My 6 year old has been learning about trees at school, and had questions for me. Needless to say, she now has the best understanding of data structures in her class, and I expect parents evening will be "interesting"

You see a web, I see:

CLIENT: HTTP Get
SERVER: HTTP Response

CLIENT: TCP FIN
SERVER: TCP FIN ACK

All I’m saying is that this spider has a clear understanding of Transfer Control Protocol.

Finally a guide for understanding if you should use WordPress for your website

I don't judge other developers for not knowing or understanding a particular concept, I judge them for pretending like they do...

This week was my Boss's wedding,
So had most of the week off.

Took the free time to solidify my understanding of Docker.

Last night, I was finally able to Dockerize our whole architecture.
Deployed it today morning. Running without hiccups till now :')

Feeling amazing.

When someone explains to me that they really care about their privacy and use WhatsApp or signal or other encrypted messaging services and then you see then typing stuff through the GOOGLE KEYBOARD.

Yeah i think they're not understanding something 😆

"But I don't know where to start..."

"... just start typing, be willing to mess up, and if you get lost just start over with better understanding from messing up. Eventually it'll work."

A university that teaches students
C++ without teaching an understanding of memory management is pointerless.

The most valuable skill I get from my computer science study is understanding the jokes on devrant :)

We've all been there

Normal user understanding of cloud storage😂😂

My boss said something genius today: "understanding client's wishes is like writing a regexp for everything they say"😂

"Mark Zuckerberg understanding on AI is limited" @elonmusk

Manager: "yeah so thanks for understanding we can't give you a payrise, by the way we need you to train the new guy we just hired who is your senior because even though he is more experienced than you as a c# dev he doesn't understand what an object is"

Me...

Understanding my colleague's spaghetti code is like smelling the color of number B.

Don't BS your managers or peers about your understanding of a topic.

It is okay to not know something. It is not okay to pretend that you do.

F in Internet explorer stands for fast!!
U in client stands for understanding!!
C in iPhone stands for customizable!!
N in US stands for net neutrality!!

B in devRant stands for boring!!

Reading regex is way easier than understanding the mind of my non IT boss

Understanding recursion requires understanding recursion first.

From Mr Robot
“Most coders think debugging hardware is about fixing a mistake.
But that's bullshit.
Debugging’s actually all about finding the bug.
About understanding why the bug was there to begin with.
About knowing that it’s existence was no accident.”
— ELLIOT

How come that asking politely on StackOverflow brings you hatred and contempt while hating on DevRant brings you empathy, understanding, consolation, encouragement and a friendly slap on the back?

Playing Warcraft and similar games prepared me for understanding Classes and Instances in Object Orientation later.

1.) Complete knowledge and understanding of C++.

2.) Fast and accurate typing skills.

3.) Ability to sleep peacefully all night.

People gotta start understanding this!

Mgr: Do a talk about that library you're using.

Me: Sure but I'm just learning about it now maybe when I have a better understanding of it.

One week later.

Mgr: I booked a department wide mandatory lunch and learn this Friday for your presentation.

Avast understands that i don't want to restart ;)
(The last options is next century)

"Debugging's actaully all about finding the bug, about understanding why the bug was there to begin with, about knowing that it's existence was no accident.It came to you to deliver a message."

Thank you to all the mentors out there! My mentor has the patience of a saint and really helps me understanding everything much better.
You guys help more than you realize!

Well, it is my turn to rant about the retards on Stack Overflow who are voting down questions only because they are not capable of understanding it.

As a high-school student who has learned to program, i can't understand why programming isn't standard curriculim. It makes it so much more fun to learn math and physics. I also think even basic understanding of it improves how we use technology

Remember to teach your youth to program!

FUCK WEB DEVELOPMENT.

Seriously, what the hell. Things evolve so goddamn fast and someone new to the field can’t even grab something to start with. Once you start understanding something it fuckin changes and something else takes it’s place.

Fuck this shit, I’m out.

i'm seriously over mobile devs not understanding what backend architecture looks like.

the "we don't need a backend, we just need an API." statement drives me up the fucking walls. stop it, you should know better.

sincerely -
your friendly neighborhood web developer.

Sometimes I go ridiculously hardball on my comments in order to gain a better understanding of what I'm trying to accomplish

The 'Essence of Essential Algebra' is an amazing YouTube playlist by 3Blue1Brown to watch if you want to start understanding the algebraic concepts underlying Machine Learning!

🙄 Windows asked me to install the update thrice. I asked it to remind me later. The fourth time it just shut my system down and started updating..

This is what you call a constructive and understanding OS-User relationship 🌝

The use of git and understanding/working with foreign keys and performing (including the understanding) JOIN queries.

Also, it took me years and to understand OOP.

When think back to my code from before that, my brain spontaneously starts bleeding.

Confession: I sometimes drop in lines like "not everything should be public, some things should be private" and "good understanding of the relationship is vital" etc. when arguing with the girlfriend. If she ever finds out what I'm doing I'm in serious trouble...

This is perfect for new programmers!

AHHHHHHHHHH THEY CAME. Thank you guys for simply understanding what im talking about.

Self rant!

Looked at a code snippet I wrote last year and I thought to myself: am I geting stupid for not understanding my own code ?

Tried to re build it from scratch...

Failed and had to reuse it without understanding how it's working.

I guess I am getting stupid!

When you push and PM (whose understanding of git stretches to git.length == 3) pushes 20 minutes later overwriting all of your changes and refuses to acknowledge their mistake (s).

From a gitlab blog post:

"You wouldn't copy and paste an answer from StackOverflow, without understanding it, (...)"

No.. never....... 🙄

The thing is that I have told my family a few times what I really do at work. But I have to be honest: explaining what a backend dev does is hard without showing a GUI 😂

Sometimes I even think for myself: wtf am I doing here... 😁

Understand my own code after two weeks
This is very useful 😂

u know what is more irritating than listening to a thick indian accent almost not understanding a shit he's saying while coding?

listening to a thick indian accent almost not understanding a shit he's saying while he's playing a 70s porno music in the background and explaining how to code something.

actually that music calms me down somehow from being too much frustrated, its like he knew "i know im irritating so heres a bad music to calm u down"

I have to admit, making JSON API's is a great way to learn a language/framework. You have to deal with so many things that challenge your understanding.

I'm turning 28 this year and I still feel I got a really really long way ahead in understanding Javascript and all the new web app building technologies happening.

Feeling a little frustrated for not learning faster and getting kind a stuck, I'm not getting any younger.

Porting Java Code to Kotlin manually, just to get a better understanding of the language. Best thing so far, NO more Assertive Exception Handling.

I wish I was a developer so I could relate a little more to these posts, but my basic understanding makes it enjoying to read!

Fuck... coming from a Python background learning low level stuff is hard as shit.. gonna need to learn C/C++ and some Assembly real soon!

Gotta say though, understanding that stuff makes everything have more sense all of a sudden hahah

"Understanding Js"

Pet-peeve: fellow devs who think scoffing/dismissing/not-my-probleming before actually understanding the issue is a sign of intelligence; newsflash: you are being lazy, disagreeable and unprofessional.

Instead of investing in a rubber ducky for explaining my coding bugs I decided to have Alan Turing be my listener. At least he'll be more understanding than a pretentious biased rubber duck!

Y'all ever learn something and just kinda smile about it?

I finally got a decent understanding of lower level concurrency control like mutexes and sephamores (I knew about atomicity before but never knew how it was implemented) and I just got this huge grin across my face.

If there is 2 books you should read before trying to tackle TAOCP... this might be on it.. as well as the Concrete Mathematics book.

Anyway. This book covers not just the fundamentals of modern algorithms and data structures but it also makes the leap to understanding multithreading and algorithms using multithreading.

Some argue the certain concepts in this book are presented without explanation of how they work, but I guess that should be something the reader try’s to figure out from another book or constructive thinking critically. Keeps the reader on their toes for understanding.

This is also the reason many people suggest the sedgewick algorithm books, of which will be posted another day.

It's 23:00 and I'm too fucking tired to do anything but sleep.

How the fuck you people stay up all night and even develop cool stuff while doing so is beyond my understanding.

I've been doing some Codility exercises, and I can't see how it reflects on my skills as an engineer. It's just math riddles that can be solved with those fancy calculators.

Bad dev habit I am trying to fix: copy-pasting code without understanding

Documentation is your friend. I learned off of just documentation and experimentation and I feel I got a broader understanding of the language more than any tutorial could.

I fucking hate this low level programming shit. The fucking buffer overflow attacks and the whole understanding of the system architecture just goes over my mind. Can anyone who has found relatively useful resources be kind enough to refer them to me so my stupid mind can understand that better?

IBM Cloud channel on YouTube is fucking brilliant for understanding different tech.

Focus of mastering one language, don't jump around to every web langue out there.

Also don't follow the programming language band wagon. Focus and master the basics first HTML, CSS, Jquery. These aren't going anywhere and a SOLID understanding of JavaScript will go WAY further then you think

My reward for understanding this thing is an early night. Time for bed :) remind me not to submit this assignment with the comments still in it. As I have done before.

If you're capable of understanding this, then WHY IS IT IT SO DAMN HARD TO UNDERSTAND 0 == ""?

Ability to ask the right question the first time.

Sometimes the hardest part of development work is first understanding the question that’s needed.. the answer isn’t typically hard to formulate from there.

I've been using git mindlessly for a while now. But this week I've been working on getting a better understanding of how it's working.
There's a lot there that exists, it's nice to be doing it properly and not destroying branches and not understanding why.

Perfect understanding on what clients actually want based on what they said.

As a junior dev from a sysadmin and security background, this is a list of software development concepts I never seemed to truly understand but hope to(rated from most intimidating to least):

1) Frontend web development and all the huge world of javascript frameworks and tools. - It's more overwhelming than the political geography of the Holy Roman Empire in the Middle Ages.

2) Machine Learning, Deep Learning and A.I- too much math that fucks with my brain.

3) low-level programming(kernel,drivers) - sounds extremely interesting but the code in assembly/C/C++ looks like Linear A Minoan hieroglyphics.

4) Rx(insert language here) - I never get why it is useful or why someone invented this. Seems interesting though.

5) Code Reflection - sounds like Thelemic magick.

6) Packaging, automation, build tools, devops, CI, Testing -seems too complicated. I just want to run an executable at the client or make a web app that does something. Why all this process?

1) Let me work with devs without me having to explain fundamentals of programming

2) Stop devs from copy pasting code from StackOverflow or any other project without actually understanding what it does

3) Get devs to actually read and understand project documentation FIRST before jumping into any programming work

As a mediocre, how do you understand complex systems? How do you effectively read internal documents and designs so you can take out information for your particular use case?

I feel like my intelligence is less than average and I either deep dive too much or too shallow. I am slow and coming on to a decision about my use case after reading through is next to impossible for me but my teammates are fine with these.

The moment you sit down to try to fix a bug and you just stare and the screen for an hour not understanding how this even happened

I own a start up with two friends of mine - one is great with business, and the other tries to be both a developer and on the business side. I'm fully on development and I find it extremely frustrating to work with him. He copies and pastes code, doesn't understand it, and worse still will never admit it and digs himself in deeper into the hole he's dug. He doesn't code as a hobby and it's purely just assignments in university that he spends any coding time on. I've tried helping him to improve over the past few months, but nothing seems to ever do anything as there's no desire to solve problems - just really dollar signs in his eyes is probably the only reason he's in computer engineering. Recently we got a contract with an organisation to make an extremely simple app for android and iOS as the first stage of their planned development. As I did the most of the work on another project during the summer (while juggling a job with another company as an internship), I asked if he could take this so he can try to improve and equalise work so he does his share. Not only did it take 3 weeks, but it's shoddy as hell and looks like it was done in the space of an hour. In reality it took days for him. It's unbearable! The android code I saw was clearly just copied from various sources and mashed together - there was no planning, no understanding of abstractions, and was legit a giant class or two with extreme amounts of redundancy. Hell, he even asked me for help for trying to implement fragments when I pointed out that making screens with buttons and such will be extremely difficult if he is only passing in strings. Any of you guys experiences something like this before? I'm planning on bailing in the coming weeks once my exams are over with for university as it's becoming unbearable.

Concentrating and understanding someone's code/ script. :|

The code is not in class form, does not have comments, and indentation is out of control. T_T

Don't get the logic where good understanding of algorithms is only needed for backend developers.

Understanding the usage of

public static void main (String... args)

There are two stages in programming.
The first is when everything goes smooth as heck, and you're a god.
The second is when everything goes to shit, and you don't understand anything.

One of my most frequent coding errors is putting e before I in function calls because my understanding of English spelling is worse than my code 🤣

I hate iOS. Everything works perfectly on windows / OS X on any browser, but then you have retarded iOS not understanding anything of the (simple) ES5 JavaScript I throw at it, and good luck debugging that when your Mac isn't with you.

Getting tired of Apple's shit

Understanding pointer arithmetic in C. M still not proficient in them 😅😭

Computers are simple, our understanding is making them complex

It works. My code fucking works. It shouldn't. I got tons of errors, I changed to some obscure shit, expecting it to fail, but it fucking works. I should be happy, but I'm mad for not understanding how.

How does random number generation work? I'm curious. What are different methods in which you can generate random numbers?

If you could link me to an article or some docs, that'd be appreciated. How far does your understanding of it go?

Thanks for your time.

"When developers encounter confusion, they usually blame the language instead of their lack of understanding."

I love this. It's from the You Don't Know JS Book Series that I'm reading.

So c++ isn't really ideal for robotics? I could just not understand c++ correctly. I think it's just my terrible understanding of why a compiler is needed. I am an intermediate Python Dev, so I guess I'd like to download the "language" and go, ya know?

My elementary IT teacher whom I owe all my enthusiasm to introduced me to MIT Scratch, and I found the concept of chaining dumb operations to accomplish tasks fascinating. Later I learned c++ which I hated vehemently for a couple months until it clicked. After that I studied C#, which I managed to use for over a year before realising what copy by reference actually means. With that realization my understanding of programming languages was essentially complete and since then I have only learned techniques and tricks and languages that add few new ideas, and I don't expect anything to fundamentally change my understanding of programming. All of that was 5 years ago BTW.

I realized how much I suck at maths.
But seriously now, I started understanding the way things work, what makes them 'tick'.
It feels good to look at a random huge advert screen and immediately conjure up a pseudocode how I imagine the developers must have done it.

Guys I think I might have adhd and I might be bipolar. Except I have brown parents that aren’t very understanding

Forget about complex problems, understanding context of your teammate thoughts is hard

Just people not understanding basic stuff. Headphones mean GTFO.

Hmm I wish I had some intuition when it comes to software architecture I guess. Being able to pick the right patterns and understanding what I'm doing.

Understanding git is like understanding JavaScript. You never really what might happen.

I thought programming would be as easy as understanding your girlfriend.... It's a lot harder...

"Non-technical" users must have some magic skill that goes beyond my understanding. How can anyone work with no-code page builders? I tried Wix, Webflow, Gutenberg, Elementor, Divi, and Semplice. Each one sucks in their way, but they have one thing in common: their UI behaves even more erratically than Microsoft Word.

Is there a "non-technical personal computer user" class where people learn that logic? How did they manage to hide their secret understanding from developers? Or what did I miss?

Almost everyone is using WordPress, and here I am, looking at the beautifull Ghost, not understanding others.

I have a basic understanding of C, I am looking for a series (of articles preferably) that walks you through the available libraries and the electrical engineering side of things.

Use to do backend stuff, today I spent most of the afternoon understanding and fixing a damn jade file. Fuck frontend, I really hate that stuff.
Sorry to all the frontend fellas here, I have nothing against you :P :)

Recipe for reverse engineering data structures / binary formats:

People behave so precious and try best to avoid working on other's code.
I'm naive to think that being "developer" entails reading and understanding other's code(a.k.a shit)

From a junior developer, "who's responsible for making sure I understand the context of the feature when we're looking at the story? Are you going to drive that?"

Um no. YOU are responsible for understanding the information I've pointed you to on multiple occasions. I'm not your mother.

guys i did a minor fuck up..... delayed the timeline of the project..... client will call in 6 hours .... i'm covering the damage ...but in meantime ..... what should i say to him when he calls ..?
"Sorry for the confusion" ?
"Thanks for understanding" ?

I swear that Netlify CMS is straight up magic. Finally something that is simple and unopinionated and just works out of the box. After understanding how it works I just plugged it into a hardcoded project and the hardest part was just copy-pasting the content.

Having a CTO who was a strong backend developer, has zero understanding of UI/ UX and frontend part of code is funny as hell, weird and scary at the same time.

It's impossibru: I'm doing RxJava + RxKotlin + RxAndroid and I'm understanding it.

Somewhat.

My tests pass, at least that's something. It's not yet doing completely what I want, but the hardest part is behind me. 🤩

my own code is confusing me so much that I can't even return what I want to return and been trying for hours

I'm going over stuff like a broken record and seems as though I'm not understanding it at all 🤷🏼‍♀️

I'm looking into GraphQL and so far so good, but I am finding it hard to implement business rules, for example:

1. Receive request with auth token
2. Know who the user is by extractin userId from token
3. fetch data related to that user only.

I was only able to make it allow or deny if there is a token or not lol

I'm not talking machine code level here, but purely from a personal development angel - how deep are you happy to go to understand the 'stack'? Is understanding the current top level framework enough?

“Attempting to debug Westworld is a similar act to understanding someone’s else undocumented code.”

Books, tutorials, documentation and reading/understanding code; whether it's mine or not.

It's high time people start understanding the difference between 0 and NULL. A zero is a numerical 0 and null is just .

"We are interpreters – not merely translators between sender and receiver. What we say and how we say it makes a difference. If we want to speak to people, we need to know their language. In order to design for understanding, we need to understand design." - Erik Spiekermann

Good friend, Jay. Helped level up my understanding over the years, JS patterns, using APIs, best practices, etc.

Also helped kill off anxiety about the community by proving we work together and share knowledge.

Many thanks and I hope everyone has a Jay in their life.

for my job I need to know,

Programming, C#, Optimization, Multithreading and Async code, Working certain tools, Reading difficult written code, Understanding, Physics, Networking, Rendering, Codeloops, Memory management, Profiling tools, Being able to make Jira tickets and read Jira tickets. Understanding source control branching, merging, push and pull. bug fixing.

And I write almost 1 line of code a week on average..

I'm a programmer.

When you're the only one in your team understanding git and knowing all the requirements: haven't programmed for weeks, just fixed branches and answered questions -.-

1. Microsoft shit on linux (Visual Studio, WPF and WPF like frameworks)
2. Non-tech people understanding my achievements
3. Dragon (Most likely to happen)

That moment when you realize that the annoying beeping sound I was hearing while dreaming was the sound of my server's UPS discharging itself because the power went out. I woke up to the electricity coming back not understanding what is happening 😂

Each day, I read the vast swath of ticket hell hole that is our JIRA.

I read tickets that are written by people with not just 0, but an undefined understanding of technology...

I read tickets that are technically impossible due to this 0 understanding...

And finally, I laugh in bitterness seeing the time estimates stack up to months and months worth of work for which the managers expect to be done in 2-3 weeks 😂

Around 1milion lines. Every class is a rabithole with endless depth of implements. Confusingly named classes without comments. 0 documentation. I do not see the chance of ever understanding what is actually going on. Have fun :D

Wish everyone could understand that it's not learning the programming language or the 'best practices' that makes you good it's understanding how things work together and how to mix them to create new things that do what you want is the real engineering

Have you interacted with other devs with same level of experience and wondering about the big skill gap between you and them?
Wondering if you are actually a walking genius for having a lot more knowledge/understanding or if they are just plainly dumb and lazy.

🤷‍♀️
