“how to problem solve” and “use logic” are, I believe, myths. When you teach someone to implement quicksort, all you’ve done is taught them to implement quicksort. Classroom based lectures and rote memorization do not impart any kind of broader “problem-solving” ability. This is an ex post rationalization by the perpetrators of the education system to justify their own existence. I place the value of what they do very low

If it’s about problem solving and using logic, why do we need to memorize quicksort? That’s not an example of using logic or problem solving

It’s an internet thing. There’s a lot of people online who code but have no jobs. 4chan’s /dpt/ is full of them. They all code in ANSI C or Lisp or something

When I work on web projects at home I don’t use any javascript at all. Just html and css. Interactions are handled via form submission. I’m working on a forum in asp.net mvc without any javascript at all

At work everything I do is in the Javascript/Web world. Typescript backend, webpack react, etc. I use C++ and C# for personal projects because I personally despise Javascript world

Im not an evangelist for windows (I won’t try to convert you) but I’m unashamed of being a software engineer who uses Windows as my main dev platform

Hi I like Windows, I use it as my primary development platform

I have literally never seen whatever this post is referring to

I curse the sadist who decided True should be uppercase in Python

Do older technical people use 1:1 chat? I would think email is more common

Irc isn’t the competitor of xmpp. Discord is

There are people using xmpp? Last time I set up a server and tried using it with Pidgin, I couldn’t find a soul that used it

If its an application I run locally, I rarely grep logs (they’re small enough that I can just ctrl+f). If it’s something running in production with millions of lines of logs, then I agree

I wish all the logs at my company were as beautiful as these terminal logs

The vast majority of software run on Windows these days runs in a web browser. The legacy shit in windows doesn’t impact most software engineers

Ladybird seems almost singularly focused on macOS development. They say that they intend to incrementally move from C++ to Swift

How so? I know literally nothing about ladybird

Yeah but then you either need to compile and redistribute binaries for several platforms, or make sure that each target user has rust/cargo installed. Plus some devs don’t trust compiled binaries in something like an npm package

You haven’t used windows in like 30 years? It’s quite different now lol
