I think the summary of today's learning will be be the gotcha of final keyword, if anyone had asked me earlier I will argue with my JS rule of const keyword lol. well the nuance is: you can "reassign" the final keyword in a constructor if the initial "state" is "undefined".

oh well.... smiley

Finally completed chapter 8 exercises moved to chapter 9 - inheritance.
tbh, I thing age makes one understand things better especially as an average dude because looking back at OOP in JavaScript, grasping same in Java was easier ngl.

I was scheming with a friend on how to go on job search, this woman legit said 500 applications, I just laughed and said rookie numbers or this job bear market na only me dey see am?
for me the goal is 5,000. if after 5k nothing come out, I go just go collect land for village begin farm cassava. lol.

I'm learning Java too. I'm almost done with Java se. But after all these learning, what is the way forward? This AI thing dey discourage badly.

I do not really like having heyeye convo because i tend to sound like my opinion is based on sunk cost fallacy. here is a bit of my POV.
I read on HN that Sam Altman said they need a lot of cash injection from the US govt as bailout for them to continue to stay afloat to achieve AGI this is like saying "make we fit continue dey build" in addition the current latest version benchmark is not better than previous versions, think of Iphone 17 Pro Max performing less than I5PM. In addition, I personally believe if they have the hidden sauce to release the break through model, they would have without hesitation.
heyeye is great, it does stuff that I struggle with as a junior obviously, but can it do stuff qtguru or other senior eng can do, does it have the emotional intelligence to understand human context? and what happens when the current senior leaves, will they hand over codebases to AI to vibe code it, who will guide it through the process.
even if its vibecoders, you still need to know what you want to acheve or how to go about it, if you doubt me, well, as a challenge, there's this trending landon norris website, I am yet to see anyone replicate it using Cursor or any of the "premium" models.
My point be say if heyeye go dry jobs, e no go be 2026, and e better make I get the skill make I no use am than I need am but I no get am.

las las, e fit be say you dey use heyeye take cope with how steep Java SE be. grin

I do not know maths for context i just know the basics and that's all.
no matter how good you are in breaking down problems even if you are Tsodin(Zozin) my favourite Russsian brogrammer, if the fundamental of what the problem is or requires is beyond the scope of your knowledge your problem solving skill, will be worthless.
I mean how can I write code using Euclidean Algorithm when 'I have never heard of the bloke'?
Well this mean more digging and reading.

I succeeded in writing and solving the other Rational methods, except from the class static method: Greatest Common Divisor (GCD) using the Euclidean Algorithm and the overloaded constructors.
I "sheated" and used Geminii to give me scope. vetted the 'slop' with Grokk and that one said it's a solid solution(might be a case of 'hey-eye-bro-code'.

So I have 6 more exercises to go ought to be 8 but I intentionally skipped 2 because they were about inheritance which is what the next chapter is about, I need to finish them and start the 'easier' part; reading the next chapter.

I spent the past 3 days trying to solve this problem, so here are my issues;

ProgrammingRe: My 1 Year Java Learning Journey. by SourYoghurt(op):
WHAT IS MY GOAL IN DOING THIS?

I see all my career egbon and majority are with writing SpringBoot or .NET and they live the kind of life i admire and want so, who know my case will not be different.
1. I want to become a proper fullstack developer with two languages JavaScript(React, Svelte and TS) for FE and Java(SB) for BE.

2. I want to develop for enterprise and JavaScript does not seem like a language that will give me that opportunity(Even if it will, I won't be interested in using it because I am "bored" of the language, I need to chase a new high of another language).

3. I believe, I want to explore life outside JS ecosystem.

4. "I did it before, I can do it again" the learning curve of Java is steep so I believe if i spend the next 10 months which is over 1,500 learning and building stuff, I might get lucky again and get an enterprise job, my target market are eastern EU, some Latin America countries, Kenya(I am in my Nairobi arc lately), Kremlin and a few local Banks and Fintech in Nigeria grin.

I have had this fear of the unknown when it comes to working at a small company, I see startups as a place where you can wake up one morning and see that your Microsoft Team access has been revoked or the startup even failed due to lack of funding or customers. currently, we have built an MVP at work, Mr founder is currently aggressively seeking funding so there's nothing really going on at work, standup has been paused till further notice.
As small "omo-ogbon" I have been "fuvcking" around Java for the 2 months, I devoted minimum 4hrs daily learning using Paul Deitel's Java How to Program(Late Object) 11th Ed textbook. I am currently in chapter 8 out of 25.
EDIT: I just went through my repo to check my commit history and it is not yet two months based on my git commit log history.

brightk:
Hello everyone, Recently, i got to a locatoin for a new installation and starlink says its service is at capacity, Fortunately for me, an installation was done in the same compoound so i decided to check the service address used, Lo and behold it was another service address as far as 3km from the location. I was skeptical @ first but i had no choice,. eventually we were able to hookup to available satelites.. Although i kept seeing signals drop via d led button on the starlink router..At a point in time no iphone was browsing, but TV and andriod devices were working.. After going back n forth i decided to reset the router (V3) even though no confirguration has been done on it..

Eventually everytthing picked up and there has not been any single calls till date.

My question is has anyone ever activated starlink using a service address far away from the starlink original location?
i relocate to a new environment, which is about 40 minutes apart. I haven't updated my address to the new place, the app still uses the old address.

I have replied this your message twice but it keeps getting deleted. Dude from your profile you reside in Abuja, please lets meet one on one so you can tell me what you typed that made you got banned, then we see how it goes from there.

And this will be the last message i will reply so this thread can thrive for its purpose.
there's this thing that people do, where they say let's meet in person, I used to think it's for teenagers but a grown adult suggesting it in big 2025 shows how unexposed you are. Is it that you want to engage in a physical bare knuckle fight like Russian under dog fighter and fight them till they drop deeaad or what's the plan?

Your attitude is very myopic, you need to stop it.

Nahhhhhhh! It is not as expensive as 50k each o. It has been a while I bought them, but I would check the vendors I used to buy from and send your way.

I can imagine how monotonous it must be in that town of yours. Some of us always have something going on to write about. Pretty eventful lives, lol! Some others are just minding their business.

She should remain in the past. I always recommend people go for someone with as much stake as them. I am not a preacher of Disney love. The least your woman can do is support you and show-up in her own way. But then, people have different needs in a partner, so I don't impose. Next time, stay woke. I believe you have done well for yourself to be entangled with a Ring-road-inspired-gf.

One day one day I go see/know wetin you done learn. I will quote you with the vendors before Friday, please. 🙏🙏
Thank you very very much, I appreciate!!!

Hey SY!
You crossed my mind recently. Why did you stop updating (us)? Hahaha!

They used to be affordable, 5k, 8k...until your uncle got into office and they became luxury. Going by the picture you need 6. 50k ÷ 6, hmmm, let me see. Please buy it physically in a store. You can thrift vintage pieces, small alarm clock, faux books, hour glass, even children toy cars.

By the way, Poco will do...😀 and I hope that your gf has stopped stressing you.


I am very busy these days to be honest and everything has been monotonous to an extent.

Thank you big big. I am doing great. I visited a physical store these people are calling 50k per piece. I promised to be back "soon" grin.

My problem is that I am in a dead town where there's nothing going on, the only thrift item here are over used "Japanese" size jeans and top and maybe old Mama bags. Nothing else. If you have anybody who's a great "lead" to get them I will really appreciate it, I would be willing to pay for shipping fee.

Okay noted. I resorted to "Aunty" because na Aunty dey pamper us with nuggets and hacks, I have learnt a lot from your post to be honest but make I no cast myself😁.

I have left that madam oh, she hold me for chest mehn, I go back to some voice message that she sent to me in the past and I can't see the difference between her and a pissed off bus conductor in Ring Road, Benin City just because I didn't pick her call(No I am not that carefree upcoming tech bro who doesn't respond to messages or calls) or press funds for food and data.

A few days ago I was checking my archive, I saw that she sent a message saying she missed me and she knows that I miss her too that we should be friends. Friends and miss me ke, I no dey keep exes as friends, that's something I have resolved to do(I know this might sound controversial) I don't think I have trained my mind to the point where I can just bounce without any bit of residual attachment so I don't want to be coming back.

My friend who knew about us said[b]: I treat her more than what's she worth[/b]. But bro didn't even fill me in. undecided

Hey aunty pocohantas. I am trying to decorate my TV console and I think ornamental design will do just fine (cheap ones, my budget is 50k) and I used to see beautiful ones at the background of your pictures when you take a photograph and most importantly, I trust your opinion and judgement more(every suggestions you've made has never been wrong grin). Please can you point me towards a great ID item seller, No, can you pick the ones that'll "slap" harder if I use it, I know you are very busy so I will wait as long as you want.

In addition, I am not a TV guy as I barely watch TV, I watch movies using my monitors. What can I put in the TV position as I feel like it's redundant getting a TV. I have attached a photo.
