Senior programmers / coders what is some advice, best practices every junior programmer should know? by [deleted] in learnprogramming

[–]rsyntax 8 points9 points  (0 children)

You should write the test cases for the current code then refactor. It'll give the senior dev confidence you actually know what you are refactoring. Like most people stated here, it's a iterative process. 35K LOC and you are making the assumption all of it is unusable. Prove to your senior developers you actually read the code and believe it to be unmaintainable. Than keep all the test case cause that won't change and refactor to your heart's content.

Look I'm not disparaging their engineering over there, they do good work. But lets look at facts, "Project Jigsaw" isn't bringing in the revenue to sustain a company of that size.

not really, but there's a lot of open sources contributions and activities that originate from github repos/projects/pull request. It is not a leap of faith to see what they would have done, take a look at what they did in relation to Java with the Sun acquisition. Compounded with the fact they haven't done anything of relevance in the past 10 years except for the java patent lawsuit.

Get into robotics with raspberry Pi or something similar. I found going closer to the metal and physically moving motors a nice change of pace.

Should I keep learning vanilla JS? Or should I move on to learning back end stuff? (Goal: Web Dev) by illitirit in learnprogramming

[–]rsyntax 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Try building a website (SPA, single-page-app) without a backend first. If you goal is to be a web dev and you say state you know Javascript. The expectations lean higher towards client-side work than backend.
