I'm a 27 year old NEET living with my parents. I don't have any marketable skills. I've got anger issues, which has led me to getting fired from most of my jobs and almost landed me in prison.

I think it'd be a good idea to learn to work from home. I can't bring myself to learn to code though. I like practicing spoken languages like Russian because doing so can help me get laid, but it doesn't make me any money.

I tried setting up a Mac emulator on my laptop so that I could code for iOS, but I couldn't get the emulator working, and I don't feel like trying again. If I'm already lacking motivation, does that mean coding isn't for me or should I just push through?

>> No.24916784

buy adderall or get a prescription for it. you can get 6 years of good hard focus out of adderall before it starts ruining your life. use that time to learn coding/develop a skillset that will set you up for life.

If you can't motivate yourself to learn then you're almost guaranteed to fail at trying to get comfy work from home job

Consider adderal if you have ADHD. If you don't have ADHD then just stop being a bitch and power through it. That's what everyone else does.

Idk if it's common in other countries, but in mu country you can get a 1 or 2 year "degree" (not really a degree) in coding. Something like that might help you stay motivated and it will make it easier to get your first job. After you have your first job things get a lot easier from there.

I started learning a few years ago when I was 22 and now at 25 in my 2nd year of uni I got a remote internship, I wouldn’t have gotten the internship if it wasn’t for being in uni as it’s obvious to me now that EVERYONE is doing the “lern to code” path and unless you are actually gifted and can do some crazy programming shit you won’t get looked at by companies when compared to a 21 year old with a degree. If you think about it logically, you are 27 neet with no relevant degree looking at coding for the first time giving up straight away because the beginning steps are slightly tedious - not a successful mindset at all or someone worth hiring.

It is entirely possible you can succeed though but you need to fix that mentality. Learning coding feels like banging your head against the wall for ages until it clicks and your brain rewires itself to look for solutions in the correct logical steps using the toolkit you develop. It’s hard to get the Boulder rolling but when you do keep pushing and learning and you will get there.
I’ll tell you a motivation technique I have been using effectively - there are tonnes of annoying trannies in programming who I guarantee you will encounter in the future ( I have already had to deal with 3 of the fuckers ), now imagine you have a deluded tranny colleague who is better at coding than you and this allows them to talk down to you, take your promotions, boss you around, etc. I personally wouldn’t be able to handle that kind of bullshit so IM STRIKING FIRST getting as good and educated as possible so I can curbstomp their attempts to take control of my reality. The tran programmer is a motivated adversary and we need to combat them effectively.

mate if you lack the fucking desire to even finish your setup to start trying to code, then yes, it's not for you. besides, why would go from zero straight to trying to code for ios? just start simple with making webpages and then trying to learn javascript.
if you are trying to code for the sake of learning a job and you don't actually want to learn to code, DON'T bother. you will only depress yourself and if you somehow manage to land a job, it will ultimately be a waste of everyone's time after you get sacked in your probation period.

yeah, people will tell you that math is important but they're lying, whats important is logic. eg. x & y therefore z. you need to be able to think in terms of logical states. most software is not complicated in mathematical terms, and almost no devs are doing mathematical work. some fields like data science or computer graphics do need math though. but consider how much of applications / websites are 'CRUD'. extremely simple logical functions

also i always sucked at math and just am bad at it, even after doing computer science i struggled with algebra and avoided calculus entirely, but i was able to grasp logic with some ease. if you have high verbal intelligence you should be fine

Fuck! Imagine the shame of being 27 and still having your ass wiped by your mommy.

How about you take care of this first before you start talking about learning yourself how to code. Do something about your anger issues and get a retard job. You save up some money and get your own place. Maybe then you can start thinking about being all self reliant. Trying to learn how to code from your mom's basement won't get you anywhere.
