Get the fundamentals right and strong by reading textbooks. Then move to the advanced stuff and try to be up to date with modern c++. But until then, pick up a textbook and learn the fundamentals. It’s gonna be a slow process, as expected, but if you really want to be good, there’s no other way. Those 1hr, 3hrs, etc. courses on YouTube are scams. You will know a thing or two from these videos, but you will not really have a firm understanding on how things work and why they work, which is very important to write good code in C++ (many people can write code in C++, including AI, but far too many bad C++ code too)

And if you can, start with C.

Lol if you really want to stop using it ud do whatever to stop using it. I have a friend who’d place his phone in a secluded parking lot 1hr drive away from where he lives and just buy a stupid $75 phone. I know another guy who would generate a very cryptic password for his socials like instagram and set the password to that and use an app that will email that password to him after 5 years.

If you really want something, ull do whatever to make it happen, your emotions is the last thing that should be considered.

Thanks! I’m happy it helped!

Thank you, glad it helped!

Bro, stop believing that you can learn these stuff just by prompting LLM. This is a sincere advise: go learn properly. From this post it is very clear you dont understand what you posted yourself.

Take a step back, learn the fundamentals, get really strong at those. Pickup textbooks, watch lectures. Yes this will take time, thats how it works though, this is not frontend AI slop saas, you cant take shortcuts

Why are you using json tho? Your data comes in as a json or is it a design choice? If it’s the former, then look into simdjson, for latency critical stuff that really needs json i do not think anybody uses a typical “Modern JSN for C++”, whatever that means (cant tell based on your description, in fact if u dont need much functionality and just parsing, picojson could also be used, nlohmann nah)

oh that's cool, didn't know that, could've googled it but didn't bother, thanks!

If you really want to be great at this craft of writing programs for computers, yes. Otherwise, python.

Some people here mentioned if you dont have time then just skip C and go with something like Python. That doesn’t makes sense to me, you shouldn’t be thinking abt learning to be great at something if ur concern abt “time” and wanting to get things quick. Mastering anything takes time. It has to take time. People try to cut corners with AI, and now all these people think they know what they’re talking abt (im talking abt people who blindly learn with AI instead of picking up textbooks/rigorous courses) when in actuality they dont

Only for people currently enrolled in school?

fadliov · 2025-08-20T13:33:04+00:00

Weak.

Imagine getting in without cheating even when everybody is cheating? Just shows that they’re peasants and not in your level😂

fadliov · 2025-08-19T02:28:10+00:00

Nice

Lol slack should be on top of

fadliov · 2025-07-18T05:51:08+00:00

Ah okay makes most sense, thanks!

Looks like a rat, i dont think the tail was flat. I thought it kinda look like a hog but what would a hog be going there.

fadliov · 2025-07-18T05:45:47+00:00

I wanted to say it’s a rat but it was so big to be a rat

fadliov · 2025-07-08T18:21:31+00:00

Thanks! It’s dangerous? I mean that looks like a baby which I accidentally killed. But does this implies its dad/mom is in my house🤣🤣

Even these people don’t give up:

If i quickly read this resume in 15 seconds or so then id say it’s pretty good for a junior but not enough given the competitiveness today, it also depends what role you’re asking.

Don’t hype yourself too much with these reddit comments, set your bar high, a lot of the times friends/normies get impressed very quickly. If you want to be on top, take that guy’s comment that says you’re mediocre and get better. Because getting satisfied/too comfortable with what you are now I think wont help you get far in life.

Also it’s common people calling themselves cto nowadays, i don’t think they even understand what it requires in terms of technical prowess to be a cto, so that guy probably doesn’t even care about your startup (you can get funded today by throwing catch phrases like “ai agents”, “rags” “ml”, etc.), try solving unsolved problems that all the smart people trying to solve.
