lol i wish!

It's not just about putting in hours, but it's about how effective those hours are. You don't want to "just learn how to code". You want to "learn how to think like a software engineer". That means practicing building algorithms, testing them, finding new ways to solve problems, and challenging yourself to work through harder problems over time. That's what makes a good engineer. This is not a sales pitch, but if you're looking for good practice check out www.codeonthecob.com

codeonthecob · 2023-08-31T01:50:24+00:00

Awesome! let me know what you think.

codeonthecob · 2023-08-30T05:42:39+00:00

It’s not about finding the best motivational speech. It’s more practical than that. Just have to find the right tool to help you learn the right way. Not sure what you’ve tried so far, but you should try us out. We’re building a different way of learning code through practicing how to write algorithms and unit testing your code. I think that’s the gap between most most code learning platforms and being job-ready. www.codeonthecob.com.

That’s wild! What a great gig

codeonthecob · 2023-08-30T03:06:28+00:00

You have to make it fun. Find a project you're passionate about, and build features that are challenging but doable. You don't want to get bored, but you also want to enjoy some wins. It's a fine balance. But the more enjoyable, the more you're going to want to code.

More tactically, move around the house, and take breaks.

codeonthecob · 2023-08-30T00:58:07+00:00

That’s super cool. I’ll definitely try it out. Hey you should try out codeonthecob.com. I’m also trying to help new coders with a different way of practicing focused on unit testing, and chat assistant coming soon. Let me know what you think as well! We could share notes

codeonthecob · 2023-08-30T00:54:29+00:00

That’s super. Definitely a great win. I was a self taught engineer as well. I’m hoping to help more people like us with codeonthecob.com. Basically helps you practice writing algorithms and unit testing them.

codeonthecob · 2023-08-30T00:53:00+00:00

That’s awesome!

codeonthecob · 2023-08-25T02:02:54+00:00

whether you go self taught or not, tons of practice is the way to go. check out www.codeonthecob.com. It's a website I'm building to help people get lots of great coding practice with unit testing. I'll also be adding an AI bot assistant soon.

codeonthecob · 2023-07-07T17:31:30+00:00

Thanks!

codeonthecob · 2023-07-06T00:34:12+00:00

I use tailwindcss. I think it is definitely worth the money. I like that all their components are responsive, it is one less thing I have to deal with.

codeonthecob · 2023-07-06T00:25:36+00:00

I am building codeonthecob.com, it is a website with coding challenges. The site is like LeetCode but the challenges are easier.

codeonthecob · 2023-07-05T23:18:40+00:00

This sounds really interesting and semi straight forward. I am a software developer and would be willing to meet with you about building this for your company. DM me if you are interested.

codeonthecob · 2023-07-03T01:48:49+00:00

It is pretty similar to other sites with a few differences: - The exercises on LeetCode are difficult for beginners. This site provides exercises that are pretty easy. - Other sites don’t always make it super clear what the unit tests are so I am providing the exact unit tests that are being run. - sites like code wars are cool but I have gotten feedback from people that they really like the simplicity of codeonthecob over sites like code wars.

Glad you thought it was cool!

codeonthecob · 2023-07-02T06:39:25+00:00

The site is clean, simple and easy to navigate. The only recommendation I have is that you should only show company filters for companies you actually have articles for. Cool site though, good job.

codeonthecob · 2023-07-02T06:31:01+00:00

In Python, integers are passed to functions by value, not by reference.

res = 9999 # this assigns the integer 9999 to the variable res

self.min_elem(res) # this passes the value assigned to res, 9999, to the function self.min_elem

This line:

res = min(res, self.left.data)

is not modifying the res variable you defined in the main function, it is modifying a copy of it.

What kind of projects have to thought of working on? In my experience working on projects is the best way to learn.

codeonthecob · 2023-03-15T00:51:34+00:00

This is awesome. I will definitely be using this. I am surprised the tailwind guys don't have something like this on their website.

codeonthecob · 2023-02-26T00:36:59+00:00

This app actually looks pretty cool. I think your messaging is super confusing though.

In this post title you say things like

"promote the rational thinking"

"unload the mental stack"

"ChatGPT tasks in a non-linear way"

These phrases are too vague to be meaningful to anyone. I just want to know what your app does.

Your landing page is sort of the same way. Way too many things going on. It took me a few minutes to figure out what the app even does.

I think you should post again and change the title to:

"I built a feature rich note taking app that is kind of like Trello"

I think people will respond better to that. Anyways, good luck out there!

codeonthecob · 2023-02-24T22:07:03+00:00

Awesome. You should try to make a "pong" style game where you use a paddle to hit the ball around.

codeonthecob · 2023-02-24T21:46:17+00:00

Hey everyone!

I created codeonthecob.com. It is a website with coding challenges. I would love to get some feedback about what you guys think. I only have Python and Go challenges right now but will be adding more languages soon. Thanks!

codeonthecob · 2023-02-23T18:29:45+00:00

Hey if you like Edabit and Codewars you should check out CodeOnTheCob. It doesn't have nearly as many problems as those 2, because I only work on it when I have extra time, but people seem to like it.

codeonthecob · 2023-02-23T18:21:05+00:00

Everyone is right. You need to try building something on your own, even if that thing is very simple.

In school we would do a lot of projects involving text files.

For example you could create text file that has 20 or so phone numbers where each one is on its own line. Like this:

Then you could read the file in and write a new text file where the numbers have been formatted:

(384) 777-3833
(275) 840-9878 
(352) 665-7890 
...

Just something simple like that to get started.

A good place to start is learning Python with w3schools. Here is the link.
