In the programming world, if you say as ‘ I prefer watching videos, than reading docs’ it means you are a programmer already or you won’t become a programmer.
Do you feel that you are struggling to be a good programmer, even after watching 100s of hours of videos? Let me share one secret. It is the fear of reading and writing PlainText. The more you go away from reading and writing, programming will go away from you. Programming is all about dealing with the code, error messages, log files, documentation. All in PlainText. We have emails, tickets, docs, reports to If you love terminal and PlainText tools, you are already into reading and writing. The more you read and write, the more you can get clarity in thinking, which is the essential part of programming. To embrace the simplicity and powers of PlainText, few friends started to discuss in IRC. yes, the same 40+ years old Internet Relay Chat, an chat system which built the internet itself via chat. Thanks to Indian Linux Users Group, Chennai, KanchiLUG, Kaniyam Foundation friends for joining the chat. write my post on why I like IRC here https://goinggnu.wordpress.com/2020/04/14/why-i-like-irc-internet-relay-chat-even-in-2020/ Here is small video in Tamil by my friend Muthuramalingam of Payilagam – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CGurYNb0BM8 >From today, 7-8 IST evenings, we can discuss at #kaniyam <https://goinggnu.wordpress.com/tag/kaniyam/> channel at irc.libera.chat I suggest a terminal based chat client “weechat” But, for a quick connection, use this link to join and discuss. https://web.libera.chat/gamja/#kaniyam Start Date – 21 Oct 2024 ( Monday to Friday ) Time – 7-8 pm IST server – irc.libera.chat channel – #kaniyam <https://goinggnu.wordpress.com/tag/kaniyam/> read the chat logs here – https://ircbot.comm-central.org:8080/kaniyam join and say something about you. - feel like a hacker by chatting with people in your linux terminal - get mentored on hactoberfest - ask any questions on linux/python/programming/devops - share your daily progress on learning and programming - practice reading and writing PlainText - learn slowly and strongly See you at IRC.
