i would like to call myself a legit coder, but i cannot. I know some programming in java, but i do struggle with many aspects, mainly the logic itself, i am not much of a problem solver which i would consider rather ironic, to further add irony to the situation, i have been “familiar” with java for close to 10 years yet admittidly i struggle at making a calculator with a GUI while trying to implement (or understand) the mvc, i guess though many of the issues i have is that i spend more time reading about programming than actually doing it, thusly almost 6+ years of education laying to waste.

Something is funny with this topic :

  • I’ve only participate to few Java 4K contests, with only one sourcecode available,
  • so I’ve proved nothing to JGO community,
  • but I still give my opinion on some topics !?!

Finally, I’m perhaps just a BS ? ??? ;D

To ask what it is to be a programmer is like what it is to ask what it is to be a gardener? How do you define a gardener? someone who cuts grass and hedges? someone who deals with the garden for cash as with programming someone who can write code? someone who writes scripts? or someone who gets paid and says they will do something?

Your latest 4k game has graphics among the best I’ve seen in a 4k game. You’re definitely an LC (Leet Coder :D)

Anyone can feel free to call themselves a coder, but whether other people will see you as that is just a matter of their personal opinion.

Um not really. A programmer writes programs as inferred by the title of said person.

The best of all wanna bees is the
“I love html PROGRAMMING, it’s such a great PROGRAMMING language. That’s why I am a html PROGRAMMER.
Java is ok, but programming html is awesome!” guy.
If you meet such a programmer you have 3 options:

  1. Say: “Yay that’s true and smile” (if you want to listen to his html PROGRAMMING stories)
  2. Change topic (recommended)
  3. Argue that html isn’t a programming language (not recommended, he hates you afterwards)

Indeed I wouldn’t say that I can programm but I am used to some parts of it :slight_smile:
