I have tried for 20 years to get into coding, and among adhd and having 10 million other projects going on, just could never get it beyond absolute basics and knowing some differences between languages.

Now it seems every tutorial I see is really just clicking around in a gui. Very little actual typing of code, which is the part I actually find cool and interesting.

So my question is, since everyone on lemmy is a programmer, what do you guys actually do? Is it copying and pasting tons of code? Is it fixing small bugs in Java for a website like “the drop down field isn’t loading properly on this form”?

I just dont get what “a full stack developer sufficient in sql and python” actually does. Also i dont know if that sentence even made sense!

    I’m a data analyst, not so much a developer, but in my work I write SQL, DAX, and M code. My job involves sales people telling me what metrics they think they want, delivering those metrics, then being told to make different metrics because the ones I delivered didn’t play into their narrative 🙃

      Are you looking for a job? We’re hiring a data analyst and an architect I think. And sales can get fucked, we have an Analytics department supporting client success, with teams presenting ROI reports to clients and/or analyzing incoming data for variance etc. We need solid people, with real experience.
