I don't know, he doesn't really seem like much of a cow to me. He's got some esoteric takes on philosophical and social issues, and takes his personal privacy rather seriously, but he doesn't otherwise come across as a seether in my eyes. His attempts at pretense and "owning" other people on Twitter are admittedly cringe-inducing, but he comes across more as an armchair intellectual than a warrior for St. Elliot Rodger.
God bless lolcow farms, they really come through once in awhile.
She's a lolbertarian who doesn't look like she plays bass in a ska band so I can understand why they'd want to parade her around.
I've never seen anyone learn to code by reading a book. Learning a language by looking up stuff in a book - sure, but the ability to actually program a computer to do what you want seems completely unteachable. About 5-10% of people simply automatically pick it up, these days usually in high school, the rest is lost forever. One of the biggest blackpills.
Strong disagree. It's more like a skilled trade than a fine art. You need the right foundation and a pile of experience but you can brute force competence if you're willing to put the work in. The harder part is doing it if you aren't interested, but that's not unique to programming. Doing anything you truly dislike for hours and hours wears you down and no amount of compensation will make you enjoy it in the long run.
The problem is with the foundation. I regularly see people holding programming jobs who can't program. As in, can't tell the computer to do what needs to be done, when the thing to be done is obvious. I'm not talking about inventing clever optimizations, I'm talking about literal for loops. These people get by entirely by copy-pasting without understanding or offloading work on other people and brown-nosing the bosses. You're very lucky if you haven't seen this phenomenon.
Unfortunately true. You could learn to code by reading a book if and only if the student completed exercises along with the material. Like a math book.
That makes sense, I think I was kind of talking past you before. I've definitely worked with assholes who got by copying shit and then trying to tweak it to do what they wanted without having ever bothered to learn why it works or how to recreate it. I thought you were saying that programmatic skills couldn't really be learned or taught without some underlying aptitude, which I disagree with, but I agree that stack exchange and some reference materials aren't a substitute for practice and experience in the fundamentals of whatever you're doing.
This is what I'm saying. These fakers are clearly the end result of lack of aptitude. No sane person would thrash stuff for days by trial and error if they could do it in minutes by understanding how it works. And yet they do that.
lol okay then I do disagree with you
When it comes to Aella, I suspect half of it is an act. She plays a damsel in need of rescuing, the simps jump on to rescue her and everyone is happy. Some men like this kind of thing.
It's easy to imagine not at all unkind because he wasn't wrong.
oh god, starting with launching python.exe and having just a command line window has got to be the most retarded way ever to start with python
"I wanna learn python to do data analysis on the data I have, I'm goal driven."
I was wondering about that, as well as why she claims her survey data was "too big for google sheets" and then apparently her entire computer.
