Topic: How do I become a code monkey?

Anonymous A started this discussion 2 years ago #112,431

I have no knowledge of programming at all, but I'm looking for a different type of work. I want to teach myself how to code.

What resources would you recommend?

Code monkeys have been replaced by GitHub copilot and other AI pair programming tools.

Tell it what you want to code, that's it.

If you're looking for a job, you'll need to be a degreed software architect or have some homies in DevOps already.

AI sucks at coding and if it misunderstands you, it's corrections always fuck up. Are you this retard?

It doesn't need to be perfect to automate a lot of man-hours in the industry.

It can read code and find a typo, write a few lines so you don't need to spend 10 minutes googling to see if someone else already solved the problem, and it can add comments onto existing code.

Hit regenerate occasionally, write the parts it can't, and even with these flaws it lets one thigh-high hijra do the work of two.

Hijra is a slur.

No, it’s literally not and what does this have to do with what I posted?

You don't need to double-post to correct yourself, just click edit.

Shit, forgot to change my UID. Sorry about that.

All good, but a trick for the future is to use different stylesheets on each UID. When they are color-coded it's harder to mess up like that.

Alternatively you could maintain one uid over multiple devices by setting a memorable username and password, or downloading the id card

Why do you use multiple?

I don't know why you have this idea, but it isn't related to anything happening in real life
