Calling all coders

The hardest course I have ever taken was logical calculus.

What is logical calculus?

 

[Midnighter]

I'm learning SQL and Python

What is logical calculus?

Well, it was thirty years ago, but if memory serves, it was learning the mathematical structure of arguments.

Week one we got three pages of formulas.

The structure of mathematical arguments?

And 30 years ago? Damn.

I can barely remember it. It was 1986.

You'd take the logic from an argument and render it into an equation, that's about all I remember. The course was an enormous amount of brute force memorization, and I'd have forgotten the first things I memorized as soon as I'd been tested on them.

@Oeshon don't u code or something and get to live in asia while doing it or something

there are so many different uses for programming (automation, games, scraping, data analysis, web development, tool building etc.) that you ought to focus on one first to gain any sort of proficiency as a programmer. Then get a job where someone will pay you for programming. Once you're in, find other ways to use programming (i.e. whatever your non-programming colleagues are working on) to create value and expand your breadth.

I used to do it but now I mostly pay other people to do it for me.

Need a .Net or NodeJS dev?

I'll send you a PM next time I need someone.

You really, really learned what "going off on a tangent" meant.

I might.

Learn Python and SQL -- but there is so much competition and saturation of people who can program in either, its pretty much english now.

If you're looking for job market applicable in the near future: swift or kotlin, even GO would be beneficial.

Also look into R for data science which is always in demand (python helps there as well)
