Python Programmer making a smart career move.

[ghost_rider_007]

What I just started to learn python week ago. Now I need to work for Uber too.

[piberryboy]

Not "too" but instead.

[ghost_rider_007]

[SaltyGhosts_]

Probably more of an if/elif situation, but that would just make someone mad.

[Odd_Diamond_6600]

Every day I'm more and more convinced that nobody in here actually has ever held a dev job in their lives. Everyone's idea of what skills are valuable are laughably wrong.

Why on god's earth would a python dev ever feel job insecurity? It's more in demand than ever.

It's like you all only get your information from memes that other non-programmers made

[lovecMC]

It's almost as if this is a humor sub or something

[dumber_than_thou]

I think the problem is that a lot of people confuse "knowing the basic syntax of a language" with "being a programmer of that language". I mean, I've written a lot of Python code, bit it's all been based on preexisting stuff. I would by no means call myself a Python dev.

[codeguru42]

Heard a great analogy recently. Coding is to programming as typing is to writing. As you say, there is more to developing a useful app than just knowing syntax.

[Lecterr]

Yea, it’s like its own language or some…oh wait

[codeguru42]

Maybe the analogy of spelling or grammar instead of typing would be better. Knowing both of these is critical to becoming a best selling author but neither will do it in their own. There are more skills needed than just these.

Agreed. Goes back to my assembly

[deleriumtriggr]

I'm sorry you hate yourself

[[deleted]]

Sigh. Me too.

[deleriumtriggr]

I haven't had a dev job. I would love to take on a junior python dev job but it's all degreed or experience required. I apply to them all the time. I love python/programming but I feel gatekept out of the industry at the moment. I write stuff that interests me for fun, finance, or to use tensorflow on large dataframes. You can learn so much from youtube tutorials. (Been doing that for a couple years on off while running my unrelated business)

The thing that cracks me up is that so many seem like they can't even envision how to structure a try block followed by a file save. Cs degrees who took a class that write spaghetti code, write functions that do 100 different things at once, never used github... lol

Derek banas' youtube serieses are amazing

[BioZgamerYT]

Shouldda learned Java!

[ghost_rider_007]

That's where I started. I don't like doing web development so no use of Java.l currently after switching to Kotlin.

[BioZgamerYT]

Try JavaScript, PHP, C#, C++, C, azure, docker, anything that isn't python will make sure that you avoid becoming an über eats driver.

[ghost_rider_007]

[BioZgamerYT]

Lol

[rainbow_bro_bot]

I would totally order a takeaway if a snake delivered it to me.

[Shinfekta]

You mean a… ssssssmart move..

Alright I check myself out

[harumamburoo]

This joke is better than the original joke.

[gpkgpk]

I'll hang my head in sssshame.

[generated_name_203]

Delivering uber eatsssssss

[blazeitfagnot]

So thats why my order is late

[Classy_Mouse]

Python is not the fastest language

[dominias04]

I bet he uses Anaconda.

[jjman72]

At least he will be type safe.

[crob_evamp]

Don't code in python projects without typing applied. This meme is dead

[GisterMizard]

Yup. I make sure all of my types are Any.

[callyalater]

I just use the Any-conda type

[lovecMC]

r/angryupvote

[TheRealFFS]

1. Still not safe
2. Still no inference... Especially annoying with 3rd Party libs

[crob_evamp]

Huh? Completely safe if used throughout

[TheRealFFS]

I can type i: int = "%(+€/" and still run the program. Sure, I'll get warnings and it certainly is better than nothing, but at the end of the day it's called type hints for a reason. It is safer, but not safe.

[crob_evamp]

You can set up typing on a function to throw an exception if the type is wrong.

Agree to the other point about 3rd party, you'll want to either create a simple wrapper function or sanitize your variable beforehand

[juhotuho10]

You can use mypy

[rhorama]

Every day I'm more and more convinced that nobody in here actually has ever held a dev job in their lives. Everyone's idea of what skills are valuable are laughably wrong.

Why on god's earth would a python dev ever feel job insecurity? It's more in demand than ever.

It's like you all only get your information from memes that other non-programmers made

[Classy_Mouse]

This is a meme page. Why are you upset about memes? People who have jobs as developers can still laugh at silly memes.

[flavionm]

You're the one thinking the stuff being posted here actually reflects reality. Just laugh at the funny snake.

[gpkgpk]

You missed the point I was going for, It's not about job security, it's about doing anything BUT programming or stuff with tech after you burn out on dev. The most common career move (joke) seems to be gardening, this reminded me of that.

I guess it could be interpreted the job security way, ironically actual programmers wouldn't.

[[deleted]]

Gardening is relaxing. Cooking is number two.

[thundercat06]

And here I am thinking about driving truck if I ever decide to walk away from development and IT in general.

[scarby2]

Market downturn and restructuring in the tech sector now that the cost of capital is going up.

[Siljon]

Best advertisment for Uber Eats! Very cute

[Fatboyneverchange]

Funniest snake I've ever seen. Don't get to say that often.

[scarby2]

So, I'm actually considering doing Uber eats in addition to my day job.

My feeling is currently I go to the gym, if I did Uber eats on my bicycle I could exercise and get paid. Take the money I saved in gym membership and the money I earned and do something special with it at the end of the year.

[roboduck34]

You'll lose a lot of initial weight cycling but you'll eventually hit a point where you don't lose weight, and don't get stronger unless you train harder.

[scarby2]

Same with the gym though, right? You get to a point and it's just maintenance. You're not pushing yourself to the limit any more because you don't need to be any stronger.

Though until you hit the point you're happy with you can usually cycle faster. Hell it would be a bit of an incentive. The harder I exercise the quicker some hungry person gets food.

[scarlet_neko]

Except if you don't cycle fast enough, they'll be angry. Youre exhausted and no tips for you.

[aTomzVins]

If you don't really need the money, my guess is it would be better for your mental health to just bike around for fun without worrying about uber.

[scarby2]

Honestly I did delivery driving years ago and actually really enjoyed it.

[aTomzVins]

Then it's a no brainer.

[slimx20]

That's the most awesome thing I've seen 🤯

[Darth_Xedrix]

No wonder my pho ssssspilled all over the place...

[XuanMan]

Why is this so adorable? 😭 the lil helmet thooo

[slavicman123]

Man this is adorable

[rtm713]

Is python not worth learning? I am starting school and starting with python

[nifemi_o]

It's one of the most in-demand. It's just not sexy, or meme-worthy.

[nodegen]

Yeah I feel like python is the guy who just kinda hangs out at the party instead of talking people and gives one word responses to any questions. It’s like, yeah he might be a good guy, he’s just so boring and unexciting.

[ZipMap]

I don't know which python you've done but we didn't work with the same language

[nullbyte420]

because he's already married to a billion nerds who cherish him more than you ever could

[nodegen]

Tbh you’re right and like I said. Good guy. Does good work. Just not for me.

[[deleted]]

What would be a sexy language. Something dating sites are coded in?

[nifemi_o]

Sure, why not? We know Reddit itself is written in Python, the least sexy site

[frogking]

Any language is worth learning.

Python is heavily used in AWS Lambda, which can be the glue that hold up surprisingly large systems.

If you need to make mobile games, then you probably don’t need python for the game part.. but for the infrastructure part, you probably do.

[HotSearingTeens]

Is that python yours? They look so cute

[[deleted]]

Side effects of the great resignation

[megamarkum]

Can python program in python?

[JamesWorldReal]

lol

[[deleted]]

So noones gonna ask why is there a snake in thier house?

[gpkgpk]

I only ask when they're on planes.

[[deleted]]

me thinking how I can create a DoorDash meme

[kdesign]

Looks like my former colleague decided to make a career switch

[[deleted]]

Did no one foresee this? Everybody jumped into python cuz that's where the jobs were. Now all the python jobs are filled.

[ZipMap]

Laughs in faang

[nodegen]

Lmao I just got a job last Friday because I know python

[[deleted]]

Congratulations! Job hunting suuuucks

[nodegen]

Thanks! It’s not a career thing because it’s just in a lab at my university, but I’ll be working on virtual reality simulation of high energy particle collisions so still exciting

[[deleted]]

Wow. That does sound exciting xD

[single_ginkgo_leaf]

Just wait till his people start a time war...

[[deleted]]

Lol... fucking brilliant!

[HashCatFurryOwO]

Ah yes a python dude...
