Couldn't agree more, plus sites like Tildes that followed this path of elitism couldn't grow their user base even after 5 years. They still have the same user activity of Mainchan just after 5 months, and guess what, they actually started aggregating content from other sites.
Nothing happened it's up and running, but they used to be aggressive towards what they called low quality content. Now most of the site content is articles.
> For example I work as a factory worker and despite the fact that I have been doing this job for over a year now I constantly make the same mistakes. I still screw up tasks that I have done hundreds of times.
Man, people make mistakes all the time that doesn't make you stupid at all, it makes you a human.
> I simply couldn't code this simple program. The assistant even tried to help me but I still couldn't do it in over an hour. And it's not like I have never programmed before that since I learned some Python in high school. I ended up dropping out of college during the second semester.
Ok, despite what some YouTubers want you to believe, computer science is actually hard, it's in fact extremely hard. Learning some python in high school isn't much. If you are into programming, though, you can still study without college, although I recommend getting back to college if you can.
The most important thing in programming is being persistent. just pick whatever path you want to start in and see the best language for this path and start coding, do real projects don't waste much time watching tutorials or reading computer science theories.
If you want my advice, I would say since you already know some python, maybe create a simple web server. if you don't know how than you can watch a tutorial first, then try to make it on your own, if you still can't make it than watch the tutorial again, and try again. Persistence is key, try again and again and again. Then move on to a more complex project and so on.
One final thing, No you aren't stupid, actually if you were you wouldn't know. You just need persistence and a clear path to follow. if you did the above, don't forget to share what you build, even if it's a program that prints hello world. I love seeing what other people can build.
To each his own the good thing about cli apps that they're way faster to work with than gui apps and they use less resources, just try cmus and see how much faster it's compared to gui music players especially if you have a big music library.
> In college you mostly get taught computer science theory so what is the point of going back to college if you recommend against spending time reading about cs theory? I'm not trying to be provocative here I just want to know why you think that way.
Because it significantly improves your chances of getting hired, at least that's the case where I live.
I pronounce it GIF, but it's wrong according to the creator of gif format
Upon accepting the award at the ceremony, Wilhite displayed a five-word slide that simply read, in all caps: "It's pronounced 'jif' not 'gif'". Here, jif refers to the soft g pronunciation.[2] Following the speech, Wilhite told The New York Times: "The Oxford English Dictionary accepts both pronunciations. They are wrong.

I don't know why, but the title made me chuckle.
The title is just badly written, feels like it was written by a 5-year-old.
What makes you think you're stupid?

> Sometimes I am forced to use nano.
I hate nano, I always find vim to be easier and have a cleaner TUI
> GUI apps are better

RIP rarbg, you will be missed.
Yes, he is.
I don't think there should be a level 2 founder, you can make a new title called early bird or something like that.
