Pick a language. Get a compiler or interpreter. Get a better editor. Play with it till you understand it some and can make your computer do some really stupid easy shit. Pick a project, something easy. Smash your head against the wall googling how to do shit for weeks. Finally get it to work. Nirvanna. Pick something else to do. Square one. Repeat until your beard/leg hair is longer than your head hair. You are now ascendant. Use excess hair to harness wind patterns and defy the illusion of gravity. Pass through sky directly into the heavens above. Tell god his OS and language choices are shit in person.

Definitely will take this into consideration

>How does one get into a field that requires critical thinking? Spoon-feed me plox! :3

Get a good textbook, do ALL the exercises, and then refuse to be intimidated when things stubbornly refuse to work with only the vaguest of impenetrable hints as to why,

I know it feels like I want you to spoon feed me but could you recommend me one? Maybe a text book you used?

>critical thinking
Holy hell, it's been a long time since I've heard that phrase... so, you're... 15? 16?

I'm a great fan of http://greenteapress.com/wp/think-python/ . Conveniently, it's free.

And now I'm off to bed, so good luck.

Thank you anon!!

Quite possibly older than you, actually.

Critical thinking is a term which applies to many programming problems which arise because of the programmer, because you're required to be critical of your own work in order to fix it.

implying that using basic logic makes you feel entitled to something more when in fact ur living in a profession of low skilled people

Programming is not a core part of my profession, and I don't know what you're referring to when you mention entitlement.

You have to read every textbook here:
http://4chan-science.wikia.com/wiki/Computer_Science_and_Engineering

And then you're a beginner programmer

Fuzzkin glorious. Underrated post

>Programming is not a core part of my profession
of-course it isn't when you're underage

>"Don't agree with me?! Underage!!"
I won't assume you're underage yourself, because that attitude where you still feel self-conscious about how fellow adults perceive you is fairly typical in early adulthood.

At a certain point in your mid-20s, you stop giving a shit though.
