    yo bro, i got a question for you. nocode apps are killing it with marketing. they suckered me, and i bought the flutterflow to build a web app. there are simple things that i cannot do with flutterflow like create a check all checkbox feature so i cant finish building my site. so now, since i am best friends with ChatGPT, i am looking into using Chat or Claude, to clone my site and finish what i started. the thing is, i dont know anything about coding. I've become familiar with Dart. but i found your video trying to learn about what language is used to make normal websites, not mobile apps. this video seems to be about learning a skill to get a job. i dont want a job. i want to complete a project. I bet if you made a video on the failure rate of no code builders and then "have you tried cloning your un finished application and get it completed?" you'd get a lot of views. i want to clone my site, but do i prompt ChatGPT to clone mysite into what language? i clearly would like the easiest language to clone my site into, since i do not know how to code. or write in English. an easy language would be easier for AI to provide working solutions to create what i would like done...

    Me: *opens program* Program: "Dear End User, Due to the fact that our C++ programmers were too lazy to implement garbage collection routines in the program that you are using, we kindly ask that you restart your computer after you are finished running the program. Thank you for understanding." Me: Yeah, sure... Will you hurry up, so I can actually USE the program? Program: *loading* Me: ... *sigh* Program: "A FATAL ERROR HAS OCCURRED." *displays error number* Me: *web searches error number* Hmmm... Apparently, this is a memory error caused by shitty coding due to the programmer getting wasted and snorting lines of coke off a stripper's ass the night before. Good to know.

    I’m a beginner and kind of stuck in tutorial hell, trying out different languages and stuff Tried The Odin Project but fell off cause of the Linux VM stuff, ultimately I decided that web dev is just not that interesting. I’m on C++ at the moment and… it’s actually REALLY easy to set up. What’s not easy is figuring out what to do with it. Like I can do console log stuff, but I’m completely lost on actual projects. Downloaded Qt framework yesterday so gonna try that and my goal will be to make a basic text editor.

    5 Reasons why not to learn Javascript as your first language - Complex Syntax and Inconsistent Behavior ('this' keyword can lead to misunderstandings and bugs that are difficult to debug) - Weakly Typed Language (self explanatory) - Asynchronous Programming Nightmare (self explanatory) - Browser Environment and Compatibility Issues (you code might not run the same everywhere) - Lack of a Standard Library for Basic Tasks (self explanatory)

    There is no special thinking like a programmer. Either you do programming, applying your natural intelligence to it, and thus thinking like yourself being a programmer, or you don't do programming and thus don't think like a programmer. Both can be done together.

    Andy - another great video. Do you ever take on work for an equity piece of an idea. I already have a scope of work document. A friend of mine who is a developer who i have worked with in the past est 30-40 hours. since he just had a baby, he’s got no time. Not looking for anything pretty. We have some database work, form inputs and calling in some open source code that needs some customization. If you passion for the arts, innovation, community building and music this opportunity is perfect. It’s good work that will empower people around the world.

    Fantastic video! Quick question: I’m a collaborative artist and I’m currently looking for a full stack developer to help me bring an idea to life. I have worked with developers in the past another projects and due to budget constraints. I’m interested in giving equity piece on the product / service which would be used during live events. So I’m looking for a developer that has a passion in the arts and music. Any idea how I might be able to find a developer who is willing to work in this manner. Are there any groups online that I would be able to, this type of opportunity. Thank you so much for your insight and keep up the great work.

    The title is misleading "Stop Learning These Programming Languages". You would expect to hear "stop learning C#, Java, PHP, and C++", but instead you hear that they are too hard to swallow for beginners and you should study them later. I would say this video is only good for people who are just getting started and want to program as a hobby. In the end it boils down to what your end goal is. If you want to be hired at a specific set of companies, then you have no choice but to learn the technology stack in use there, whether you you are a beginner or a seasoned programmer. If your goals is to develop software yourself, and maybe even found a startup, then you need the technology stack that can get you from -$100K to profit in the fastest possible way. Of course, you may not have the luxury to decide solely on that. Some languages have features and libraries others don't. Some language come with frameworks most suitable for your use cases; others don't. So, it is a really misleading to say "Stop learning these programming languages". If you want to be a pen tester, you better learn Assembly; you will need it for those Red Team attacks ... whether you like it or not. Sorry, this post is getting too long, but you get the picture.

    Programming itself requires hardly any. It depends on the problem domain. A typical business app isn't going to use much beyond add subtract and multiply. Games, you're going to need more geometry. Logistics optimization, you're talking stats & calculus.

  • @Kevin-jb2pv
    @Kevin-jb2pv 18 днів тому

    My first language was QBasic, then C++, then visual Basic, then Java, then years later I learned Python. My opinion on this is that, well, if you are learning programming on your own, and you can't figure out how to get Python or C# _running..._ Then maybe you should consider taking a class, instead. If you can't follow online setup instructions and figure out how to get up and running with Python, Java, or C[X], then I don't really know how you're going to be able to learn programming independently. Yeah, there's a little setup for these, but there's a bajillion tutorials online that give you clear as well as fully narrated videos that walk you through every step from clicking the download link to opening the IDE, and I think that anyone interested in learning how to program should _probably_ be expected to be able to manage following said instructions. I'm not saying, "if you can't set these up on your own then *_DON'T EVEN BOTHER TRYING TO LEARN HOW TO PROGRAM LOL!"_* But what I *_AM_* saying is that if someone can't follow an online tutorial to even get started, then their level of experience with computers is probably low enough that they're unlikely to get very far with learning on their own in the first place. Maybe they should try taking some basic courses (online or IRL) to learn some basic - intermediate level computer use skills before trying to dive right into programming. And if they do want to skip straight into the code, then that's fine, but that person would almost _certainly_ benefit _greatly_ from receiving instruction from a teacher who can help to fill in those gaps in knowledge. I just think that if someone can't figure out how to get these set up, they're unlikely to have the computer use, reading comprehension (AKA ability/ maturity needed to follow written instructions), and/ or problem solving skills (not to mention a tinkerer's temperament) to troubleshoot their way through the installation hurdles. Programming is _all about_ slamming your head into the desk and screaming in frustration to find that one misplaced semicolon that's causing your program to crash randomly or just refuse to compile. I think anyone who lacks the patience and willingness to tinker through the setup process is unlikely to have the right temperament to try and learn programming _by themself._ That doesn't mean they shouldn't _ever_ learn, just that they would probably benefit greatly from having another meat puppet like themself standing near enough to them to help point errors out on the screen and explain things to them. C++, for beginner level programming, isn't really _that_ hard, IMO. Yeah, C++ _can_ get ridiculously complex real quick, but if we're just talking about someone trying to learn how to print "Hello World" or use a for loop to display a specific number of crude dick drawings on screen, then I don't think it's really too much of a leap. Are they _better off_ with something like Python to start with? ehhh... Probably. Is it an impenetrable barrier that no beginner could ever be expected to grapple with? No, I don't really think so. The commands are a little more opaque, but once you learn those and get a grasp of the universal fundamentals of programming, I think it's not as bad as a lot of people say it is. We're talking about _basic_ level shit, here. They'll probably run into a steeper learning curve the further they try to progress in C++, but I think that even then it's not as bad as some people make it out to be. I think PHP is an... Interesting choice, but not completely insane. If someone is really, really interested in learning how to do backend web development, then it's basically the go-to. Also I've never in my life heard someone suggest that someone pick up SQL as a first "language." IDK what sick person hurt you or someone you love(d), but I'm truly sorry that someone so disturbed is running around in the world spreading their sick form of chaotic evil. (Though I guess if one were wanting to learn PHP as a first language, then SQL probably couldn't be avoided for very long...)
