What People Think Programming Is Vs. What It Really Is

in funny •  7 years ago 

Morning, everybody! Many people who are not necessarily involved into programming or any other software development branches that are connected to it have a very let's say "Romanticized" general conception on how coding is actually done. While programming can be on more than one occasion fun, from my personal experience I can clearly state that it can equally be tedious and quite hard until you get the hang of it.

Fortunately though, as we now live in the 21st century, internet resources such as Stack Overflow provide clear answers to virtually speaking each and every programming-related question that one might have (totally regardless of the level of experience or difficulty of the said challenged programmer).

This post, nonetheless, aims to provide a more humorous approach towards the misconceptions on programming stemming from people who've seldom had contact with it but like to portray it as something exceptional or astoundingly exotic. The below Youtube I believe speaks for itself. Have fun! :)

"from my personal experience I can clearly state that it can equally be tedious and quite hard until you get the hang of it"

In my experience, it can remain tedious well after you get the hang of it!

Good point. It actually made me reconsider the whole passage you have quoted. :)

It also works the other way around.

Haha, that's so funny and true at the same time. :D

In particular I would like to learn programming but when I studied mechanical engineering I saw a subject of programming and did not understand it much. I congratulate everyone who knows how to program I feel it is a skill and it is very useful at this time.

Yeah, programming is quite tough to understand...

I can read code but can’t write it! I am an analyst so have lots of funny discussion with our developers. And it gets really amusing when I do discover a bug in the code.

That's nice. :)

Ahahahahaha. In my sporadic efforts at programming I have found that a 'well rounded' vocabulary and Google are utterly essential.

Thanks for a fun post!

That's true even for experienced programmers, I presume.

The googling errors thing is spot on 😂 I trained as a front end developer for about 6 months, and after the frustrations I experienced I decided to become a content creator instead.

Some people seem to take to the programming way of thinking easier than others, it's a steep learning curve - a bit like Steemit!

Yeah, that's quite an accurate way of putting things. For some it seems easier to create content while for others it's just simpler to implement the content through a bunch of code lines. It all depends on the perspective, I suppose. :)

Your post is very nice It is very good to read carefully. Hopefully you will be with us on the best of luck
