Hey /b/. I've been learning programming for a little while, but I feel like I would be so lost without the help of others. A lot of other programmers have such a vast amount of knowledge, and I could never see myself getting there. Advice?
git gud
also imposter syndrome is common
all programmers are googling shit
Just suggestion if you ever pick up or already picked up C++
Learn to use std::unique_ptr and std::shared_ptr if you havent already
The best way to get better is invest yourself into a project that interests you. Most undergraduate classes will have you basic projects using outdated approaches. I would recommend try programming in C for a bit and pick up a language that seems interesting to you. Also, most programmers are typically specialized in the language and development environment they work in. There are not very many "good" cookie cutter programmers out there.
Don't go into old languages, where work consists mainly of fixing some old bullshit. Besides, learn some tools: git (+github/+bitbucket), ci (i.e. travis) and focus on testing so you won't go into spaghetti cooker mode

Not sure what that would be as of yet, but i'll search for some inspiration. :P

This. Once you have a base knowledge of a language, you can literally google [LANGUAGE] [PROBLEM] and code anything. I regularly have 2 or 3 tabs open for reference whenever I'm coding.
It's almost a problem for me. I just stopped remembering things that aren't related to what I'm immediately working on.

Happens a lot when I go from C# to C++, yeah.
