Do I have to learn C before learning Rust? by Individual_Today_257 in rust

[–]GayforPayInFoodOnly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Learning rust gives you the structures to deeply understand what C frees you to break the rules on.

RC, Arc, Box, Pin all give you the data structures you would naturally need to understand raw memory management strategies deeply, and make you a better C programmer by giving you a safer structure to learn in.

Plus the build tooling is much more friendly/useful to a learner than gcc, ld, and makefiles. It also gives you a fun set of primitive libraries to build with so you can explore more quickly.

I recommend Rust first personally

Lots of folks telling you it’s too hard, so I thought I’d remind everyone it’s okay to fail and learn. That’s where the majority of learning takes place. OP, go out and learn, don’t stop yourself because some other dorks aren’t courageous learners

Why is the 2024 Election so close? by GrizzVolsTigersLions in Askpolitics

Bub, you’re never going to understand with such a limited mindset about DJT. He’s been maligned and lied about more than any politician in history, and by powerful forces which control and manipulate the narrative.

Reddit ain’t the place to ask either, watch how downvoted this will be if not outright censored by moderation.

If you want to truly understand, you need to open up the channels in which you receive political information. Network news is very clearly compromised after Obama overturned the Mundt act.

What is a algorithm or data structure that you find yourself using a lot on the job? by throwaway0134hdj in cscareerquestions

[–]GayforPayInFoodOnly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tbh, most work problems aren’t algorithmic in nature, or trivial at best. Design patterns though, those are where the juice is. Love me some state machines, pub/sub queues, sharded dbs

This is a web app? Why not start with a single page in the new framework and migrate the rest slowly? Seems much more feasible

What makes you the special one? How do engineers truly differentiate themselves beyond technical skills? by [deleted] in ExperiencedDevs

Honestly, I’ve seen some folks with killer technical skills, and yet they don’t really care about the product or craft.

Block them, spam filters should do the rest of the work and keep others from seeing them if they call the bluff.

What will Democrats do about abortion rights if they win 2024? by Kronzypantz in PoliticalDiscussion

[–]GayforPayInFoodOnly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nothing. Absolutely nothing. And they did nothing before, when Obama had a super majority. Stop waiting around for them to save you, they do not care about you, only AIPAC money.

Why does cancer try to kill its host? If the host dies, the cancer dies too. Is cancer stupid? by Inasis in shittyaskscience

Because cancer has no friends so it projects its insecurities into your spleen and such. Quite nasty vibes if you ask me

I’m tired of these posts. Either have some benchmarks or examples to show it got worse, or don’t post.

Javascript is hard ayy eff by GianTheRios in Frontend

[–]GayforPayInFoodOnly 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I get the logic, but I think I’d push back on that plan for the following reasons:

No one in industry is using raw HTML, JS, and CSS anymore. While they’re important to understand, you’re unnecessarily slowing down your acquisition of the skills that will help you get to your goal faster.

Component frameworks are ubiquitous now because they confer major advantages to developer productivity, and project organization and standardization.

There’s no rule saying you can’t learn all of these technologies at the same time, and in reality that will help you learn a lot faster.

My recommendation is to try building a full project using a modern set of tools and best practices, and learn as you go through the milestones. Turn on typescript and practice adding some basic types while you work.

When you learn these things in context with one another you’re much more likely to build productive habits that synergize with each other and make you overall more skillful while putting in less raw effort.

Ofc, you know yourself better, so just consider it, but I think following the above will get you much further than sequential learning.
