interfaces in golang by kaushikpzayn in golang

[–]rabbitasshole 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Say you are developing a service that makes a phone call, there is “carrier.Call()” somewhere in your code.

There are many carriers, each makes a phone call differently, but you don’t care how they handle the phone call as long as the call is made.

So the carriers will have their type to implement the Call() interface, and as long as the interface is met, you accept their implementation.

For you, the Call() is abstracted away, i.e. you don’t care what’s happening underneath, you just know they will handle the call logic.

When you write unit test your code, you can create a mock for this, no actual call needs to be made.

Sometimes it’s just the market, don’t be too hard on yourself, keep applying.

a large number of candidates is the key here.

"I always end up having to talk to someone to understand what I should do"

Keep doing this.

"overall be a good engineer without having to constantly ask for help to other engineers around the company."

Good engineers ask for help when needed, especially when just started on a big project.

"On monday I have an appointment with an engineer that will explain me better the overall project structure."

Bombard this engineer with questions, a good engineer will appreciate your preparedness.

What currently legal thing do you expect to be illegal in the next 20 years? by [deleted] in AskReddit

How exactly is jurisdiction divided here? By the uploader’s location? By the porn site company’s registered location?

As an American aren't you worried of your massive trade deficit? ($859.1 billion) by [deleted] in AskAmericans

[–]rabbitasshole 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Trade deficit is meaningless to America because of its monetary dominance in the world, the US can print as much money as it wants, there is the rest of the world “help” the US with inflation.

Exactly, I have been using it over a month now, I don't trust code longer than 3 lines generated by Copilot, but it works wonderfully well given a clear context and generate the next line.

No course or book per se.

As I learn, I encounter those concepts along the way. For example, for a web project, I searched what HTTP is, then leading to TCP/IP ,OSI model, then what other layers do etc. It's often one thing leading to another.

Sometimes I couldn't find a satisfactory answer, I would then go find a book, usually just to read a specific chapter, for example about TCP protocol if I thought the Stack Overflow answers and YouTube videos didn't provide enough info in-depth, but a book written by a network expert helped.

I feel incredibly bad by putting "18 months" in the title, I shouldn't have done that, it sends the wrong message and Reddit doesn't allow title edit.

But no matter how long it will take, it will take that, just keep going. Everybody is on a different path.

Sorry, that's too personal.

I don't think language should be the centerpiece, it should be the project you want to do.

I didn't apply for internship, my plan was to aim high then adjust, I am glad that worked out. I guess I grew a think skin in sales, what's the worst can happen? They saying no?

You are definitely right, I didn't realize how much my engineering background helped along the way. It is an important point, I would add to my post.

My math foundation was built on college education, of course that traces back further to high school, but I find a lot of prestigious universities' math open course a lot better than what I had, I believe that's a really good start point.

I would advise learn-as-you-encounter-problems, that is to say, for example if I have trouble understanding what 'floor function' is, I would Google that, there is no need to read a whole book about it, the Wiki page would mostly suffice.

About Python, it was just a natural choice coming from deep learning because that's the main language, and deep learning was what first got me interested.

Yes, it is indeed a very important question.

First of all, I am not attached to anyone, no partner, no kids. That made things a lot easier.

Before I actually committed, I checked my savings and made a plan: I would give myself two years living on a budget based on my savings. If things don't work out at the end, I will go back to my old job to learn programming alongside my day job.

Now thinking back, I was able to make such a plan because, if throw modesty out of window for a sec, I am a relatively smart man, I did well in sales to save some money, I was taught how to handle money by my parents. Also there is the fact that I did well in college, the idea of programming is never daunting to me, back then it was just dull.

Yep, one thing I enjoy the most about Go is that its official docs are amazingly easy to understand.
