peacefull:

I like this your word " There's time to learn and there's time to take a break"

It's been quite a while... How are you doing? How's Japan?

Should this even be a big deal?
Why not call your partner with endearments like "honey", "sweetie" etc or if you don't like that, call yourselves by your names.

roseb1:
I'm disappointed in you. So ordinary food you can't share with your fellow church member and ursef a Christian.

Yes we know the pandemic is biting real hard but it's time like this we are expected to show the real love (agape love). No matter how little you have bro, there is love in sharing.

So he should keep feeding her because they are devoted Christians? Can you read what you typed again?

Is he her father? Yes there's love in sharing but not when it becomes parasitic and one-sided

Bro Hush15 is right..not all programmers are nerds though but 90 percent are like that.
He even forgot to add that he may likely loose is relationship with is Babe or wife

That's your problem then.. Cuz my and my fellow tech friends, we still ball and some have stable relationships.

If you choose to prioritize programming over your relationship, you're doing yourself. There should be a balance. You just don't know how to do it

ProfAmaben:
Laughs. If you solve the algorithm challenge I got at an interview with a foreign company recently, I would wholeheartedly agree it is an overexaggeration.

When I talk about programming, I don't mean guys that build e-commerce websites and start jumping up and down, I mean programmers that are on top of their game. I'm expecting your reply.

Bro gbogbo eleyi ko neccessetry, I was only tyna say that one doesn't have to spend 10 hours a day in front of a laptop, trust me my G, I can understand all these things without having to spend 10 hours on screen (not even healthy for your eyes and neck).

Besides I don't code PHP and I have nothing to prove to you. Thanks

Sofistcatdmoron:
Go to job sited and search for all these techniques, see the most sought after,
Thank me later ,
As a developer /programme u kerp learning new technologies,, dont depends only what u learnt many years ago

Bros PHP is still the most demanded server side language from now till even 10 years to come.

Just because newer technologies are available doesn't just mean everything would take an immediate curve. More than 70% of companies still use PHP, because it's not that easy to switch to a new technology, many of which are still in development and does not even have good community support yet.

Una dey make me laugh abeg

"PHP is outdated"
"Programmers are mostly nerds"
"Web development is a joke"
"You must know calculus and advance algebra alongside molecular geometry and 70 almighty formula before you can go into programming "

Nothing I no go hear for Nairaland. Everyone claiming to have a valid opinion

tensazangetsu20:
I dont blame them o. It is those 10k website development people I blame. One even said android development is outdated alongside web development at a time when most people are moving applications to the web. You are having full scale desktop applications running on browsers today and its outdated.

LMAO Everyone claiming I know it all on this forum.
The thing tire me bro

ProfAmaben:
Programming is not for the faint hearted o!!!
Programming is not theory that you can memorize, it takes practice practice, tears of frustration, loads of self doubt, spending of cash for online courses or bootcamps, fuel, internet connection etc.

You see that your son or daughter, once you start coding, you would beat the heck out of them cause it frustrates most times, you become antisocial because your brain is still trying to figure out why the simple 4 lines of code you learnt on Udemy didn't work.

The main problem begins when you start understanding the basis e.g. loops, for, while, etc. When it comes to implement your knowledge, you would start to understand how difficult this field is. Programming is very hard bro, although the joy that comes from being decent is immesurable.

At 40 it's kinda late o, except you are very good in mathematics or come from a CS background.

Frontend development, backend, Fullstack, machine learning etc no be beans o. As a Frontend developer with proficiency in JavaScript REACT framework, I practice for 4-7 hrs daily and it's not enough. When I became good at managing the state with Hooks and Normal OOP such as this.setState(), REDUX came out, you start hearing Actions, reducers and other terminologies that make you regret ever threading this career path.

Ask yourself, can I stomach this at 40? Can you sit down for 8-10 hrs watching tutorials and debugging your useless apps? Can you pass a programming job interview that requires algorithms? Can you? Can you build an enterprise grade app in 24hrs just to pass an interview for a job that pays 100k? Remember that those CS, CS engineering, mechanical engineering students are all gunning for the same job like you. They would even beat you blue black at the interview and request for smaller pay, because they love coding and want that experience.

Wishing you all the best in your endeavor.

Give it a try, if you discover that it's not making sense in 6months, move to something else, everyone cannot be a programmer

Lol. Another over-exaggerated post. All you said is correct but dude it's not entirely accurate.
You don't have to sit in front of your laptop for 10 hours because you're learning programming. The truth is, many beginner coders have jobs they are doing while learning programming, some are students who also have studies to face. So where is the time to spend 10 hours in a day learning programming?

What really matters is consistency, even if you spend just 3 hours, just be consistent, do it everyday. Yes, programming is frustrating, that's why I recommend anyone who wanna go into it to ensure they have the passion and drive for it.

hush15:
Well, I will give you an honest opinion in the optimistic context.

While many say "sure you can", at that age the truth is its relative to a lot of factors. I don't want to discourage you cos they right, you can achieve anything if you true to your goals but am the type that like to be realistic and true to my self. Not that its impossible, its just that how prepared are you mentally for the task ahead considering your antecedence.

You need to be true to yourself. Many don't understand the concept of programming as it is multifaceted on its own. The are many types of programming languages out there. So depending on what you are going for will also determine whether you can cope or not.

Also there are different aspects of programming. Basically, there is the frontend and a backend side of programming. The latter requires more in depth knowledge on programming logics than the frontend side of it. Back end is more db related and your intuition level and logical reasoning must be spot on. You must be a good analyst and deep thinker to survive that end. Also to that end, you understand some core basic machine language, then how storage is being handled. So depending which side you want to go, it determines how deep you can go. Even the front end isn't a walk in the park but you will survive at your age.

That brings us to the question about your history is quantitative analysis. How good is your reading and reasoning skills? Cos programmers are thinkers and they must be able to interprete their thoughts in logical steps to achieve desired results. The phone we use, just imagine how deep people think to program a phone just to give us joy. So its serious business with 247 dedication.

That leads to the final question, what's your social life like cos I will tell you one truth, if you are a faaji person, a baller who is very active in social life, I suggest you forget programming cos most programmers are solitary folks whose nature doesn't go with a faaji person. As a thinker, you probably spend more time quietly and indoors. You probably be walking with pen and notepad everywhere. Just look at zuckerberg, his fashion sense is zero, not because he doesn't have the money, he just doesn't have the time to look good.

With all that being discussed, if you being honest with yourself, you will know what yo do.

Not all programmers are nerds. let's stop this stereotype abeg.
I'm a programmer and I'll still go and faaji at clubs, parties etc

Life is not all about coding, there's time to learn and there's time to take a break

Ezennwa:
hmm!

The true soldier fights not because he hates what is in front of him, but because he loves what is behind him.

Soldiers, when committed to a task, can't compromise. It's unrelenting devotion to the standards of duty and courage, absolute loyalty to others, not letting the task go until it's been done.

Brave men rejoice in adversity, just as brave soldiers triumph in war

Abeg shut up

thenaijacoder:
Well, the pay isn't that much $500 per month but it is quite okay for me though.

I would have aksed for more but i am not good at negotiating so i went with the flow.

Reason why most of these foreign companies prefer remote workers, they will now have to pay less due to exchange rates and difference in purchasing power.
$500 is a week's average work in the US.
Renegotiate that pay!!!!!

Coder2Client:
You can do all the sleeping during the day and in the evening you can take some sip of lipton and not coffee. Coffee is injurious to health.

Me that is allergic to Lipton... I usually take coffee with enough milk. I guess it would reduce the potency

thenaijacoder:
All those kind of jobs are really stressful though.

Not for me.. I work better at night... So yeah, I'd fit in

Bibidear:
yeah....very great guy ....never seen a guy like him....we had to part ways ....my family didn't want him cos he was not from my tribe.....still remembers how he begged me but I was adamant.....family first....the lady who is gonna marry him will surely enjoy him...

Later you all will be shouting "Black lives matters" yet y'all tribalism stinks like dead body

Alexaonfleek:
Ha!!!
If you don't know how to cook and you're broke on top
Na only God go save you.
That's how one of my coursemate was calling me on the phone to ask me how to cook jollof spaghetti.

Pls if you don't know how to cook and you're going to uni and you're not rich,pls don't accept your admission.
Defer it till the next year when you've learnt how to cook.

What do you mean? I didn't know how to cook Jack when I entered school, and I was just financially average, yet I learnt how to cook everything except soup within the next three to four weeks...

I simply observed my roommates cooking, and applied some common sense too..

Lalastic.lala: Mummy!!!! They pay me and I move threads to frontpage.
Mama Lala: what is frontapge? And why are u moving threads to front page.. Is front page a shop? Do you supply threads?
Lalasti.clala: Mummy,biko kwanu! I do not supply threads... I move online topics to the homepage of an online forum.
Mama Lala: But I have never seen you carry suitcase and wearing suit to go to work... You are just in front of ur laptop all day.. Are u sure it's not 419 you're doing?

I take offense with this, do you know how many years I've been following PC HW ?
I bought it 'cos:
- I travel quite a lot then and not stable
- AMD isn't as good as it is now.

Now for less $800, u can buy a nice AMD 8-Core Laptop or even spend way less if you don't have much need for the cores.


I'm NOT a gamer, I have other needs for a proper CPU, RAM and board u know like... compiling Linux kernel, GCC and Clang, applications that needs at least 32gb or 16 cores for proper usage etc.
Gamers are one of the dumbest regarding PC hardware. They will waste 6 hours playing a game but can't spent 10 minutes learning how to tune their memory haha.
The greatest morons are the developers who buy MacBook Pro just show off haha.


Better.

I am a developer, what laptop is a best fit in your opinion

EzzyCarter:
The main prayer is may we not jam agbako . No matter how careful one is, na God fit save person. Imagine bringing her over in the afternoon and something happens to her. Although OP definitely has a point. Bringing a girl to pass the night in times like these is high risk asides the whole girl dying scenario, consider your own safety as well.

Had this experience with a lady. We weren't dating but we used to hang out and feck each other's brains out. So she came to sleep over that night (her first time). We kept chatting and stuff and aunty kept asking me when I'd sleep. Lmao. As a real gee, I never sleep with my two eyes open. She later slept off and then I did too. Woke up by midnight to see her bending over me in bed checking to see if I was still sleeping. So I pretended I was still sleeping. (I even gave her fake snore) . She stood up and tip-toed to where her bag was. She took out a razor blade and a small paper and came over to the bed. She softly grabbed a few strands of my hair, trying to cut it with the blade. Twas then I held her hand and I shoved her and rose up then she started begging and all. She said she was pranking me. What kinda prank is that? The rest is history sha.
I cant imagine what would av happened if she had succeeded in stealing my hair tho... be careful out there guys. Not every lady you see is an angel . God save us all..

scott12:
I'm done with html, css. Currently honing my JavaScript programming skills. In a week's time I should proceed to backend probably PHP or Nodejs/Django python. My goal is to be a mobile app developer. Please I would like to meet to fellow tech enthusiasts let's talk technology and learn from each other.

Mobile App ke?
You should be learning Java or Kotlin.. You miss road?

Hahjascho:
Yeah back- end...
What has been your experience using Node.js?

Node is the future of back-end programming, it's under Javascript it's really dynamic.
PHP is a great language too and still widely used, but it's slowly losing popularity

Hahjascho:
Done with HTML and CSS.

Now: PHP & Python

seems you wanna deal with back-end, you might wanna consider Nodejs too
