Poll: Do you have experience/background with computer/programming?

[EV-8371_kk]

For some reason, a lot of weebs I meet knows a little about programming for some reason.

Oh. Poll gets automatically concatentated. My bad

 

[MawMaw]

yes of course

 

[Hornyturtle]

Most programming will be outsourced. Only start programming as a hobby, terrible career choice

 

[wowfucktron]

Yes, but I learned it for, uh, unscrupulous reasons.

Don’t get into the field, it’s beyond hyper competitive and what few jobs there are will soon be lost.

It’s basically what @hornyturtle said.

It’s an atrocious field to get into because the window of opportunity passed long before the startup/dotcom2.0 bubble popped.

You aren’t going to make money, you’ll be fighting for table scraps with everyone else who stupidly went in believing there was money to be found, and your job will eventually be outsourced to China or India.

If you do learn it, only do it for freelancing/side jobbery/hobbyist nonsense.

Having a decent grasp of programming can be incredibly useful to have but yeah it being your career choice is a bad idea. Most people know it for either slightly illegal reasons or for fun.

 

[immortalartisan]

I learned programming to mod rim world myself

 

[bigtiddyoneesan]

No, other than some basic logic stuff. Seems cool though.

 

[Teasday]

Yes

As for getting into the field, I'm currently earning more with an intern salary than any other job I've ever had. Just live in a better country lol.

You heard him, patriots. It sounds like there's oil in Finland.

 

[EV-8371_kk]

Within almost a week, more than 50% answered yes. Honestly surprised.

And I'm not learning programming to be a professional.

Competition is tough too and not being cut above the rest is just, not getting a job seems like a recipe for depression.

Nah we have unions

 

[wowfucktron]

@teasday

Cringeland has unions for people who wear programmer socks.

 

[Remocracy]

Yup although dead poll lol

 

[Mr_Detective]

I wanted to be a game designer back in high school senior year. Took a C++ class in college. Had to drop because I didn't have enough intelligence to make the cut. Same for Calculus as well. Still curse my lack of talents until this day.

 

[KATCRX]

Wanna to be hacker a long time ago but I gave up.

 

[MeeruNoIranaiBoku]

kinda but I suck at it. Same as others mentioned, too competitive even in turd world countries.

 

[solstice258]

No.
When I was a kid I wanted to be a programmer but immediately gave up after learning I had to be good at math to do it.

 

[EOTFOFYL]

Programming is hard,
git blame keeps pointing to me,
guess I'll just git gud.
