    Is there already a blog called "The grumpy programmer"?
    If not, maybe we should start it.

    It would never work...the mods would delete every post for being too annoying...

    It may work, if we pretend to be cats?

      I do not believe "annoying" is the right word.
      Us old farts value our time ( we got grad-kids and "honey do this and honey do that " ) and when I ask "how much is one plus one "
      and get a lecture about binary system
      it gets to the point of limiting participation ( see the post about "why are less people here " ) .
      It seem that "educators" value "I do not know the answer, but I know where is a pile of rocks" approach.
      Another "annoying " approach seem to be norm - do not known how to fix it so let's buy a new one.

      If I could influence anybody - choosing software "development" as a life-time carrier - ( getting of subject ) - most of the "cool stuff" has been coded and some "learning curves" are no more then of ever increasing speed of "down spirals " .

        Just wanted to know
        When did you people start learning QT?
        I have started it 53 days ago
        please add your experience before learning QT.
        Before Qt I just thing that creating GUI projects are difficult but I found it easier than using graphics.h header file in c++

        Aren't you attracted by other easy frameworks (although they are not in c++) LIKE
        FLUTTER , REACT NATIVE , DELPHI, C++ BUILDER (not easy but alternative), Ionic etc.
        Nope, It is my first framework and before it i Just only know c,c++,data structure and creates project in the only
        I have published them in my Channel If you want to check my experience before you can see the project and identify me...

          When did you peoples started learning QT ?

          In uni, somewhere about 2007-2008. Physics is dry and tiring so I benefited from having a "safe place" (yes, it is sarcasm).
          At that point I had a significant understanding of C++ already, which made cruising through Qt a pleasure.

          Please mention your age when you started programming too. 😂😂

          10th grade or thereabouts - circa 2003.

          please add your experience before learning QT.

          A couple of projects or so, a few hobby/learning ones.

            Hi

            • When did you peoples started learning QT ?
              22 SEPT 2014
              Made an account and downloaded Qt.

            • Please mention your age when you started programming too. 😂😂
              around 14-15. i think its more than 30 years ago.

            • please add your experience before learning QT.

            a little asm, pure c, borland C++ in DOS. then OWL (borland framework)
            in Windows for workgroups.
            Then Delphi for 5 years win 95 and up
            c++ builder. ( i loved it)
            Tons of Visual basic until they ruined it with their "managed" shit.
            I use still something called Kylix which is c++ Builder for linux.
            Many different types of project. Much info system and desktop publishing
            systems.

            -- Aren't you attracted by other easy frameworks (although they are not in c++) LIKE
            -- FLUTTER , REACT NATIVE , DELPHI , C++ BUILDER (not easy but alternative) , Ionic etc.

            Well yes for the web generation. I tried FLUTTER and was so disappointed as its "state of the art"
            and dont even contain a wysiwyg editor and to top it off they used a new language called Dart.
            Like the world needed yet another one. Made some web services even it was not called that back then :)

            If I could not use Qt , i would use C++ builder. It's extremely rich and its data controls is the best i ever used.
            I also like Delphi but its pascal language feels strange now.

              I feel soo blessed to get reply from you guys.
              I thought you were like of 20-25 Oh ! man , You guys are almost two times of that 😁😁
              @JonB
              You guys have tons of experience So I can learn many many thing from you guys.
              Like coding style I am at my late teens So there is much to gooooo


              And it's always easy to go in path that you suggested So You all are very helpful.
              I use to ask questions in stack overflow but used to get bad comments instead of getting answer. Later found QT forum

              So Switched to QT

              Found it interesting. If there is mistake also here You would suggest me. And most important you guys are not rude.

              I learned about markdown today So did some stylings in the text 🤣🤣🤣🤣

              Let's make QT free or It will go forever

                My best advice is:
                "Don't be lazy, write clean consistent readable code."
                otherwise you're going to be setting yourself up for failure, or at the very least creating unnecessary trouble for yourself. Always keep in mind that code is read much more than it's written, and the guy that's going to read it most of the time is going to be you.

                I thought you were like of 20-25Oh ! man , You guys are almost two times of that 😁😁

                  @kshegunov
                  I actually got lesson on writing maintainable code by making one big project. But I am not sure the code is clean or not. It is learning process So I hope to be good at it.

                  very least creating unnecessary trouble for yourself.

                  Yes I got into huge trouble at some point while doing project 😂😂😃 Later got some advice. I am learning form this forum. Before I just used to code and ask question if I stuck in problem. I was just scrolling one day and I found many interesting new questions and much here. So now I am active most of the day in this forum. (not always seeing codes but just checking time to time)
                  Again We can learn from you guys

                  Let's make QT free or It will go forever

                    Terrible advice!
                    I wrote an entire app (functionality and gui) to manage a business function for my previous employer in a single class. The code is a mess and it is virtually unreadable.
                    I still get calls from time to time to fix bugs/implement new features for a fee.
                    Clean code = no money to be made 😝

                        @VRonin Out of subject , but as a curiosity question.
                        On your next job interview - did you show that "job security gem "to your prospective employer ?
                        (Did you get hired ?)
                        Yes, wast majority of code "for free" is written following your philosophy.
                        Including most Qt examples which is a bad advertisement for the company - my opinion.

                        I actually believe ( sarcasm) that there is an SECRET app to "remove all comments from MY code "- so it can be published !

I was given a task that was done by hand with high probability of human error, time waste and high cost of failure (it involved hedging financial risks), I automated it with an application that did everything by pressing a button. The company liked it and adopted it as a standard across the firm. Since then they hired a proper IT/dev department with 0 knowledge of C/C++ so they can't maintain the repo.
                          I still call it a success story for my employer that got a free IT upgrade.

                          Yes, wast majority of code "for free" is written following your philosophy.

                          This is objectively untrue and unfair to the plethora of high quality projects out there. Think: Linux, PostrgreSQL, Libre Office, Firefox, etc. (I could go on for days)

                          Including most Qt examples which is a bad advertisement for the company - my opinion.

                          If you are complaining about the Qt documentation/examples you have been spoiled. My experience is that "it's a jungle out there". Take boost for example, the most popular C++ library, docs and examples are "an adventure" to go through and I won't even start commenting on anything on MSDN

                            Many years ago I somehow received several books , published by Microsoft.
                            I honestly do not recall what it was al about (MFC ?) , but distinctly remember reading something to the effect " this function may or may not work..."
                            Since it was before paper recycling the whole set went to the landfill IMMEDIATELY.
                            However, I am against hijacking threads - so this will be my LAST off- topic contribution here.
                            ( I MAY start "to comment or not to comment " thread......)

                              I started learning Qt this year, like few months ago!, I'm currently 16 and started 'actual' coding last year(C++), currently with Qt I've worked with SQL, and been exposed to JavaScript, i wasn't really interested in Qt, i just started it to pass time while waiting to get a PC that can handle Unreal Engine for GameDev which was my reason for learning C++ in the first place but now Qt seems nice to me and not even sure if i should stick with it for now or somehow do both for now or start Unreal fully when i get the PC because i will hopefully be getting the new PC soon(just waiting on GPU), oh and i'm not interested in any other thing apart from GameDev and Qt/QtQuick at the moment

                                  @mzimmers well you have years of coding experience compared to my measly experience, i'm a bit confused tho if i should just put all these on hold and go into Data Structures and Algo and have a decent knowledge on them and then come back here because i dont want to depend on going to college for that because i don't have a lot of value for the education here(West Africa)

                                    because having knowledge on all these complex data structures and algorithm looks really nice to have

                                      Learned C++ .

                                      That seems interesting, So I learned HTML CSS
                                      Later learned Javascript

                                      Again I feel creating Desktop application would be great because There is nothing productive just with Plain C++ (not early)
                                      So learned QT
                                      In between these ,

                                      My two projects are going on, One WEBSITE
                                      AND another Desktop Application with QT

                                      Should I create new one or Is it ok to continue in this one?

                                      Let's make QT free or It will go forever

                                        My two projects are going on, One WEBSITE
                                        AND another Desktop Application with QT

                                        Should I create new one or Is it ok to continue in this one?

                                        @Thank-You I'm not sure I'm someone who should be giving advice, but here's some food for thought: in my 40 years in high technology, the challenge has always been building a bridge between technological potential (what the stuff can do) and the everyday user (what people want it to do). You can learn all the languages and computing techniques in the world, and it won't do you any good unless you can apply them to solving real-world problems in a manner that people will accept.

                                        This is why Macintosh succeeded; it was the "computer for the rest of us." 20 years later, it's why iOS succeeded; the iPad was the "computer for the rest of the rest of us." (I don't mean to sound like an Apple bigot, but for all his faults, Steve Jobs understood this like few others.)

                                        So, I guess what I'm saying is, it's not what you know; it's what you do with it.

                                          In this age, Most disgusting thing is Dilemma.
                                          Like there are many stacks and you see peoples using different things.

                                          You see Python popularity , You wanted to learn that
                                          Again About C++ , Oh! Great Speed I want to learn this
                                          Flutter, Oh! wow , mobile development. Easy way to attract peoples
                                          Javascript , Easy for web and most no. of peoples in it

                                          And more
                                          Like If I learn C++
                                          Then there are option
                                          WxWidgets
                                          QT
                                          and much more

                                          One person says
                                          "This is one very bad, See how this one is beautiful framework"
                                          Another says:
                                          "This is very easy. You can earn money easily"

                                          I am at late 18 now

                                          First I learned C++ because I didn't have that good computer to learn python using Good IDE. (now I know there are IDE that are lightweight too)
                                          Learned C++ .
                                          Again I saw peoples creating websites
                                          That seems interesting, So I learned HTML CSS
                                          Later learned Javascript

                                          Again I feel creating Desktop application would be great because There is nothing productive just with Plain C++ (not early)
                                          So learned QT
                                          In between these ,
                                          I learned MYSQL

                                          Later I thought NODEJS
                                          I will create fullstack Site with node js
                                          And more more on all

                                          Guys What suggestions would you give me guys???

                                          If your main focus is getting money, now - learn Go. It's a modern language, quite easy to get into and people get insane salaries if they know it well enough.

                                          But it will change. I don't know which language will be the next big thing. But I know that even niche languages and frameworks can get you a nice job and - very important in my opinion - happiness.

                                          Personally, I love using Qt (what a surprise, right?), I work in Qt and I do my private projects in it, too. So I have fun, do what I like and even get paid for it. And I'm pretty sure you can do the same if you settle on one language or framework. Does not matter what it is (except for some really weird languages like brainfuck ;)), what matters is that you get some fluency in it, do some private, hobby projects going - employers will value that a lot. Get involved, get active on user forums, mailing lists etc. - and the rest will come.

                                          On the other hand, I've also heard a lot of stories of people getting a programming job with zero experience and zero knowledge... that also happens.

                                          Like It is sooooooooooooooo bad that I haven't earned any money with 2.5 years of programming.

                                          What, why do you think it is a problem? I started seriously getting into programming and Qt 5 years before I got a first job. I never saw it as an issue. I was gathering experience, learning etc. the whole time. Still am. Relax! (well, unless your life situation forces you to find a job ASAP, then I can see a problem. But you can always find an "in the meantime" job in a shop or something and continue learning to code in the background).
