Im a programmer for work and honestly feel the same. Everyone says I’m doing a good job but I feel like it takes me forever to understand a new code base. I can’t just read a program and understand it. I need to copy and paste bits and try copy a feature to get my head around it. Like if there’s a button on the GUI then I follow it right the way through creating my own button. But I don’t know if there’s a better way to learn than that

Terminal is too much effort. I just want a pc that works with out me needing to do what I already do at work

Amazon needs a bit more than bookshops to replace it. Need a whole shopping mall

Just a slightly different angle. The best managers and team builders are people that aren’t afraid to get people in with skills far out pacing their own. Maybe some one can program this task better than you but the company has trust in you to find those people and put them in the best environment to leaverage that skill. The best skill you can have is using other people’s skills together. No body wants a manager who can only program. They want a leader and some one who is knowledgeable in their peticular code base. A programming test shows they can program but doesn’t mean they’ll have the years of knowledge of your code base that you do
