Sorry, but you're not gonna make it in society.

>>51727368
Land IT job.

Practice scripting and other crap with dumb tedius repetative tasks.

Gain expereince find programming jawbs.

throw yourself into programming situations where you're likely to fail.
become comfortable with failure and assume you're going to fail without help.
don't keep rewording your google searches, instead research the functions and types that you are using in the documentation and solve them yourself.

1) Codeacademy DOT com

2) Read a lot of programming books.

3) Start with Python as a first language.

4) Lurk /g/ for tips and advice (just don't be a faggot about it).

5) Literally google more

6) Literally youtube tutorial it

7) once you master programming, you can get some side shekels to your job doing bounties at GitHub and shit.

What part of bad self learner do you not understand. I need instruction from someone. Preferably another human being
>>
>>51727544
Oh, we have a special snowflake here.
How the fuck do you want to learn programming by yourself if you can't learn by yourself?
>>
>>51727544
Then take out loans and go to school, you probably won't succeed as a programmer, or at all in life, due to your clear lack of critical thinking skills, you immense fucking faggot.

Its just the way I am. I suck at learning things on my own and just learn better if I have an instructor of some kind. Aren't there any companies that hire people and send them to programming camps or whatever
>>
>>51727607
Omg is this bait?
>>
>>51727607
If you don't have money for college you're not going to have money to afford a bootcamp, and no one's going to hire you and send you to one either.
>>
>>51727607
There are 1-1 codeacademy teachers bruv
>>
>>51727628
I feel pretty trolled.
>>
>>51727607

You are assuming that once you have found someone to teach you to code that thats it.
It aint, what are you going to do on your first day at work? You will be expected to find stuff out for yourself.
>>
Just spread your legs/open your mouth for money and pay for college fucking faggot.
>>
>>51727607
>Aren't there any companies that hire people and send them to programming camps or whatever

The only time i've heard of this is if you've been an asset to a company and they see your work ethic and desire to be something greater.

Like, if you were in QA at a company, and told them that you wanted to go back to school to get your degree. Then could fund your college tuition (or a fraction of it, at least) if they see you as a worthy investment.
>>
If you're near a large university you may be able to just show up to courses of there's enough people taking them. Introductory programming courses tend to be pretty big.
Also check university financial aid office. They may know of resources that can help you

If you can't self learn then you can't learn programming. Programming is 90% self learning, even if you are at university (you just have more direction). It's actually really intellectually demanding, unless you're some web dev hick.

What's wrong with codecademy?
>>
>>51727837
Are they cute?
>>
>>51727368
You're going to have to develop skills in learning things on your own, if not with coding you will need it for most professional jobs. It's not like you absolutely cannot do it. You just choose not to learn on your own. The more you do it the better you become. I started out having an interest in making vidya games a few years back but I didn't know programming. I looked up guides and studied code until I hit goals that I made for myself. Find something that you really enjoy coding related, then start working on it.
>>
>>51727879
No nothing is wrong with it. I was the one who told him to do it.

He said that he needed live people to talk to, so I said
>codeacademy
because it had living people to talk to

Make your own OC, faggots. It's not that hard.

>>51727892
Just 2 guys (who looked pretty cute) I'm befriended with.
One of them had to couchsurf for a while. Pretty sure he was homeless for a couple of days before moving in with a friend of his.

but that is their oc, thats 8-tan

Started on 4chan tho?
Or was it all shitters from fagchan
>>
>>51727975
It's not OC, Vivian James is fully associated with 8ch, She has been for quite a while.
>>
>>51728067
She started on 4chan, all the gators moved to 8ch and made Vivian theirs and nobody was left on 4chan to want Vivian.

>>51728095
I like Vivian.

Take a look at Gawker and tell me objectivity is being displayed in anything they publish. They are literally Rajesh the paid shill half the time.

>>51727368
get a job and learn from that. teaching yourself when you don't have to is over-rated

>>51727927
Y...you too

You clearly don't understand what IT is or how many tasks in that field allow for automation.

pretend your a grill and suck my dick

and maybe MAYBE i'll mentor you

>too broke for college.
Nig do you even pell grant?

Some nigs don't even have the 2.0 GPA to get a Pell grant.
Just goes to show that some people don't deserve to go to college.

Money are near the only objective thing there is. So even if they are getting paid what's wrong with it? That's how everything works.

Not him but the main thing was that every outlet and dev was sucking eachother off and then they found proof of every outlet and dev sucking eachother off.

Games Journalism is fucking retarded though.
>>
>>51733247
I find "gaming journalism" to be a pretty hilarious concept. I guess they will squeeze as much cash as they can out of these autistic man children.
>>
Code academy sucks. If you want to actually learn there's some classes you can "enroll" in for cheap online and it gives you incentives to keep going cause you're paying for it....junior at a university here doing comp sci....it's dreadful.
>>
>>51727368
I would say then programming isnt for you
>>
If you can't figure out how to figure it out, you're fucked. Programming is not for you, because you are stupid and lazy. Either get motivated (search engines exist) or give up like I know you will.
