Working on big projects is difficult af.
The context width required for programming exceeds that of normal human beings. There is just A LOT of stuff to keep track of, it's not logic that's difficult that's the easy part.
- polishdude20 3y agoDo you have any methods for keeping track of all the context? I usually go for a flowchart app and flowchart all the things and systems in order to better understand what's happening. I find the act of writing the flowchart actually helps me more than having a completed one.
- coolThingsFirst 3y agoI use Joplin/Typora and text only and I play detective few hours before I even have a clue what on earth is even going on. We run like 7 or so docker containers and the code is undocumented. So it's basically like descending into those maze like underground tunnels. Keep in mind I'm juniorish so others may have much better ideas about this.
