Do you have advice for a software engineer?

idk. maybe it was the thread for questions that don't deserve to be posted in the questions that don't deserve their own thread thread. this is worse than the time all top 5 threads were about apple ngl.

debugging is a great skill to learn, it will also teach you a lot.
always take time to do some cool personal projects, it will keep you motivated and interested in programming cool things. most programming jobs aren't that fun or interesting and the industry is fast reverting back to the stuffy corporate days of the 90s with layers of bureaucracy that will suck your soul out.

mostly yeah. there's still some areas where cool stuff is happening and they're new and in flux enough, like AI.
but other areas have become somewhat ossified compared to 8-10 years ago.

Stop doing software while you still can

Learn assembly, it'll make you better at optimizing normal code.

Anonymous 10-03-23 23:35:08 No.18725

Design, program, and fail. Learn from your mistakes for the next time.

How does that work? Do you actually look at the assembly generated by your compiler?

When you start a new programming language, look up on google images some pictures of the source code, so you have an idea of what coding in it looks like

>le wrong generation
All you missed out on was a couple years of inflated FAGMAN salaries in a tiny high cost of living area. There are still fun developer jobs, and if anything you can get WFH at small companies a lot easier if that floats your boat. Programming is still fun.

I've honestly never met someone like this at work. They mostly haunt free software IRC, I'm not even sure they're employed. I do tease my trans friend that she'd be better off as a catgirl developer however.

trvthnvke, same for me, it's a myth started by transhumanist unemployed ""coders"" to cope with the difference between their desire to be and belief that they are good coders, and the objective truth of the objective reality, by associating their apparel with
Most of xem i see online work in You'll Never Be A Real Programmer(tm) languages, like Python, JS, some Rustranshumanists too.
(half joking)

Great advice for the few Chads wishing to do compiled languages, but nowadays most is done in shiterpreted languages

>>25673
That's good advice if you want to write 20 lines in the language. OP mentionned he wants to be a software engineer, not a ""coder""" though. When you are engineering software, there is way more than just the syntax. You can't know the performance, ecosystem, use cases, job market situation, build system etc… from the syntax

Learn C and Lisp. The former teaches you things about memory that most languages are unwilling to show you, the latter teaches you things about compilers that most languages aren't even remotely equipped to show you. If you can learn these two, you can learn basically any other language in existence.

>>25770
I know a good number of trans programmers in real life who do good work. The internet is not real life.
