Godforbid bad thing. Anyone who thinks C is hard hasn't met CSS. Of course using C to do something like making web apps is extremely difficult, but using it for embedded systems programming isn't difficult. CSS on the other hand is difficult in it's own niche. Which kind juju be that?

Me, I peacifulli bow out abeg. That kind headache I no fit do. I'll just brush up my python and try my luck with backend.

Lolz, naso guy. C is quite low level though, this is where C++ or rust come into play.
So what kind of dev are you na, embedded?

LienwaltAbel:
I thought that it was only me that hated CSS. Nothing is ever as it seems, and the worst part of it all is that web browser developers refuse to just agree on how to implement one functionality. Microsoft is just a pain in the ass when it comes to this.

Seems like you're a frontend dev lol, kudos to you.

GREATIGBOMAN:
I do get it... Just messing with u bro.


Most backend devs who just love logic finds CSS annoying.

Especially when you're styling an element and you're sure what u wrote should work but it doesn't...

Exactly bro, like you just read my mind.

GREATIGBOMAN:
Totally out of context... Wrong analogy. Brosky

Out of context, yes, but you get it don't you? I rest

LikeAking:
Figma has made front end easy... Or easier.. graphics guys don invade FE.

I appreciate their creativity.

Yeah, they'd still have to deal with react and/or others, though this is not much of an issue.

Kvngfrosh:
I didn’t take a course or tutorial to know css is not for me .
I just read through some codes I saw online and I knew it wasn’t for me .
I don’t have interest in anything css or designing generally.

Exactly, I'm just like you, I loathe design.

GREATIGBOMAN:
It's normal Brosky.

People fine what they don't understand annoying.

Hahaha, ok na, shebi to wash clothes dey annoying, abi we no understand washing be that

GREATIGBOMAN:
Very ironic from someone who finds CSS annoying and a pain.
We may then conclude frontend is as confusing to you as how backend is confusing to them...

I just find CSS annoying not confusing, besides CSS is just a part of frontend dev, I know react too. Also I was already doing Leetcode when I started HTML and CSS, so there's that. I've heard horror stories of backend devs who switched to full stack, the general theme is they mostly get assigned frontend tasks.

Kvngfrosh:
same here.
I just don’t have interest in it

Like seriously CSS's a pain, it's what's hinders me from going fullstack, I don't want to be assigned CSS tasks.

chukwuebuka65:
I believe that for this type of people, it’s just a matter of time before they quit.

Well, some of them still manage to pull through. I do think this is one of the reasons there's a surge of new front end developers, most newbies want the avoid the problem solving aspect of programming, rip to them.

chukwuebuka65:
I dont get it. is it the same javascript that I am learning or is there another version of javascript. If javascript is hard I wonder what they will say when they get into frameworks , libraries and data structures and algorithms . Pls programming is easy, if u understand the concepts.

JavaScript wasn't hard for me, JavaScript was even my first language. People say JavaScript is hard because compared to HTML and CSS it's a different breed, the switch from design to logic is quite dramatic. Personally I'd rather code C++ than touch CSS. Generally programming is pretty easy, programming to solve problems is what's hard, software engineering's even harder.

tensazangetsu20:
Some mediums are also hard too. Some hards are easy. The prayer is to get what you can come with a solution to in a short time and it's by practicing lots and lots of questions.

Yeah, the last medium I solved was pretty easy, and some easys are hard too, especially if they involve an algorithm you know nothing about. You just have to be lucky to get a question you actually know how to solve.

tensazangetsu20:
Yes hard. It's one of those catch you questions that you can't do if you haven't done it before. The pay for the job is around 90000 USD a year and it's remote.

I see, still they took it too far, even FAANGs will mostly ask Leetcode medium questions.

I once tried to speed run the all the easy problems on the warm-up and implementation sections of hackerank, 8 warm-up and 40 implementation problems. I solved all the warm-ups but was only able to do 26 implementations before I burned out, it took 17.5 hrs. So yeah, most of the time you wouldn't even notice you've been coding for 5+ hrs.

tensazangetsu20:
It's needed everywhere. I am currently interviewing with a crypto company for the role of a WordPress developer. The first stage was a codility quiz with a leetcode hard question. I have a technical whiteboard interview next week. During the initial interview they were asking me if I knew how to do elementor and all of that and I me I thought it will be an easy interview but here I am. You cant escape dsa based interviews except you don't want to earn well as a programmer. If you are okay with small companies that don't pay well then you are okay not learning dsa but to eat the big bucks I don't see how you can do it without dsa except you start your own company.

A hard Leetcode question? Seriously! Why na? What was the pay?

jbreezy:
Op doesn't even have a solid knowledge of function yet.

Oh, I see. Op should do due diligence to the basics first.

sixpathsofpain:
What would be the output of the code below

I'll assume you're trying to learn recursion, It may take a while before you get used to recursion, and if you've already learned about loops, it gets worse.
You're best bet is a pen and paper or visual debugger to step through a recursive code.

jbreezy:
Like God damn!!!...then @op, you were the one that dropped "variable chaining" stuff some days ago. Why not stick to the basics for now, before moving to the advanced.

Recursion is actually basic, just like loops, especially in functional programming languages.

ubunja:
I generally get my films from Netnaija ,,, which sites do you guys use?!

What kind of films do you watch? It's hard to see good American films these days so I mostly only watch animes.
I use Animepahe, you'll find any anime there if it's popular enough.

TheManOfTheYear:
This is the comment!
The first step would be to take a proper course on understanding the fundamentals of DSA, which is what I'm doing now.

Leetcode and the rest are for practice sake.

Exactly, you'll see folks who don't even know how to reverse a string jumping into leetcode like are you being serious right now? Get the basics right, and when you're a bit comfortable, start practicing on leetcode/hackerank, that's the surer way.

tensazangetsu20:
Wow I didn't know this though. I use arrays and shift and unshift when I wanna do queues. Java gives you a queue off the bat and you can poll. Damn!

It happened to me once, it was Python's "pop(0)", same as JavaScript's "shift" which really made my algorithm slow, this scenario is language agnostic though. I usually avoid JavaScript for coding problems, especially complex ones since JavaScript is really unpredictable and can make you go nuts lol, you get mind.

Opinion:
For those of you who want to learn DSA, y'all should slow down a bit. Learning DSA especially the fundamentals is not concerned at all with leetcode, leetcode is what you do when you're good with the basics.

tensazangetsu20:
Stack and queues in JavaScript can be done using arrays and array methods like shift, unshift and pop. Trees traversal in JavaScript and java is the same though. What's hard to do in JavaScript is heaps.

Be careful though, arrays in JavaScript are not queues. Enqueue and dequeue operation should be O(1), while unshift and shift in JavaScript are both O(n). Arrays are completely fine for stacks though.

tensazangetsu20:
Yeah but cant compare myself with such. Me I would only relax at 700+ questions.

Wish you the best on your goal

tensazangetsu20:
20 that's all. People get head o. Like super intelligent geniuses. You think they spend all day on leetcode

Yeah it MIT so it's possible, and those 20 would mostly be medium and hard lol.

tensazangetsu20:
100 is if you have a genius-level IQ. 700 to 1000 is the standard for average intelligent folks. 1000+ for low intelligent folks. A girl I was chatting with from MIT was able to crack all FAANG interviews she has only done just 20 leetcode questions her whole life. How I go compare myself to person like that. I am not intelligent so I need to work much more harder. Google alone has 1182 tagged questions on leetcode. Amazon has around the same number too.

I'm a bit curious about the girl, 20 questions? quite hard to believe. Perhaps she's been solving hard coding problems from other sources and just needed to do 20 questions to get adapted to leetcode's style.

tensazangetsu20:
That's too far. There's a ton of easy problems he won't solve. No be by mouth.

I wanted to give him the benefit of doubt, unsurprisingly his all talk no walk, I wonder how he'd be able to use search Google when his actually sharing ide/Google docs with the interviewer or when he's facing a whiteboard.

LikeAking:
Wia convanant kids one see internet do leetcode?
Make una calm down.
I can solve every code on JS DSA, Just give me Google. DSA na cruise.

Lolz Og whiner, but seriously can you solve 1 hard leetcode problem?

Holy Bleep today feels like the early days of these thread, so red, it's so fucking red today

Nicki fvcked up meek mill my guy dropped album to shit her, calling her a golddigger

Lolz so Mill was a simp, seriously, who would fall in love with a bitch like Nicki.

heartofcity12:
Right

Lol see them, fellowship of the 5 thots, there's a shitter among them lmao. Nicki Minaj should be here too.
