Programming is not fun and I see a lot of people who wants to learn programming but why not. It cool you can build you this and that bla bla bla These are the reason I said programming is not fun.

1 when you start learning, everything is fun, coding is fun then as you go deeper you start Taking a lot of things in to consideration e.g algorithms, architecture pattern, writing good code, then you start noticing there is so much more to just coding

2 it consume time, for most people it is not the engineering passion that leads to programming but the cash and career opportunities.

3 if you are a web dev it war to choose frameworks, as difficult as there are to master, they all have expiring data because in this field people are always innovating and trying build the next big thing

4 it is easy to know 8 language but difficult to master one

5 debugging is the very frustrating

6 programming is the implementation of computer science, being programmer does not always means you now what you doing it means you know a lot of syntax e.g there is this thing about time complexity because the algorithm works does not mean it is feasible

The solution to all of this is patience and active learning, for noob programmers, the excitement fades and the reality remains

The only reason why people pay 6 figure salary to programmers is because it is not fun

The reason for this article is because a lot of people want to cross to this field from another just because people say it is cool

For programmer there is infinity of things to learn

Bro you are right.
I rememeber calling my babe last night just to rant about how difficult I've been having it lately.
Damn it feels like I'm always far behind in my mind

True, programming is like a building that's very beautiful on the outside but not so fine inside

Word

I concur to this. I can tell you when I started Java some years back it was pretty fun but when I got deeper I got lost several times and found myself back. By the time I dive in Android programming I was still like what tha hell is this. But all in all Sha, we still dey manage dey build full fledged apps. Thanks to patience and perseverance!

I made close to a million through freelance web development last year.

The answer to your question is just one word networking .
They make money through their network.
Sometimes you must be ready to negotiate and give percentage to middlemen.

Just read and digest what I wrote there.

I got about 3 clients from this nairaland programming section last year.

Do you have a portfolio?

I will make one, does it have to hosted on a website or on GitHub; and the projects, should they be mentioned or should i give the potential visitor links to check it out

My advice: use the next 1-2yrs to build your portfolio.

That's why you're so bitter and frustrated. Nitwit.
Use 1-2 years to build portfolio. After staying hungry and receiving insults from your parents for eating their free food for years after learning your quack programming in the name of building portfolio, how won't you be bitter and disillusioned on NL and looking for people to tear down? SlowPOKE

Lol I set out very early.
I used my 4yrs in the university then. I did not make a dime, was just building stuffs.

Maybe you should look up on quora how long it will take to master your skills.
Also you can look up programing jobs requirements on job vacancies websites.

It is very happy to interact with people on a faceless forum. It is very happy people are replying to its post.

I only blame its foolish parents for refusing to do the right thing to it even when they had a handful of time to do so.

This thing is just lonely, the handwriting is on the wall.
It should go and meet its fellow comrades in the ashawo beer parlor thread asking for directions to the nearest brothel lmao

I don't understand why the mods can't ban IP address and get rid of this nuisance once and for all.

Frustrated serpent mention me I get your time.
We get money for ashawo and we get money for rent no be small thing. Why e dey pain u na your withered priick we take phuck olosho?
Living with parents indeed . I guess the three States I've moved to and established businesses, parents moved with me? This frustrated vulture really wishes everyone going into programming passes through his lake of despair and years of mummy thank you and 'Mr man when will you get a job and leave this house' ?

There. I fixed it for you to reflect your truth

I think it should get to a point where one of you should just take the higher road and quit this show of shame, or just take this your ranting to romance section..I believe the op did not anticipate this when he opened the thread.

Lol look at this old mumu above 25yrs but still classify himself among young people . Lmao
Oga, do you really think you still have time?
You are already old and still foolish. The earlier you realized the better.

Oga if you are above 20yrs and you are still a beginner in the IT industry you are already behind time!
Go and look up on quora.
The big boys in the industry today are those who started 10-15yrs ago.
Look at you, now you are already old but you are just setting out in life.
What were you doing all those years?
Roaming prostitutes brothels I guess. just like your foolish father.
I lie?


I started programming as a teenager in the university, utilized my 4yrs in school learning and building stuffs but your brain is too dull to understand what I wrote there.

Through observation I can deduce you did not graduate with anything better than a 2:2 (that's if you are even a graduate).
I lie?

If you are not a polytechnic drop out.
I lie?

Look at this mumu who has never traveled outside his state of origin forming on a faceless forum.
I lie?

Fuvcktard.
See this fvcktard who can't even approach real people because he is a lowlife.
Ashawo brothel is your home to perish like your miserable father.

Was it not the same reason(patronizing dirty prostitutes) your mother left your foolish father? And you are a product of broken home.
I lie?

I certainly was NOT referencing myself when I said young people. Were u not the shameless vulture trying to cajole someone else into your misery of 2 years building portfolio? Look at this goat talking about big boys in the industry. Foolish clueless connectionless clown who is still canvassing for business on NL looking for gullible young people on NL to psuedomentor into failure and hardships.
Won't even comment on the family stuff cos anyone with half a brain will know u are simply here projecting your reality and the reality you grew up around.
What a fvxking wimp of an excuse of a man. You're over there catching feelings over what another man does with his diick and his money.
Maybe u are homo? Get off my diick clown

Cakephp:

I understand your point but I have to put the simpleton where it belong.

The monkey eats and sleeps on the ashawo beer parlour thread in sexuality section constantly seeking for cheap brothels to meet his likes.
Who will want to have such a miserable dumbass in his team?

If care is not taken he might even be one disabled(physically challenged) sculpture living in an incompleted building but you'd never know since this is a faceless forum and data is cheap.

Who knows he might be facially disfigured, unattractive, tattered and unproductive which justifies the reason he eats and sleeps in a brothel to gain relevance cos no real person wants to hangout with it.

You only mind your business if its booming.
That alone tells me how you really doing.
I've told u man, if IT so frustrated you so much that u have no option but to slunk around NL sexiality section jerking off to stories of dudes spending their own hard earned money his they see fit and posing as some sort of pseudomentor to who ever you think is mentally vulnerable enough to be susceptible to your suggestions to put them in the same place of failure as you, then inbox me. I've got my fingers in upholstery. If you're willing to move to anambra state I'll fix u up with something. At least it will put something in your mouth other than my diick for once

Cakephp:

I understand why you are pained because I told someone the reality of life.

You were really shocked cos you thought programming is something you can just wake up in an uncompleted building and start claiming I am a programmer .

It really pained you cos you realized time is no longer on your side. At your age you are just a beginner, when your mates are already building their start-ups.

You abuse people who can feed your father and cater for your entire deserted family.

You do menial jobs(either bricklaying or carpentry) and then you use the proceeds to patronise brothels.
person!
Disease carrier.
I know you would rather die than go for HIV test cos you are already doomed.
fool.

This one that the only menial job u know is bricklaying and carpentry its like your father was a bricklayer? Don't worry u will follow suit cos when you're done making an embarrassment of your lineage, you will calm down and inbox me to fix u up with the upholstery job. At least it has a fancy name its an upgrade to what your father did
Look at this failed, frustrated he-goat talking about start ups. This fool still peddling stolen scripts on NL looking for clients is talking about people who build startups. Chai. Nairaland is indeed a blessing to some deluded imbeciiles

I have uploaded my pics over and over on my NL profile. Removed it when homosexuals like u kept PMing me. Get my dick out your mouth so u can put some food in fagggot. U hungry

Look at the mo.rons reply to you. A he-goat who calls himself a master programmer and owner of startups is on nairaland stalking faceless profiles, analyzing their posts. The he-goat closes his eyes to sleep at night and my name is all he sees. So obsessed is this he-goat that he begins to construct a physique for me. Of course he has a diseased and inferior mind so u can guess the kind of images such a mind is limited to.
He is intimidated. He suffers erectile dysfunction so he is bitter. How can someone with enough money and virility to straff girls to his hearts content also possess enough intelligence to grasp programming concepts much quicker than him with his addled brains?
No! Never! So he jumps on my diick like the homosexual loser he his. No sooner do I open a thread on NL than this fuddlebrained fvckwit jumps on it to spew garbage.
When he is online he thinks he is the big bully in the playground. The one to intimidate all the small kids because his perverse stepfather beats and molests him at home.
Cakephp mind your business loser. Oh that's right. Yours is failing and unpatronized so you only have a life when you mind mine
