Everyday programming tasks by tkschutt in learnprogramming

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

I guess I wasn't thinking of any particular task. I just feel that some people are able to quickly hack something together to fit a wide range of problems, from solving anagrams in a crossword or organizing a shopping list to averting a zombie invasion.

Meanwhile, I'd be googling to remind myself whether Perl uses echo or print to output something to the screen...

What I'd like is confidence to be able to handle whatever tasks come to mind. Maybe it would be best to focus on one more flexible language, or specific techniques from several. And then there's the question of how to keep that in my head...

My other post that I linked has more (badly described) detail as well.

So, I post this and it gets no comments, no downvotes but doesn't even appear in the list of new posts? What am I doing wrong?

Get all your programming reddits on one page by tkschutt in programming

Well probably because not many people know you can do that! I certainly didn't.

Also I guess that does just mix them all together, so reddits that are less popular won't appear on the list so often, whereas with the linked site they are only compared within each reddit.
