Well, I'm not really the truly blind here, I used to do some BASIC back in the eighties. Just introductory level shit, though. I'm talking a course taken over a summer for "gifted" kids, not even an actual full on course at a serious level. And I wasn't very good at it lol
But, I still have no clue what modern languages are like, or how they're used professionally. I've always assumed, you guys are busy entering lines of code, then compiling and testing, then punching things because you have to go back and fuck ~~up~~ with the code again.
I figure there may be ways to streamline the coding itself, maybe chunks of prefab that can be copy/pasted, or whatever.
Other than that, I suppose there's lots of coffee, coke and/or meth, and a lot of waifu pillows.
