The idea is they pump out programmers like it's nobodies business and their country has basically no standards of education. People there that didn't even go past elementary school still manage to program C++ just fine

I find it odd that people in western countries say they can't do sciences like comp sci because they aren't smart. Math is a universal language which is why people in the west are being overtaken by immigrants. You're being hindered by social biases of what constitutes intelligence making you think sciences are harder than they really are.
We of course have horrible education systems that propagate those lies, which is why immigrants with barely any english speaking capabilities still surpass westerners in math and sciences, which are of course "universal languages" since math requires basically no language skills, but in western countries we tie everything to language which creates a false sense of an insurmountable barrier in education. That's why universities here force sciences students to undergo lots of english and arts classes because they believe it helps create a better scientist whereas the pajeet over in india that knows basic english just sits there and codes all day, gets actual programming experience for their resume, then destroys all the westerners with years of programming experience while everyone in the west just learnt grammar and the philosophy as to why we vilify vaginas.

Psychology already has proven there is no such thing as "gifted individuals." Statistically it all comes down to repetition and the gifted ones are barely above average and overall what makes them gifted is that they unknowingly train more anyway.

No, that's ridiculous. There's a reason why literally nobody believes you can teach a dog calculus even if you spend an entire year doing nothing but working with him on it. Or to use a human to human comparison, there's a reason why the world isn't filled with billions of Olympic athletes and it's not just that the ones who win gold medals practiced more. I'm sure you'll find a very strong correlation between extreme amounts of time invested in a task and extreme mastery of that task, but you don't know the direction of that relationship is time spent ---> mastery. You'd expect people who are exceptionally good at a task to spend lots of time doing it since people generally enjoy spending their time doing things they're good at. Which would be a case of mastery --> time spent.

Anyway, I guarantee you I can bring you several people who you'd never succeed at teaching how to program even if you had a year to try and your life depended on them learning it from you. Programming is the closest thing we have to an abstract thinking equivalent to professional athletics. Most people aren't even comfortable with small amounts of abstract thought, and high quality programming of nontrivial scope requires building elaborate multilayered sandcastles of abstraction that have no physical form you can ground yourself with or check yourself against (there's technically the physical form of the computer and the different physical things it does in carrying out your code, but the whole point of programming is to separate the programmer from the physical things the computer does and to instead have them work with the language they're coding in).

I basically grew up as a major hick, didn't even goto HS, and I've taught myself more than most get in a shitty undergrad CS program.
passion an effort or all that's required.

Agreeing with this person. I'm legit awful at math more complex than what a 10th grader does and I write crummy AI for a living. You don't need math until you get into the really cool stuff. Most programmers barely use anything complex.

What's the complex stuff? Math/comp sci double major here. Finished all the math stuff, and now I just have a year of comp electives to grind out.

None of it is actually that hard/abstract, compared to the more esoteric parts of algebra/analysis/topology etc. it's pleb tier.
>>
>>6360237
When you get down to it Computer Science is a branch of mathematics which studies the nature process i.e. change over time and how to find the shortest "path" from state A to state B. Computers really have nothing to do with it. You don't need to do more than a bit of this in your career as an ordinary programmer. The wizards at the very top are solving fundamentally different questions than you (when I say you I mean "pleb programmer").
>>
>>6358632
>Statistically it all comes down to repetition
This is why your entire argument is retarded. To become proficient at something you must have interest in it, not just because it's easy. Programming is popular in India. Your average Westerner isn't so interested.

Basically this comes down to the main reason why I can't really learn how to program, despite trying a bunch of times. I did really well in math in school, even up to the highest (offered) level of calculus in college, but I have basically no practical interest in it, aside from messing around with numbers when I'm bored because math class is boring, particularly when the teacher was talking about anything other than theory.

Programming seems like the tedious boring parts of math (ie. statistics) mixed with technical/analytic writing (that is the kind of writing that made me stop writing).

Moreso it seems absurdly repetitive and honestly anything that repetitive just sounds like busy work to me. Sure it accomplishes something eventually, but usually that thing is going to be something ridiculously banal like "searches server for connections and determines processes which display data" or something like that. I cant engage myself with that. That being said I havent had much luck engaging myself with anything, as of late.

>>
>>6362592

>>
>>6362611
Statistics is why I didnt go further in math. It is literally the most boring and painful thing I could possibly imagine. If each person has their own individual hell I imagine mine is being forced to do statistics while an IV pumps testosterone into my veins and hornets crawl all over me.

I don't have any advice but you should do it because being poor and homeless is shit. At least you could end of with a skill.

was engaged to a very very well to do and well educated guy

long story short i tech left him for some trans girl with BPD

got a great gf now though. and i talk to all 3 (except for the first girl, she usually only talks to me any more if shes super drunk or high on something. makes me sad, she lives far away now and i cant help her. she claims she left cause im too good for her)

Should i feel bad im always the none working one in the relationship the other buys everything for
>>
>>6363506
wait, I happen to have an ex that is a trans girl that gets drunk and high and lives far away and dumped me saying it was cause I was too good for her. I also am sad I cant help her. Are we in the same boat anon, or do we have the same ex?

No, you should feel bad because you threw away your chance at an easy life with that guy with a bright future. Why do people do this?

>too dumb to learn how to program

You're just going to let Pajeet beat you like that? Git gud.

>>6363186
the real benefit of purely functional languages is the small semantic gap between intention and implementation.
PFP is really ideal for research. further, dependently typed languages like agda allow us to actually construct proofs. even Haskell's inconsistent type system puts modern OO/imperative languages to shame.
>>
>>6358698
>No, that's ridiculous
No it's not, it's a proven theory in psychology.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Expert
>>
>>6365459

Neither that wikipedia article nor any scholarly article you can find will ever claim an idea is "proven." And more specific to the argument you're trying to make, if anyone could be made into a programmer with practice then national governments around the world would be forcing children to practice from an early age since a country full of programmers would generate significantly more technology and money than the countries in existence today which universally have only a minority of citizens who are programmers.
