Oh I bet he understands empathy. He just doesn't see workers as "fellow men".

What's shocking to me is that no one tried to intervene. The president or somebody else? I'm not that well orientend in American politics but I thought the governors have someone above them to prevent exactly these situations. It's very unsettling.

It's so little they'd probably get even more offended and rightfully so

For anyone interested: it doesn't mention the price.

In all seriousness though, breaking things down helped me a bit. It can be useful in certain situations but of course isn't a cure-all.

Or if you're a neurodivergent with sensory sensitivities :'D

Yeah I miss that option (desktop). An X coud work too.

Wow this sounds great! Not gonna lie, you restored my faith and I'm happy there's so much more to learn than I thought.

[-] Krzak@vlemmy.net 2 points 1 year ago

That sounds nice :D

Just when I thought it couldn't get any more complicated haha. I like the puzzle part though, I'm thinking in a similar way.

Feel free to tell about what your day looks like. I'm exploring different positions so it'd be very valuable to me. I've already done a few courses in C# and Python, they seem to be quite common. My goal here is to get to know this role better, for now I have limited information about it. Is it rather repetitive, or is there always something new to do? What part of it do you enjoy the most and the least? Is it true that many desktop apps are really webapps?

Initially I was going towards software, turns out WPF beat me, in a group project I had a portion that involved it and I just couldn't do it. Making the buttons and all that was okay, backend too, but making them cooperate? No way. Sadly the other members weren't very helpful and there's surprisingly few in depth resources about WPF so I dropped it.

I don't have any background in tech so everything I know, I learned by myself. I haven't touched hardware yet, I know it's in the program of "trade schools" which is an alternative to high school here so they'd have an advantage over me. There's a limit to how much one person can learn simultaneously so I don't know much about that for now. I'd like to reduce the even of "starting a million things and never finishing any of them" so I'm trying to limit myself a little.

I noticed that testers are in demand but it turns out that almost all offers require a ISTQB certificate, which costs quite a lot of money so it's not available for me now. I have a limited amount of information about the position itself, I'm not sure what a tester really does outside of "tests things". For some reason many people, not just testers, have a hard time describing in detail what they do. It's probably because they have many different tasks so I understand, but it makes it difficult for me to get an idea of what the job is like. It feels like trying to navigate an unknown place, through a fog so dense you can barely see the fingers of your outstretched hand. There's probably a solution to this but I'm not aware of it. Maybe AMA posts or something, I have no idea.

tl;dr I need to make a programming portfolio but I'm struggling with justifying it to my brain

Hey, so... there's a thing that's been bothering me for a long time. I've never been able to "fit in" at most jobs. I don't really have "a thing I'd enjoy working in" which, in my case, is a problem because I just can't give up more than a half of my time to something I don't care about, it really messes with my brain and I can't stay in that situation for long.

Programming caught my attention because it relies on stuff I'm quite good at. Solving problems, some creativity, more detailed work too. I have a few online courses done so I'm not totally clueless etc. I have an idea of how searching for a job looks now and other basics.

Now, for the main course: I'm trying so hard to find a field to stay in but for some reason it's weirdly difficult. I think it's because I'm not sure what this or that position really looks in day to day life. I was interested in C# and backend the most but I'm not sure anymore. Is it only working on web pages all day long? I can see it's usually commerce and I don't like that too much. I'm open to other languages too, that's not a problem.

On top of that everyone says "do a portfolio" and they're right because that's probably the only way to showcase the skills a person has but that's where things start to get tricky. My mind just refuses to do a project for the sake of doing it, straight up "nope" and it just doesn't want to cooperate. I tried to look into open source projects to help someone else but they're too advanced, I'm in that weird void between courses and real life applications. I tried to ask people in beginner groups if they'd like to make something together but no one answered, nobody I know needs an app for anything too so it's no use.

I think it's more neurodivergency related thing than strictly tech. Trouble with decision making, motivation, many people don't understand that.

My reasoning behind all this is that if I find a project that's needed by other people, I'd be able to complete it. I haven't found anyone with a similar issue yet though.

I had the same reaction, it's good to find a new nook
