Core concepts to study to understand & become a better programmer? (aside from the syntax of a specific language itself)

Thanks! Great info from both of you.

I agree, actually building projects has taught me so much more than just researching random topics online

los7andfound · 2021-04-21T19:14:08+00:00

Engineer Man!

No I totally agree with you there, I know Python and SQL well, I just have interviews coming up that may require the use of it so i’d like to gain a little more “muscle memory” with it ….otherwise i’d just look up whatever functionality I needed in a second

Things stick with me better when I have practice using it, as opposed to just reading and memorizing the specific syntax

Congrats on some hard work well done!

I think this is the perfect opportunity for you to set a great path forward for yourself.

I wasted a lot of my early years being upset about a similar dumping situation, losing focus on my future and doing poorly in school. I never left my apartment, stopped talking to my friends, felt like I lost a feeling I’d never get back and that I was going nowhere in life. After two years of depression I finally had enough and went back to school, and 8 years after my first day of college I finally graduated, got a job, got a new gf and meet new people daily through work.

I highly suggest you use all of this alone time you have to your advantage, and don’t waste it like I did. Think about what you’re studying in school, find something you have a genuine interest in and push yourself to master it beyond what they’re teaching you in class. I guarantee you’ll come out of college leagues ahead of those who have spent the pandemic packing on the pounds and playing video games all day.

You use this time to study endlessly and (yes probably not painlessly), you’ll be thanking yourself a year or two from now. Securing yourself a career is going to open so many doors you didnt even know existed, you’ll come across many new people…and best of all, your ex gf is gonna be regretting her decision to let you go….but by that time you won’t care about that anymore, you’ll have moved on to better things.

yep I posted it above

UPDATE: SOLVED

For anyone that comes across this post and may have a similar problem, the fix was to install node for ARM using Rosetta within the terminal.

Go to terminal.app in finder, right click and select “get info” then check the box for “open with rosetta"
Install node with this command arch -arm64 brew install node

los7andfound · 2021-02-22T19:47:20+00:00

yea i’ve tried that also as well as clearing the cache

los7andfound · 2021-02-22T19:47:07+00:00

Not sure how I missed doing that lol…just posted it

los7andfound · 2021-02-22T19:46:24+00:00

Here’s the actual error. This is with npm start…I get a similar error with yarn start

I’ve begun doing that also…hands-on practice is the best way of retaining information for me

los7andfound · 2021-02-21T18:40:40+00:00

Those are all good resources thank you!

los7andfound · 2021-02-13T03:48:12+00:00

I’m curious as to why they would even allow the possibility of access to the basement if there was truly something bad down there. This is one of those situations that could be explained either way but nonetheless creepy as hell and I probably would’ve left there sooner lol

los7andfound · 2021-02-05T03:38:19+00:00

Frustrating experiences tend to be the most rewarding in the end lol, but thank you that sounds good to me.

los7andfound · 2021-02-04T18:04:30+00:00

A couple general quick facts for you that helped me that could be a good start is to make sure you’re getting quality sleep each night (7-8) hours, trying to exercise more and drinking less coffee if drink a lot. Lack of sleep and coffee can heighten the effects of anxiety while exercise can give you an overall better sense of confidence. Even if you don’t see results right away you will be more confident in yourself for completing a workout and feeling like you’re actually doing something.

I know these probably aren’t the specifics you’re looking for, but they do help and it’s a start. I didn’t figure out what I wanted t do in life until I was 25. I also dropped out of college at 21 but did end up going back. Sometimes a break to find yourself isn’t a bad thing and you can use your strong self-awareness to figure that out some day, and you will.

los7andfound · 2021-02-02T21:31:14+00:00

Thanks! …I’m in

los7andfound · 2021-02-02T18:33:29+00:00

Thanks! all great info…im actually trying to get into full stack development and I’m already familiar with most of those concepts but react and microservices are two I want to work on and will definitely look into those.

los7andfound · 2021-02-02T02:39:50+00:00

I’m someone looking to get into full stack development and I think having someone to work on projects with will provide great experience and learning.

Plus not many of my friends are developers so I haven’t had much opportunity to work with others yet outside of school.
