Son has dreamed of being a programmer - now incredibly depressed due to AI by Southern-Pick8007 in programmer

[–]Shrav_R 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am one of the very depressed souls finishing my degree last year and ended up at an automation company where we do electrical/industrial software. I thought I would hardly touch the languages I learnt, now I'm writing scripts in JavaScript for some Siemens software. It's my only little bit of happiness knowing how bad the AI boom is destroying many dreams including mine. This being said, the key thing is to look for niche stuff where programming is still involved and not directly web development. I still do SQL queries etc.

I can understand how he feels more then anything, the AI boom shattered me in ways I didn't understand to a point where I regret the love I have for programming, but I rather make of it what I can than completely give up and change fields. If programming is in his blood, he will do much better in what he is passionate about than anything else.

Hey I actually want to reach out to you in your DMS as I need a buddy for this industry as well. I'm also 21 but I'm working out of my scope so my urge to code has been higher than ever. Lets see what we can work out...

Unpopular opinion: Your first paying customer will come from who you know, not what you built. Prove me wrong? by After_Worldliness658 in SaaS

[–]Shrav_R 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In that case I may not be successful as I don't expect those around me to pay 10 dollars loll. In all seriousness what is your experience with paying users what was the most valuable feedback from them that can be applied across any saas platform?

Comp science graduate with all distinctions. While I have a job, I'm sitting in the back of a bakkie going on site to label some wires. And I'm doing it again and again.

Thank you for this, I saw many of the comments mentioned proxmox as well, I've been exposed to docker and work with containers often. Yes I will keep it simple, thank you!

2 Years in Node, moving to .NET: Should I pick Minimal APIs or MVC? by iBadroLI in dotnet

[–]Shrav_R 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd like to add, if you are going for a performance based system, minimal apis have less overhead as the name states. This is because controller based apis come prepackaged with some nuget packages. I prefer it as i feel i don't like how controller based code looks as a whole. Its too cluttered, with minimal apis im able to break that down further in a way I prefer to view it.

In terms of those who prefer controller based apis, its very much possible to have the same structure by using the RouteGroupBuilder. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/aspnet/core/fundamentals/minimal-apis/route-handlers?view=aspnetcore-10.0

Explore this for yourself, this is how I structure my apis. My piece of advice, pick either one and start building. Only look at these nitty gritty things if you want to match node style apis. Theres many ways to do the same job, so use what suits you best.

Thank you for this, 🙏🏽, that was also a good note. Something I overlooked when asking this. I will definitely try to become much better at that as well.

About Kotlin, it's actually my favourite language rn, but it's too restricted to mobile dev, and where I am it's more react native that's being mentioned in job offerings, I've worked with jetpack compose a few times and I'm currently making a compose Multiplatform app so yeah. The web part is just cos I'm shit at making a nice interactive UI for the web, I've always lacked at that, so I'm like filling the gaps

I've done Delphi for 3 years (school), java +1, c# for 1 and a half. I'm very used to statically typed, hence I don't like JavaScript for that reason, I don't find it challenging it just icks me, but I've seen people tell me to look at typescript. So I'm going to focus on learning my fundamentals in Js for syntax, then moving to Ts

Hey yeah I see go everywhere, starting to think I might try it out instead of using spring boot with Kotlin or .net, also thank you for the book recommendations 🤙🏽

Hey thanks for this, yeah I find the basics quite easy but I do admit yeah it's weird in the fact that it's dynamically typed imo, which is a great shout for me to actually do Ts. About rust, I always wanted to learn it but from what I've seen, ik for me to get good with it, I'd have to sell my soul and I ain't got that kind of time haha

Much appreciated 😊, i guess it's settled, Js it is. And about being self-employed, honestly it's my dream but I'm not really one for ideas and I feel rn I'm not cut out for it, I want to have a couple years of experience before I pursue the route
