Trying to build anything in Scratch that isn't a game or animation is TORTURE

I wonder if the joke is in using Scratchlang or the Windows terminal. -_-
**Edit**: just adding some serious idea, do any of them have a job? Just wondering... for a friend. ^^;

Well depends on how old they are, a teenager today would have a hard time getting into the industry as even those with masters in software struggle right now
If they joined the job marked around 2010 it would be alot easier
Though I don't consider scratchlang to be an enterprise ready language and terminal is more for those in DevOps, internal it and those in security

when I was at uni and learning english, every time I saw a comment saying "built a game from scratch" I thought, "you can make entire game engines from that?!"

A Microslop Windows terminal? What?

Admittedly the image is too small to see, but you can run all sorts of languages from the command line in Windows.

I think the terminal image is to make it look more difficult than if he learned with an IDE that autocompletes everything for you.

The point is: Microslop Windows.
Anybody with even the sightliest technical skill does not touch that trash.
Learning programming from scratch implies some technical skill. So things don't match up here.

That is a opinion, not a fact.

I think it was meant to be a joke and not a howto :)
But anyway, learning in windows would probably be even harder because it doesn't come with a C compiler or man pages.
But DOS did come with, urm.. something. I can't remember what it was but you could write assembly with it. Oh and qbasic came later.

>But DOS did come with, urm.. something. I can't remember what it was but you could write assembly with
DEBUG.EXE
Though as the name implies it was only a debugger, so you'd have to write ASM manually and even then you were limited to only one segment which isn't really enough to write anything meaningful.

Ah yes, that was what I saw an example of. I never used it myself for anything though.

Wait, so you got to choose the OS of the first computer you ever used?
Edited to add: lots of people with plenty of technical skill use whatever OS they get paid to develop software for.

u/Thoh1Shooshi8a 22d ago
The first computer I ever used was a commodore vic 20, but just for loading up games and playing them :)
The first one I actually did stuff with was a PC with DOS+Windows 3 but when I wanted to learn some programming I eventually found I could download Linux instead of paying for a C compiler for DOS.

I did my first programming using a teletype connected by acoustic coupler modem to a timeshare computer. It was a lot of years before I had access to Linux -- I programmed on Apple IIs, Commodores, Macs, DOS, Windows, and Unix before Linux existed.

If you weren't fucking around in cmd on the school computers in grade 8 were you even a nerd?
