What's it like being able to code?

Do you walk around in everyday life seeing things that normies don't? For example, do you walk into a room and just see in code solutions to all the problems in the room, like some abstract HUD for life?

>Do you walk around in everyday life seeing things that normies don't?

Not unless you have some kind of severe mental retardation.

you're describing autism OP

/thread

I'm just a code monkey Pajeet.

yes

>when you realize learning code is just learning arbitrary rules made up by some dead guy

yes when we see a problem we usually imagine it in code and try to solve it with a code in our brains, just thinking. then we realize we're in the real world and go back into our parent's cellar

Yes, I'm still trying to find a solution to virginity.

yes, blonde hair, brunette.. I barely eve see code anymore.

>What's it like being able to code?
Ignore everyone else OP, Sup Forums cant code.

Its more like being Neo, from the Matrix. We can see everything in green binary numbers that look like japanese kanji, but its mainly jibberish. The code the creator or "architect" created is hard to read unless you know Japanese Binary, which is impossible since Japan no longer uses binary and moved to a BASE 3 number system (think n64) and since then that language has been long gone. What we see is the puzzles of the world that mexican intellectualls and burgers cant understand because we submerge ourselves in curry and naan. We see the world differently, where everything is a toilet just waiting to be shat on. And then we shit on it. We solve all problems with math. That's what its like to be a programmer. Shitty and somewhat logical, but its fucking impossible.

There are NO metaphors in this post.

You cease dreaming about pretty girls but instead pretty code

I'm pretty high but I think I fully understand what you mean, and I'm pretty sure I wouldn't understand if I was sober though

It's like they say, there are 10 types of people in this world, those who know how to code and those who don't. Just walking around I can see solutions to make most people's lives easier and better. For example, I was recently invited into a kitchen and the code was almost overwhelming, yet I could see the world as it would be on code. The steamer could talk to the rice cooker which in turn could talk to the food processor letting them all know when to heat up and to which temperature they should be at corresponding to the current temperature, mass, and moisture content of the ingredients allowing them never to overcook nor to sufficiently cool and create a pool of water that would prevent the wok from perfectly charring the gohan. The cupboard would talk to the table and the roboserver would bring the plates over while the table heats them to sufficient temperature (no need to be careful with hot plates), meanwhile the drinkmaster would have the glasses all ready to go for each guest according to their specific tastes with regards to choice of beverage, carbonation, N, P, K levels, desired sweeteners, bitters, sours, bubbles, hotglue, mini umbrellas, those little floating pantsu, temperature, melted ice content, etc. For dessert, a 3D printer would talk to the table, getting it chilled and layered with a fresh sheet of paper, then begin placing dollops of strategically placed sauces, poofs of carbon dioxide, and artfully broken sweets topped with delicate microgreenery and candied flowers. At completion, the guests will wonder how to even approach your dessert as the table exclaims WALA in most fanciful manner in the preferred language of each guest including braille and AMS. This is just a small sliver of the visions I was granted that second I entered the kitchen. Imagine if your dragon dildos had their own minds. It's kind of like that but even better.

Kill yourself, you worthless piece of shit.

its like having autism
it makes me want to arrange everything in order like I have ocd

>What's it like being able to code?
Nothing compared to being a physicist or mechanical engineer.

The life of a coder

...

Sometimes when I'm playing a game or using some app, I'll think of various ways to code things that are happening. Other than that, yeah, you're autistic.

no u faget

desu I'm probably a much better person than you.

>shitposts on Sup Forums
>better person

You're not even worthy of being called a person, shit stain.

i look at roblox like its a visualization of words in my brain

but thats about it
otherwise knowing lua is useless

i did use it to create a virtual version of g-code in roblox to make a virtual cnc machine once though

won a 50$ design contest for it
spent it on booze, wondering why i was playing roblox at 28 years old

kek

It's awful and you wish you'd spent your time learning something different.

Honestly, project management and people skills is what gets you anywhere in life

Who the fuck do you think you are? I know this is Sup Forums, but calm the fuck down. I'm not the guy you're trying to insult, but mate, that was totally uncalled for, wtf?

It sounds like you're the one that needs to calm down, samefag. Stay butthurt, get over it, or kill yourself. It doesn't matter to me what you do with your worthless and insignificant "life".

>$ + escort = no longer virgin

Have you tried sex?

Ayyyyyyy lmao

It's like being a normal person except you make a fuckton of money out of college and you recognize that computers aren't magic.

endless self hatred and depression because you never get compensated for your work.

>Do you walk around in everyday life seeing things that normies don't?

Yes. I am extremely aware of things that others are not aware of much. For example:

* It affects the way I talk. To take one little example (out of dozens), I say the zip code 90210 as "nine zero two one zero" instead of "nine oh two one oh" because to me, there is a huge difference between the letter O and the number zero, and it's abhorrent to me to confuse the two. I also am very careful to use words correctly (for example, I always use the words "literally" and "figuratively" correctly). Normies don't care much about these kinds of things.

* I instantly see flaws in processes that others don't. For example, if I have to fill out information at a doctor's office and I find that I have to provide the same data multiple times, my mind spins into overdrive analyzing the inefficiencies in the process, and how to design the system better. Or: If there are multiple copies of data, it's extremely important to me to understand which is the master and which are the copies. I have found that many normies don't have a clue how important that is, and don't seem to care. In general, normies don't engage in the kind of obsessive detailed analysis of data and its organization and presentation that I do.

* I have a vast preference for communicating in writing instead of in speaking, because data that's written down can be so much more precise, and precision is tremendously important to me. For example I hate having to tell someone my e-mail address -- I would vastly prefer to write it down for them. That's because my mind reels when contemplating all the mistakes that could occur when speaking it out loud. Normies don't seem to care much about that.

> do you walk into a room and just see in code solutions to all the problems in the room

No, I don't continually code in my head. What I do is continually analyze everything in my head.

>Do you walk around in everyday life seeing things that normies don't?
Yes, but only conceptually, not literally seeing (i.e. with my eyes) things that aren't there.
>For example, do you walk into a room and just see in code solutions to all the problems in the room, like some abstract HUD for life?
Fuck no you need to be on some strong shit for that, and I'm not big on substance abuse.

When I'm "seeing things that normies don't" it's more likely just an intuition for how processes or automated systems are structured. Particularly when some machine or computer-based process breaks down, I tend to have a half-decent guess why, and half of that half will come up with a workaround quicker than a so-called "normie". Some smart non-coders have this intuition as well, but it's just easier to acquire by programming for a significant amount of time.

> I also am very careful to use words correctly (for example, I always use the words "literally" and "figuratively" correctly).
>precision is tremendously important to me.
Fucking this. Other engineering disciplines get this as well, though, not just programmers. In a social situation I can adjust to context and deal with some flexibility in connotations, but when I'm in a work environment I am often in "knowledge gathering" mode, and ask very precisely-worded questions, and followup questions, to which I expect (and try to make clear that I expect) precise answers so as to not make a decision based on data that requires guesswork/interpretation.
>What I do is continually analyze everything in my head.
Yep, that too.

its like having your third eye open and seeing the matrix 24/7

You tend to take a different approach to problem solving than most people might, this is both a good and a bad thing. Good because when you can solve problems other can't you look and feel like god but alternatively, when you're a hammer everything looks like a nail. Especially relationships.

Its like liquid magic shooting out of your penis but instead of your penis its your hands

They based the movie The Matrix off me, really. It's embellished a slight bit, because the agents never actually gave me any trouble, I've always been this good.

For a while I saw the world in if/then statements, but it went away quickly.
when something takes a shit I tend to look at the error information even when its not my job. Not because I give a fuck, but just because Im curious what its going on about.

I do see how things are shit and easy and find it annoying that shit tier stuff costs so much to make.

>hurr cant store apps on your sd card, buy a bigger phone goy
I've ran entire operating systems off of both the exact same sd card, and off of shit tier usb2 flash drives with 5mbps write speed. fuck off with this "I cant do X" shit when I know damn well I can do it.

>mfw people are genuinely amused by lights reacting to a sensor

does that give you any sort of answer you were wanting?
