RE: Fetching Hive-Engine Liquidity Pools Just Got Better!
This guy said it best, learning to code is a bit like trying to understand a visual illusion. In his case he mentioned the Elephant picture where you can't figure out where its legs begin and end. I tend to agree, sometimes the code itself looks like it couldn't be more complex. Then when you do figure it out it becomes clear, until the next time you go through the code and it's more confusing than ever.
A little bit earlier in the video he tells how he writes comments on just about every line, just so that he can explain the stuff to his future self. I guess that's the correct way to learn. If you can teach yourself (or others) something effectively, it means you've at least understood it (at one point at least).
That's so true and it's the exact feeling I get everytime I look at some code - even mine!
At first I'm like "what the fu*k I'm looking at? 🤣", than "ah ok, I got it!" and sometimes later "There's no way I'll ever become decent at this 😭".
Maybe I'm going to try to add more comments in the future, as this could also help others who may like to give me some suggestions to better understand my code and find where I may have made mistakes or stuff like that.
