How do you stay motivated when you're trying to teach yourself something new? I'm envious of programmers but the fact trying to build my skills in the arena would involve taking myself to that with only myself and my own intellect to overcome the specific roadblocks I could encounter and that sort of thing feels unmotivating to me. You can go to a forum and ask a question, maybe, but people just flowing in and out and dropping an answer might not hit upon your issue or feel timely. I feel like I really need either someone to learn alongside with or someone actually willing to take the time to walk through what I'm fucking up on to feel like I can actually commit to personal growth.
>>107740093ask chatGPT. Also when you ask ChatGPT, tune your settings so it does not gaslight you or talk to you like a woman.
>>107740093>How do you stay motivated when you're trying to teach yourself something new?My biggest character flaw.
>>107740113>ask chatGPT. Also when you ask ChatGPT, tune your settings so it does not gaslight you or talk to you like a woman.Ah nice, what are your settings I have set it to cynical mode.I am at least not that narcissistic to want my dick sucked each time it answers back.
>>107740093what are you trying to learn? be specific
>>107740154C++, honestly. I feel like if I got decent at it I could contribute to a decomp project or something.
>>107740174okay, I'm not a C++ dev, but I work in tech and learn on dailymy tip is to do a little bit every day, even like 30 minutes at first is good enoughmotivation is not gonna come from the air, for me it comes from sticking with something consistently and having visible results in itso pick a learning resource or create a learning / practice plan, and do it consistently on a daily basis, and with time you will see the fruits of your work which will fuel your motivation in the long run
>>107740174C(uck)++ is for homosexuals. Real hetero men learn Rust and Python.
>>107740093You need to a project to work on. The reason why you aren't learning when you try to teach yourself is that you don't have a real reason to learn the thing, because you are unsure how you're even going to use it.If you don't have a project, then go through Advent of Code as a place to get started, and test your code against the bigboys as well and aim for low times. Suddenly you atleast have your pride to motivate you to learn new things.
>>107740230>Rusttranny language>Pythonslow, shitskin filled, garbage libraries etc etc.you're a retard
>>107740251>You need to a project to work on.This is really the central thing I think I struggle with when it comes to programming (although it probably isn't the only thing). I have trouble visualizing things as a programmer might (that is taking an end state and then working through the problem backwards to see the solution in code).
>>107740288Sounds like you have a super low IQ. Are you brown by chance? Maybe you should stick to a field more suited to your intelligence, like McDonalds?Since you seem to be of low IQ, allow me to rephrase that in your language...Aye yo, you b dum as sheeeiiittt, u b bess gittin dat money from McDeez
>>107740261>tranny languageNot an actual criticism, just regurgitated buzzwords from someone who is probably unemployed, underachieving and has never made anything worthwhile in any of the languages being discussed.
>>107740429>getting mad at bait
>>107740429I don't need to taste shit in order to recognize shit, you dumb tranny negroidalso rust has like lowest amount of job postings so you're the unemployed one here
>>107740441Yeah, you're legit pretty fucking stupid. Bet you're uneducated and unemployed as well.
>>107740473>words words wordsgo ACK yourself, you vile transvestite
>>107740481Are you the same person who responded to me? Just wondering.
>>107740481>Doesn't deny itOpinion disregarded
>>107740288You don't work backwards, you work forwards. Start with the data you have, the data you want, and figure out the data transformations that will take you from A to B.
Stop helping this shithead. He's not one of us.
>>107740429Tranny language
>>107740093Study, you stupid faggot.Get off of /g/ and stare at your code until it makes sense.
I want to learn Cisco IOS.
>>107740093Usually what I'm learning is related to getting a new job. And my motivation skyrockets when I have to deal with stupid shit at work.
>>107740093>I'm envious of programmers but the fact trying to build my skills in the arena would involve taking myself to that with only myself and my own intellect to overcome the specific roadblocks I could encounter and that sort of thing feels unmotivating to me.The fact that programming is to a large extent "my intelligence versus the world" is precisely what makes it so interesting and indeed motivating to me. If you dislike that dynamic, programming may not be for you.
>>107740812>"my intelligence versus the world"If the world was a worthy opponent, sure. But it's not. It's like beating a retarded child, with the child being too stupid to admit defeat until it runs into incoming traffic - and everyone's bending over themselves to let the retarded child be euthanized.
>>107740093I'm a very strong C and CUDA systems dev, I also wrote a lot of Haskell for a decade. I believe that programming is unhealthy and unnatural. The things I finally get working, if I explain them to my wife is embarrassing. Things like parsing compiled elf binaries to figure out how many registers a cuda kernel needs to launch.Programming scratches an itch like factorio or planning paths through games that optimizes the crafting system etc... No woman finds your factorio builds or minecraft machines cool. Most people should be embarrassed they spend this much time thinking about the puzzles they solve.
>>107740894AI will replace you LMAO. Seeing code trannies seethe and beg for Burger King jobs will make my peepee harder than any phat assed Latina ever could. Even harder then seeing "artists" seethe and cope, which has been legendary and fun!
>>107741167I love how overtly envious you are.
>>107741208I write in Python, retard. AI will replace me too, but I'm not a Chud and have other talents, degrees, and skills that are just as employable.
>>107741231>I write in Pythonso you're not a real programmer, and a retard, got it. Keep us posted.
>>107741244Python is the only language any straight white man should touch, Ravi. Now get back to your call center job, the phone inks ringing. And don't forget the needful for the day
>>107741263>Python is the only language any straight white man should touchTell me more about straight white men (which you're obviously not).>t. straight white man
>>107740093>why is my cock so hard?
>>107740093>feels unmotivatingyou need to find something that is around your skill lelvel, nut slightly more complex. that way you you dont have to figure out 1 million things at once, you get progress, but you still need to figure shit out. this level will obviously increase each project.>im stuckunironically AI, it caters to your context plus it will be good enough for a beginner
>>107741263I can tell you were touched as a child (not what straight white men should go through)
>>107741375>lelvel, nutlevel, but*
>>107740135Picrel is my settings. Default tone is also ok with the same characteristics
>>107741997Will ChatGPT sex talk me? I need to coom
You chose c++ for your first language? Nigga, first learn the way of thinking with something like python, then start harder languages
>>107740093...just ask questions
>>107742197What are you on about? Python is way harder than C(uck)++
>>107740093Coding is hard because there are too many programming languages (+500).Coding is hard because uses words of English language, only 5% of the human population read and write in English.Coding is hard because is a generic office work, your write code in a textfile of the size of The Holy Bible, and CEOs and Managers stole you Copyright.
>>107742390>only 5% of the human population read and write in EnglishYou should have been white, looks like you lost LMAO.
