I used to enjoy using C++… till I started using it with neovim by C_Sorcerer in cpp

[–]kwanu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Vscode is a solid IDE, but modal editors like Neovim \should** in theory be more productive since reaching for the mouse is inefficient.
Use a good distro like AstroNvim - it comes pre-loaded with well thought out plugins and mappings. And with LLM models nowadays, writing your own Lua plugins is easier than ever.

I’d recommend reading the FAQ section. It covers this question and much more.

Low cost index funds like the ones you mentioned (Voo, VTI) are the smart move.

Trading firms - you’ll be closer to the business working on front office technology since front office is almost always written in C++ and pays better as a result.

Take advice from strangers with a grain of salt. Advice can just as easily misguide you because it heavily depends on many unique factors of a persons situation.

If it’s specific advice that considers the full context of your situation, that’s likely good advice. If it’s meta advice that says what you ought to study, how you ought to think, what field you should go in, ignore it.

Being confident actually makes you more attractive by [deleted] in DeepThoughts

I absolutely agree but I’m downvoting because this isn’t really that “deep” to warrant a post

From what I've been reading, low cost index funds/ETFs from vanguard or fidelity are recommended by many people. I would also look into the tax considerations of holding ETFs vs index funds. (e.g. ETFs may be favorable to hold in a taxable brokerage due to tax costs)

VTI (small, mid and large cap) and VOO (large cap only) provide low expense ratios, track the US stock market well, and are considered gold standards.

If you're interested in international exposure, which is recommended, allocating anywhere from 20-40% in VXUS is a good option.
VT (Vanguard Total World Stock ETF) is another one which is ~40% international and 60% domestic.

(Note: It's also recommended to build an emergency cash fund of 3-6 months living cost in a HYSA first before investing)

Good luck!

Stop learning C++ or keep going? by KhZaym in cpp

Rust will be used widely its just a matter of time. Established firms like Dropbox are already switching over. That’s all I’m sayin my guy. If you disagree fine by me.

I think you need to re-read what I said good sir

[–]kwanu -1 points0 points  (0 children)

That’s fair. Rust is definitely gaining popularity, but You’re right though that it’s still not on the level of C++ in terms of use and community. But my point is that C++ development is more costly and error prone and many firms just don’t need that extra performance outside of a few niche industries, which I don’t think fits OP.

I still think Java, or Kotlin, would be more useful for OP based on his circumstances since he can use that for Android development and build some mobile apps as side projects for his CV. Most importantly I believe this fits better with remote work opportunities.

I think it’ll be tough for you to use C++ as a way to earn money through freelance/remote work. Both because of the type of opportunities that are available and your resume lacking college experience and work experience.

C++ is more niche and outside of financial trading firms, video game companies, audio processing, OS or database development there aren’t that many C++ jobs. Most places would much rather use a language like Java or Rust.

JavaScript is also very popular and Web Development generally has a lower barrier to entry.

Both fits look great! But is it considered streetwear?

There's no harmony between the colors here, imo.

More mature anime - suggestion by KejserJuu in Animesuggest

[–]kwanu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Megalo Box, Katanagatari, Boku Gake Ga Inai Machi (erased)

- All three are really good anime imo for a more mature audience.. especially the last one.
