So tired of meeting people who've graduated as "computer scientists", who have zero experience in any dev environment and can be dumbfounded by some of the simplest concepts that were even taught in their classes.

[@havocblast]

I hate going on Reddit now because of all the idiots with their "OMG CS is dead" "Is it worth learning to code" If you have to ask that on Reddit then you obviously don't have enough soft skills to make it in software even during the boom

[@trentirvin2008]

No joke, im an aspiring dev but i cannot believe how little time investment other aspiring devs think is required to learn a skill that pays so much. Im almost 2 years in and im making an app with a partner Ive beeb pair programming with for 4 months and recently got 2 seniors developers on board to help us build and mentor us through all the most difficult tasks without hand holding us. And every other person of our level trying to get a job that’s talked to us about what we’re doing has immediately been dismissive and says its way too much

[@moomie1634]

Then you go to a subsequent post and find out what kind of devs are on there... I saw a post asking what kinds of projects people had built, and the most upvoted comment, was none. These are not FAANG level engineers; they're your classic reddit users who want to coast, hate consumerism and people who, you know, like money and working. I mean, you post anything about FAANG and you'll get a mix of people saying "I could've gone to FAANG, but I felt that I wanted to work in this role" Which is the equivalent of "I could've gone pro if I didn't hurt my shoulder back in junior high". Then, there's the others who are clearly jealous, want those kinds of jobs, and just, don't put in any work to actually attain them.

[@trentirvin2008]

@@moomie1634 i couldn’t have more eloquently described these whiners than you have just now. And not only that, they will actively encourage you to quit. I made a post about me and my buddy looking for good places to do outreach for more collaborators that want to learn. And you know what the overwhelming response was? Insults about how stupid we are for trying something so out of reach, telling us we were wasting out time and then the cherry on top was telling us we were clearly awful and shitting on our skills while we made absolutely no comment on what we’ve actually built or are capable of

[@moomie1634]

@@trentirvin2008 Honestly, why care about what a redditor says. If you're having fun doing it, and you're really developing some skills creating it, then keep going. People call some of my hobbies dumb, but I enjoy them. Same thing with programming projects. As for the first statement about looking for people to collaborate, go to colleges. There will always be students looking to learn a bit more and get a bit better at their skills, and you've got a ton of people in a small area

[@trentirvin2008]

@@moomie1634 can’t disagree, its dumb to waste my time giving any thought to it. I think i just hate the environment it creates online when you’re trying to find people that want to learn. I graduated from college with a biology degree in 2022 but decided i wanted to program instead of a phd program, so online learning has been my outlet. Probably why it irks me so much but i think im gonna take your advice on looking for collaborators at colleges

programming communities: "God have mercy"

[@hijackedbomb]

😂

[@oYakate]

I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you’re referring to as the Linux community, is in fact, the GNU/Linux community. Linux is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning GNU system made useful by the GNU corelibs, shell utilities and vital system components comprising a full OS as defined by POSIX. Many computer users run a modified version of the GNU system every day, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of GNU which is widely used today is often called “Linux”, and many of its users are not aware that it is basically the GNU system, developed by the GNU Project. There really is a Linux, and these people are using it, but it is just a part of the system they use. Linux is the kernel: the program in the system that allocates the machine’s resources to the other programs that you run. The kernel is an essential part of an operating system, but useless by itself; it can only function in the context of a complete operating system. Linux is normally used in combination with the GNU operating system: the whole system is basically GNU with Linux added, or GNU/Linux. All the so-called “Linux” distributions are really distributions of GNU/Linux.

To be honest, when I am at my lowest in programming-facing deadlines and unfinished projects-I go to communities like Reddit and start to see posts/comments echoing what BigBox mentioned, like "data science is dead" and "AI will take our jobs," and it makes me feel bad. However, after watching this video, I now understand how these communities are full of idle talk. Thanks to BigBox for opening our eyes and telling us to "just code.

It is not just //cscareerquestions, its every damn community online, I would go on reddit because google would just give me bunch of irrelevant advertisements sites for whatever my inquiry is, then I would add 'reddit' to the search hoping to get at least one useful answer, and there are just a bunch of anons spitting horses.hit on whatever the subject is.
