maintaining an old million+ line program with hundreds of feature toggles and not that many tests, and some parts entirely without tests, is fricking stressful and tiring
Low IQ individuals have difficulty visualizing abstract concepts without forming illustrative allegories to real life processes and objects every step of the way.
Once you leave the basics of programming, the abstract concepts ramp up to 11 and no amount of handholding will make it easier.
Some people are simply not cut out for programming, these people generally also have no inner monologue.
They don't. The majority of people aren't really human, they emulate what it means to be human but they are soulless or something. You can easily identify people like this because they lack any interest in what defines humanity: a drive to explore, innovate, and learn. "Humans" (NPCs) only seek to follow in the footsteps of what has already been explored and innovated. They simply do not have the ability to make their own choices and pave their own way.
Whether lack of inner monologue is a symptom or a cause of this, is up for debate.
Most people are very bad at introspection, they might have an "inner voice" but they don't recognize it as such.
These same people will look at pics like this and claim they're a 5, not because they have no imagination, but because they think you're literally supposed to see an apple behind your eyelids when you imagine an apple, instead of imagining it.
Granted, there are states of consciousness where these can become one and the same, but you are not likely to experience these normally.
I still find it hard to believe anyone below at least 2 exists. I'm a 1.

Are you physically seeing it or are you imagining the apple?
I managed a 1 once when I was delirious from cooming about 6 times in a row to the same thing and I continued to imagine more what I was fapping to but in vivid detail, literally behind my eyelids.

If I close my eyes and think about it I can see it, rotate it, etc. As if it was in Blender. It's not literally behind my eyes, it's in my brain.

hmm i can imagine things just fine, but now that i saw that image and am consciously trying to see how i imagine things i can't see anything
am i moronic bros?
I don't understand how there are individuals on this board who go out of their way to post stupid drivel such as this.
Programming isn't hard, it's just fricking boring. It's the white collar equivalent of a warehouse assembly line, the difference is that all of your co-workers are homosexuals who cannot banter. There are plenty of other jobs in tech that don't require you to code as much as a SWE that pay the same if not more than SWEs. SWEs are only highly compensated at FAANGS. SWEs share the same paybands as other tech homosexuals at most companies.
I haven't given up on it, but my ability to program varies a lot and I don't understand why. I guess it's just a general loss of focus, I struggle with even some simple programming stuff right now (re-learning React and Nextjs) but I've done way more complex stuff before, I just don't really get why I'm like this
when I really get into it I lose track of time and I'm extremely productive, but that's like a 1-2 month sprint where I get those productive days occasionally. then I start doing something else and forget most of it apparently
It's unfulfilling until you can make something with gui/3d graphics/file io. I learned about Win32/MFC before I could stomach console programs, now I can appreciate their simplicity and method of input, but to someone with a short attention span that shit is boring.
>Make the console print words, the content of this structure, the content of this class
It requires sheer willpower to push until you can do something actually fun. I was started with C in high school around 15 and I had to learn pointers and syntax and figure out how GTK and gstreamer works to play a single music file.
I've been coding for 15 years but I don't plan to do it much longer. AI seems to be learning2code faster than a human can. At this rate, I seriously doubt 90% of programming jobs will still exist in 15 years.
Yet the midwit luddites on here will screech "GOOD programmers will never be replaced," as they continue using github despite the fact their repos are being harvested for training data to feed corpo-bots that will do their jobs for free.
Which jobs will still exist in 20 years?
Plumbers? Youtubers? Professional athletes?
Anything else?
Normies get tempted by the promises of a chill , easy and well paid office job, only to realize that this shit is for autistic virgin nerds with zero social skills
because it is only enjoyed by ultra hyper nerds
how come barely used gym equipment listings spike in february?
shit just gets way too big for my brain
t. can only into small shell scripts

If at first you don’t succeed sky diving isn’t for you
That's because 90% programming is boring grinding, which is not readily apparent when you're a beginner reading easy to understand tutorials.
>90% of programming is boring grinding
if you're low IQ, yes. if you're of appropriate IQ, there is no grinding
Only low IQ enjoy the drudgery of software development. It's why pajeets almost exclusively use Java.

wtf doesn't everyone have this?

Fricking iToddlers.
I don't believe there are people without an inner voice. How the frick would these people read? Do they speak the words as they read them?
btw I am a 3. The apple has no colour but I still "know" what colour it's supposed to be.

also I think webdev in general might just cause me to focus less since it's so fricking boring and you're so reliant on tools that other people wrote.

There's a mind set to programming. You either have it or you don't. About 60% of everyone does not have it.
Being a non-programmer is nothing to be ashamed of. It doesn't even mean you have a below-average IQ.
It requires sheer willpower to push until you can do something actually fun. I was started with C in high school around 15 and I had to learn pointers and syntax and figure out how GTK and gstreamer works to play a single music file.

Perfect
most people give up on most things they try
its neither easy or creative, so keeping at it is hard. Most things we start we never finish, for many people programming is one of these things
