It would be really cool to be able to program a video game, is coding a worthy cope, or should I just play video games
Just rot tbh
B
probably worth it to moneymaxx and careermax if you get good. I'm too lazy to bother though
B
How do you cope?
If you are good at it. I tried but I am too retarded for it even though I like it. I don't even understand the basics.
The tech boom is over, now they're in the middle of flooding the market so coding becomes a useless but needed prerequisite for jobs and they can pay ppl min wage for it.
I'm too low iq for that
being bad at a cope you like turns into suicidefuel
you'll be competing with high iq types who started doing it at age six or competing with low iq foreigners who produce trash code and basically scam everyone for pennies
just another winner take all type industry
just another winner take all type industry
D
Do you actually need to be high IQ for it?
G
Code:
you might be able to
cope with it to moneymaxx
to afford good copes
but
it sounds boring and complex
chad earns more in tips being a waiter
than you ever will
saving the world with codeYou do. I have an iq of 118 and do not understand the basics.
I don't. The end is nigh
D
Wtf, you being serious? It's over then. In what way is it complicated? Is it the maths?
Dude I probably hover around the same iq and it's not hard.
Is it the concepts? Or is it the compiler throwing incomprehensible garbage at you when you try to run your program?

It’s not overly complicated technically for high level stuff. It’s just spending time learning how to do it all and put it together. High effort and time investment.
Complex algorithms is another ball game but pedestrian code is just effort. I taught myself using google android and tutorials online and just started making shit.
Don’t mistake iq for effort and willingness to work. Some people would rather just watch anime lol.
This is true. Most jobs now require a some coding knowledge.
These days I make apps and games for additional income. It's tough if you have to depend on it entirely, but for me making games is my dream job. When I'm implementing some cool mechanic or seeing the game come together or just going through the bug reports and fixing them one by one, my usual worries and shitty thoughts just disappear.
So yes, I'd recommend it for coping though not necessarily for making a living.

Algorithms aren't hard either. They're usually a rule or trick to them.
Graphics programming isn't too hard either. It's basically layering concepts on top of already understood concepts until you have a complex abstraction.
What's really difficult is reading someone else's code fast and accurately. Being able to find your way in a huge codebase and shit like that. Code is incredibly dense in terms or amount of information per line. Reading it is just raw brainpower

Sorry let me further clarify. Developing novel algorithms versus implementing.
Agreed on most other. I think ocd is a better term for dealing with your code and others . I’ve had quite a bit of code published and if you write it well and document extremely well it’s easy to navigate. Takes twice as long to code this way but pays off long term.
Novel efficient algorithms
You could probably solve most NP problems by just rewriting your common sense thought process into an algorithm. But doing it efficiently is another beast. Once it devolves into actual autistic hardcore math and bit hacking I'm lost
F
Pretty much accurate.
Probably the case for 90% of people in the industry. I have even heard it when I talked to some programmers. A lot of people think it's fun before they try to actually do it. They associate it with the fun of playing video games.

No, it's too fucking hard for me.
It is. The thing with coding though is that many people make it out to be simpler than it is
Everyone and their mother can write a for loop in some language for women like python to iterate over a small array, but once you start talking about algorithms and shit its where most people start to fuck off because it essentially becomes math, and 99% of people cant even wrap their head around something like mathematical induction ffs
Then if you wanna speed up your application you also have to understand the internals of how a computer works so you can abuse caching and whatnot
Now if your code doesnt work for some reason you have to debug it, which can be tedious
It can be fun though once you know the basics at least
@BenzoLord32 if youre down try make an account and leetcode and try doing some problems like this: https://leetcode.com/problems/two-sum/
The interview process for most coding jobs is basically like this, they give you a puzzle question and you have to solve it by explaining your approach and then coding it

Only for junior devs. This title has become pretty immaterial over the years. Companies will forever pay top dollar for talent. I'm still new to this and I'm making well over 75k. As long as you market yourself as a middle level dev and know your stuff you'll be good. Oversaturation doesnt happen because not everyone has the aptitude to do this line of work. Theres a reason why it's well paid.
if you have an original idea, finding a codemonkey to write the mechanics is the least of your problems

i am too low IQ to code
Coding a game alone takes ages. And in most game dev companies there are a lot of foids 'working'.
Probably the concepts. I tried to understand C++ numerous times and read lots of things but I could not tell you anything about it right now. It just flew right out of my mind.
I learned Qbasic and I can handle myself pretty well in that low iq language, but that is as far as my programming goes

C/C++ are the only legit truecel languages, everything else is for normalfags, python especially
If you code in python or java youre either a woman or a fag, no way around it
I'd rather be the Creative Director of a video game tbh bth...
€0]€
Man i dont even understand java so if i try to learn C/C++ my head will legit explode ...
Coding is cucked, tinder was built with code and therefore coding has helped foids get chad more easily
D
Kek no it's not a good cope. I tried to make volume and surface area calculator with Matlab and report data inputter with C code and they're hellish. But it was because of my exams
It's a good cope if you manage to monetise it, otherwise it's nothing to get excited about.
everything is COPE bro, the only SOLUTION is to ROPE.
