  • Sums up my experience with C++. It’s fun until you actually start using it and then you get hit with: Idiotic syntax, no package management, C compilers, different operating systems, compiling in general, having to code everything from scratch, memory management and a lot more…

    Shit hit me so hard, I began learning web dev instead and never looked back…



  • What I usually do is I explain what the function does and, if not self explanatory, explain why it does such thing. Like, with the clock example, I’d explain that it tells the time and then, if not immediately obvious, explain why the time needs to be known… Smth like that.

    There is no “correct” way of commenting code. I personally think the more verbose, the better, but that’s an unpopular opinion afaik. As long as the code can be understood, the comment is doing it’s job.

    PS, I’m also kinda new to programming, mostly doing JS and React stuff

    spoiler

    I love putting memes in comments :P

    Yk, you can make fun of old programming languages but the average job offer with one of them is.

    Needs to know fortran/cobol

    Pay: 8000€/month + benefits and unlimited sick days

    Compared to the average web dev job offer:

    Needs to know react, redux, angular, PHP (for managing legacy codebases) with 5+ years of experience, needs to be affluent in at least 3 languages and must have a master’s degree in computer science.

    Pay: 1500€/month
