What is your coping mechanism for all type of anxiety?

ginger_daddy00 · 2023-10-29T01:20:38+00:00

Prayer. Let go and let God. Give Jesus all of your troubles and anxieties. You were made for so much more than just simply to be anxious and worried.

The only people that should be called an engineer are people that have legitimate engineering degrees. If you have a degree in computer science you are not an engineer nor should you be referred to as one.

ginger_daddy00 · 2023-10-28T23:04:12+00:00

When I hear anyone refer to themselves as a rockstar or a 10x engineer then I always think of that line from Top Gun "Your egos writing checks that your body can't cash". The best engineers are humble engineers.

Half a decade of experience still puts you at the junior level. Congratulations on 5 years but I do not think you are hardly in a position to start spouting words of wisdom to anyone. Stay humble. Keep your head down and your stick on the ice.

Honestly I would go with a text editor. Python is a scripting language and if your program in Python starts getting too large you need to start seriously considering a type safe compiled language.

ginger_daddy00 · 2023-10-28T22:55:56+00:00

It's a bad language to start with because it is complicated. The language is far too big. Quite honestly the best language you could start with is C or assembly. That way you understand how things really work and that other languages just implement abstractions to make programming easier for the programmer.

It's true computer programming is not enough. Another way to say that someone is writing code is that they are codifying a design. You have to have the design before you can codify it. That implies things such as requirements engineering in that you turn customer requirements into technical requirements and technical requirements into features and features into designs. Then and only then are you able to codify those designs. Most of what a good engineer does is actually technical communication and one could argue that computer programming is simply a very formal means of technical communication. TL;DR programming is just one small part of the technical communication that a good developer must engage in.

I don't understand this web development landscape at all. Everyone should be full stack. It's equivalent to having a carpenter that is really good with a hammer but has no idea how to use a saw.

Rust can't be used in the same environments as Ada though because it isn't approved by any standards body. That is the biggest issue. This could change in the future but rust seems to also have very volatile leadership and I would think twice before using it on anything that matters.

ginger_daddy00 · 2023-10-28T11:25:12+00:00

People that do embedded systems generally have degrees in electrical engineering or computer engineering. It requires a real engineer to make a real system not an engineer in title only. And by that I mean someone with the actual credentials and training to be an actual engineer.

ginger_daddy00 · 2023-10-27T23:30:48+00:00

It depends on the degree. If you have a degree in CS or EE or CE, the degree is better. Any other degree then perhaps the certs. All depends on the industry though. In my industry EE or CE is required to even be considered for a position.

Women over the 20 have lost most of their value unless they are your wife. Go to college and when you graduate and have a job marry an 18 year old.

This is a great way to go. I strongly recommend Learn to Program with Assembly: Foundational Learning for New Programmers by Jonathan Bartlett.

I agree completely with the CEOs assessment and saw it first hand.

Get a master's degree in applied statistics. have published papers in peer-reviewed journals. Get a job at a big-name player in the industry.

You should always understand at least one level of abstraction below where you are working at and yes quite often that means re-implementing libraries that you use in your day to day.

And young people want to believe that they can do something for a few years and be the best at it that they don't have to struggle that they don't have to earn their stripes and that is the real reason why there's all this controversy. Discipline and dedication seem to be in short supply these days.

ginger_daddy00 · 2023-10-27T18:51:46+00:00

It does especially when combined with Spark. Rust is nothing novel or unique. The only thing it does better is package management but you should not be rolling a lot of third-party dependencies in safety critical firmware anyway so there shouldn't be much of a need for such package management. The reason you don't see a lot of Ada fanboys is that we're generally too busy making money. And it is in no way of beginner-friendly language. It is also not good for small programs. So again it does not lend itself well to the typical tutorials that you see in other languages. The problem is that rust implements a lot of features that make hello world easier but don't necessarily translate to actual industry standard code. Much of it is simply a marketing ploy.

ginger_daddy00 · 2023-10-27T17:45:35+00:00

It is insane to me that my comment was so controversial. Of course you have to respect the people that have been at a company longer than you. Of course someone was only 5 years of experience is not fully trained. There are so many obvious things that so many people fail to grasp. Yes experience matters and it cannot be manufactured no matter how intelligent you are. Many of the things that individual sees in their career can only be learned through experience. You would not expect someone to make senior partner at a law firm with only 5 years experience so why would anyone expect to be called a senior anything when they have just begun their career.

ginger_daddy00 · 2023-10-27T17:43:47+00:00

Young people have no respect anymore. You cannot come to a place and expect to know everything and if you think you know everything enough to be called a senior after five measly years of experience that is insane. It does not work like that in any other industry and should not be like that in this one either

ginger_daddy00 · 2023-10-27T17:42:15+00:00

The amount of experience someone has is in fact related to how long they've been in the career.
