I spent a decade thinking coding was hard, and then I actually get around to doing it and I'm apparently really good at it.
Coding is easy anons, techcels are just miserable little fucks that like to make out it's an elite field.
If the only thing stopping you is thinking you're too stupid for it, I say just go for it.
What if I wasn't able to figure out ninth grade math and can't get PS1 emulators to work without help?
You vastly - VASTLY - underestimate exactly how fucking stupid most people are. Even seemingly functional people.
Coding is easy for you because you have "elite" intelligence and just didn't realize it all this time.
what if the most basic things that I know about coding are "for" and "if" loops only
The main difficulty about coding is dealing with the tedium. Try making an actual mock app instead of those textbook problems and see if you still like it. I definitely don't.
That's the secret, I never plan on working in tech because I despise codecels.
I'm happy remaining in blue collar and just coding in my free time. I wanna make my own OS like Terry Davis did.
naive take. its like saying cooking is easy. yes everyone can boil eggs. not everyone can make an operating system or full 3d engine. take minecraft, it was made by 1 guy and he got 2billion dollars, but we dont see many coders making things by themselves zero from the ground up and getting 2 billion dollars.
Survivorship bias. One guy who won the lottery is a billionaire, most people who buy a ticket aren't.
I don't really care to be the best or the most elite. I just have a fascination with it. Everyone here bringing it back to money shows the problem with codecels, none of you actually care about computers, at all. It's all "MONEY MONEY MONEY" six figures this, FAANG that.
Yes, coding is easy. Most people are just retards, though. Even "experienced coders" will skimp on unit tests and commit broken code.
>Coding is easy anons
I've basically dedicated my life to becoming a tech monk. Sure coding can be easy, but it's about more than just writing code. Depending on your field you have to know the ins and outs of memory management, how to architect scalable web solutions, etc.
Coding is not considered an elite field retard. Programming is. You won't get paid much for muh coding. It's essentially repetitive unskilled process work but with keyboards.
typing in a line of code from an online guide after spending an hour on instructions to install an IDE and getting the one output that you were bound to get does not make you a coder you complacent prick. if you think you're too stupid, you probably are. and coding is the most non technical aspect of computer science. you brainlet. go back to flipping burgers
Honestly if you can navigate through windows or Mac like changing settings and killing programs you can get an IT job
>Depending on your field you have to know the ins and outs of memory management
My C textbook talks about this with the malloc() function a bit but I don't geddit. My online compilers work fine without it.
Every time I talk about optimization it's like "lol why". We live in an era with an abundance of memory, so outside of people developing compilers or intricate systems for small electronics, nobody really cares about optimization anymore.
No coding is so filled with surplus amounts of shit coders Im surprised everything works almost I pray for the sage wisdom of Terry
>coding to programming is what typing is to actually writing a book
How can one man be this based?
Kek, try again cunt, I look up problems and refuse to even look at example code until I solve it. I don't even use library functions.
But how you described is how I started, and there's nothing wrong with that. What's wrong with someone going down to the library, getting an old textbook, copying the code, and then changing the variables around to experiment?
Replicate a basic 3d game from the 90s like Doom with your own original code, then come back and say how easy coding is
>Coding is easy anons, techcels are just miserable little fucks that like to make out it's an elite field.
Or maybe it's just easy for you, but not others.
>bragging about being able to replicate library functions
kek those are beginner exercises to learn a language, you've just outed yourself as a computer normie.

And are most people in the field doing that? Are they going through the history, incrementally finding how things are developed, and then going and using vector analysis to generate 3D graphics?
No, they're solving problems that have been solved before for the most part, and can follow the breadcrumbs.
