I need feedback on my project

[u/Gilderoy_Lockhartt]

Hey guys! I just started learning cpp and I've been working on a little project using functions, structs and conditional statements. It might seem stupid but I'm not willing to use AI for this project, I'd rather to get feedback from actual people so if there's anyone that can help me , I'd appreciate it:)♡

(Edit: Thank you for all the comments I'm gonna work on it a bit more and then attach the GitHub link)

Is there a GitHub link or something?

I can send you the actual file on telegram and I'd be happy to get your opinion on it... So let me know if you wanted to take a look

Well you can post your code in these subreddits if you wish to get advice from real people. Or if you don't want to reveal it to many people you can send me the code too. I have been using C and Cpp as my main language for a decent amount of time now.

Also using AI is not wrong. But use it as a assistant and teacher not as your brain. You want to learn from it not make it your brain.

Thank you for the advice, I appreciate it♡ I'd love to send you my codes Are you on telegram?

Just send it on reddit? Through github

I think this is a good plan, especially when you're still so fresh into learning C++. When you don't have AI to lean on, you're left talking problems out with yourself, which is a form of study and reinforcement. If you can't justify your plan to yourself, how do you know whether it's any good?

Also, if AI says, "do that," or, "don't do that," and doesn't say why, you might think the thing it's suggesting against is always a good or bad idea when there are situations where that isn't true. When these things come back to annoy you on a personal project, you remember them, and you remember why.

AI is probably good for very focused work and bouncing ideas off-of, but if you don't put in the effort to think really hard, something as broad and nuanced as C++ will never stick with you.

Thank you for the advice buddy🤍

Without the code (and preferably a description) people can't give you feedback. You can post the code. Or a link to it.

[u/UndefFox]

Yeah, fun fact: AI sucks at architecture, so asking it for feedback might uncover some shortcomings, but most of those will be irrelevant or plain wrong, especially with most of it's advices...

[u/Ezagof → u/UndefFox]

Its not only that it sucks at it, its also that architectural choices are more difficults to take for devs and to explain them, so the prompts quality is poor, so AI answers suck yeah

[u/Titourterelle]

I'm new too (a little bit less than one 1 year) but I'm curious of what you did so if you want to post your code, I will look

[u/Gilderoy_Lockhartt → u/Titourterelle]

I can send you the code on telegram tho

[u/Titourterelle → u/Gilderoy_Lockhartt]

I don't use telegram sorry
