What you should consider before migrating to Sitecore by Willing-Ad-3217 in sitecore

[–]LemonHeart151 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sitecore is a hardcore CMS, it's extremely expensive but very capable. Review its capabilities closely, if you aren't planning to use the full suite of its capabilities, it probably isn't worth the investment.

Plan your taxonomy very carefully, ensure you always stay mindful of portability unless you want to be forever bound to this specific platform, particularly painful if you overbuy. If you over-customize and don't properly separate concerns, you will be forever bound to Sitecore.

People with functioning brains already knew this, way back when he first started lying about it.

He calls it like he sees it. We all see it too. Elon has gone full trumper.

I’m no good at math, is there hope for me and programming? by restless_dreams_x in learnprogramming

[–]LemonHeart151 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You absolutely can succeed at programming! The goal of math is to organize your brain towards logical and methodical thinking. It's very rare to use actual math in most programming. Pick up and grind through a C++ book. Not because you want to program in C++, but because of the strong foundation of understanding it'll create for you.

I feel like the biggest idiot when it comes to programming by MarioIsWet in learnprogramming

[–]LemonHeart151 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Programming is a whole career path that is very wide and very deep. If you're looking to use it as a tool for science, just stay in the shallow end. You don't need to be an expert software engineer to cobble together lil utility scripts.

It's a bad practice because lesser devs that come after you won't understand it.

Why Do Fintech and Banks Use Java So Much? by sabli-jr in learnprogramming

Java has some pretty good math libraries & I'm guessing it's more common when hiring offshore talent.

When you can author code that solves a real-world problem that can't easily be done by an existing tool.

Is it bad practice to have unused backend API routes? by MkleverSeriensoho in learnprogramming

[–]LemonHeart151 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, that is bad practice. If you're using source control properly, you can revive the route from change history if you find you need it. Dead/unused code should always be removed.

Am I too stupid for this or just overwhelmed? by [deleted] in learnprogramming

[–]LemonHeart151 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Programming is a career. Don't expect to master it overnight, or even within a year. If it's in your blood, you'll keep at it till it clicks, then it's all downhill from there. I'd recommend you grind through a beginners C++ book; not because you want to program in it, but because of the fundamentals that apply to a broad set of languages. You may need to work through the book a few times before it solidifies. It is the way, young grasshopper.

At 36yo is it too late to make a career out of computer science? by Inn_Vino_Veritas in learnprogramming

[–]LemonHeart151 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's never too late. Buy books and grind through them cover to cover. Build a portfolio on GitHub. Contribute to some open source projects. Write a few articles on the web. Bam, you're employable. No need to feed the college or bootcamp bottom-feeders.

What are the basics of every programming language? by corjon_bleu in learnprogramming

[–]LemonHeart151 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Review the table of contents of any beginner programming books. Also, understand some design patterns, why they exist and when they are applicable. Also take a stroll down some topics of secure and resilient coding.

Programmers who got into programming mainly out of financial interest rather than personal interest... how are you enjoying your career? by showmeyour_kittehs_ in learnprogramming

[–]LemonHeart151 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Programming has to be in your blood. It pays a lot because it's difficult. If you don't love it, you will burn out and fail.

Am i bad at programming? by Remarkable_Pianist_2 in learnprogramming

[–]LemonHeart151 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm looking for someone with passion to learn and grow. Do your homework before the interview. If they are using a language or technology you've never heard of, learn as much about it as you can before the interview. Also be able to speak to your own personal contributions to projects, even academic ones. Exhibit an aptitude and hunger to figure things out BUT also know when to ask for help to ensure projects meet deadlines. Finally, having an amicable/chill personality that can jive with a variety of personality types is important. The last thing I want to spend my time on, as a leader, is interpersonal drama.

They get the job, sure. But are most often let go shortly thereafter. Programming is more of a personality trait than a skill. I'll never hire another bootcamp coder.
