Worrying about what other's think of you is a sign you're not utilising all the mental resources you have
Because that wouldn't even cross your mind if you used all your mental energy to the actualisation of your goals.

The biggest misconception in programming is thinking you have to remember everything.
You don’t.
Even the greatest developers Google things and look at documentation.
What actually matters is being able to solve problems and knowing where to find the information to solve it.

Books vs tutorials for coding are two completely different realms.
I'm currently learning C and tutorials are nice but they pretty much teach you to follow.
I love books for coding because they give you WAY more room to think for yourself and research.

A computer science degree teaches you why your code works.
A bootcamp teaches you that it works.
An internship teaches you don’t worry if it fully works or not just ship it 😉

Day 7 of Learning C.
Still reading a Modern Approach to C, really enjoying how interactive it can be with the Q A, exercises and programming projects.
Today I read Chapter 3 and covered:
• The printf function (more in depth)
• Conversion specifications
• Escape sequences
• The scanf function (more in depth)

If a 6 month bootcamp can land someone a job in tech,
Does that mean doing a three year computer science degreee is a waste of time?

Day 6 of Learning C.
After watching a YouTube tutorial on C and building a mini Contact Management System project.
I've decided to deep dive into the language by reading A Modern Approach to C.
Today I read Chapter 1 Chapter 2 and covered:
• History of C
• Strengths and Weakness of C
• Functions
• Statements
• Printing Strings
• Varibles & Assignment
• Reading Input
• Identifiers
• The layout of C programs

I started learning C before properly reading a book about it.
Just a short YouTube tutorial and a mini project.
I'm now diving into reading C Programming: A Modern Approach, kind of excited to see what I missed.

I regret not learning C first.
Not because C is the most useful language, but because every language I've learned abstracts things from me.
Like memory management and how compilers work.
C is beneficial, it doesn't abstract anything it's just you and the consequences.

If AI can solve your interview question in a few seconds,
Maybe AI isn't the problem.
The problem is probably your interview.
