A little off topic -> I was reading the comments about learning to code through Java. A lot of people are against C/C++ and majority of schools uses Java/Python nowdays.

Ofc the language at the end doesn't really matters, but I am conviced ( mostly because I only embrace MY learning experience ) that using a language like C helps you get into the programming mindset better.

I mean, you don't need to understand what a smart pointer is, but once you seen that the object you have created in your own implementation of a vector got copied over and over, you will think twice every time you write a function with a return statement in every language for the rest of your life.

"There was always some guy in the back-row of the class with a trench coat and messy beard who let his feelings about the superiority of C++ be known."

Reletable

I mean, I use microsoft tools even for compile on Linux nowdays.

It's hard to forget. :D

I had a great colleague who started programming at ~35. And the thing I noticed with him, which I strongly agree, is that you should pick something you like and start a little project. Nowdays is kinda impossible get stuck, StackOverflow + Youtube pratically solves every problem you can go into while learning.

Basically if you really do have passion and conclude any little project you started ( it counts lot of points in cv, sometimes more than references...) I think you can get easily hired in low time as a Junior programmer.

I noticed when I started to exercise more seriously few years ago, all the pain from working 8h+ in front of a PC magically disappeared. But I think the key isn't just do the exercises for a good posture. Just commit to something a little more ( gym, tai chi, whatever you want ) and your body automagically will handle better the "bad habits".

TLDR: I noticed a lot of difference between just doing postural work and a fully committed "sport".

And nowadays we use it just for make sure that buffer won't overflow xD

you really think your professors, your future colleagues or even your fellow students have nothing to teach you?

I really like this. I mean, it happens often that I learn something from colleagues who have less experience that me just because while they searching for a correct way to do something ( which I already know ) they find interesting logically based solutions that maybe are not the best, but bring with them experience of some function or logic that I do not know

I certainly don't want to start a war and I'm glad there are some who think differently. I have many very good colleagues who love JS and love its portability, I respect that. But for me it remains a badly conceived language, A technical debt that penalises the progress of browsers and mobile phones. It remains famous only because it is simple and ubiquitous. And I am deeply convinced that sooner or later it will be replaced by some interpreted language that is more consistent and less error prone (The end that PHP is doing, hopefully?).

I'm not criticising the article per se, that such work is cool (hence the "technically cool").

Peace and love.

Technically cool.

JS should be erased from the earth, tho. ( Expecially for gaming :'D )

I didn't image there was ppl actually caring about anything but the "search" tab.

I never felt to be engaged that far on LinkedIn, I used it to find job, and that's it.

There was this time where I wrote shitty code for a imminent super urgent release and I did not think about all implications.

I had to work all the week after 10 hours per day just by fixing a lot of data I messed up on several clients.

Yeah, I feel I've been there.

Basically the operators disabled the "emergency break" because it would ocasionally cause the cable car to stop and they couldn't afford to lose a day of work. 3 people charged with manslaughter

Good "old" SFML, I made a lot on that. But now I feel(&fear) is dying.

It's very well written and, in my experience, it beats SDL in everything ( from readability to functionalities )
