True story!!

on a not entirely unrelated side note: I started computer science in university to learn more about algorithms etc.

I don't disagree with you though.

Im currently on the right lane. Let me explain. I was introduced cs while playing video games and a guy told me to learn html and css first. After that I took all codecademy free classes in high school. Because life isnt a single path, I learnt international business after that but wanted to switch back to dev and the easiest way (in France) and shortest is to take a 5month class about nodejs and angularjs or php. Its for me a first step into cs. Im learn in me free time C to prepare 42 Paris. So the easy way by learning javascript may be the best shortcut when you dont have a degree or cant go back to school. The thing is to know what after that first initiation, you will do.

I'm just trying to get paid to do what I love and javascript is currently the easiest way to accomplish that in my case. Believe me, once I find a real dev job, I'll make it my mission to learn the nitty gritty of things; I would now, but I can't afford it.

Knowing how to implement bubble sort doesn't get you paid

I recommend checking out Kevin Sedgewick's tutorials on Youtube, really helpful when you're starting to learn about different algorithms :D

Well, I think I'm that guy without friends just entering the left door xD

I've been having this feeling that younger devs are depending on higher level languages and frameworks too much. But I could be biased here, I work mostly in C++ and asm as a matter of preference.

@Autism420 little rude don't you think? The meme literally is a book about algorithms so yea I do think it's about algorithms, such as bubble sort.

I am alone in the left side queue. But theres no queue so i go in first. Now, no matter if lifo or lilo i get my place first. If you made a bst of the Students ID be the root. But i couldnt participate in courses cuz i would calculate the complexity of the inlet of students yn th' right queue

@Autism420 I wish I could favourite this comment so it could serve as motivation for my studies😋

Why not both?
