they ask you a single question about your code and you're fucked. land a coding internship with no knowledge base (somehow) and they'll realise damn near instantly that you're missing critical core info like understanding functions, permissions, syntax, if-else statements, for/while loops, or even simpler shit like declaring variables.. when you get in there and go "sorry, what are the curly braces accomplishing?" you're glow in the dark.
once you can understand that code on GitHub that you're copying, why each character is where it is, what the functions are accomplishing, why they use the operators they use, and how the code is structured, you stand a ghost of a chance. until then, give up hope of faking your way to a programmer job.

I haven’t seen a single person here mention leetcode.com. This website contains over a thousand interview practice problems. Literally all you have to do to get a job at a big tech company is do over a hundred of these problems and understand the solutions. Source: I work at google. I don’t care if you believe me or not.

youre literally just saying "how do I learn to code?" now. eventually you're not faking it anymore.

honestly for simple data structures and functions I started with Unity scripting tutorials when I was a neet. it's not as simple as python but starting with c# syntax isn't an awful way to go. it introduces arguments and visualizes outputs of functions pretty intuitively, but you don't learn really anything about data structures like libraries and manipulating lists and such. there are also a fair number of tutorials regarding persistence and objects. codeacademy is another way to start. relatively quickly you can start punching in some simple code to see if it does what you want it to do, why it doesn't, and what you need to change or are missing.

fuck math. I suck at math and I never use it. Only maybe 1% of programmers actually work in fields that need math. They make the most money though.

pick something easy that interest you and build it. If you dont know how, google it, go on forums, chatrooms, whatever. Ask "how can I build x". Most of the time everything has been done before and it's actually easy to use someone's code and change it slightly.

The easy stuff I started with was spam bots because that's what I was interested in. Games are easy to make. Websites are easy to make. Data Science and machine learning is pretty easy too if you find the right tutorial.

You should never give up because some tutorial is too hard or too boring. There's infinite easy AND interesting shit you can do with programming, you just gotta keep searching till you find it.

Yeah, depends on the uni of course. (Same goes for biochem at other unis where they don't even need calc, physics, or physical chemistry).

At my uni comp sci is just intro to discrete structures and 1 year of calc. (They start at precalc).

I've been fond of this mindset, that owning a business and providing a product or service is productively using your time to build/create something out of nothing. if you're a neet, don't you like the idea of using your brainpower to meme your ideas into being? otherwise, if you're not trying to influence your reality, what's the point of life? self employment is the true red pill.

Hello folks, just wanted to bump my earlier posts. You guys are doing a lot of arguing, just wanted to draw your attention to the blueprint I have laid out for how to become a techy wagecuck that at least has a decent salary (cannot fix social stunting).

I have met people who have followed this path and landed big boy tech jobs easy. I spent the last semester of grad school only doing leetcode and got multiple offers. Leetcode is the answer, leetcode is all that matters, leetcode is life

>> No.14878992

>>14878959
My icebreaker at google orientation was “how many leetcode problems did you do?” And 90% of the time got an answer that was greater than 50.

Well yeah you can grind leetcode a fuckton but unless you understand CS you wont get much out of it: what happens when you get asked a problem you haven't seen before

Senior Java developer here. Google 'Helsinki MOOC java'. Spend two weeks doing this. After this, make a console based Tic Tac Toe from scratch to exercise your problem solving skills. Then learn Spring/rest API's and you'll have the corporate world at your feet.

>> No.14879126

>>14879088
That’s why I also recommend self learning data structures and algos before leetcode, or use “cracking the coding interview” which goes over a lot of basics. Part of grinding leetcode is not just memorizing the answers, it is absorbing the patterns that you see so you can apply them to other questions. 40% of my interview questions have consisted of DFS or sliding window substring problems.

bad idea. Although it depends on your intelligence/inherent ability to grasp coding. I personally graduated a coding bootcamp (barely eeked by) and realized it wasnt for me. Coding is not as straightforward and simple as you think, you have to keep track of a lot of spinning plates in the air, its not simple 1+1. Going into the coding bootcamp I had the misperception that coding was just a matter of applying yourself and rote memorization but it actually requires a lot more than that. Coding is definitely not for everyone and the only person who could get a job pretending that they know how to code would probably have started learning to code already years ago

usually when these kind of people say they cant do math they dont literally mean they can't do math, they just mean that they're not a math whiz. they're still usually decent with numbers

I on the other hand am absolutely abysmal with math, and this inability to keep track of multiple abstractions in mind mind carries over to programming as well, keeping me from being able to do that

A: There's almost ALWAYS a code challenge of some kind as part of the interview process. You'd easily fail it if you don't know shit.

CE and EE folks call CS codemonkeys for just implementing existing algorithms they got from stackoverflow instead of actually using your brain doing low level programming

Truth to the matter is, if you can't even write your own compiler, you're probably just writing the same code millions of other people have written years ago and are as useful to the company as a quick google search.

If you want to be taken seriously, take the effort to learn about hardware and low level languages. Also the only way to avoid being replaced by a streetshitter
