i don't claim to be good at coding, but i've spent a lot of time doing it and have improved over the past year. during which i got good at math. and i will make the claim that apart from spending more time coding, the best thing you can do to get good at coding is to get good at
habits habits habits, that's all what rational life comes down to. so make a habit of studying every day. sure as hell fucked me up to not have a habit
i. don't. give. a. fuck.
i like hot gay people more, they do more, they contribute more, they are better for the roles i need to climb the kardashev scale
i'll let straights run and play basketball.
i did not understand this in high school but you really do need to have a passion for whatever it is that you study. and this is why stem majors and philosophy majors earn similarly in the workforce. they both needed to sit down and wrap their heads around difficult topics. i

i’m not talking about the math needed in a program, i’m taking about once you know math and how to do it well, you will process code differently due to being more logical and mathematical in your thoughts + an improved processing speed

i said comfortable, not rich, if i wanted to be rich i’d become an entrepreneur; work hard for 10-15 years and boom rich for life. being a software engineer is just a job, and you don’t get particularly rich
everyone should read “Structure and Interpretation of Computer Programs” by Hal Abelson & two Sussman’s
nothing else will help your programming and understanding of programming better than this textbook. i highly recommend it
can anyone else determine their own cognition speed, as in how fast they process events? for me i can go from near precognition to being incredibly fucking slow, so i really don’t know. this is another aspect of panicking that i really hate. my brain is a curse
@AltHistCody
gonna show video of a modern day soldier in nevada with a drone to a japanese soldier circa 1940's that seppuku'ed because of a technicality
i don't like using LLM's for problem solving, but holy fuck, sonnet 3.5 will be able to teach me almost everything i need to know. no need to ask classmates who might be wrong and/or confused themselves. no need to look at geeksforgeeks website (which was admittedly a life saver
@mike_hasarms
no, just algebra/trig/calc and hard problems inside those subjects. less about knowing math to apply to future coding problems than mathematical thinking and processing
beauty is not in the eye of the beholder, some formulas and subjects are unequivocally beautiful. the fundamental theorem of calculus is one such thing
@iamgingertrash
they followed me when i had under 100 followers, idk how. they’re american and work in software which is obvious, not a scammer or anything + a real person
LMAOOOOOO there’s a warning at the start of this The Boys episode because they’re gonna attempt to assassinate the President as they’ve been planning all season long. what a fucking prescient show
one issue with people is they believe the lie of “you can’t get better” and usually they’re only lying to themselves. you can always get better if you put in the time
everyone has brilliant ideas: coding and education in general is simply a medium to have more ideas, have your ideas be more structured, and be able to bring your ideas from the aether into the real world
sometimes i lack the capacity to have interesting thoughts, this overlaps when i’m the most stable and healthy mentally. and judging by what others say on twitter this is the norm
i’m not certain, however i strongly believe that the modern day american school system is more geared towards automatically passing people for being able to repeat others. rather than any sort of critical thinking
