Giving off a lot of mixed signals with this one, lol 😅

WalrusByte@lemmy.worldto Programming@programming.dev•What are some common misconceptions about programming that you'd like to debunk?English232·1 year agoWhat’s funny about this comic now is the second one has become very attainable in the years since it was released. The concept still applies though. Some things are a lot harder than they seem on the surface.
WalrusByte@lemmy.worldto Programming@programming.dev•DreamBerd is the funniest programming language ever.English22·1 year agoI wonder if it’s named after the YouTubers Dream and Berd. Interesting choice if so, haha!
Looks cool! I’d like to give it a try
WalrusByte@lemmy.worldto Programming@programming.dev•First year CS student currently on vacations looking for programming course to follow.English6·1 year agoIt might last a little longer if they don’t burn themselves out. Just my two cents, though
The biggest difference that I know of is Neovim uses Lua instead of Vimscript for plugins. I’m sure there’s some other stuff tacked on but idk what haha
I did bind it, but it still had a few annoyances (that I no longer remember what they are because it was a few years ago). I couldn’t really find a reason for me to use it other than people recommending it. I guess my use case is a bit different from theirs or something. Either way, I’m used to regular Vim now, so I don’t care to switch
I use regular vim. I hated typing the extra letter for neovim and didn’t find myself using any of its extra features anyway.
WalrusByte@lemmy.worldto Programming@programming.dev•Can one be too dumb for programming?English7·2 years agoYou need to pick a project to start out so you have a goal, then from there it’s just google searches for each individual part.
I started learning in High School because I wanted to create a game. I had learned a little bit of Java from a book my dad gave me, but I was kind of in the same spot as you at first where I didn’t know how to do anything other than follow along with the book.
But once I sat down with my goal to make a game, and just started Googling stuff, that’s when it started to click.
Python has easy syntax, so that might be a good place to start. You could google: “Python game library” and it would pull up something like PyGame. Then you could look up “Pygame tutorial” which would give you a baseline on how to set up a window, etc. If you have a hard time with Python fundementals, you could just google “python for loop” or “python functions”.
That’s pretty much what my learning process looked like: start with a goal, google how to get started, google each problem as it comes up. I still follow that same process to this day, and I have a CS degree now.
At the end of the day, it’s a skill just like anything else. Just takes practice. I don’t think anyone is too dumb to learn it, but it depends on how much you want it. If it’s not worth the effort for you then you probably never will.

Try Scrum Poker
This concept is hilarious to me 😂
WalrusByte@lemmy.worldto Selfhosted@lemmy.world•Are all these thousands of lemmy servers useless?English1·2 years agoTook me forever to realize I was subscribed to an r/mildlyinteresting and an r/mildyinteresting. Just figured they were the same thing and didn’t affect me much.
That code has a werewolf in it!
