Index Gate: Ultimate Programmer X results

So this isn’t just for programmers or those who want to become one.
What other practical applications could it have in real life?
Some ideas of how else it can be put to use?

I’ve run a couple of loops so far of Indexgate ZP. I was showering this morning, thinking of a basic automation and how I can articulate it to the IT guys who are far more knowledgeable than me. I had a small simple diagram in my head of crons, daemons, scripting would be necessary to make it happen. Generally, I think it helps with programming planning, how to strategize the project.

Understanding technology and how to use it to your best advantage, for example. Learning how to use AI to make money. Understanding popular software suites like WordPress, allowing you to make websites, etc.

Hey, @SaintSovereign , what do u think of this idea? What do you use AI for? (a discussion, not a question) - #59 by oloy
I could help building it, i have some ideas about its UX and how prompts should be structured.
Looks like this sub is for me too then 
Is this good for if you’re trying to learn UX Design and UI software design??

Absolutely. UI/UX is a fundamental skillset for programming.

Then I’m getting it bruh
Pretty much completed my Python text adventure but hit a snag with indentation messing up an “elif” statement. But thanks to UP I am remaining calm and actively trying solutions to help resolve it
If I wasn’t on UP, I’d have probably got frustrated and rage quit by now lol

I’m learning I have to push through own understanding and ability to grasp as well

Visual Studio Code will help auto-indent the code. Can either do all of it or whatever is selected.

technically speaking, not really. the most of programmers can’t make UI/UX. But still IG:UPX must be helping with design, I guess.

I honestly don’t think UI/UX design is hard or a core focus.
I just naturally think in good design for software. I instantly understand how to make software platforms function easier for people.
I am an absolute dweeb for simple, modern, clean design in anything.

It’s a very useful skill to have. Inkscape and Pencil are two of the really great programs for doing this type of prototyping, along with ThinkComposer for somewhat more complicated flow diagrams. I used Inkscape while on IG: UPX to design my logo which I almost have a finalized version of now, took me all of two part days, probably not even 3 hours in total to go from zero knowledge of the program to finding the best tutorials on it and extracting the essence of how to use it.
Other thing I’ve been noticing in my initial days in setting up my business model is that I’m reading a lot more quality technical articles relevant to what I’m trying to design. Here’s one that may be appreciated by other software designers that goes into the rather… unique methods of polymorphism present in Rust.
I really like what it says about the dangers of over-engineering; coming originally from a background in systems programming back in the old days of Z80 microprocessors and the 80386, I appreciate performant code. A lot.
And i think IGX may be sending me on a journey of discovery to find that balance between performant vs maintainable/readable. A lot of the arguments for using OOPs for readability are more spurious than true; you should never sacrifice performance for the ability for lesser programmers to maintain your code, a good programmer will always be able to understand a large program given enough time to study the source.
