Why Learn Multiple Programming Languages?

They own the IP they can do what they e want. Seem like every few years some creator freaks out because they didn't like what you did and take it down. It is in their right to do so. Free Use can only be decided by a judge in the US. Until more band together a fight then nothing will change.

Frameworks come and go. I rather give the credit to the creator not the company. It solved there problem and open sourcing it benefits them more not the community. Now they don't need to train new Facebook developers on some internal framework. Now 1000s of engineers move their framework forward vs only the ones they pay.

Alien Truth 4 years ago

So very human of us to think our truths are some other beings truths. Maybe they proved math isn't true? Maybe they don't think in any way like we do.

I think this really depends on what they are asking you to do. If part of the job is say writing documentation, moving and documenting your work with Jira tickets, report progress, or helping your team accomplish the sprint then maybe you need to build those skills to at least be ok at it. If it is to manage people or move up in job title then I would agree maybe that isn't something you should try for. You were not very specific on the details.

Also growth isn't always just building on strengths. It is also knowing where you are short on skill and learning more to at least do that skill ok and then maybe delicate or trade tasks with someone that is better at it. It is about understanding yourself.

This statement is what the older generation and companies want you to think. It doesn't have to be that way and companies and management need to change or people will leave for companies and management that think differently and want you to feel successful.

The event nature seems like a light version of Erlang or Elixir without the power of those. Erlang and Elixir can run millions of light weight processes though vs 1000s. Still so many questions though like what is deployment like? Build something using just workers so we can see the power of it.

Simple hashed passwords and a few emails are not hard to make myself so I do that. Also makes it much easier to tie in roles which are much different for each project. It really isn't that hard to build a simple one yourself and gives you much more control and one less dependency on an outside service.

For small projects why do you need the scale? I feel like once you need the scale serverless is the way more expensive then even managed Kubernetes. I still think serverless is hosting services way to make far more money with the illusion that it is easier when it really isn't. Logging is normally a huge pain. Local dev is usually a huge pain. Managing versions is a pain over just git branches especially over multiple environments. It is a pain to setup different environments and full CI/CD. In then end they might be ok with prototypes but real big systems they are huge pain but that is just my real life experience.

2050 local first development will be the only way to go. No more servers but devices communicating via local networks with maybe some online backup at the most. It will be only offline mobile apps and web apps that will thrive.
