Kotlin has the tailrec keyword as well.

Some c/++ compilers on some architectures do it. I've noticed gcc on armv7 will reuse stack for tail calls.

Good Will Hrunting posted:Does Java even have proper tco? I literally haven't used recursion (besides working on these problems lol) in years, when I wrote a custom parser for auditing some huge JSON requests. No, but I believe it's a limitation of JVM rather than Java. Functional languages on JVM use special syntax for equivalent functionality.

Is it worth it to qualify skills in different tech on a resume? I've mostly heard "no" but to say I'm equally proficient in my best and worst tech is not at all fair. But on the flipside I really don't want to have a "skills" section anymore - my work experience pretty much speaks for itself.

At most I'd say e.g. "fluent in C, C++, Java, Python, some familiarity with Go, Javascript, SQL". But yeah, I wouldn't worry about it much.

Do you guys leave yourselves breadcrumbs to help counteract context loss? If so what is your system for helping remember what you were up to before you left work/went on vacation?

Write a plaintext comment into my source code, outside of a comment block. The code won't be syntactically valid until I remove the comment, so it's a good way to say "no dummy, you can't get any work done until you read me."

But on the flipside I really don't want to have a "skills" section anymore - my work experience pretty much speaks for itself. I break my skills section down into three parts: things I'm very good at, things I know decently well, and things I have some familiarity with (and can discuss a little bit in the interview).

I have a legal pad that I write in daily with what needs to get done. Mainly for keeping me focused but also to remind myself where I left off at the end of the day.

withoutclass posted:Do you guys leave yourselves breadcrumbs to help counteract context loss? If so what is your system for helping remember what you were up to before you left work/went on vacation? It’s extremely rare that I leave myself no notes whatsoever. I employ all of these with varying frequency (and there’s probably patterns behind when I use what, but I haven’t paid enough attention to figure them out): Commit message of the form "WIP doing the thing, got to the point where the doohickey works, next step is to whatever ALSO WRITE SOME TESTS GENIUS". Before continuing I’ll back out of the commit. Make a reminder in the iOS Reminders app (with a due date, always set a due date). New document in text editor, write notes to self, leave untitled document sitting atop everything. (This is a text editor that restores all open documents on relaunch, so a reboot or whatever is ok.) Update my checklist in the iOS Notes app. Update the Trello card. Write a note with a pen on some paper and stick it somewhere I'll see it (atop the mouse and/or keyboard are good bets). Write some // TODO: comments. TooMuchAbstraction posted:Write a plaintext comment into my source code, outside of a comment block. The code won't be syntactically valid until I remove the comment, so it's a good way to say "no dummy, you can't get any work done until you read me." Gonna add this to my arsenal.

genki posted:I use a combination of a work notebook and tracking tools. The tracking tools are great for items related to the work I'm doing, and the notebook is more like a todo list where I can list out the basic items I'd like to accomplish for the day (and sketch out things that I might need to visualize and/or take notes or whatever). Oh I get it, yeah makes sense. I use a notepad for that stuff too.

There was some "smart pad" thing which claimed to be like writing on paper but I'm still waiting for the second version before seeing about buying, since the first one had some lag issues.

In other news, today an email came in from a really large company in my region, asking for a freelance "Ethical Hacker" with a rate indication of "as sharp as possible" which is newspeak for as "low as possible". I found this extremely entertaining.

They're very good for having all of your notes in one location and easily sharable with teammates. They're great for follow ups to meetings with said notes and annotations, and even diagrams. That said, you can also just whiteboard + write on a piece of paper and use Microsoft Lens (or I think the default camera on iOS) to "documentize" an image to a PDF. They do a pretty good job fixing lighting and aspects nowadays with that all. I don't have one here at work but I too have been thinking about it.

I keep a todo.txt open in my editor. It contains notes to myself, questions I need more detail about, code snippets, etc. Used to do pen and paper but I liked being able to copy/paste stuff (e.g. a logging snippet with ansi colors and linebreaks, usernames/passwords for testing various roles, etc).

Started a new project two weeks back and I was super nervous they would find out I did not as much backend development as I made it seem (marketing, yay). Two weeks in, I asked for feedback on the two weeks and was told that they are impressed, happy to see the speed at which I see things that need to happen, don't display tunnel vision and consider impact of changes beyond the service I work on and best of all: while striving for quality accept that there is only so much that can be done now. I should do less: worrying about not knowing stuff (I freaked out about not remembering generated sources). So I think I did well and really enjoy coding new stuff in existing code.
