'..but don't actually help you do it day-to-day'
Most of the time, but by understanding those core concepts, you're mind looks at programming and solving problems in a different way. Similar to math, you may never use a differential equation, but by understanding it, you look at the physical world and interpret it in a different way.
Not my intent to look down on anyone. My point is simply that software engineering is huge, you don't learn it in 2 months. Done traditionally or independently, my hats off to you. It's no easy task.
- notduncansmith 13y agoThat's very true. Usually keeping common sense stuff in mind like "I'm having to touch the database multiple times" or "I'm maintaining 2 arrays for this operation instead of one" and realizing that those are red flags, gets you there in almost every case. I agree that those things probably do expand your understanding and allow you to consider problems in different ways (which may help you solve certain types of problems more easily). I also agree with your main point: there are very few people in the world who are likely to be able to (accurately) describe themselves as software developers with <1 year of experience/learning.
