Yeah, OO really only works if you actually properly follow OO design patterns, and if what you're building is suited to it. The software I'm working on is OO and it works well 90% of the time, but there are some places where... odd choices were made, mostly in the direction of going a little too...

I wouldn't say I have a favourite myself. Technically speaking I've used C the most because that was the "core" language at my university, but it's been 2 years since I've used it so I've probably lost my proficiency. I feel like I haven't really used enough languages for long enough to really...

Yeah, personally I feel like trying to keep "relevant" is something that's unachievable. The game changes so fast and there is just so much out there that you're never going to know it all (plus, maybe its different with web dev, but there's plenty of legacy software out there that needs...

Good luck with finding that first job! I feel like it's a foot-in-the-door kind of situation with your first: just have to get something and then you can use that as a stepping stone for the next thing. My one hard-and-fast rule was that I was absolutely not going to work for a start-up lol...

Shotgun approach on Indeed basically xD Created my resume, made a saved search with all the criteria for the kind of job I wanted, downloaded the app to my phone, and then I'd apply to anywhere that had the "quick apply" or whatever it's called during my lunch/coffee breaks at the job I had at...

I mean, I got my first/current job within 2 weeks of when I started applying to jobs, but that was just before inflation really got going and big companies started doing mass layoffs lol (although my company hasn't really been affected at all, still gaining new business and needing to hire new...

I don't have any specific goals right now. I'm not hugely ambitious to be honest, my only real goal is to have a job that I enjoy and that supports the kind of life I want to live. I'd like to just work on something that's more interesting, either because the programming itself is more...

No projects for me other than school assignments xD I've never gotten more than a couple hundred lines into a personal project, and haven't done anything at all on personal projects since I've started working lol not really motivated to do even more programming after spending 8 hours doing it at...

I'm still here! Been quite a while xD Since the last time I posted, I've finished my software engineering degree (the final year and a half during the pandemic), and am now working as a fullstack developer for a small company that produces operations management software. It's not the most...

Totally understandable! I think what you did accomplish was pretty cool, and I'm glad you learned from it. Do you have a website or something where you post (or will post) your own original games? I'd love to see what you can come up with!

I know I had plans to do a bunch of monotype runs, back when I was a kid and Pokemon was at peak popularity and I was still full of the hope that one day my parents would get me a Gameboy and I'd get to play it (spoiler alert: that never happened). Since every gym leader had a monotype team, it...

Sort of? There are so many pokemon to choose from I have a hard time building a team from scratch lol (and if I pick as I go then I'll end up heavily biased towards early encounters), so I use a random generator to build my team (though I keep tweaking/re-rolling until all necessary HM's are...

Well, I'm definitely not going to get this done by the end of the event (darn school, getting in the way of everything! lol) but I plan on finishing anyway with whatever curses I've got at the end of the event I pick a green berry and move to room 19 Curses: Gym 3: Team:

You can turn the welcome tabs off... I've never had problems with lag in Atom (though if you had to use it on school computers... well, I always have a problem with lag on school computers no matter what software I'm using lol)

Yay finally had time to get the second gym done! I will choose a blue berry and move to room 10 Also a quick note: you have me down as playing Renegade Platinum but I'm actually playing Emerald Curses: Gym 2: Team:
