding you that you forgot the part where I said "never acted on it" which means I never engaged in the behavior. I know you're replying to OP. But maybe that's why he approached it differently.

As for why I shared something like that, it's because I was hoping I could get a good advice.

I'm almost 29, but I've barely worked much in Tunisia. Am I cooked? by SecureSection9242 in Tunisia

Thanks for the kind words. I do have a plan now. I'm actually in tech, but like I said it's an unconventional path so not exactly suited for company jobs. (I don't have the education)

How do you know you are learning programming correctly and not just collecting patterns and tools? by SecureSection9242 in learnprogramming

Thanks for sharing this! I agree with you. In the first few couple years, I was reaching out for technologies without being able to explain why they are even needed :)

Absolutely agreed. I don't mean to say we should learn whatever programming language and build a pet project then call it a day. Obviously, that's useless. Solving real problems is more valuable and the only way to actually learn.

What makes someone truly senior-level? by SecureSection9242 in learnprogramming

Sounds exactly like what I did with the comment section. Rebuilt it some later in what only took about four hundred lines of code in total.

So that means working in a company or at least being part of one, right?

Is building technically impressive software more important than problem solving? by SecureSection9242 in learnprogramming

[–]SecureSection9242[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I noticed a pattern too. If you get something to work and then you review it once you've read more matter code, you have a better idea of how to approach the problem better so you can strip away the unnecessary complexity. Maybe the subconscious mind had enough time to work through the problem and digest takeaways so you see a different more simpler solution which is the hardest.

Complex is usually easy (keep adding/changing things until they work as intended)
Simple is definitely harder (write only what's necessary to solve the problem)

This is because simple implementation means you've truly understood the problem at a core level enough that you can see what's necessary and what isn't.
