oohh....op is wrong about that....

programers are very arogant people....
dont expect them to explain every little details to you....

you must learn most by yourself....

I won't really say they are arrogant, they just have a way of thinking I guess. Especially those that have spent years coding. They believe anyone seeking their assistance is well grounded to a certain level at least, even tho many a times na newbies dey ask questions.

Java developers spend a lot of time trying to fix language constructs and spend a lot of time tieing up lose ends. .net is a much more organized technology stack and allows you to focus on the software you are actually developing

true true....java is bizzar....

Did you just say Java is not relevant outside Android? Broh, start your research from the TIOBE index before you say things just because you feel like saying it
Forget TIOBE index I want your opinion what area apart from Android is Java relevant.

Go back to where you are coming from

As in eh. If you check properly, the only motivation for going into cyber security is money.... but if you check critically, agriculture has more money than IT. All those cash crops... export 25 metric tonnes and you swimming in money

The spirit is eager but the body is weaker....

I have a friend who took coding and programing upon his shoulders for some months , steps by steps he became lagging behind and he melted out from the coding and programing studies
,though he could do some stuff in coding and programing .Now he is into learning Chinese language .

Why I like coding, is that it attracts only serious minded people. It's one path I see that mediocers run away from.

yes...thats it....when you are a complete beginner they will not try to explain to you what are libraries....

they expect that you already understand the ground principles of programming....

Yes but intelligent mediocrity. Like copying a nice site code and building more or less on it other than reinventing the wheel. If that is what you call mediocrity!

There is mediocrity in every field, including programming.

Go back to where you are coming from. Go back to your Agriculture. Nonsense, that’s how they cause confusion in the society. You spent about five years to study a course, now you want to abandon it. You definitely have no life ambition
Do you know how many accomplished software engineers branched out from different areas.?
Both in Nigeria and abroad.

This is a video of a yoruba girl in the US. She studied pol science in the united states. She abandoned it.

She is currently earning $210,000 a year working for a tech firm as a self-taught software engineer.

She is just 25.

You think there's money in programming, pele by the time they use and dump you, I remember having a chat with someone who is into the it world and like he said "Only the Zuckerbergs and the Bill Gates go far, the lower ones become slaves" go into agriculture and rake your millions.

You too have no life ambition besides money. Money kee you there. There is no industry that can give more money than Agriculture
Re: Why Most Beginners Quit Programming by SeriouslySense(m): 2:23pm On Jan 27, 2021
there we go we focus on an areas first

cheesy cheesy
runtime:
What i keep telling newbies is this, just pick an area and concentrate solely on it, and dont every rely on one source of learning simple e.g if i want to learn dotnet core i would concentrate solely on c# and downlod as many learning resources on c# and dotnet core mosh hamaedani c# udemy series, joseph alambari c# the definitive refernce series etc.
Withing 6-8 months of pure dedication, boom you already a developer.

c# > java by the way grin.

I cannot be tired of programming, i go solo, i just need to find more time. cheesy cheesy cheesy, I love the concepts, and i love new ideas.

I love to just sit down in the comfort of my home and learn new things and try them straight away, since i dislike intensive physical labour, i have to rely more on brainy labor where one has to think

Impossible plus remember there is a free software foundation if I can't find a cracked version of a software I like, I'd just find a free one. For example Photoshop - GIMP, 3DMaya - Blender, Microsoft Word - WPS. gringrin
