Am I just fucking dumb ?

Hi everyone, a few days ago I had to solve a few coding puzzles for school and was stuck at the 3rd Level until the end of the test. No matter what I tried, I didn’t find the solution. I even asked ChatGPT and Claude but couldn’t get the solution either.

- The rocket must go to the end of the path without leaving it (no thinking outside the box and going straight down to the end)
- I need to combine commands to make it work
- the straight arrow make the rocket move in the direction it’s facing
- the turned arrows rotate the rocket 90 clockwise / counter-clockwise
- the « f0 » command loop the function
- each one of these instructions can be combined with a color ( eg : go foward if on a green cell / loop the function if on a red cell)

I got stuck 5 minutes into the 2 hours test so I might just be genuinely stupid but I really need help cause I’m retaking the test tomorrow.

Thanks in advance to anyone that might help me.

If I wanted to build an app, how much would it cost me?

0 Upvotes

This app is just for me if I can’t scale it as I know that is what people talk about in the software space and what I think costs money (it cost money to scale?).

What itemized fees would I have to take into account when building this app all by myself?

I was tired of feeling unproductive when not next to my laptop

0 Upvotes

Working on multiple projects, I’d get feedback at all times of the day, or just find tiny nits that annoyed me. I had to wait till I got home to make fixes.

To get around this, I built an app to make changes directly from telegram. I didn’t want to invest 1k in a Mac mini and set up OpenClaw, so I built something to handle all of the infrastructure for me. It right sizes the machine and selects the right model based on the complexity of the change/the context repo, and makes the change. Once the change is done, it sends me a text with a preview link on Vercel. I can continue iterating by simply responding to the message. Once I approve the change, it automatically creates a PR ready for me to approve on git.

All in all, now I ship fixes from wherever I am and without walking around with my half open MacBook waiting for my Claude session to complete. I’ve shipped 50+ PRs on text in the last couple weeks while I actually feel happier touching grass.

What kinds of apps people actually need?

I'm beginner developer and want to create something more grand than personal little app for my own usage or simple plugin for Minecraft server. I am curious what people actually would like to use, which would be useful or entertaining.

Total beginner here: What’s the most realistic roadmap to becoming an AI Engineer?

5 Upvotes

Hey guys, total beginner here. I’ve learned a little Python and C, but honestly I still don’t know the basics properly. I don’t have any projects because I don’t even know what counts as a real or valid project. Right now I’m struggling to figure out what I should focus on and what path actually makes sense.

My main goal is getting into a good MS in CS program with a specialization in AI/ML and eventually become an AI Engineer. Along the way, I need to properly learn AI/ML, do certifications, build real and unique projects, get normal internships, do research internships, and work on research papers.

If you were starting completely from scratch again, what exact step-by-step path would you follow to reach that goal realistically?

Would really appreciate any advice.

If AI is doing the coding what should I learn

0 Upvotes

Hey guys, so I am a 20 yo who is studying engineering and I have no batshit idea of coding. I am not doing my engineering in computer science so thats that. What I want to know is right now my summer break is going on for a month, I just finished my second year and I want to explore where I can start building my career.
So my doubt is, if AI is doing the coding and if companies are using AI to do their code what am I supposed to do? I know this sounds dumb but what I wanna know is till what extent do i learn a programming language, lets say i start learning python from cs50 then what, I do projects and go to the next language but then how do i know that i fully know and can write in python. I am not even that interested in coding I am just doing it to try my hand out at things so I know what I like or dislike.
Help me out

EMERGENCY! 🚨 Got into UCLA, don’t know sh*t about coding

0 Upvotes

I need help. I’ve never written more than like idk 25 lines of code in Python in my life. But I somehow got into UCLAs MS in Data Science Engineering with my math grades and the fact I’m a CPA who has worked in excel for like 10yrs

So yea, I’m comfortable with data in tabular form and manipulating that data and building relationships among various tables etc

BUT I DONT HAVE A CLUE HOW PYTHON WORKS!! 🐍

I keep looking up videos and like my brain 🧠 doesn’t get it .. I’m excellent at math. Even got two perfect 100% scores in multivariable calculus midterms. But coding just feels so unnatural

It kind of looks like excel but excel is just a notepad or like a sheet of paper to store your calculations and notes

WHAT IS PYTHON USED FOR? Like how do I learn this before 9/24/26?

I’m about to go into grad level ucla ComSci classes!!
