Finally built my first real world C++ application

Its a notepad clone .
Took me about 600 lines of code.

 

[FunnyVALENTINE]

Writting code memorizing syntax always was and still is a very trivial and low value activity. Companies these days force people to use claude even if they don't want to use it but learning the low level implementation of things on a code level is still valuable imo.

I started learning to write code at 17. I started remote freelancing at 19. I switched to full time 21 and In 22-23 now.

Btw what languages you know?

Mostly Python (Django, FastAPI) and JavaScript/TypeScript (Node, Next.js). I also know Java and have experience with low-level programming but I am a Devops/MLops guy now. Mostly work in the ops side but at my company they expect junior guy in sre to also do some coding.

Graduated over a year ago. And working
