Anyone else feel that way?
I have a huge amount of ability and knowledge of programming but sometimes I get confused the fuck about what to do with this and feel scared that I'm not making the best use of my ability. I'm already working for a shitty media company doing SQL shit (I'm not a SQL monkey, I've done Java and C# before) but its just to pay the bills.
Anyone else going through similar feels?

this is one of the top reasons why i want to be paid to write software. sadly, most people hire to write shitty things with shitty languages, in addition to passing over merit.
i have a steady stream of stuff to write on my own as a hikki neet and this seems as optimal as it will get in this culture.

Have you written anything yet? Or just procrastinate like me?
Yep and the feeling of improving and getting much better in a certain language/area, but time and the availability of opportunities related to it are not by much.
Its part of life, we can never have it our way. Best to get good as possible and find some other way to make use of the skills.

As I am unable to find a language that fits my needs I can't feel you
I was in love with c# but then switched to Loonix.
Now I'm shitting around in Python, but yeah, it's still only Python

Have you actually looked at what's out there recently?
Hell, some decent new languages have been shilled a lot on/g/, like rust, elixir and go.

This. I got so fucked up in trying to understand how singed and unsigned integer are save on computer than I am currently reading computer architecture books.

Hi memespouter, I think pol is that way

I work on C/C++ codes for my company. But I don't just want to do their job. So during free time or when someone is not looking at my screen I learn C from dept. Company just ask me to do "known" changes to some components of products which is just plain stupid job.
>>53464681
my current project is like 15kloc of C and it feels half done. i make 2 commits on average per day. it's been this way for half a year.

Simply start youre own business.

I didn't have any aspirations before I programmed, and learning programming didn't change that.
>>53464681
this man I was the same but now that I work 50+ hours a week nothing will ever get done again

I do neural nets and robotics as a hobby, its very fun and challenging. I do run-of-the-mill webdev for a living. Would be cool to have enough money to indulge in my hobbies 100% of the time.
Programming is just a means. Languages are copypasted & superficial. Its algorithms/math/hardware that matters most.

>rust: sjw
Run by Mozilla, of course its SJW-infested. It was supposed to replace C, but then some landwhale got offended by the word "he" and derailed the project.
>elixir: Literally what
A ruby-like language that runs on the Erlang/OTP runtime. Erlang/OTP is a remarkable piece of engineering, but it's pretty slow by most standards. On the other hand, you could nuke an Erlang/OTP instance from orbit and it would keep working tirelessly.
>golang: iirc sjw
Yes, they got CoC'd, but so far I know of no issues like the opal debacle in this particular space. I use Go frequently, and don't dislike it. Lots of interesting stuff coming out of the community, but almost everyone is some flavor of hipster

>It was supposed to replace C
can ppl just stop wasting time with this. there's a reason these projects attract sjws.
