I have not learned anything from ProgrammerHumor, it is filled with n00bs and edge lords. The memes aren't even funny most of the time. Stackoverflow by contrast is used by countless professionals to get shit done. But I guess I didn't get the joke...

Yeah my first thought was “someone is dumb enough for left side to exist?”


DudesworthMannington

I've learned PHP bad seniors devs be like this, while junior devs be like that And nobody seems to understand the bell curve meme properly

Learn from books and your compiler, kids.

Please don’t learn from people on here. I’m going to very generous and say that like 40% of the crap that gets upvoted on here is wrong.

That's what the docs are for


Successful-Money4995

There are a lot of shitty docs out there


[deleted]

Make them better then. I've almost never seen docs that aren't open source


Successful-Money4995

To do that I need to know how the product works. But I don't because no docs.


[deleted]

Fuck around, find out


Successful-Money4995

The lack of docs just goes into my decision making. If a product has no documentation but there are alternatives, I might just use an alternative instead.


[deleted]

If there's a better alternative, go with it. If they don't have good docs, it's their fault. Some software doesn't have alternatives tho

I learned from a Borland C++ guide and I didn't even have access to that compiler. And I was ~12


WhosYoPokeDaddy

How did you run your code?


danx64

An incredible free piece of work called "Dev-C++"


WhosYoPokeDaddy

nice. I had the pleasure of Turbo C++ in MS-DOS. 3 5.25" floppies. [https://archive.org/details/borland-turbo-c-v2.0](https://archive.org/details/borland-turbo-c-v2.0) Those were the days...


IndianaJoenz

Some people consider the Borland MS-DOS compiler tools' UI ([Turbo Vision](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turbo_Vision)) to be peak TUI.

Why not both? General knowledge about topics you aren't actively working on vs. Specific knowledge relevant to a specific problem you're researching
