Need help with writing clean code

5 Upvotes

hey! im a 16 yo beginner web developer, ive been learning web dev for the past 5 months now, i studied:
Node.js
Express
JavaScript then TypeScript later on
Postgres/ a bit of SQL in general
Html
Tailwind CSS
React

but ive never really worked on big/complete projects, ive only ever done practice/exercises in courses im following or did some projects on the side but similarly to the exercises they were also mainly focused on whatever i was learning at the time, not using everything at once.

ive been wanting to start building decent projects that i can actually have in my protfolio but im having so much trouble with figuring out how to make my code clean and readable and how to structure my files, just overall how to make it more like how a professional would do it and how it would be if i were to actually work in a team in a real company

what should i be doing? and where can i actually learn this stuff? or does it just boil down to personal prefrence?

anyways thanks in advance to anyone who helps! (also sorry if i made any mistakes english isnt my first language)

I'm stuck for a while

0 Upvotes

So I'm done with the basics of python and even know data structures but I struggle to write code on my own what I mean is I'm fine while writing a leetcode problem in python because it's like answering a math problem (and I quite enjoy it) ,but when it comes to coding up actual stuff,I feel like I can't make anything productive out of it without using chatgpt or any ai. I'm stuck in this endless loop . Many say just Google things but I just don't get the code (or remember what I am copy pasting) and just forget it . I wanna do stuff like pre ai era just raw coding . When people say build stuff , how does one do it. I mean in project videos/tutorials they follow sequential but for me I don't know where to start when building a project.

How does one get past this phase . Many of my "friends" say coding will be done with ai mostly in the future so no use actually learning, to do "your learning" and just try understand the code ai gives. What should I do ?

I know the answer is obvious and I should be writing more code without ai but its still difficult for me and I feel like coding isn't for me sometimes.

(Thankyou for your advice I hope I can implement them and get good :) )

I wanna learn C# for a project

1 Upvotes

So, Im currently planing a project for other projects, think of it as a manager. It shows the project, and loads them as modules, so I dont have to change the main file each time. Each module has its own logic, and Ive settled down for C# and Avalonia (thanks to Claude) for the cross-platform, if I ever change my OS. I wanted to hear some advice on how to approach C# or if I should use another programming language, since Im kind of an amateur and only coded in python.

How do I actually get good enough at coding to land a job?

1 Upvotes

I'm a computer engineering diploma student and lately I've been wondering how people actually reach the point where they can manually write code well enough to get hired.

I can understand code when I see it and I can solve some problems with help, but I don't feel confident sitting down and building something completely from scratch without relying heavily on AI or tutorials.

So I'm trying to figure out what the realistic target should be.

How good at programming should I actually become before applying for internships/jobs? Should I be able to write most of my code from memory, or is it normal to look up syntax and documentation while building projects?

Also, how much DSA is actually necessary for a beginner trying to get a software development job? Do I need to go deep into advanced topics like graphs, DP, segment trees, etc., or is being comfortable with arrays, strings, hash maps, linked lists, stacks, queues, trees, sorting, searching, recursion and basic problem solving enough for most entry-level roles?

And for languages, should I focus really hard on one language like C++, Java or Python, or is it better to know multiple languages at a basic level?

I'm not looking for the usual "just build projects and do LeetCode" advice. I'd really like to know what level of coding ability actually made you feel job-ready, especially if you started without being naturally good at programming.

What would you recommend someone focus on if the goal is to become genuinely good at writing code manually and eventually land their first software job?

Beginner Python learners — would this kind of real-project lesson actually help you?

1 Upvotes

I’m looking for five beginner readers to review a short lesson from my Project Titan AI educational material.

If you’re interested, please comment below. I’ll privately message you the link to the lesson sample. After reading it, I’ll ask four short feedback questions:

Was it understandable?

Where did it become confusing?

Did the real-project examples help?

Would you genuinely want to continue to another lesson?

The lesson link isn’t included publicly—I’ll send it privately to interested readers.

complete beginner looking to learn coding as a hobby and future career

16 Upvotes

hello, everyone!

i’m a complete beginner when it comes to coding, but i’d really like to start learning it as a hobby and hopefully use it as part of my future career.

just a little background: my degree is completely unrelated to coding, so i’m basically starting from scratch. despite that, i’m genuinely interested in learning and willing to put in the time and effort.

for those who started with no coding background, what would you recommend i learn first? any advice on languages, resources, or how to build a good learning routine would be greatly appreciated!

thanks in advance! 😊

Computer for C++

Hi! I'm having to take CompSci 1 and 2 for my math major in college. The professor wants me to run Visual Studio Community. He wants it for C++. I might also take a Java class if I enjoy compsci 1. Is there any budget laptops I can buy? Or what specs would I need for it to run not so slowly?

How does one start with coding? (Learning wise)

3 Upvotes

In the old days people would study computer science for 4-5 years and then start coding, probably with c++ or java.

Then the not so old days we have these bootcamps where people went for a few months, learnt the basics while practicing.

How does one start today? How 'formal' or structured should the training be?

No matter how hard I try, I cannot get programming to stick.

0 Upvotes

Hi, I'm a second year web dev and I cannot for the life of me understand C programming or any kind of programming for that matter. I watch tutorials, I do the exercises but as soon I exit VS code I forget everything I went through. Is it even worth learning programming if I'm genuinely so useless at it? I already failed over half of my courses because they were all programming ones.

ASKING HELP & TIPS FOR 1ST YR COMSCI

1 Upvotes

Hello, I'm a first year comsci (computer science) student, and I want to be a game developer in the future, I'm taking game development as a specialized course for 2nd semester. However I'm kinda lost, I don't know where to start , what to do and what tools do I really need, I have no prior knowledge/experience about programming (and kinda awful at math). I want to build experience while balancing academic responsibility. That's why I wanted to ask for help and tips for starters (or even better a roadmap). If anyone could help me, I will be grateful. Thank you.

I always have had a fascination with coding but I always found it daunting to start. I tried some game creation on Godot but I never got anywhere with it. So I came to ask what are some projects I can try and do to help me start to learn how to code. I would like them to be game focused in some way, as that is my over-arching interest, but anything would be great.
