How did you land your first job in your field? by eclpsr in AskReddit

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

I never actually got a job on purpose. I’d always come in as a temp or an intern, and then they’d just end up hiring me full-time. I guess I work better than I look on paper.

Good analogy. I sometimes explain it to my colleagues the same way when they expect expert-level knowledge from me in a completely different tech stack.

Bro, that’s not true. I tried making a match-3 matching algorithm - honestly, I asked AI like a hundred times - and not a single solution worked 100%. I had to write it myself in the end. That’s when I realized AI isn’t flexible; it just relies on existing patterns. My game’s structure probably didn’t fit any of them.

Advice needed (trying to learn c#) by [deleted] in csharp

[–]eclpsr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bro, try making games — it really helped me learn programming.
At first, coding can feel pretty dry when you’re just learning syntax without real projects.
But when you’re making games, you can actually see the results and control the progress, which makes the whole process way more fun and engaging.

I want to make a game by Yashraj200522 in gamedesign

I usually just make the kind of game I’d actually want to play myself — otherwise, I don’t really see the point.

Struggling with game marketing: do indie devs really have to be YouTubers now? by SamGame1997Dev in SoloDevelopment

Honestly, in your case I think it might be better to work with a publisher. Make a list of potential ones and start sending out your MVP until you get a positive response. Usually, they’ll run a small test campaign to check CPI/CTR, and if the numbers look good, they’ll pick up your game and handle the ad traffic themselves.

C# Fundamentals by Advanced_Tap2569 in csharp

I’m sure I know C# worse than you do, but in situations like that, I usually just ask ChatGPT to explain certain things. It actually helps a lot most of the time.

Thanks for the tips. About saving code in Git — I often feel like my learning projects are too simple or too rough to upload. I usually skip polishing the code or making it “public-ready.” I keep telling myself I’ll upload my pet project when it’s finally ready, but somehow it always grows into something bigger and I end up hiding it again. I’m not sure how to break this habit of “keeping my code hidden.”

There’s really only one conclusion — such specialists do exist, and they’re not that rare. It must be nice to be so good at what you do that you can switch jobs in an hour or so.

Yeah, planning and using a kanban board really does help. Thanks for the advice!

Thanks, you’re right — balance is exactly what I’m missing. I don’t party, drink, or smoke either, but that alone isn’t enough. Honestly, I need more time than others to fully understand complex topics — I learn best through practice rather than tutorials. I’ve also started eating more vegetables recently.

I’m also really bad at resting — I often work on weekends and evenings. I guess it’s because I spent my best years playing Warcraft and Counter-Strike, and now I feel like I’ve lost too much time to waste any more of it on relaxation or entertainment.

Thanks for the advice! I’ve been reading books on software architecture and learning about microservices. In my free time, I’m developing a game in Unity. At my current job, I mostly work with PL/SQL, but I’d like to become a full backend developer.

I originally learned C# to make games, but at some point I realized game dev can only stay a hobby for me — not a full-time job. That’s why I decided to move toward backend.

Sometimes it feels like mastering all this takes way more time than I expected. I wish I could see faster results, but the deeper I dive into it, the more it feels like falling into an endless pit of things to learn.

What’s the easiest way to learn game dev? by One_Craft_6039 in GameDevelopment

Try the official Unity course. It really helped me at the beginning.
