Hey/g/ please help me.
Is it possible to get a job as a programmer if i am too retarded to learn algorithms?
I know syntax of python and java but i can't really solve any simple problems. The best i did was a rock paper scissors game with a shitty writen code.
Pls /g/, what do?
yes its called web development

You mean front-end or back-end?
Or it doesn't matter?
Every organization under the sun needs a literal army of monkeys to do basic "connect to a database, push/pull this array of data, report results" bullshit which a child can do, you can easily get medium-low ranked $60k - $80k jobs doing that shit for the rest of your life no problem.

How does one even get such position?

Get a bachelor's in CS from anywhere, be young, don't have a wife / kids, live in a big city, pad your resume with some bullshit but make sure to suggest this is your first "real" corporate office 9-5, you'll get snapped up in no time. Companies prefer to hire naive kids they can intimidate into working 14 hour days for garbage pay, and don't care about your qualifications at all (it's monkey work). Obviously it won't work at top-tier places like Google or Raytheon.

2nd on this. My path so far and I'm 22 with 60k.. trust me OP if I can do it so can you.

If you have a vagina or are some random colour of the racial rainbow, you should be able to suss a paid internship at Google.
There's a huge demand for codemonkeys.
People that can throw incredibly simple shit together for standard in-office software with the occasional script to automate some things.
But if you can't into discrete calculus or algorithms, then don't do Computer Science. Software Engineering is for you.

How can you not understand algorithms? It's just logic. That's it.

I'm 22 and got offered 45k. I have a CS and math minor and am potentially like OP. What is your secret? I'm 99.9% sure going to decline 45k offer because being a software engineer for 45k isn't worth to me (based on the distance I have to travel and terms I have to agree with, not to mention 45k is just below industry standards period). I'm trying to find 60k to start ideally.

So wait, are you telling me that you want people to pay you to just arrange widgets in a designer?

if your IQ is on pair with monkeys you should be fine with front-end.
>can I get a programming job without programming skills?
This is how stoopid u sound op
Don't listen to /g/ OP. You aren't going to algorithm until you hit the work force for a couple of years. Until they you will be doing minor bug fixes and other shit work.
Memorize all the algorithms they teach you in uni. Don't have to know how they work, but be able to recite them and calculate big O notation. Same with data structures. Mark some time on your calendar to go back after a couple of months. This field is about passion and practice rather than just being good at it the first time.

>discrete calculus
what does this mean more precisely?
