I'm going to post here when I can't figure out certain aspects of Java. I don't know how many of you know the language well, but help will be appreciated as I go through this bootcamp.

Also an excuse for me to post a countdown until Doomsday.

If you code, what language do you prefer?
19
Python
13
C++
10
Java
5
Other
4
Ruby
4
Combo (the right answer)
3
C# (lol)
2
Javascript

People who are just learning to code aren't concerned about optimization, about getting the "best" answer for something. They just wanna clear a roadblock. For that, Stackoverflow is your friend.

you can't really weed out the answer you're looking for from nothing. some questions haven't been asked yet or at least don't show up on search results, especially when it comes to optimization.


Stop bragging people who are just learning how to do things, learning to code better aren't concerned about optimization, and for them stackoverflow is a great resource.

i was last playing with dart, it's pretty neat

and stackoverflow is not your friend. it's an awful website where amateurs offer unhelpful advice to other amateurs, make pointless edits to everything for stupid badges, and complain if they're too ignorant to answer a question because god forbid you don't know everything.


I don't post questions on it. Anything that I've Google searched syntax or logic for has been on HackerRank. You have to have a certain level of knowledge to weed out the crap from the actual information you want, but you're right when a lot of it is unhelpful.

lua can be fun too, if only because of its variable argument operator. really lets you indulge in bad practices knowing it doesnt make a difference because its a scripting language
