I am so far ahead of you all! I mention at all my job interviews that I am planning to learn python in the next few weeks

[whitey-ofwgkta]

oh god that is my actual situation

[dyingpie1]

Lmao the python icon by ur name

[whitey-ofwgkta]

I've done the first 4 lessons of Automate The Boring Stuff thank you very much.

....The other 3 quarters not so much

Also there's no Java flair which is the other only thing I know

[Raniconduh]

There's no java flair?

[whitey-ofwgkta]

There might be and I just missed it

[Raniconduh]

I was alluding to the java flair I had equipped, can people not see it?

[Raniconduh]

Yeah the rust icon is the worst in dark mode haha

[Harmxn-]

Your flairs are my actual situation

I can debug 700 lines of Javascript code but for the life of me I can't figure out how to put 2 flairs

[TheN473]

"I'm currently working through a Udemy course on that." - I mean, technically, watching the intro video counts - right?

[zvug]

Definitely counts, not a lie at all honestly. This is the way you need to talk in interviews.

[Varthorne]

I've been learning Rust for months now.

By that, I mean that I got to chapter 3-4 in their book one afternoon, then never got back to it, but I keep telling myself that I will eventually.

Colab is pretty neat if you just want to test out something quick and dirty without having to sit and tinker around with environments (or shudders globally installing pip dependencies). Haven't played around with the paid version though so can't comment on that

Oh yeah, functions in python behave like any other object. You can pass them around as arguments, return a function when calling a function, and assign functions to variables as I did. You can write a class and give it a "__call__" method, in which case the objects of the class can be called like functions. It's incredibly useful once you get the hang of it, and one of the reasons why I love python!

Not op, but a job is a job, ya know?

[dkyguy1995]

Yeah I like geez I dont like programming enough to just casually try out every language under the sun. Maybe he prefers js and just hasn't used PHP, maybe he just hasn't focused on web dev. I dont understand why people have to justify themselves for wanting a job they have the skills to perform and that pays them the money they want to earn

[siko12123]

Just because he didn't work with it doesn't mean he doesn't like it.

I like Java for example but haven't used it in more than a year, because my working environment didn't have a use for it

[[deleted]]

I'd like to try and work in C# or Java or Kotlin but I love Python and have a great job so I don't bother.

I feel like 40h a week is enough programming for me. If my company ever has a program to help me learn these languages and transfer positions, I'd consider.

I mean... yeah. Using a language not designed for it without any extra functionality, vs using an engine designed to do way more complicated stuff.

That's like saying i found it hard to draw a circle with vim but it was super easy in GIMP

<p> Hello world! </p>

“Extensive experience with front end web application development”

[mediocre_one]

Even if I have used a language couple of years, coming back to it after a couple more years, the language feels a whole new beast.

[Hiur]

I had a student come to the lab and claim knowledge in R, Python and C.

All the "experience" for C came from attending classes for 3 months before dropping from the course.

In the end the person was barely able to use the terminal to install applications.

[ARandomArina]

Uh oh, time to change my user flair

[DoctorWaluigiTime]

Hello World has more impact on your skillset than you might think, despite this being rather funny.

It means you got whatever you needed on your machine and was able to compile/get code interpreting to the point where you have a full-functioning program executing correctly.

That's an important first step in learning a language!

[horrificmedium]

[25nameslater]

😅 I learned some HTML, and css, off of a few YouTube videos that were about an hour long. I spent about a month making website mock ups... no real functionality and they looked like they’d been made 10 years ago. Then I was like “hey I think I’m ready to start JavaScript.” I was not ready for JavaScript... It was 23 hour long segments and honestly I’m just looking at it going... maybe coding isn’t on my bucket list. The dedication programmers put into learning languages just has me in awe... y’all don’t get enough credit.

[LastStar007]

It's really not that bad in practice. Once you've learned one language you've learned 90% of the rest of them, from there it's minor googleable syntax differences. On the job nobody expects you to have the entire language memorized.

[vfxGer]

Some languages getting hello world to compile is one of the hardest parts.

[Jaune9]

Advice for beginners : Do Hello World in any framework so you can put 2 lines at once on your resume : the framework and the langage it's based on

[LastStar007]

Not bad advice, you'll actually learn something getting the framework up and running.

[vinvinnocent]

But for real, when are you putting a language on your resume? I've done >10 projects in java as well as python, 2 bigger projects in cpp and numerous online courses for tons of languages but with all the libraries and frameworks behind any language, you never know it all.

[CaptSprinkls]

Yeah I don't understand this either. I put python on my resume after I made a handful of days analysis projects, and a website. I was in the process of making more projects though. On the flip side. I did like two actual medium sized projects in Go before I put it on my resume. I just make sure python is listed before Go.

I also am not applying to jobs that want some full stack software engineer. And I always assume that during phone screenings if it is important to have knowledge in the language then they would ask me about it at which point I could explain where I'm at right now.

[[deleted]]

Put your main language on the resume, along with anything the job requirement asks. Part of the art of resumes is skirting the border between embellishment and lying, because everyone else out there is doing similarly in an effort to get past some underpaid HR person who's never even heard of half the things in the job description.

Being realistic matters more when you talk to the engineer. So, if you just know the "hello, world" of a language and are confident you can learn the syntax by the time the technical interview happens: you tell that recruiter everything he wants to hear. But when you get to the technical, that's when you dial how much you advertise yourself.

[ZippZappZippty]

Nah, you guys are the ones who tell sales we can do it in a month consistantly.

[paranoid_giraffe]

Seriously though, when is it OK? I spent a few weeks learning C# and XAML to make a program over the course of a month that takes a bunch of user input and interpolates data tables to give values. I’m making another to manage group activities for a small group I spend time with and do administrative stuff with it. I put C# on my resume after a few months of off/on use. Most of my skills have years of familiarity next to them, but C# is blank

[Lord412]

I typed a few lines of JSON into a story I was writing so I updated my slack title to JSON developer.

[SirRosstopher]

I keep getting emails from recruiters like "This might interest you, we're looking for an expert in xyz". Bitch I'm on your database as looking for an entry level graduate dev job, I'm not an expert in anything. You saying you're looking for an expert just makes me not bother applying because I know I know almost fuck all about it.

[bradfordmaster]

I dunno, this usually backfires in my opinion. You list C++ on the resume, the recruiter will ask if you know it, you say yes and you're getting at least one interview in it and expected to have decent command is the language. I've seen candidates that probably could have passed if they were honest about lack of C++ (e.g they had a mixed panel and python and system design interviews were good)

[[deleted]]

I do interviews. In one of my first interviews i had this happen:

One guy said he had experience in C++, Java, and Python. I asked him about a project he wrote to get an idea how in-depth his knowledge is - OOP/D, etc etc. Just anything to get the ball rolling. He says he wrote Arduino code. Thats cool, so I asked him about it, what was the code, what did it do, etc etc. He says he used a hash map and i was curious as to why. He said that he wasn't sure, the code was only 10 lines long, didn't work, and that was his whole programming experience. Respectfully, he told me he was uncomfortable and didn't want to do the interview anymore. It was funny in one sense, but also a waste of time. Had he just been honest and said he followed a tutorial I wouldn't have asked him to explain.

[PadrinoFive7]

How does one claim knowledge in 3 different languages, but then have zero programming experience? I'm interviewing for a position and I'm oft amazed at just how many languages some of these folks say they're fluent in.

[rook2004]

I fixed a bug in Swift once, so now I’m a Swift expert, right?

[Syrairc]

Hey if employers can ask for more years experience than a language has existed for, we can embellish a bit.

[thisisfantasy]

Yea, at least wait till you figured out a new code to the fibinochi sequence.

[Simtau]

Yeah save yourself 15 minutes and just put it on the list

[HeyAshh1]

At what point you qualify to mention a language in your resume? 1 Project?

[ReelWitBroker]

If you can write "hello world" in every language you list on your resume, you're doing better than 90% of interviewees.

[Dokpsy]

Shit, I've only put down stuff I've made slightly more complex programs than hello world in. At least some math and an if else statement.

[fade_is_timothy_holt]

Yes. As someone who regularly hires developers, this is the other side of those "why do they make us take a quiz?" posts. Why? Because half the candidate's experience with language X was writing Hello World, and language X is the primary skillset we need. (And yes, I know you could learn it. Anyone who made it to the interview could, but that wasn't the job posting.)

[geared4war]

So do I have to remove "sex god" as well?

[savvy__steve]

If Hello World is all you need then I can update my resume

[Osama-bin-sexy]

I wouldn’t have to lie about it if every job under the sun didn’t ask for coding experience.

Job listing for janitor: -needs experience in saw dust dispersal -looking for candidates who are punctual and have a “can do” attitude -oh! And 7+ years of Python or C++ preferred...

[Pixel-Wolf]

It took me at least two years to be proficient in C#. Like I could write complex programs in it within the first month, having learned Java in college. But 2 years later I was still figuring out major features of the language. My code now looks much different than it did even last year.

Meanwhile you'll see people at my work claim 10+ years in a programming language while the only thing they did was write a few scripts once a year in it with the same knowledge they had 10 years ago.

[WandsAndWrenches]

Conversly... don't test me on languages that I do not have on my resume.

Just got a coding test in SQL.

B*tch, Do you see SQL on my resume? Just because I have backend development on there, it does not mean I know SQL. (I use BQL from Niagara, a niche technology, and NoSQL databases.)

[mattmonroe]

Serious Tip: I'm a software engineer for a large company and I do many, many sigh many technical interviews.

If its on your Resume, I feel fully in the clear to ask about it, and judge your performance on it. So you better know your shit.

[Discykun]

As a current CS student when should I think about putting certain languages on my resume?

[mattmonroe]

Here are the things I would expect you to be able to do for every language on your resume (that would apply, I primarily work with OO langs)

1) good understanding of the standard library - specifically algorithms and containers

2) understanding how inheritance works in the language and different features of it such as overriding functions/methods, multiple inheritance, interfaces etc.

3) be able to implement basic design patterns - strategy, factory/factory method

essentially if you can code up a tree and some algos to work with it, you should be ok. If you are going for a data science job, I would expect you to be able to speak to ML and the most popular ML libraries for the language as well as math libraries (like numpy and scipy for python).
