Codemaxxing?

[sergeant blackpill]

So i am about to start my vocational education in programming and i have some questions for the codecels on the forum.

1. Is being good at math a prerequisite for getting good (enough) at programming? I'm terrible at math and barely made it through my high school maths (i found quadratic equations impossible to comprehend)
2. i am a brainlet, can i still learn programming?
3. Is there a labor market shortage of programmers? Would it be easy to find a job once i graduate?

youre gonna be a low-earning, disposable low value asset to a company if all the suppositions you've stated are true. Seek something else like a trade. Unless you truly enjoy being a code monkey, because I sure don't

to elaborate, you might find something in frontend design. but any retard from a coding bootcamp will be competition.

Damn boyo

The thing is i applied for a vocational education in a trade, and i took some kind of general verbal and mathematical aptitude test, and i scored the highest in my class, so the teachers suggested i aim higher and told me i should do coding. but i'm scared i'll waste my time and fail

no code for your







already know right

Yes
Yes
There is for seniors, juniors... Im not sure.

If math didn't come naturally to you in grade school, don't pursue programming unless you want to be a wagie in the midwest earning 40K a year working 10 hour days dumbass.

no code for your recessed mandible.

Take the progression of AI into account before making a career choice. Even though a lot of people in a lot of professions vehemently deny their jobs from being capable of being (partially) replaceable, they'll be in for a reckoning over the next decade.
Try to choose those jobs you can be reasonably certain will not become unnecessary.

What would that include besides social jobs?

Yeah you not being able to do math makes me think that you don’t have the logic, multitasking, and forward thinking to do big projects.

i dunno if my mandible is recessed, i think it's right on the edge where it might be slightly recessed but maybe it's just body dysmorphia...

Why exactly is it that makes math a predictor for success in programming?

I'd be fine earning 40k per year that sounds like a hella lot of money to me

if you have 80 SNB you arent recessed

rn I'm in calculus but I also work on math problems that don't use advance math, they only use simple things like equations and permutations/combinations but they are very difficult because you need to handle lots of different information at once and need to know what to do with this information. Some of them can take 30+ minutes. Another example would be that I've had physics problems that took over an hour to solve and most of the time was spent finding equations for variables that are only indirectly related to the final solution, and then putting them all together at the end, so if you can't even do a straight forward quadratic formula that gives you the correct answer after putting some numbers in the right spot then there's no chance you'll be able to work with massive programs.

I'm also in ap computer science and I know for a fact that if you cant even repeat what you were taught in math class but with different numbers (pretty much all quadratic formula problems) you will have a hard time solving original problems that you've never seen before in only a few minutes.

Well for what it's worth i did manage to pass my math classes with the help of a special tutor, so i was able to repeat what i had learned eventually, but what i mean is that i do not understand why the things that work...work, if that makes sense, and i do not understand the reasoning behind it.

I know i'm more of a humanities guy, but i'm in too much debt to go back to uni so that ship has sailed (used to successfully study geopolitics at uni but dropped out after a year due to severe depression from SSRI). it's a troublesome situation as it feels like i'm too dumb to STEMmaxx but i got told that i should aim higher than trades.

For programming jobs you need to understand the logic behind algorithms but you can practice that and you don't actually need to know how to make your own programming language and shit like that so you could have a chance

i hope so because im in my late 20s so this is basically my last chance to get an education and moneymaxx, otherwise i will be living on welfare and LDAR rest of my life

Good luck man. You better work your ass off

1. Yes
2. Yes
3. No shortage of programmers but it isn't difficult to find a programming job either
