I am not here to bash. I read as many threads/posts as I can before I start a new thread. I am very thankful for the information I can receive here. If you look hard enough, you can pick out the people that are helpful here. They do not come here just because the enjoy helping people find bins. They come here to share and gain knowledge.
Someday I hope I am confident enough to give advice here. I am gaining knowledge.... it is ok to have fun sometimes. But wouldn't it be more satisfying to learn how to code? The more of us that can understand what is happening "inside the box" the less down time we will have. Work together. Instead of wasting time bashing. Take a few bins and look at the code. Programmers are not geniuses they can do it because they have a will to understand it. Thank God for their work.
Look, it's a good question, but the fact is should you learn to code or do you want to go into rocket science? Maybe you want to learn how to do brain surgery? It is not something just anyone can do. It takes a lot of background time and effort. If you are a garbage man it's easy to replace you. Coders are a rare breed, which is why I don't understand when people bash them. Learn fortran, learn kobal then learn you still don't know enough. A drivers license does not qualify you or any other person for NASCAR. This is not to 'bite your head off' it is simply to explain in four words. IT AIN'T SO EASY
VLAD Sure it is not something anyone can do. I will try. My experience tells me it will seem forever before it clicks. My girlfriend is laughing. She says you must know me. Fortran and Cobol are not the problem. 3 yrs data processing. 6 yrs CS. I am still learning. Still taking classes at the UNI. 20 years and counting.
That's not the funny part.
NHRA license up to and including Super Stock Eliminator.
Joel, go for it!! Ignore the detractors,it has nothing to do with your lack of driving ability, stick to learning computing, 20 years and counting! Not everyone learned to walk before they had their first birthday.....
My simple suggestion is this. Pick an old CPU such as 8080, Z80 or 6800. Learn about the CPU insides and the instruction set, and how it works. Look at some working code and understand it. Spend about 30-40 hours on this preliminary learning. Then decide whether you want to continue trying to be a coder. If so, then get on to the real thing.
