I comment on nearly every single line of work, it does help, but without reviewing past work, I can hardyindividually recognise and remember anything.

I started out with learning C++, i don't regret it, but it was definitely one of the hardest i've learn, funny how i smashed out and started on the hard one, probably why Ipickup languages so easily now, even though I forget it after my busy schedule.

I would love to be able to practice on the daily, but with the knowledge of so many languages, it proves difficult. Especially with my busy lifestyle at the moment. I think maybe i should give up on some languages...

I would reverse engineer things of the same language and then build them in a much more simple manner. Nothing too bad, but small things like java made save editors and stuff like that. After doing so many, I realize its easier to reverse engineer something relative to what I need to do to learn a language and refresh on the ideas. For instance, I started building GTA FiveM mods. I would take other peoples resources, read them and try to generalize the code using my own knowledge.. After about 3-4 scripts I started to write things that other server did not have. Now, I look back and it's almost like reading a foreign book. I can understand what it says to an extent, but I don't know where I came up with a lot of the content lol.

Yeah in my classes, i used to look at my close friends work, only one of my friends actually commented so they other ones proved difficult but it was good to have a feel and recognise other scripts and other uses of the same functions we were working on. I think having the ability to have friends around you interested into the same languages is good to keep the knowledge fresh with your friends and get help from each other.
I did a lot of java script work for Rust servers a few years back, and before that was Minecraft servers alongside with Garry's Mod HL2 Lua Scripts. I started getting into programming at a young age, and now coming back to Lua, Irecognise a few functions. But for some reason now recently going back to C++ and C#, Ican hardly even remember the right parsing for basic Keyboard Functions. lmao
