i hate this so much. I wish someone had told my retarded ass to learn C++ really well because that's where all the money and good jobs are, now that I'm nearly 30 years old and have sunk like 10 years into C# there's no chance of me ever learning C++ to the same level or depth while still trying to have a good career.
Did anyone else fall for this scam and never learned C++? Is it over for us?
It's not that different, anon.
This, OP is just lazy to look through C++ books.
Also this lmao
At this speed of development, one might just play casino games
Kek, are you retarded?
all the fun stuff in the programming world is done in C or C++, just thinking about reinventing the wheel for the billionth time in the form of yet another corporate java + spring(or node these days) middleware that expose a restful api to a react-based frontend and communicare with a postgresql database through flavor of the month ORM, all of this behind some load-balancer makes me incredibly sad, I honestly feel pity for these people given how absolutely brain-numbing it must be.
the very same people who come here at night and make thread about Chad reinventing hashmap in C in order to cope with their sorry lives, it's very sad.
I've been a C and C++ dev for nearly a decade, I've written some libs, some terminal utilities, bigass qt software, daemons, some linux modules, some dns stuf, gps driver and userspace software, I've played with big nvidia servers and some tiny nxp cards with custom host boards, played with frequencies and more.
it's forever changing, never a year goes by that I work with the same tools, on the same technologies, I read RFCs, whitepapers and some obscure doc under nda translated from chinese with google trad, I set gpio pin at 1 and see what happen and again, many more that I do not remember.
I truly don't understand webscripters, they work on the same boring surface-level shit all year long, never learning anything worthwhile, doing the very same job as 80% of the drones who graduated at the same time as them...
I can diagnose so many things in my day-to-day life just because I've read about bluetooth, rfid and more, I doubt it's the same for them as website are inherently virtual and live inside some kind of sandbox called web browsers
>all the fun stuff in the programming world is done in C or C++
Depends on what you define as "fun".
I wish this was me so bad. I do a lot of backend stuff for web applications and I find it really hard to be honest, there's so much shit going on, but at the same time I wish I could do shit like you.
How do I do it anon?
lmao u are a tard that never worked in the real world. C++ shit is reinvented at every single govt and defense job in the name of "security" and "auditability".
Learn Go next to fuel your next shitty thread with a withered wojak jpg
What’s your definition of a good job? Learning with c++ than switching to a managed language is always superior to the opposite, though. They dumbed down comp sci majors to increase numbers and “diversify”.
is this how it is in the US? In Greece we take 2 C semesters, (1 OOP, on mine is ceples) and different programming paradigms and languages later, like R (because of math class, don't count it if you want) Haskell, Python, Prolog, etc. + version control.
>All over them
He meant cobol anon, fault is on you for misunderstading
I don't understand why any non pajeets would want to use java over c++
this
getting paid to write C or C++ all the time is my ideal job
Best book to learn C++?
So, you went to college with naivete of a child, trusting everything everyone says, especially a jobless bureaucratic academics that never seen real job during their tenure..... and now you curse "the world"?
fuck off
just learn c++, I came from 10 years of windows IT support l, learnt c++ by reading the primer and got my job as a developer in finance. then I was hired for bmw writing Linux code for their cars, learnt a shitload there and my LinkedIn is flooded by recruiters every day. I don't even have a degree.
C# is just c++ with training wheels
What "good" jobs are in C++, retard?
C++ is only a thing in the embedded, systems and gamedev scene, none of which is known for their quality jobs.
C++ is absolute cancerous to work with.
Even in they payed you a 100% more for working with C++ it would be a bad deal.
Have fun writing crud applications for the rest of your life, wagie.
It's also in every FAGMAN codebase (even Apple), finance, a lot of blockchain
This. C++ is only used in embedded like he said, or for various academic/HPC stuff where you need an advanced degree in some hard science or whatever like physics to do. And none of those jobs are high paid.
Interesting, fun, etc.? Sure. But low paid and harder to get in to.
Just stick with enterprise trash and webshit if you actually want a job with decent pay.
