I don't know what I really expected by now, it's just a bit disappointing to see that programming today is just some zoomer version of it, where everything has already been created by someone else and no one ever talks about how to actually do it yourself from scratch.
Just copying some commands and getting results isn't going to teach anyone how this actually is done, it took me months to grasp how much is actually just calling libraries in C#, this is nothing like what I learned at the beginning with Basic and C++, I had no idea it developed like this, or why.

It seems they build loads of karma into the way this functions, which is why it's near impossible to backtrack the logical reasoning for the way these systems now are structured. A lot of it has this little perky and annoying do-good:er attitude to it, where they make a big deal out of adding some command or functions that saves them the trouble of writing a single dot or keyword somewhere, with the only real effect being that the code gets harder to understand because the syntax is such a mess.

Even using VScode with the terminal instead of the full Visual Studio feels like although they won't actively discourage you for trying, they also aren't actively teaching anyone to do it either. It's a passive down-dumbing of everyone.
