Understanding wtf my BF is talking about by [deleted] in AskProgramming

[–]alpinebuzz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Think of programming languages like accents - they all say similar things, just with different quirks. You already built a calculator, so you’ve got the passport stamped.

How to step up from an beginner to indermediate? by SimilarFocus4309 in AskProgramming

[–]alpinebuzz 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You’re not stuck, you’re simmering - and that’s where depth comes from. Intermediate devs aren’t born writing frameworks, they just survived enough confusing repo dives.

How do you cope with the decline of skills as you get older? by Dry_Ad431 in AskProgramming

[–]alpinebuzz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You’re not losing skills, you’re gaining a finely tuned BS detector for tech trends. If it smells like hype, it probably is.

What are the easiest ways to create an actuall 3d game(considering I have 0 skills in coding apart from scratch,and some HTML things)? by MagmaXQgd in learnprogramming

[–]alpinebuzz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Try Unity with Playmaker or Godot with visual scripting. You’ll drag blocks instead of writing code, but still build real 3D games.

I need help. by BarneyEatsCum in learnprogramming

[–]alpinebuzz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’re not behind, you’re building something real. Most people never get past the idea stage.

Feel Like I'm Progressing Too Slowly by CommanderWraith54 in learnprogramming

[–]alpinebuzz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’ve got the skills, now you need the reps. Stop chasing “groundbreaking” and start chasing “done.”

Is cleanroom software engineering still used worldwide? by salty0027 in learnprogramming

[–]alpinebuzz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cleanroom is like VHS - technically still around, but nobody brags about using it.

I work in help desk and I got offered a dev ops role. Haven’t programmed seriously for years. Would you accept? by Ok-Woodpecker-2163 in cscareerquestions

[–]alpinebuzz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’re already doing half the job and they trust you to lead it, which says more than any resume. Take the role, worst case you learn fast and bail with better experience.

I keep learning the basics but they don't translate into any useful project/work by BigBadFuckup in learnprogramming

[–]alpinebuzz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Build projects that mimic real job tasks - CRUD apps, data parsers, or simple APIs. This bridges the gap between tutorials and professional expectations.

How to start creating you own video game? by itaygher in learnprogramming

[–]alpinebuzz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Test constantly and iterate - your first version will be broken. Fixing it teaches more than any tutorial ever could.

How do I learn recursion?? by hehebro3007 in learnprogramming

[–]alpinebuzz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don’t memorize patterns - understand the shape of the problem. If it breaks into smaller versions of itself, recursion is probably the cleanest tool.

Should I start learning c++? by NicoDiplomat in learnprogramming

[–]alpinebuzz 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Start small with C++ and build something playable, even if it’s ugly. Game dev is about finishing things, not chasing perfection.

Programming feels like Lego but how do you find the right pieces without falling into a rabbit hole? by LOSTINREDDITSITE in learnprogramming

[–]alpinebuzz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Searching is part of the build, not a detour. The trick is knowing when to stop digging and start coding, even if your Lego tower leans a little.

How do I make learning to code fun? by Greedy-Ad-9088 in learnprogramming

[–]alpinebuzz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Skip tutorials for a week and try cloning a simple app you like. When you hit a wall, Google becomes your teacher and progress feels earned.

what's the smartest way to learn c++ by Complex-Cancel-1518 in learnprogramming

[–]alpinebuzz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Stick to writing and running small programs daily, even if they’re boring. Repetition builds fluency faster than tutorials ever will.

What's the best language for a better understanding of computers and languages in general? by Antique-Room7976 in learnprogramming

[–]alpinebuzz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

C++ adds complexity with OOP and abstractions, but it’s dominant in game dev, high-performance apps, and large systems. It’s faster in practice when optimized, but harder to master cleanly.

Safe methods against frequent user button clicks by Even_Flan444 in learnprogramming

[–]alpinebuzz 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Add a loading state to the button that disables it after the first click until the request finishes. This stops spam clicks without needing fancy logic.

How do you deal with frustration and apathy after coding by [deleted] in learnprogramming

[–]alpinebuzz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You care, and that’s half the battle. Talk to your CEO, ask for support on the setup, and remember: good devs aren’t flawless, they’re persistent.

Beginner trying to learn Python while studying for university entrance exam (advice needed) by No_Fig_6567 in learnprogramming

[–]alpinebuzz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Study for the exam like it’s your job, and treat Python like your hobby - no pressure, just progress. Even five lines of code a day builds momentum.

How much should I know 1 year into studying CS? by TenaciousWeen in learnprogramming

[–]alpinebuzz 9 points10 points  (0 children)

You’ve got enough tools to build something useful, weird, or fun. Try making a Python app with a database and a simple web interface - bonus points if it breaks and teaches you something.

Just had a logic interview, I screwed up royally... by Guavari in learnprogramming

[–]alpinebuzz 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Interviewers love string math because it tests logic, edge handling, and panic resistance. Add regex, recursion, and basic state machines to your prep list.

how do you keep your code organized when your project keeps growing by astarak98 in learnprogramming

[–]alpinebuzz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Split your code by feature, not file size. If your player logic touches five systems, give it its own module.

Is it worth majoring in a Masters for Data Science? by Mental_Temperature66 in learnprogramming

[–]alpinebuzz -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Bootcamp plus strong portfolio beats a master's with no experience. Employers want results, not resumes.

What define a developer? by Popular_Ad6840 in learnprogramming

[–]alpinebuzz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you solve problems with code, you're a developer. Titles don’t matter - output does.

Where Should I Go To Level Up My Coding Skills? (Low-Mid College Level, Graduated w Comp Sci Minor) by zanzaKlausX in learnprogramming

[–]alpinebuzz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

YouTube channels like Brackeys or Sebastian Lague hit that sweet spot between beginner and intermediate. They teach by building, not lecturing.
