I have tried for 20 years to get into coding, and among adhd and having 10 million other projects going on, just could never get it beyond absolute basics and knowing some differences between languages.
Now it seems every tutorial I see is really just clicking around in a gui. Very little actual typing of code, which is the part I actually find cool and interesting.
So my question is, since everyone on lemmy is a programmer, what do you guys actually do? Is it copying and pasting tons of code? Is it fixing small bugs in Java for a website like “the drop down field isn’t loading properly on this form”?
I just dont get what “a full stack developer sufficient in sql and python” actually does. Also i dont know if that sentence even made sense!
What model was the computer that didn’t have a floppy? Your experience sounds very similar to mine.
TI99/4A. It took some time until I could afford the cable to connect a cassette recorder to it in order to save my files.
That’s the same model! I still have it in my garage or storage unit somewhere…
Mine is long dead. One of my nephews managed to stick a large screw in the expansion port, under the main board, shorting everything.
