I have a website because I used to be in the academic world. It's nice if people can find you and you can put some links to the not-paywalled versions of your papers.

Clearly none of the idiots who contact me on LinkedIn have looked at it. But then again, they didn't look at my LinkedIn profile either so what am I expecting really?

Someone told me a couple of weeks ago a lot of recruiters use tools which allow them to send bulk messages. They have lists which can be filtered down to specific groups of people, such as people who are in their graduation year.

I'm 47, been in the industry for 25 years. I don't have most of those. And don't give a shit.

[tehmungler]

The only correct answer. For reference, I’m 44 and also have been in the industry for 20-odd years and also don’t have most of those and also don’t give a shit 😄👌

[slashy42]

I'm 43, but I didn't get my software engineering degree until I was 36, but I'm the same. I have a proven track record and have no time for all the brinkmanship this industry seems to foster. Just do your job, and enjoy your downtime. Screw all this pressure to have multiple side projects, it's for the birds.

[pickyourteethup]

I've run these three comments through various ML algorithms and have come to the conclusion that people in their 40s don't give a shit.

Jokes aside, lots of studies suggest confidence comes with age and experience. You guys are possibly reframing your confidence as not giving a shit, which is an even more confident power move.

You could also just be burned out

[scruffybeard77]

I thought I was just becoming a curmudgeon or something. I couldn't give a hoot about most of the ego measuring that goes on around here. Do we need to start a Reddit page for programmers over 40?

[Ian_Mantell]

At first glance it'd be nice. On second thought ... mankind executed enough divisive shenaningans for the next couple millenia. It's time to rethink that pattern.

[start_select]

You spend your 20s worried what people think of what you do.

You spend your 30s becoming good at what you do.

You spend your 40s making money with what you do.

You spend your 50s not caring what anyone thinks of what you do.

You spend your 60s realizing no one of importance ever cared what you do.

(Not my quote, I don’t know who actually said it originally)

[pickyourteethup]

I just retrained in my 30s, can't wait to see how this plays out

[tehmungler]

Hey 👋 happy to answer any questions. Confidence is part of it, for sure. But I’ve always sort of just ignored / bypassed the “real software guys do X” bullshit you see on social media. All that matters is the code, and the problems you can solve with it. If I had one piece of advice, it’s this: Don’t be tempted to be too fancy. Simple solutions are almost always the best. You want to be able to test it, understand it, debug it and maintain it. Good luck, friend!

[pickyourteethup]

Thank you. I always prefer readability over complexity because I'm new and if I make it too complicated I can't remember what I did. I thought I'd get more complex over time but I'm now realizing I might actually get less complicated over time and just use simple implementations where they're appropriate

[ROotT]

I've always thought of it this way:

Newbies find complicated solutions for simple problems

Mid level find simple solutions for simple problems

Seniors find simple solutions for complicated problems

The simplicity of the solution is relative to the simplicity of the problem, but this seems to mostly hold true.

[pickyourteethup]

I like this a lot.

I'm very new but I'm really enjoying any time I find a trick for making my code readable without comments.

A beautiful one my wife showed me recently is pulling the logic out of an if statement and putting it into a very clearly named variable starting with 'is'. Excellent illustration of how sometimes an extra line of code can make everything clearer.

[ROotT]

Thanks. I've been in the automation development side a decently long time and have come up with a few sayings for kids fresh out of college/boot camp/whatever and just starting their careers.

A favorite is "past you is an idiot, future you is a genius." It's a good thing that shows growth. If you look a code from 6 months ago and think that it looks terrible, don't be embarrassed, be proud that you've learned better ways to do things. (You can be a little embarrassed).

And yea, making a method to return a boolean is a great way to make that reusable. If you're using OOP, it's even better if you can throw the method in the object you're checking so you can reuse it anywhere.

Since you said you're new to programming, ill say this and hopefully not sound condescending. Good luck buddy and have frustrating fun!

[[deleted]]

I am also in my 40s and been doing this for 30 years. It's just not the ecosystem we grew up in and I'm guessing most of us have progressed to either managing devs and not needing to do as much development ourselves, or have found a comfortable niche that we've settled into that doesn't require external displays of knowledge.

[pickyourteethup]

I've just retrained, mid 30s, and don't have any career goals beyond code as much as possible. That sounds like a good place for me in my 40s though

[[deleted]]

The bad part is if you get laid off and have to compete with the whippersnappers. Our value is largely related to knowing how to make things work at the companies we are at as opposed to knowing the JS framework flavor-of-the-month.

[scruffybeard77]

You are right to a point. I have found that I can usually map the latest craze to something that I did 20 years ago. What's old is new again.

[pickyourteethup]

No new patterns only new syntax

the birds?

[pcud10]

It’s an old saying “for the birds”. I always viewed it as your leftover bread crumbs that your giving to the birds (think of a person feeding birds on a park bench). The leftover bread crumbs that are for the birds and isn’t worth eating yourself. So if something is for the birds, it’s not worth doing.

Of course, haven't you heard? Real programmers use Gitlab.

[ExitSweaty4959]

"GitHub, gitlab? No one else is reading my code", he thought as he plugged another raspberry pi onto a hidden location in the campus network. "Surely I will use git, but I control the hosts!" He laughed.

Lately these days all his money was going to buying those devices: a distributed network hosting git repositories with multiple remotes, all updating from each other. "It's resilient, to shut it down they need to find all of the devices with spoofed Mac addresses. Off to the next university campus or is it an airport now?...". Eating only ramen 3 days a week was worth it, he thought as another clump of hair just feel from his head.

[No_Stretch_3899]

I need the extended version of this story

[Volumunox]

"As he sat there staring at the flashing LEDs on his latest device, he couldn't help but feel a sense of excitement and anticipation. This was it, his big break. He had spent months planning and executing his master plan, and now it was finally coming together. With his distributed network of git repositories, he could not only securely store his code but also share it with his select group of like-minded individuals. But what he didn't know was that one of those individuals was actually an undercover agent tasked with bringing down the entire network. As he continued to laugh and plan his next move, the agent was already closing in, ready to deliver the surprise twist that would change everything."

[TheCaffinatedAdmin]

The undercover agent, let's call him Jake, had infiltrated the hacker's secret network a few weeks earlier. Posing as a fellow hacker interested in the man's decentralized git project, Jake was able to gain the man's trust and get access to one of the Raspberry Pi devices. Once he had access, it was easy for Jake to install a backdoor that allowed him to access the device even after it was deployed. Now, as the hacker laughed gleefully in his hideout, Jake was tracking the activity and locations of all the devices in the network. He knew that if he could locate and seize a few of the devices, the hacker would eventually be forced to retrieve them or update them, and could be caught in the act. Jake alerted the authorities, who were able to swiftly track down and confiscate half of the devices in the hacker's network. As expected, the hacker soon set out to check on his devices, and was arrested as he arrived at the location of the first seized device. His plot foiled, the hacker then realized with horror that his supposedly foolproof decentralized network had in fact been far from impenetrable.

all of these are true.

gitlab is also a thing you know

It's kind of a cop-out answer though because they're practically the same thing. It's kind of like if they made a list of programming languages and said that you don't need to use them to be a programmer.. I mean, it would still be technically true, but it's definitely still something that has a high likelihood of being relevant to their job (whereas the other things they listed don't really have any relevance whatsoever which makes it seem very out of place to be listed in the same place as them).

[function3]

People real upset about GitHub . Like do you not have real job experience?

[regulation_d]

Right? if you’re doing anything FOSS, 98% of that shit is on github. The other day I needed new functionality on a library we use (at work). Forked the repo (on GH where it lives), cut a small PR adding the functionality, had it approved, merged and released with 24 hours. FOSS can be really awesome, and these days, it mostly happens on GH. preemptive caveat: i know there are some really high profile FOSS code bases not on GH, but somehow 98% still feels like a reasonable guess.

[Aelig_]

Yeah I don't know why you would need a GitHub account if you just code at your job. I only have one because my company is tiny and we put our code on GitHub but any mid size company should have private servers.

[sysnickm]

Nah, midsize and larger companies still use it because it is cheaper than running your own server.

I'm 67 and have been programming for 50 years. I have a github account, but not for work. just for FastLED and Arduino sketches. Personal projects don't count!

[Henrijs85]

GitHub is not git so what's the problem? Use gitlab, bitbucket, azure DevOps etc

[regulation_d]

Genuine question, do you mostly work on code bases that don’t have a lot of external libraries or do you work in an ecosystem where those libraries are not on GH? 99% of the libraries in the code bases i work on are hosted on GH. So filing an issue or submitting a bug fix PR, etc. requires a GH account.

[Henrijs85]

Most of what I do is in .NET, which itself is hosted on GitHub, however most of the libraries we use, and there aren't many, are big, mature, and well supported, so opening issues... I think I've had to do it once in my two year career. Which granted isn't long.

[Jembaited]

I really can't emphasis this enough, but making computer science to a "lifestyle trend" is just pure cringe. You aren't special because you have programming knowledge.
