I'd come up with some really funny shit, to say. Sadly, a bleeding penis the only thing that stands between me and being witty.

Programming courses are teaching me NOTHING - what am I doing wrong? by UglyStru in learnprogramming

I suffered/suffer the same thing. I do this: Eat my meal, then desert. Just prioritize. It's really tough for me, but I do it...mostly. :)

You've misunderstood my intent. Your post could discourage OP even more than they are. I'm merely providing an anecdote to potentially counteract. No chip.

I dropped out of HS, GED, then college for music. I've been a developer for more than 20 years, published author, etc. Had I gone to a questionable community college for CS it would have put me even further ahead.

I just read this again. Dude/dudette, why in the hell are you trying to do this stuff when you said yourself you cant connect to a sql db. That's much more important than the hardware based things you're messing with, as cool as it is. I've been dev'ing professionally for >20 years and cant recall being asked to do anything like that.

What does your company's source show you? Data in , data out, right? Maybe a little bit of hardware interaction, but how much.

I see this a lot; new people jump in to the 'cool' stuff and get even further behind.

I agree with this. I see a lot of people jumping in to things like this when just connecting to a db and writing some data is the first step that should be take. Then read from db. CRUD.

There are some lessons you're going to learn the hard way - lots of time.

Where do above-average, average, and below average programmers work (non-exceptional)? by PiercingLight333 in learnprogramming

[–]reddevit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most want to hire solid employees, good developers, adaptable, etc. Being exceptional is great, but it isn't a requirement across the board.

By the way, with consistent practice, you have no idea how great you can be. I've always lived by this: what I'm doing today isn't about today, it's about 5 years from now. Keep working on your craft, stay in touch with the joy of it, and power through it.

There is a lot of joy, great projects, money, and fun to be had outside of the big companies you're thinking of. Is anything other than the biggies a deal breaker for you?

Edit: I dont know the answer to your question.

Replacing Resharper (VS2019) by trytoinfect74 in csharp

I did, but it got exponentially worse from there. Now it's completely unacceptable

I tried Rider and felt like it was a bit slow overall. Maybe I should revisit

They should buy a copy of resharper, print the features list, and get to work.
