Software is the same as hardware. But easy to change.

They are the same, because both is simply "make electronics do what we want it to"

Most often that electronics is a PC.

So we can simplify to "Make PC do what we want it to"

If your PC does exactly what you want it to, then there is no need to work with software.

In other words:

We work with software to make things better

If you are not able to make things better because of restrictions then what you are doing is meaningless

Finding meaning in actions is what motivates humans

And the lack of meaning ( more specifically, the PERCEIVED lack of meaning ) causes burnout.

It is bad for your brain!

So make something better!

Make your GUI more colorful!

Make your tasks easier to overview!

Make the code easier to change!

Remove the frustrating things!

Make your life better!

This is hard. But it is worth it.

STOP USING LINKED LISTS

DATA ELEMENTS WERE NOT SUPPOSED TO BE GIVEN POINTERS

YEARS OF COMPUTER SCIENCE yet NO REAL-WORLD USE FOUND for using anything other than Vec

Want to add and remove elements from the front and back just for a laugh? We have a tool for that: It's called "VecDeq"

"It might take a long time to look at any element but I'll make it up with all the merges, inserts, and splits I'll be doing" - Statements dreamed up by the utterly Deranged

LOOK at what Functional Programmers have been demanding your Respect for all this time, with all the LISP machines & tape readers we built for them (This is REAL Computer Science, done by REAL Computer Scientists)

"Hello I would like element.next.next.next.next.next.next.next.next please"

@hezalife I wanted to make a post about this because my answer was longer than what I could put in a reply comment! The comment was about this post I made about the project ideas I have saved in my notes app on my phone!

Okay to answer the question, I get a bunch of ideas from literally everywhere. Here are some of the ways I come up with ideas:

Hobbies/interests I have and think of a way to make a web app/program/web page out of it. E.g. I like playing Minecraft, Pokemon, Stardew Valley, The Sims etc so I would thing of ideas around those games and create a programming project out of it.

Get the stereotypical “beginners” project ideas and expand on that. Calculator? How do I make it better, more advanced! To-do list? Don’t like basic, add more and more features to it. Text-based RPG console game? Make it more complex. Stuff like that.

Same with the other point above but add a theme to it. Hello Kitty version (my go-to theme since I started programming…)

I follow people on GitHub and Twitter that share their projects and I think of something similar or get inspiration from them and think “Okay, how do I make myself and better?” Sometimes not even better but how would I tackle that project myself.

What would make my life a little bit easier - I made TumblrTextTint generate the code needed for formatting colours in text for me. I coded it and I use it. Don’t care if someone in the past did it already, I sat down and coded my own one. It’s all experience and a good feeling in the end~!

Since I’m all for experimenting and gaining experience with programming, I also follow some tutorials on YouTube and from that’s programming blogs online. I don’t like following the instructions exactly, I like to add my own twist!

Get stuck? Use those online generators to give you a prompt on a theme or a whole idea for a next project.

I have a blog and I like to add pages and changes to the theme a bit so I make a whole ass project out of it. “Build a navigation page”, “Build an About Me page” etc.

Things I use a lot and create a project idea from it e.g. I have a lot of Tumblr-related project ideas because I use Tumblr a lot. Find something you use and do a lot and create an idea from it to work on.

This site has python 101 for free (and many another, tho course from 102 and up aren’t free)

Its has a cute design and great at explaining the small details that some teachers don’t explain ✨

There is also many exercises in each chapter of the lessons.

You can check more about it from there official site ✨

so, professor A is my mentor. i like him a lot, and he was the main person that taught me the most abotu Eris and ArcGIS. professor B is a professor i had one for class, and shes nice and knows a lot of little tricks about Eris programming but mostly relies on arcMAP because shes the raster data professor.
