Why cannot computers just be normal? I am trying to light a fucking lightbulb.

@LukeAlmighty Computers should really tell us WHY they fail. Hardware or software problem? etc.

@Jazzy_Butts
Yeah....
My problem is, that programmers live in layers upon layers of pre-made software with rules, that noone bothers to explain.

If I want to start, I shouldn't have to learn what package manager the OS uses, what the fuck is PIP, spent hours setting up python etc.

I remember, when I was at UNI. And I promise, I am not lying. Every single teacher wanted us to use a different developer environment, so by the end, I had about 5 different programs just to write code.... -_-

More tutorials should seriously focus on the meta stuff. Because as it is now, I copy lesson 1 code, and then spend 5h debugging first fucking lesson.

All I wanted was to switch a fucking pin from 0 to 1. A single pin.... :angry_pepe:

@Jazzy_Butts
And yes, 4 of these programs were free trials of some payed shit.

Because fuck students.

@LukeAlmighty I get frustrated the same way about that, I myself want to learn so much, but to learn to do a simple thing, like pick an apple, it's not like in the real world where someone can just show me what a ladder is and how to use it and I can get the apple...but instead I would have to learn all about the history of ladders, the language of ladders, the terminology that ladder builders use, in order to simply use the ladder, because I can't just use the ladder I have to speak to it, and if I don't speak it's language it will ignore me and won't work. It's fucked.

@LukeAlmighty I'm guessing the issue is that you're running Windows. You need to edit the PATH registry variable to include the folder with the pip exe or cd into it, because Windows is retarded and doesn't wanna keep executables in sane places

@LukeAlmighty Then it should just work? possibly `pip3`

pacman -Ql python-pip | grep bin

@applejack
Ok... I managed to install Pip, but that didn't help. I will just try it tomorow.

Also, why does programming have to be such a hell?
