My take is that programming is impossible.

It’s not. Children can do it to some extent. It just takes a certain direction of interest. I once worked with this jew contractor who did graphics design, 3D animation, he just acted like learning to code was something that would be no big deal for him to learn, but I know the designer type simply doesn’t think in the way that makes for a good programmer.

It's true, I'm a creative type. Tried to start learning basic HTML and CSS via codeacademy to later move on to something more serious but I couldn't even get past that. I basically had to force myself to sit there and go through it but my mind kept wandering off. You really have to have a basic interest in this stuff.

I really think my thing ought to be suicide tbh but I'm still here instead. I guess my thing is being useless and a coward, but for some reason we can't have a gigantic war that I can die pretending I could stand next to you without hating myself in a world where you actually need to be able to do things. At least I don't work at Buzzfeed.

What's stopping you, anon? Lack of self-discipline? Cause that's my greatest barrier.

That's exactly what's stopping me from studying programming. I'm so burned out with life itself from all the humiliation and rejection I had to endure throughout my entire life that I'm NEETing it out to the max and my aim is to be as much of a useless parasite as possible - and coding is a useful skill, so that goes out of the window.

It heavily depends on how your brain is structured. Some people pick up a programming language for the first time, everything is logical to them, and they can write medium-sized programs on pure instinct. That requires a certain mix of logical thinking and creativity. If you lack too much in either department, either maths or the arts would be more your thing.

You need to have an analytic mind that is capable of abstracting real-world problems into the realm of algorithms and data types. Journalists are people-persons; their brains are the polar opposite of the programmer brain.

LTC is effective also because its inherently from someone with decent paying job. Imbued in the message is "I have stable income, you are homeless" furthermore it strikes at the jounos inner fear that writing articles wasn't a "productive" thing to do…there is no market for "gender studies articles" in the real world…the real world needs concrete, marketable skills.

Another fun one is to tell them: "Just pick avocados"…also works for different reasons.

I wonder why nobody's doing this one?

It looks like it'll work so perfectly, even knowing how the millennials that would become the journalists of today would be spending all their cash on Avocado toast back in the day.

this one is too absurd, so it won't really work the same way "learn 2 code" works. People will know you're joking. At least with "learn 2 code", they have to accept that it's the same advice they've been giving out. It makes them hippocrites. Lrn 2 avocado is just asinine, and probably being pushed by shills because it's far less effective.

At least the miners or the wielders can say that they don't know how to code because they never been to college.

Would be pretty funny to see those journos try to code. Had pleasure to work with one girl after couple of js courses, struggling to perform most basic tasks.

Each time she failed, she had to beg men for help. Good old patriarchy

LMAO I remember doing this any time some one walked past my desk when I had a make work coding job.

How long until they post HTML as samples of the "code" they've learned?

There was a period during Terry's Portland days where he seemed relatively normal and happy despite being off his meds. It bugs me that we will never know his mental when he died. Or, how he died accident, suicide, murder

RIP

java

I hope these globohomo journos do learn java. What a miserable language. Not only will they struggle mightily because of their lack of a mathematical background, but they will learn a language that only makes them marketable to legacy application developers / large industrial systems, which is would be far more miserable to them than working at a silicon valley startup (none of which use java).

I remember all these guys 20 years back telling me JavaScript was a joke, Java was going to revolutionize the Internet! Yeah, applets are the bomb. I wonder if I could slip an old school applet into a page these days?

Don't lower your guard, they're going to employ more on outlets like ProPublica. The fight against fake news still rages on.
