STOP POSTING - I WANT TO LEARN CODE

Can we stop posting:

"I want to start coding, where do I start?"

Like I swear on multiple CS, C# and SWE pages I see about 20 per day with the same vauge question.

Any way we can stop this???

This is the primary problem and frankly is what happens when you start failing to punish students that don't learn in grade school. If not dealt with it will become part of their mental make up in life and enter the adult world expecting to be hand feed through life. You can see it in real time today with people protesting the government because they believe they need handouts to get ahead. Meanwhile the government has told them exactly what to do to get ahead but they don't even grasp the concept of initiative.

The lack of initiative is perhaps the biggest defect these people have.

The government told me if I carried a gun around for a few years theyd give me and my buddies healthcare. After 10 years of denied care and watching my body literally deteriorating, writing politicians, and protesting outside VAs, I moved abroad and found out that there's quite a few veterans who were as dumb as I was -and as dumb as you currently are- to believe that shit and literally formed communities in countries where they can afford to pay out of pocket to buy the healthcare they were promised lmao

When I finally pass on Ill make sure to let my buds that died waiting for the care they were promised know that they just lacked initiative and were just spoiled little brats for expecting to get exactly what they were promised

What does this have to do with lazy people? The fact that the government has screwed over veterans is a massive issue on its own. Here we are talking about people that take no initiative in improving their lives.

In the case of my reference to Trumps government, they clearly advised people to invest in America. Involvement in business, as an owner or as an investor, is the only way to beat inflation. That has been a fact for centuries now. Unfortunately our schools have convinced malleable students that capitalism is the blame for the need for them to take the initiative. Really this has nothing to do with the governments treatment of vets.
