Interested to see what other people's weakest areas are, in regards to general programming. They may not be necessarily due to difficulty, but just to do with not having researched it or not having bothered learning it.
Mine is anything low level. Sure, I know the basics, I can use pointers and manage memory, but even then I wouldn't be confident in wholly explaining the stack and heap to someone else. I really need to learn about that. What's yours? |

| I constantly set up functions and methods so that I can quickly and easily do everything I need, but then I realize that I only have a little loop left to do so I lose interest. |

1: Matrices, seems quite difficult. I shall do some research about this. 2: Metatable, I have to learn more about this. |

| Metatables definitely, I know some information about them and how they work however I have no idea how to use metamethods correctly. |

| Metatables are very very simple. |

Well, I am good with animating.
Not so good with metatables and stuff like set/getfenv. |

Motivation. I can't think of an area that I am particularly poor in, I probably don't know about something yet. |

I can relate. |

| Mine is anything dealing with low-level languages. I know a bit of C, but I don't think I'll ever "master" it. I also don't see any use for it other than for Kernel or Hardware Development (or calculations). |

| Probably understanding technical math and algorithms used to create stuff that ROBLOX does for us. Also, networking systems and error checking. |

Applications of math to graphics and such I tend to be rather weak at at times, especially in 3D.
Other than that, I guess general code standardization is something I've only really started working on recently. I've got projects in PascalCase, camelCase, luacase, something_case, CAPS_SOMETHING_CASE, and more. |

Mine would probably be what Arceus said.
I spend days on a single project and once I get close to finishing it I suddenly lose interest.
Apparently I like to troll myself.

Does that include bitwise operators? |

@Bel
Cool
I'd start one, but who would want to have a 14 y/o fix their computer, even if it's cheaper than the competition?
There's also the fact that I have no money if I happen to screw up anything. |

Virus recovery is a much more safer field to go in IMO. If all goes wrong you can just have them sign a contract that lets you reinstall the operating system. Maybe some PO'd customers, but at least no legal troubles.

@thek00lkid That's not entirely your fault. The person who wrote the source code should be commenting everything. It's pretty much on of the main rules in a programmers Code of Ethics. |
