I started with HTML because I wanted to make a website
I bought a book about it at the time
Then I learned some Apache server side includes to use like a template header and footer for my website instead of each page being separate.
Then I wanted to make a chat box thing (shoutbox as we called it in the day) and started learning PHP for that. Just used a text file I read and append to.
But then my friends started spamming it and injecting JavaScript alert boxes! So I had to learn about stopping spam, I just log the IP address and only allowed it to post once every 5 minutes. And how to escape the output to be safe for HTML so the browser won't run javascript in it.
oh also I made it refresh every 30 seconds. But what if the user is typing a message? Then we don't want to refresh. It was simple, just an iframe. I used JavaScript to detect if the input field was focused. If so it would not reload on the timer. If not it would reload.
is this image relatable to anyone? How? Are you telling me there are people who will try to compile the same code again and again, hoping for a different result this time
Yes it is. There are circumstances where this actually works. Am obvious example would be latex, iirc. the bibliography only gets updated after a compile or something so it's customary at times to have a single build script compile the entire thing 2-3 times.
Then there are also dependency issues caused by temporarily unavailable repositories *cough*maven*cough* that can be elevated by simply trying the command again.
Technically speaking, it's not the compile itself that throws the error but the loading of dependency is included in mvn compile so to the average developer it hardly makes a difference.
Overall, it's quite astonishing that something that should be deterministic like compiling can in edge cases "fix itself" by rerunning the command multiple times, and it's quite rare but nevertheless possible.
yesterday you should have been writting a simple stock broker which would automatically trade those memestocks and make you a IQfy mogul. But you didn't. Instead you're here today, asking what to do.
use the 7 day free trial on codecademy to get your foot in the door with whatever language you wanna learn, then go do leetcode or other programming question websites until youre swag moded
>I want to learn to write code
No, you don't. Nobody does.
Writing code is the least effective way to utilize a computer and it only starts being fun after you have learned it. For many people it's never fun nor satisfying.
So, be honest: what are your goals?
Your IQ isn't that high if you think the lrn2code meme is still a golden egg. On that note too, the area is saturated with high IQ people who also autistically enjoy to code. You can't compete. You'll be, at best, a jeet.

i hear there's actually a ton of lazy and not bright people who are basically code monkeys. my IQ isn't high but i think i just need to build a minimum skill set, i.e. learning some low level stuff rather than just frameworks and i'll be safe. or at least i hope so.

Yeah, that's what I said, they're called jeets and they get paid $4/hr which makes them the richest man in their village
Get computers puting
what's that?

this frick really enjoys shitty languages doesn't it?

do you think you need permission to learn? ok, you have it, now go make a pc say helloworld like the rest of us.
watch some tittok, the fountain of knowledge for zoomers with 30 second attention spans
before you can learn code you must learn what books are.

That was a good start

Just ask ChatGPT
Start writing code. That's litterally the best thing you can start with. Start with bash, powershell or python and move your way down.

Real money is more exciting anyway
>what are compiler flags
no. this scenario was invented by some moron in order to make this shit comic. Everyone wants to pretend to be tech nowadays

start with haskell

theodinproject. this will get you job ready and it's simple and straight to the point. many people have gotten jobs because of it.
also start trying to learn c++ on the side and maybe learn to build a compiler and stuff with it so you can better understand low level stuff.
Why? It's a useless skill nowadays.
Find a career that's not run by boomer managers who prostitute it out to immigrants with fake degrees and certs.
Be born with autism.
Ok, but what do you want to make? Anyways you sound like a zoomer. So here you go.
Don't start with meme languages

not him but i just wanna make money and i find coding more interesting than any other method of doing that (and that I have the IQ to do)
>i just wanna make money
Programming as a career will make you miserable unless you really have a passion for it. Pick something else.

Pick one
learn HolyC++
Pick a hobby project that sounds interesting to you and learn along the way.
No need to learn shit, use GPT4
CS50 and this. Or Programming Principles and Practice by Stroustrup though there is a new version set to release this month.

No one cares boomer
Great book. OP, pair this with Basic Mathematics by Serge Lang if youre a novice there too and you're on your way.
but don't you have to do proofs with that serge book
yes but I would skip those until you can or want to learn higher math
