Nostalgia for a Pre-Experienced Internet Era

Every developer has that one moment where they swear they’ll remember something forever.Some CLI command, some tricky bug they solved, some cool concept. Two days later: “bro what was that thing again???” That was my entire life. I’d learn something,...

I seriously can’t stand these junior developers who treat every tiny error like a national emergency. The moment something breaks, they sprint to a senior or drop a screenshot in the group chat without even reading the first line of the stack trace. ...

Why I Switched from Digital Planning to Using a Notebook

Hey Fellow Coding Wizards,
Whether you are about to embark on your coding journey or have already started. there is one question you have likely faced: Which language should I start with?Python? C? C++? Javascript? or Java? If you are feeling confused, don't worry - I was in the same boat when I began.
Choosing a programming language to start with can be subjective. Some will recommend Python for its simplicity, while others might suggest Java for its versatility. However, from my experience, I believe starting with the C language is a great choice.
C language is often considered the backbone of modern programming languages. Learning C helps you understand fundamental concepts like memory management, pointers, functions, data structures, etc. These are crucial for grasping more advanced languages later on.
Programs written in C language are highly portable. Once you master C language, you'll find it easier to pick up other languages since many modern languages borrow concepts and syntax from C language.
While C language doesn’t provide as many pre-written functions like python or javascript, the skills you develop from writing code yourself can be incredibly valuable. As you progress, you might find that this foundational knowledge enhances your ability to work with higher-level languages where you benefit from built-in libraries and functions. This also improve your problem-solving skills and make you a better programmer.
So, while Python and other languages have their own advantages, starting with C language offers a solid foundation for understanding programming at a deeper level.
Happy Coding !
