Thanks, for the motivation. But I ment it like I don't have time because of school. I have exams due in a week and I have to study 10+ topics in grammar, literature and history. For a week I'm like a zombie.
Wake up at noon, hate life, study bullshit, hate life w/ a numb brain, play some games caz I can't anymore, it's 4am so let's sleep.
I'd like a job for the summer, and I should be working on contacts, or something I can show to my employer, not on literature.
In what grade are you? If you aren't college/university level, this is fucking bullshit
I downloaded a pdf to search for the british equivalent. closest thing is further education, "work-based" college, but I'm not at the part-time-work part yet.
School system is so fucked can't even translate it. Best I could get out of online translators is "technical college". But the whole point is, that it's not a college, idk.
I get what you are saying, we have something similar here. But even then, the workload was never as big as it was for college/university.
Good luck
I get that, went through it myself and i've known plenty of people in that case.
What got me into programming is learning c++ to make games. I started the summer after high school when i didn't have any work left.
But my programming skills became useful for my job though. If it's not for you I get you would rather look for a job.
Good luck with your work my friend.
Thanks, my A plan is to get thru this hell. I'd only like a summer job. Still, I feel like I should be able to show something up. I started AoC 2023 back in december, day 13 bricked me, and I haven't gotten a 2nd wind yet, and time is running out.
If I can ask for advice.. I heard with leetcode (I'm not doing it, just heard) that if I don't know the solution for something in 30 minutes, I should look it up. Does this apply to AoC? As I remember spending 8 hours on these puzzles and feeling awesome when I finally came up with a solution that worked. But I've gave day 13 two afternoons and I still can't figure it out. I have ideas, but it'll take like a week to code and test all of them, chances are they won't even work. I know that two half days since december isn't very dedicated, but I don't know where tf did these 3 months go, I actually can't remember what happened in jan-feb lol.
Well i've never really done AoC or test alike myself. So i don't know the difficulty or amount of time you should spend.
To me if you have ideas but just not elegant ones, you could always do them. Despite being wrong or ugly they'll still teach you something, especially if they're complex.
But if the idea gets too hard to do, to time consuming for your little time, or if you're really stuck, you can look at the solution.
Just remember that a solution isn't a great way to learn, at best it will teach you what you need to learn more about.
