What for are you here?

Question

I really don't understand participants who only take challenges there and not pass courses, make code, not try to learn something new about such beautiful discipline as programming.What for? What meaning just to earn points. What's next, when you'll reach a high level? Let's make good stuff and help each other learning new interesting things and raising skills!💻🖱
Maybe i'm wrong and critical too much. I don't know.

Answer 1

meh, they are not hurting anyone with this behaviour. Maybe it is how they learn? Who knows. I personally don't mind

Answer 2

I dont think that would happen.

Sololearn would die pretty quick if it did at any rate! ☺

Just for disclosure. I dont challenge at all as I didnt find it a useful learning method. Others differ.

Answer 3

there are more than 5 million users in Sololearn.....
surely everyone doesn't think the same......
all have their own learning ways and some even come here only to level up!!!!!!!!
we are free to do what we want and we should also care their ways........
if someone thinks that by doing challenges they can learn more let them do so...

Answer 4

Want to add to Chirag's statement:
"Any fool can write code that a computer can understand. Good(true) programmers write code that humans can understand". M. Fowler 😊😊😊

Answer 5

@jay Maybe you're right. But imagine if we only challenge each other and don't make new stuff and communicate, what will be with programming?

Answer 6

good thinking @4rontonder they only for fame I think.. But when you ask everybody answer.. Maybe there is a prime for the most fame on Sololearn

Answer 7

@4rontender........
i mean that all have their ways of being a programmer......
not all can become true programmers by challenging (for example I know that even if i make the record of challenging i cannot learn a programming language)
I prefer coding over challenging......

Answer 8

programmer in simple terms is a person who develops programs.......
according to mean......he/she is the one who
1. knows at least one programming language vividly
2.can create almost any code in that language
3.is full of coding ideas.....

Answer 9

SoloLearn's community can be really deceiving sometimes, probably due to the fact that it is oriented towards smartphone users.

Answer 10

@4rontender.......absolutely correct!!!😃😃😃

Answer 11

@Chirag Ghosh Am I understand you right, that you consider that everyone can become "true programmer" if he'll challenge with others only.
Is it only way?

Answer 12

@Chirag Ghosh Can I ask for you last time?
What do you mean of "programmer"
