Instead of this nonsense seun should rank comments that shows first based on numbers of likes or other engagements it has maybe times users spent on it or scrolled and stopped in that particular comment.

Something like the way Facebook ranks comments in pages and groups

This means you are only writing simple hello world applications with if else statements.
The ternary operator is a shorthand for if...else statements. Syntax: javascript: condition ? expressionIfTrue : expressionIfFalse;

If you're developing an SaaS application where you have to do new complex stuff like:

How to convert HTML to PDF
How to generate tables in PDF
How to merge/split PDFs
How to add watermarks or metadata to PDFs
How to sign or encrypt PDFs

And here is a list from ChatGPT speed up this comment:
Here's a list of complex programming constructs and tasks that even experienced programmers often need to check online to recall the correct syntax. These are things that aren't used every day or vary subtly between languages, making them easy to forget:

🔧 Advanced Language Features
Regex syntax (e.g., lookaheads, backreferences, character classes)

Multithreading / concurrency primitives (e.g., pthread, async/await, futures)

Lambda/function expressions in unfamiliar or rarely-used languages

Decorators / annotations (especially in Python or Java)

Generics / templates (e.g., T extends Comparable<T> in Java or template<typename T> in C++)

Pattern matching (e.g., in Scala, Rust, modern Python, or C#)

Reflection / metaprogramming (e.g., getattr, type() in Python, or Java Reflection API)

Coroutines / generators (yield, send, await syntax)

Memory management keywords (malloc, free, new[], delete[], unsafe in Rust)

🌐 Cross-Platform / Interfacing
Foreign Function Interfaces (FFI) (e.g., ctypes in Python, JNI in Java)

WebAssembly bindings or Emscripten syntax

Interfacing with REST APIs (e.g., curl vs fetch vs requests vs http.client)

Shell commands within code (e.g., subprocess.run or backticks in Bash)

💾 Data Format Syntax
MongoDB aggregation pipeline

GraphQL query syntax

Complex JSONPath or XPath queries

YAML anchors and references

Protocol Buffers (.proto files)

Avro or Thrift schema definitions

🧪 Testing & DevOps Tools
Unit test assertions (e.g., pytest.raises, expect in Jest)

Mocking / patching syntax (especially in Python or Java)

Dockerfile commands and build contexts

Kubernetes YAML configuration

CI/CD pipeline configuration (e.g., GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, CircleCI)

Makefile syntax (tabs, targets, variables, conditions)

🧱 UI/Frontend Frameworks
React hooks (useEffect, useMemo) and dependency arrays

Vue directives and watchers

Angular decorators and DI syntax

TailwindCSS complex utility combinations

🧠 Language-Specific Oddities

Rust’s ownership and lifetime annotations

Haskell monad or functor syntax

Elixir macros or pipelines

Go error handling (defer, recover)

🔄 Build & Meta Tools
Webpack configuration

Babel plugins setup

Gradle or Maven dependencies

CMake syntax

NPM scripts with special shell quoting
Dude I was only giving an example to buttress my point sitting when I was new to JavaScript...

What's with the Chatgpt reply 🤕


The HTML to PDF converter shouldn't be categorised as complex though... It's something 5 to 10 lines of codes would do.

One thing I always say is that 'the documentation is the best companion to have'. Why would I have to memorize stuffs when I don't have to pay a dime in order to reference something in the documentation?

Thanks to the nice documentation of Laravel, all I do sometimes is just a quick search on the documentation and I'll get the information I need.

I have come to notice that people who memorize syntaxes tend to write "hacky" codes when of course there are simply ways to do the same things if only they checked the documentation.
What does it even mean to "memorize syntax"?
If you claim to know a programming language, its syntax should come naturally to you not something you constantly have to look up in documentation. Of course, there may be exceptions for parts you don't use regularly or encounter in your day-to-day work like when I first encountered ternary operators and template literals in JavaScript

The best programmers are those who can bring their own ideas and the ideas of others to life through code. Nothing more, nothing less.
It doesn’t matter how you do it, as long as the code is clean and works as intended. That’s what truly matters.

MindHacker9009:
From my experience, those I have worked with who do not have a degree in computer science or software engineering tend to memorise only a limited set of syntax and are limited to the few they can memorise. This is because there are millions of syntax that need to be referenced in order to find an effective solution. By contrast, a programmer with a computer science or software engineering degree can efficiently navigate and reference this vast body of syntax, enabling them to arrive at solutions much more quickly and not having to memorise millions of syntax. Those without such a background are often limited to the few syntax elements they have memorised, which can lead to poorly developed software or even the abandonment of projects altogether.

I once worked in an a large global organisation where the principal software engineer with only a secondary school education, had no understanding of SQL relationships and very limited knowledge of handling complex programming challenges. This kind of situation is unfortunately not uncommon in the industry.

I find software development to be one of the most dysfunctional fields to work in, largely because many IT managers, along with the programmers they prefer to hire, do not hold degrees in computer science or software engineering. This preference reflects a broader acceptance of mediocrity within the industry.

Consider, for example, a forum advert that reads: “From Accounting to Software Development in Less Than Four Months.” This is nothing short of a joke. Even after three or four years depending on the country, studying computer science or software engineering at university to understand the fundamentals to advanced level, it still takes years of practical experience to become very good and even then, continuous professional development is essential.
The OP is talking about programming u jump from your bed start typing about Computer Science up and down.

Who told u computer science is all about programming or software development?

Programming is like one course and sometimes even an elective course in computer science.... You can be a world class software developer even without stepping inside the 4 walls of a university.

I'm never going to live permanently in Nigeria or even Black Africa ever again UNLESS there's major reforms that further entrench the four factors that are PROVEN to generate high HDI and socio-political stability - free markets, democracy, property rights and demographic homogeneity.

India is the subject of this thread. I've spent major time in India and travelled all over the country, and tried to experience it as an ordinary person. India is a much more developed and generally better country than Nigeria. Just FOOD cost and availability make it superior, then there's other parameters.

Everything I've written is factual. I welcome any info to the contrary, I'm always open to new and credible knowledge.

Good Luck to Nigeria.
Indians are escaping their own country more than the rate Nigerians are immigrating.... Even the population of indians outside India may be higher than Nigeria's total population
