>>21995937>>21995949I cant give more than pretty surface level motivations or thoughts but
for me at least in uni while I do not remember a lot of things so for example if I had to take an exam in something right now I would probably fail
but I got these boxes or shelves in my head for how these things tend to be structured so that if I needed to sit down to figure it out I would not be completely lost
and I think that is the main idea with education/uni too - to prepare you for solving problems on your own
even if that does not mean taking one glance at it and pumping out a solution
those code puzzles or images like that are more often than not not immediately straightforward
it is pretty anecdotal but I do not see anything funny with that X-image and the code on the right
like it just looks like somebody trying to solve it with looping over the lines/characters and posting code of one such attempt
it is a pretty tricky and finicky approach to get right and good devs probably mess it up too
in any case it is nowhere near the level of those goofy 100-line if-towers so I do not think there is anything funny to "get"
those code puzzles are in a way pretty specialized kind of like solving sudoku where it comes with practice
but is not necessarily very applicable to real-world tasks
on that note if you feel like you have holes in your knowledge (most people feel that way I hope)
and if you have the energy it is pretty good to keep learning new things and keep your brain active
and if you can do that at work even better, like learning new things and connecting concepts
but I can see how if you do not have that opportunity at work and have low energy at the side it can be tricky to find the motivation
I guess what I was trying say at the end there is that learning does not necessarily end at the end of school/uni
