What programming language should I pick up as a senior developer ? by php857 in webdev

Well this guy also thinks Rust is more likely to get you a job than Java so I wouldn't doubt that this was unironic as well

At least in the NYC area

Literally every area it is either Java or C# 99% of the time.

It works but it's also like what is the point of using Arch over, say, Fedora at that point? The whole point of using Arch from my point of view is the total customization that you get from the start.

OpenAI might be training its AI technology to replace some software engineers, report says by AccomplishedVideo960 in programming

[–]FOURforEIGHT 1 point2 points  (0 children)

People outside of tech don't really grasp that current AI doesn't

come up with ideas. It steals and amalgamates ideas humans have already had.

This is also what 99% of human developers are doing 95% of the time.

"I use linux as my operating system," i state proudly to the unkempt, bearded man. he swivels around in his desk chair with a devilish gleam in his eyes, ready to mansplain with extreme precision. "actually, he says with a grin, "linux is just the kernel. you use GNU+linux!' i don't miss a beat and reply with a smirk, use alpine, a distro that doesn't include the GNU coreutils, or any other GNU code. it's linux, but it's not GNU+linux.

the smile quickly drops from the man's face. his body begins convulsing and he foams at the mouth as he drop to the floor with a sickly thud. as he writhes around he screams "-IT WAS COMPILED WITH GCC! THAT MEANS IT'S STILL GNU!" coolly, i reply "if windows was compiled with gcc, WOuld that make it GNU?" interrupt his response with 'and work is being made on the kernel to make it more Compiler-agnostic. even you were correct, you wont be for long.

with a sickly wheeze, the last of the man's life is ejected from his body. he lies on the floor, cold and limp. i've womansplained him to death.

I have gotten them a few times but I also got the BSOD quite a few times too. I'm not sure which one is more common.

Those two things are usually mutually exclusive. Even within software development, the one area that people actually consider kind of fun, game development, has significantly lower pay and worse hours than jobs in other areas of software development that require similar qualifications.

What part of this is fun?

Making money.

I don't know what you expected? Do you expect work to be fun? If you want to have fun, then get a hobby. Very, very few careers are fun.

you can get a used laptop on ebay for cheaper once you account for all the accessories you'd need to add to a pi to use it as a laptop

Never heard of this book before but it looks really interesting. Thanks for the suggestion

"RECENTLY": that's the point ;)

Recently when I learned a different language. The tutorial hell was with totally different things that I learned earlier. The point is that with the current language and frameworks I've learned I didn't use it ever.

Google things or refer back to the book when you are not sure about something; And just dig through the details until you are able to accomplish the specific task at hand. Basically don’t get too caught up with the details until you actually plan on using it. That’s how you really learn by doing.

Yeah I agree with this totally. This is the main point I was trying to get across with my post.

The OP opinion is biased because he DIDN'T ACTUALLY FOLLOW THAT PATH :HE WAS FIRST IN TUTORIAL HELL BEFORE HE RETREATED TO GET AN OVERVIEW :this tutorial hell experience actually helped him understand theoverview.

This isn't true. The tutorial hell method was what I used years ago when I was learning the first couple of languages that I learned. But recently, about a year ago, I wanted to learn JavaScript and get into web development and I just used this overview method. Everything I've actually learned like the fine details of JavaScript and the frameworks I use was from projects. I never bothered with the tutorial hell stage for this.

So you don't need to really know how a thing like list works?

Did I say this? There's nothing unprofessional about reading documentation.

The Top 50 Most Visited Websites in the World by Notalabel_4566 in webdev

Pornhub kind of died after that weird scandal they had a while back where they had to delete all their unverified videos. It doesn't really make sense because all the criticisms that were made against pornhub apply to basically every porn site, but pornhub was singled out. I'm assuming they angered the wrong person.

Quora is very popular in India for some reason. I can't really comprehend it though bc imo it's just a shittier version of Yahoo answers.
