What is the one thing that you realized/learnt very late while learning to code/programming?

Question

Share something that you think everyone should know if he/she is going to be choosing programming as a career.

Answer 1

These are the few things that I realized late while coding:
1.) Programming is mostly boring.
2.) Writing a code without any error is almost impossible.
3.) Language is just a tool for programmers, so don't waste time in choosing which language to start with.
4.) Your problem solving skills are more important than the number of languages you know. So start solving.
5.) Learning to Code is all about consistency.
6.) You should never neglect your doubts, as soon as you have a doubt Google it.
7.) Stack Overflow is your Teacher and your Best Friend :p

Answer 2

Every coder has its own way of solving problem !!! ...

Answer 3

HTML 💖 ,I really regret it.

I first learned HTML in 10th standard but then I didn't realized its power and application.

Then after 3 years , Now I just love it !!!! and I'm always curious to know more about web.

So my advice to other programmers is :

Try to go as deep as you can go in any language or subject, you learn. You may find your interest in it later.

Answer 4

What I learnt is->
Giving proper indentation and commenting on your code is like serving a dish properly;just like if you cook something good and have not served it well then it looks bizarre and will not be appealing to the one your serving.So whenever you code,to present someone give it a proper indentation and comment so that your dish(code) looks more appealing and readable to anyone.

Answer 5

Don't imitate, understand

Answer 6

Stay curious and keep it fun. Always choose consistency over speed.

Answer 7

Don't give up if u can't solve some problems, keep trying & a moment comes when u will get the solution. 😊

Answer 8

Find a language you enjoy and stick to it/attempt to master it. It is too easy to jump from one to another and be a jack of all trades/languages but a master of none.

Answer 9

Hmmm when you realized that you started coding late you feel very backward. I feel that I started coding very late because if I had started it early , i would have become an expert today in programming and may have become a programmer. So, that's why I always feel if I could have started coding early....

Answer 10

Yeah..... I start to code 4,5 months ago. At that time I thought this was very boring.

But now I have a great pleasure to do coding.
Learn
Think
Code
Solve

This is the thing I use to do my works....

Answer 11

programming has the power to excite you and push yourself out of your thinking limits .

Answer 12

For those who find programming boring.... these days.... back i my days as cobol programmer we have to write code on a peace of paper and are reposponsible for it to work without to test, because a Computer Session at a MainFrame was really expensive.... remeber „The Programmer“

typing that programm from paper into the MainFrame Computer was the job of so called „Coders“ ... trust me.... that was boring 😬😎

Answer 13

Programming is not fun for non-programmers. So hurry and be a one.

Answer 14

To Never delete this App again.
i lately found pleasure in using this app

Answer 15

I dont know because i didnt started my programming carrer and i dont know how to start it......... thats why first i want to learn and next i will start my programminig career.......

Answer 16

I learned that coding is like giving orders to the computer. While you code you're a boss for your computer.

Answer 17

The one thing that I realized very late in my programming career is that I haven't started my programming career yet.

Answer 18

Unfortunately, I learned of the proper process of writing code too late. I didn't realize when I started that I couldn't just take my problem and start coding immediately; I needed to analyze what I was doing and figure out how I was going to make my program do what I intended it to, meaning that I would end up trying to solve 50 problems at once while I ended up with a pile of code that even I, the guy who wrote it, couldn't decipher.

Answer 19

declaration of Variables and some Programming Syntax, i have been in darkness for long
Thank God for SOLO LEARN,

Answer 20
