Message: [QUOTE="Strategist, post: 165977, member: 767"] Yeah, its kind of building an instinct for it from years of experience. Unfortunately, I grew up in a different era where education was less forward thinking and it was more rote and memorization. The projects kind of felt like being thrown into the deep end of the pool with no guidance. I figured out how to learn much later in my life, after I had given up on my computer science education. I had a bit of a naive view at the time, that I needed to figure out this stuff on my own and if others were able to do so and I couldn't it was a failure on my part. But now I realize that was an absurd mentality to have. I also needed to do more side projects to target my areas of difficulty because the projects at school were too basic, giving me a false sense of confidence. Until they weren't and I couldn't figure out anything because all I knew how to do was write inefficient messy code. [/QUOTE]
