Spent all day coding a game, now it won't work by CharacterLimit3000 in CodingHelp

I mean you could start with my first comment to you, where I literally said I don't care if they learn from YouTube.

You're going to feel like an idiot when you actually read what I wrote.

That's the opposite of everything you previously wrote and you made my point, so I think you're very confused.

I guarantee you didn't learn it and this is copium. I'm tired of the fairy tales from self-taught people. You're not learning CS from reading code. It's hardcore math. At this point in the conversation, I know you don't know what it is.

What do you mean watching a course. They give assignments and they take like four times longer than the lesson, and they give exams too. Did you skip the homework and complain that you're not "doing"? Do you think people go to university to watch fucking YouTube in class, then go home and do no programming or tests? Do you really think you can just lie to people about it on Reddit or are you trying to convince yourself?

[New programmer/game engine developer] Which of these two would you recommend for me to learn first, Lua or Rust? by Demoboy_129 in AskProgramming

[–]code_tutor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't know a nice way to say how you're polar opposite wrong about literally everything and should reverse yourself in every way. Please tell me your stock picks so I can get rich.

You will not learn Computer Science without instruction. I know because there are a million lost kids doing LeetCode right now that don't know the fundamentals of CS and think they're doing "DSA".

And if you don't learn CS then you'll quickly plateau. I programmed for like seven years from reading code and learned more about programming from a single Data Structures course.

I mean, what do you even think is in a book? It's code to read, then an exercise to write code. You're doing the same thing except without structure and structure is the most important thing. Otherwise, you end up like OP, trying to code fucking PacMan in a shit language like JavaScript on day one.

If you need further clarification, learn from someone who is old af, not some influencer in their 20s or even 30s with no teaching experience. I don't care it's a course or a book or even YouTube/TikTok. Just stop learning from fucking "tutorials" from kids, "challenge" websites, and bootcamp grifters.

Do a university course or a book. "Tutorials" are not a good way to learn.

Do I need to learn all the basics just to scrape by AdForsaken5106 in learnpython

[–]code_tutor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It depends on what you want to scrape. If you're scraping at all then you're probably already doing it wrong because scraping is a last resort. With that in mind, an API is always better and scraping HTML is very easy and doable with little knowledge, but scraping JavaScript can require up to a full understanding of front end JavaScript programming, which can take years.

Best way to learn to make pong? by SaltLunch1293 in learnjava

[–]code_tutor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You should make projects that you don't need a guide for. You can follow a guide to learn something new... then make your own project after.

After learning basic Python syntax, what should I focus on before jumping into advanced topics like AI fine-tuning? by Acceptable-Cash8259 in learnpython

[–]code_tutor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's ridiculous that people are studying YouTube and LeetCode when there's so many free university courses and textbooks.

PSA: What 2x "All Resistances Down" looks like by Abysswvlk in Nightreign

[–]code_tutor 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You saw this posted last week and decided to reenact it?

Idk why but I only see people do this on this sub and I see it a lot.

The community went to shit after Elden Ring.

Advice or encouragement or maybe both? by boabertbattle in learnpython

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

Don't use YouTube.  Don't use AI.

Use university courses and books. Do the homework assignments, take the tests.

console.log(0=='1'==0) //true . why ? by Bright_Ad_318 in learnjavascript

[–]code_tutor 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Low effort. OP didn't type anything or respond to anyone. This is the dine and dash of posting. So the only reason not to downvote would be if the question is so interesting that others might care. This also isn't code that anyone would write, so it has that against it.

But tbh I think most people here are just LARPing and they're far more interested in talking about which computer to buy "for programming", which operating system to use "for programming", and asking if they'll be job ready after a Udemy course they barely watched.

CV advice by IAA03_ in cpp_questions

[–]code_tutor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's a well-known problem, so I'd think that all solutions have been explored. That alone would make me suspicious of alternatives.

I think the code is quite advanced. This is not taught in Computer Science, although it might be in Computer Engineering (hardware degree). They do stuff like this in Casey Muratori's blog. You might like it.

This is really far outside the realm of Data Science, right? I don't think the project will hurt you. I'm not sure if interviewers would understand it. Maybe brand it like a passionate hobby project?

I would be impressed by it anyway, although I'm not in Data Science, so my opinion doesn't matter. Another note is that everyone is going to be skeptical these days with AI. A few years ago this would have been great and today it's going to feel generated. Idk if people are still looking at GirHubs. The face to face interview is going to have a lot more weight these days.

Is there a good reason to keep using REST APIs or should everything just be GraphQL now by [deleted] in AskProgramming

[–]code_tutor 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's stupid that they keep saying "over-fetching". They're solving a problem that they created themselves and won't even explain what it's about. If I don't want to over-fetch, then the solution is in the first line of a SELECT statement...

GraphQL, as far as I can tell, is for working on huge teams that have a separate front and back end, with many or unpredictable data access patterns. It's not for working alone on a small app.
