Fellow tells me he needs to learn C++
I say start by learning about the concepts of OO like inheritance and polymorphism etc. He agrees to do so and we are to discuss them the next day.
I show up ready to ensure that he understands what OO is about. Hey says he did not look at them and says he is studying the language, something about copy constructors.
It is REALLY hard to help people when they can't see past what they already know or trust you to help them find the way. If they don't want to listen maybe they should stop asking for help!
Maybe I am just having a bad day...

(05:00:44) 3v0: did you even start looking at the concepts of OO like I asked ?
(05:01:22) XXX: no and i'll tell you why
(05:01:43) XXX: i programmed RT in C 2 years without studying basics like how compiler works, how linker works
(05:01:47) XXX: i don't wanna do it again
(05:02:16) 3v0: well yeah that is what I am trying to prevent
(05:02:24) 3v0: but you go the other direction
(05:02:37) XXX: ok, then i;ll go
