ITT: how to make a long post within the character limit of Bluesky

Honestly, I’m seeing now that my difficulties with recursion are directly related to my difficulties with math. I have reached the part in learning to code where I need to take a step back, play with Swift instead of learning new stuff, and focus on leveling up my math skills before fall semester.

Apparently, my final is only two hours, not three. Frak. Thankfully, I did well enough this semester that even if I fail it, I pass the course. That won’t help me in a real world work environment, though. I still need to master recursion and pointers. The rest of my basics are solid.

94% on second exam. I can officially fail the final and still pass C++. Note to self: don’t kill myself next week studying Will still study of course bc this is my future, but the exam ITSELF shouldn’t be a stressor. That said, I still have a chance at an A for the course… maybe.

Nervous. Finals next week. I'm finally getting a handle on pointers, but now they've thrown recursion at us at the last minute. ... I don't think I'm gonna master this in a week :( #SWEstudent #C++ #Programming

TFW you open up an app you started last week going "yay i started this early so all i have to do is finish it by tonight" and it's just an empty main function and a bunch of pseudocode. whooops.

That awkward moment when you're halfway through writing an app and you suddenly think of a way to refactor it. Welp, here we go.

structs in c++ feel almost TOO easy after all of that wrangling of pointers. They're.. not unlike structs in Swift (at least at my level. differences may show up later.)

After a review like this, I'm actually quite proud of myself for still having an A average. To be fair, yes, I'm struggling -- but I'm still squeaking by. www.ratemyprofessors.com/rating/34819...

All that panicking over my midterm, and I made a 97%. In C++, a language I am typically awful at. Y'all.. I think this whole college thing is working for me.

Achievement unlocked: Pointers lecture is going too slow and I’m sitting here going “Yeah, I get it.” (In my head.. no shade if anyone else still needs it.. I was then RECENTLY) The extra studying helped, I have mastered the absolute basics - necessary to follow the harder stuff later.

It's hard to imagine my own career future when I'm the child of a man that singlehandedly saved Nokia over a million dollars on production of the Nokia 3310. The man was a literal hardware engineering savant. His boss gave a speech at his funeral about how he was literally irreplaceable.

Bruh ... I just wasted 45 minutes troubleshooting this programming assignment because it apparently didn't want me to delete the dynamically allocated array when I was done with it. The textbook TOLD me to build that habit, then the auto-grader script got confused. 🤦🏼

submitted 58 days ago • 0 comments

pointers themselves? annoyingly hard. dynamic memory allocation? pretty freaking cool and somehow click better than pointers themselves. maybe i just needed to see some examples of WHY we would use pointers before it started to click.

I am probably going to spend all week watching Stanford videos on pointers in C++

Suddenly thinking of a way to refactor an app I completed 3 years ago to make it more efficient. Unfortunately, I’m no longer on the project. I could still refactor my copy, but nobody would see it 😢

My son is ten. TEN. We're already having a big debate about whether he's going to Berkley or CalTech. He obviously doesn't have to make a decision any time soon, but it's wild to me how young they're even thinking about it these days. He wants to be an engineer and he's top 1% in math scores.

Judging by the amount of people that bothered to show up to class today, it appears I'm one of the only ppl struggling with pointers. Cool, cool. No pressure. I'd like to thank Stanford for making their videos on the topic public, so I have extra study material. #SWEstudent

They say it all the time, but I don't think it sticks for a lot of us. Networking is integral to furthering a career effectively.. and it goes further than just adding people on LinkedIn. I just reached out to an old manager and tbh I may not hear back bc we hadn't spoken in two years.

Have you ever been so in the zone that you accidentally completed an app? .... I guess I'm going to throw in some input validation, then, because I don't want to be done yet!

I still have one more program to create before spring break. My son decided to take a nap on me after my midterm, so I suppose I'll go ahead and take advantage of the quiet and make that happen. ^^

Welp, I made an A on the multiple choice midterm... barely. One question I missed was a simple misclick.. boo. The other one I'm still lost on, so I'll have to chat with my professor or start poking my more experienced coder friends.

Both questions on my midterm that I struggled with, I have since researched and determined I will likely get partial credit. So.. it's actually possible I squeaked by with an A after all.
