Hey /g/, have any of you lost your desire in programming? I took

Wow OP so impressive, you sound like <literally everyone else>

>>60699821
95% of jobs are depressing, but you do them for the money. I fucking hate java but recently I started learning erlang and it made me interested in programming again.

OP is trolling. don't feed.

I'm not trolling actually believe it or not

This is what I'm thinking, I should continue on while it's early.

This is what happened to me, too. I don't know if it is worth pushing if you don't like it at all, even if there is a plenty of money and opportunities involved. I think I would burn out fairly quickly. I still wonder if I should go back, but I just don't find it interesting.

Here's my two cents mate:

I started programming because it gave me the ability to quickly produce ideas and build anything I wanted to, wherever I wanted to. As time has gone on, I've began liking "just programming" more and more, participating in competitive programming and whatnot. Now I do at times get bored of programming but it's never a problem because it's seriously just a tool to do the things you really want to do.

About your AP computer science class:
My first experience programming in a classroom setting was my first day of college. I had been programming a little before college, and like it a lot. So I went in for CS (still in college for CS). My first programming class was learning Java syntax and basic programming skills. Boring as fuck. Dry as fuck. I wanted to blow my brains out, and everyone around me was dropping the class out of utter boredom. But I stuck with it and really just focused on what I wanted to do. I pass CS classes with A's and I really don't care for the classes. They can be quite dry.

In summary:
My dude, think about why you program. Do you want to make things? Are you doing it for money? Are you doing it because you find it easy? Don't rely on school to guide you through life. I mean, in college you may take a class and find a new love for something and dedicate your life to it. But school didn't really did that. You did, because YOU took the class and YOU took the time to learn more and more about it and YOU decided you wanted to pursue whatever it was. Take some time and program on your own. Make a couple of things and if you don't like it, run for the fucking hills. Ditch that shit quick, because death is coming for all of us and you shouldn't waste your time here.

I took that class a couple years ago. We had a brand new teacher who couldn't code for shit, only wanted the extra shekles. We did shit in jgrasp, learned nothing. I still got a 5 on the test

Au contraire, I've just gained it now that I entered grad school. If the idea of programming depresses you, remember that CS covers a lot more than simply programming, so maybe you'll find something in CS that interests you regardless. Or, if all else fails, see if you like Computer Engineering, as that shifts the focus to hardware.
