So i guess this is the perfect subliminal for software developers and data/cloud engineers?

I can confirm now that using Index Gate: UPX, I’ve managed to go from knowing no Rust or Vulkan, to having a working Vulkan renderpass that does color blending and depth buffering.
Other than trivial tweaks to the code to get it to render to screen rather than as picture in picture, it’s 100% working. Now, like I said a few posts back, the experience of most people who go from knowing no 3D graphics APIs to trying to learn Vulkan find themselves lost due to the complexity of the spec. The guy I mentioned called it a painful process of trial and error. I am currently two months in to my business, wasted a couple of weeks due to recon on other subs and personal circumstances, but still come out with a solid understanding of the API at the end of two months. And I could have reached this level of knowledge a lot sooner if I had been a bit more focused with my daily work and wasn’t dealing with trying hard to keep a regular schedule, and being delayed thanks to the massive levels of distractions online lately.
I would say that’s pretty solid evidence that it’s helped. Bear in mind that IG is not the only sub I’ve been running (KB has been strong in there along with Paragon regularly and periods of WB, GLMC and scattered other subs). It’s not a focused stack, but there are enough repetitions in there of IG that I feel it when it kicks in. So others that have a more focused stack might have an even better outcome.

I am more than eager to run this after I’m done with my mission stacked.
I have this project running, coastal reform program involving corals, mangroves, and sea weeds. I build up a Unity design concept where we grow those three components at sea and a virtual interface is available for students at the campus to interact. Maybe I got overwhelm with the sensors, or whatever I got stuck, but I won’t rush this - this can wait till I run UPX.

I’m a coder myself, university computer engineer. For beginners that feel like giving up, just know it takes a while to get the hang of coding. It’s like a different way of thinking. But one day it will click. You’re not stupid!
I remember this douche bag teacher at university during a demo exam for our intro course to coding (you present your program and code). He literally said to this one girl “Darling, have you even picked the right education?”. Of course she quit 2 months later and went to be a nurse. Which is messed up because she was so smart in math, a course I failed 3 times, but he discouraged her. Plus our intro course was C. Which is probably one of the most unforgiving languages to code in.
Keep going, it’s worth it. I personally did a book called Learn Python The Hard Way before university to learn some coding.
(Not saying health care is for stupid people. But she picked this education for a reason. The industry needs more women. And this guy discouraged her.)

I find myself thinking in whatever language I’m working with. Lately it’s a lot of PHP.
I know of a problem, and I’ll start thinking algorithmically. As far as “seeing” PHP in my mind’s eye and then try to imagine I’m a computer running the code…tweaking as it goes.
It’s fun.

That’s awesome. Yes, I love getting these visions and then trying to make the PC understand what I want and make the vision a reality. Dealing with the limits is the language, the tech etc along the way. And once that programs run, it’s so satisfying.

I have a custom 2 core Stark and Indexgate.
The manifestations are really powerful.
I am in a cushy tech role on over 100K euros a year.
It was a long, hard journey. There were times when i wanted to jump ship but hung in there.
The resilence and focus to never giveup is strong.

The sales page mentions networking. I found this on Reddit
Ran this today. Made myself slow down a bit and re read some instructional material. Starting to understand a language I was worried I wouldn’t be able to figure out.
Further along than I have ever been

Congrats on your success - well done.
Does the Stark/Index Gate combo make you obsessive when working towards a goal?

James, really happy to hear that. I don’t comment much on your posts but I do follow them closely. Keep pushing man - you seem closer to hitting your goals than ever before.

Have both in a custom in QTKS, yes it does in regards to tech if you like the tech. Was solving a complex AI implementation into the cloud and i took a whole 12 hours to solve it without realizing 12 hours have passed because I was so into resolving the problem but on the other hand if you don’t like the tech or what your doing it will be a lot harder to finish.

yes. speaking from experience with IG.

Tired of feeling like I suck and will never figure this all out or get a good job
That’s why I asked about imposter syndrome

Don’t let it stop you. I have a degree, and been working as a developer for 3 years still feel imposter syndrome. Hoping to deal with it if it’s possible this year, but just saying it’s pretty common in tech.
