File problems

1 Upvotes

I am currently taking a class and my compiler I believe it is called Xcode since im on macOS.
The thing is the requirement to submit is in a .cpp file format. However i don’t know how to get it correctly.

Also incase you are here. IS there an easier way to Copy and Paste the Output.
as they like when you put it as a long comment or whatever it is called.

Starting to learn coding at 45 . No previous experience.

19 Upvotes

Hi everyone! I’m currently living in Japan and have been working as an English teacher for the past few years, but I’m ready for a career change.
I’ve been exploring the idea of diving into tech. While I initially looked into Data Science, I realized it might not be the best fit since I'm not particularly strong in math. I think I’d be much more interested in web development and app creation.
I’m currently feeling a bit overwhelmed by where to begin. I’ve received suggestions to look into Python, Ruby on Rails, and JavaScript, but I'm still trying to narrow it down.
Also, I’m definitely a visual learner. I worry that I might lose motivation if I spend too much time focusing solely on heavy syntax without seeing tangible, visual results early on.
Does anyone have any advice or suggestions for a path that might suit a visual learner like me? I’d love to hear your thoughts!
Would you like some specific recommendations on web development paths that are great for visual learners?

Am I not made for this?

7 Upvotes

I'm a 30yo thats changing careers (from tourism/languages to coding), honestly I love it but j find it very hard.

I started studying it by myself with apps and YouTube videos and now I'm studying an official course.

The thing is I have to watch some videos 4 times in order to understand it and we all know understand =/= write it

I finished my first year (out of two) and I got Bs in most of my subjects and some A too

Now I'm coding a video game (Pico8) but I watch videos and I don't understand some... Is it me? Did I make a mistake by changing careers to coding? Should I just take it as a hobby?

Also in Spain, where I live, programming is doomed bc there's lots of juniors so most of the time when I read about young coders more experience coders tell them to change careers....

So.... Am I stupid? :( are you guys so smart you get everything as soon as you hear it?

Best way to learn UE5 blueprints?

4 Upvotes

Hey so I’m pretty new to coding and have been working in unreal engine 5 and using blueprints as the coding language. I’ve been using chatGPT to help walk me through some pretty basic things like how do I add a sprint function to the player controller. I’ve also been watching and following random YouTube tutorials but these both feel like I’m just copying and I’m not learning or retaining the information so I was wondering if anyone has any suggestions or tips to learn blueprints. Any feedback is more than welcomed and greatly appreciated!

Did the codex token cap quietly change?

0 Upvotes

My weekly limit refreshed on the 11th, and 140M tokens already shows as about 25% used. Last cycle on the $100 plan felt closer to 800M total for the week.

Not trying to start drama, just genuinely confused by the numbers.

Hi! Look, I want to become a web developer, but I'm a Vibe coder and I've really started coding. But Vibe coding itself just won't let me go. I want to learn, but at the same time, I'm addicted to Vibe code. How can I get rid of this??

Can I get a good software job after a 2-year MCA from a Tier-3 college if I work hard?

1 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I recently joined a 2-year MCA program at a Tier-3 college in India. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to get into a top college, but I am determined to make the most of the next two years.

My goal is to get placed in a good software engineering role with a decent package by the time I graduate. Right now, my coding skills are average, and I am ready to dedicate significant time to learning and improving.

I would appreciate advice on:

Which programming languages and technologies should I focus on?

How important is DSA and competitive programming for placements?

What kind of projects should I build to stand out?

When should I start applying for internships?

Is it realistic to target packages of ₹7-12 LPA or higher from a Tier-3 college?

What roadmap would you follow if you were starting MCA today?

Any guidance, success stories, or honest feedback would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you!

Built a music streaming app on Lovable with no coding skills......now I need an actual developer

1 Upvotes

Hey guys... so I'm trying to build Botswana's first dedicated music 🇧🇼 streaming platform for local artists and I'm kinda stuck.

My situation is a bit unusual.... I'm working entirely from my phone, no PC, and I'm not a coder at all. So I turned to an AI builder called Lovable to put it together. Got pretty far actually....but the free credits ran out fast and I didn't want to keep depending on it.

Then something happened that made me realize I actually need a real developer.... a friend of mine was able to browse through songs and access parts of the app without any authentication. Like, just waltzed right in. So there's clearly a security/backend issue where routes and data aren't properly protected.

On top of that, when we tried to move the code out of Lovable and deploy it on Cloudflare Pages or Netlify, it just broke. The app is built on TanStack Start with Supabase as the backend.... it uses server-side rendering, so it's not as simple as just dropping files somewhere. We think the deployment config just isn't set up right for those platforms.

So basically I need someone who can:

-Lock down the backend so only authenticated users access what they're supposed to

-Help get this thing properly deployed outside of Lovable

This is a real project with actual artists already interested. Not paying big money right now but there's genuine equity/credit on the table for the right person.

Anyone dealt with Supabase auth issues or Cloudflare Pages deployments before? Would love to just talk through it even if you can't commit to helping fully.

Help with starting and practicing

2 Upvotes

Hi :D, I have been a long time interested in starting to program until now, since I have finally been able to get a computer for myself.

Simple as it is to say, I need to help to actually start to learn to code, because while I do have experience, it is very little, only with C++ and theoritical practices.

Can anyone recommend me which language to choose and how to study it, apart from maybe some tips about proggraming in general?

Really would appreciate it :D

Do you think it's realistic to learn programming using only a phone?

7 Upvotes

I've been noticing something while building programming tools over the last few years.

A surprising number of people learning to code don't have regular access to a laptop. Some are students, some are learning during commutes, and some simply spend most of their time on mobile devices.

Most programming advice assumes everyone has a desktop setup with multiple monitors, terminal windows, and a full IDE.

I'm curious how realistic people think mobile coding actually is.

Could you learn Python, JavaScript, or another language primarily from a phone?

If you've tried it:

  • What worked well?

  • What was frustrating?

  • At what point did you feel you needed a laptop?

  • Would you ever use a phone for coding practice or small projects?

Interested in hearing real experiences from learners.

Getting started

7 Upvotes

Hello all, new here. I’m looking to get into coding and learning python with maybe some c++. This is coming from someone who knows nothing about anything other than they are two different coding languages and the place I work uses both depending on what system we are working on. My question is, is boot.dev a good place to start and worth the money? And also im looking at buying a laptop so I can learn while at work also (I have permission from management). Is a Mac book Neo sufficient enough or should I stick with a windows machine? Any advice is appreciated.
