Time to put the stereotype to the test.. MTF programmers, ASSEMBLE!

>>7755912
I'm good with computahs.
Also I can have a relatively normal professional life while on perma boy mode and no one will ask me why I dress like an autistic boy with a hoodie even when it's hot as hell.

Try doing that working on a sales department instead.

I was good at math in school and not an idiot at programming.

I really suck at it though, and I wish I chose something else to do but now I feel stuck due to trannyjobs.

Also know:
C, python, shell, maple, autoit

AGP: C, C++, Java

Python. Simple, yet elegant. Powerful, yet flexible. I like Ruby, too. I have a soft spot for dynamically typed scripting languages.

Other languages that I'm fluent in are C, C++, PHP, Java, JavaScript, x86 and MIPS assembly, Bash, Lisp, and Perl.

>>7755974
8 years professionally. Worked as a webdev and systems engineer

I have impostor syndrome, but I am a the slowest programmer at my job. Stuff other people can do in 30 normally takes me 2hrs or so sometimes. It's discouraging and I wish I worked in a field less technical so I wouldn't feel like the metrics are against me.

>>7756005

lmao

>>7756021
Considering I grew up in the Silicon Valley and graduated from a top tier CS program, I'm most certainly fluent.

>>7756011
At least you can get the job done! I'm really slow too. Maybe you just work with amazing people?

>>7756034
>still using the word fluent to describe knowledge of a programming language

your list of languages you're "fluent" in reeks of a recent uni grad who's listing every language they touched while doing schoolwork

I see it time and time again with babby programmers. they list a long list of every language they've ever used, even if it was just for half a semeseter in a 200 level CS course.

Do I have to have studied CS to get a decent software job? I have a degree but it's not in CS, though I've done a lot of self taught programming before.

Calm down ladies.

>>7756078
>Expecting anything else from programmers

>>7756075
no, but if its not an Engineering degree than its not gonna help you much.

Unless its in a language and you work translating software or something.

>>7756059
Sure, I won't claim I'm an expert or even close. I say fluent in that I can easily write a decent program without external instruction, relying entirely on preexisting libraries or creating them from scratch.

>>7756075
Not necessarily. Just make sure your portfolio is strong, and that you understand essential concepts (data structures and algorithms being the most important). Will it be easier with a degree? Of course. It'll be much easier. But it's not the end of the world if you don't have one.

For what it's worth, I was able to get internships and part-time work during high school as well as during college. See if you can start somewhere small. One thing that'll help is making a personal website to list your accomplishments.

Hi everyone!

I want to ask something... Like, i always had average math scores. I struggle with logic and i fucking suck at algebra and equations... My grades at other things we're the highest but i really suck at maths.

I was thinking about following the computing path. But i'm thinking mostly about the personal stats: Being comfy in my home/workplace, a nice payment for a single person, working with computers.

The problem is, even if i really love computers, this passion is superficial, i never tried to bury deep inside programming and things like that.

Should i try the Information Systems (IS) university? Is there any IT areas focused on hardware or human interaction?

>I'm 18 and mtf

>>7756167
Do you like programming at all? If so, it's worth looking into for sure. Math is going to be a problem; I was really bad at it, which made college a struggle for me. But the good news is that you won't see nearly as much math in the industry.

>Is there any IT areas focused on hardware or human interaction?
Yes, most companies have those positions. They're decently well paying even without a degree. You do need to get certified, I believe, but it's not that bad from what I hear.

>>7756167
Disliking math is less of a problem than disliking logic desu

>>7756167
It cant hurt to take a class or two and try it out.
Worst case scenario itll fulfill credit requirements

>>7755972
Haskell is for cis gay guys, not trannies.

>>7756075
Yes but you have to take estrogen and wear stockings.

>>7756167
>Is there any IT areas focused on hardware or human interaction?

By human interaction do you mean like desktop support?

You'll want to kill yourself after a few years of that

Only really picked it up in university. Never took it as a hobby before. Lucky shot since I ended up being decently good at it and got really into computers in general.

C is probably my favorite but I use Python the most since it's just easy.

>>7755912
You got this shit fucking backwards, you tool!

I became trans *because* I was destined for programming.

But I cured myself! From the programming thing, I'm still kind of in the process of curing myself from transsexualism.

RISC-V assembly for the memes, CPP for seriousness

>RISC-V
what do you think of lowRISC? i thought it sounded neat, but i'm too dumb for low level stuff.

>>7759375
Dunno, haven't acquired the thing (it's out of my price range for what it is, and then I have arduinos and esp for 5% the price). Probably would've got one if it was 50% cheaper.
It can do C afaik.
I started writing a emulator for the supervisor level ISA, to mess with on esp8266, but gave up ages ago due to feeling like shit, which a bit more recently ended with me 'discovering' I am trannysexual lol.

He actually killed himself because he thought he would be stupid as a female, pretty funny.

What do fellow trannies?

>>7759244
I would assume "Lisp" by itself refers to Common Lisp, since it's the only mainstream Lisp dialect these days that actually has "Lisp" in the name.

>Why did you pick up programming?
I was good with computers, also my dad didn't let me pick an artist career
>When did you start?
I can't remember, when I was 13-14 I used to make shitty games with ActionScript.
Anyways, at 18 I started formally learning
>What's your favorite language?
C++, I guess
Brainfuck it's pretty funny tho.

As a kid I was not into computers, i was more artist, used to draw and craft stuff a lot, very creative. My family never care about but that was never a problem to me. When mom died when I was 11 all the creativity turned off, tried to come back a few times but the lack of support just lead to depression. When I wanted to study digital animation my dad and sister refuse to, so here I'm.

I'm just 19yo so I still have time to leave programming, but it's fine, it's fun at least.
