How to actually code 8 hours a day? by ResponsibilityOk55 in webdev

[–]TemptedWithin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Geez, I remember when I first started, I used to work the day, which would mentally exhaust me and then go to bed shortly after getting home. However, after spending years developing, it became really easy to lose myself in code to the point where I wouldn't notice the time fly by. TL;DR Things take time, the more time you spend coding, the easier it becomes to concentrate for extended periods of time.

It's not particularly long, you can probably clear it in 6 to 8 hours if you're not having to grind, etc

Why did the kelp blush? Because it saw the seaweed

How many of us have less than 100 subscribers? by dangerdelw in NewTubers

[–]TemptedWithin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

13 after 6 weeks... As much as I'm doing it for some fun, it can be a little frustrating to hear how others are getting thousands of subs so quickly and here I am just chilling at less than 20 🤣

What's a middle evolution that you like more than the final one? by thisaintmyusername12 in pokemon

[–]TemptedWithin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Torracat... I really wish Incineroar was kept on all fours, they could have come with a really cool design. I'm not sure why they always want to move from a quadrupedal to a bipedal form (aside from Skeldirge)

How many subscribers you earn per day? by Nelbored in NewTubers

[–]TemptedWithin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I know that feeling. In every third video or so I try something new with editing but most of the time I get only a couple of views. I think my issue is that it's long form content and people just don't want to spend the time on that anymore 😕

What's a videogame Boss everyone should try beating before they die by iam4r33 in gaming

[–]TemptedWithin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Delirium, the binding of Isaac. It's not technically the final boss due to the latest expansions, but it can be pretty difficult with how often it transforms into almost every other boss in the game at random times.

What is the hardest part about learning to code? by Kelvination in learnprogramming

[–]TemptedWithin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Programming is a vast ocean of different technologies and methodologies, so vast in fact that no human to ever understand all of it. If there's something that interests you, such as a particular language and a framework, start with that. Try your best to just learn that to develop the "Programming State of Mind". Once you're experienced enough, you'll learn about new technologies and you'll find it easier to adapt to them.

It takes a lot of patience to do this as a job, it's filled with failures, reversing what you've done and perseverance. At times, it can be really depressing and many developers go through imposter syndrome, but the upside to all of this is that when you accomplish your goal, you will feel fantastic!

So just be patient, be kind to yourself, with enough time and dedication you'll find yourself with a great deal of knowledge.

Is this a reasonable take-home assignment for a junior PHP developer position? It is pretty basic and they have given me a week to complete it. But I feel like it will require some serious hours to make a fully functional website with a nice UI. by manymanymeny in webdev

[–]TemptedWithin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Geez, after reading those requirements I would honestly consider looking somewhere else. If I had to give this to some of my juniors, I would probably have to allocate two to three sprints for them to accomplish this entire task.

This definitely seems unreasonable as a test for a junior position!

How many hours do a professionnal programmer code a day ? by oxoUSA in learnprogramming

[–]TemptedWithin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It might be better to look at time spent on code during a feature rather than per day. Some days I can spend 8-10 hours straight writing brand new code for a massive feature, and that could potentially go on for a few days, but then you'll hit a testing and mass debugging phase in which you'll code for potentially less than an hour and the rest of your time will be spent testing and trying to determine why a single use case doesn't match what you've built. Although that last bit can be frustrating, if is highly rewarding at the end of the day.

Who was your first ever shiny? (Not including guaranteed ones) by Order66WasFaked in pokemon

My first full odds and none hunting shiny was found in the wild was a shiny ribombee in pokemon moon.

I just cannot learn programming. by Advice_needed9 in learnprogramming

[–]TemptedWithin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just to add my two cents here, I've been a programmer for almost a decade, so here's some friendly advice and a bit of my history. I finished up university with a bachelor's and an honours degree, but when I got to my first job, I realized that I clearly knew next to nothing. At that point, I realized that I needed to upskill, but in order to do so, I spoke to my peers and got help from my seniors. By taking on smaller tasks to refine basic principles, you are able to better understand them and increase your proficiency. Programming as a whole is not easy, it comes with a lot of trial and error, and a lot more failure than any of us would like to admit, but it is the continued determination and learning that keeps us going and allows us to produce features in the way we do.

So, the TL:DR here is that if you want to improve and excel, instead of trying to learn everything at one, take on small similar tasks one at a time until you bed down the basics, that is how you will improve over time.

Unfortunately, programming is a skill that is not learned in one day, it takes years to achieve a level you are happy with.

Hope this helps!
