I feel like I enjoy whatever programming language I am using the most of at any point in time. Right now I like Ruby a lot, I like Java a lot (gently caress you owns), Python, C++, Javascript, whatever. I don't get why people don't like some languages, they are all good at poo poo Also I don't know lots of languages and have no urge to learn things like Haskell, mostly because I would rather smoke weed and chill than learn a programming language. I assume this makes me a bad programmer, but idc

Internaut! posted:that reminds me, so that flash guy I mentioned who interviewed at google didn't get the job but he's determined to learn the foundations of CS and whatnot so I said to get cormen and k&r but is there an accessible book that describes computer languages/compilers/runtimes, like the process from writing a line of HLL code through to it being executed dragon book (lol) JawnV6 posted:that spans like 3-4 disciplines and i doubt theres a single "accessible" ref that covers the entire thing, but H&P qualitative and the dragon book cover most of it gently caress you

Gogey posted:yeah I heard it was just worse in finance but I guess not necessarily so? I've interned at SIG (http://www.sig.com/) and Amazon and SIG was definitely a more stressful environment. You could tell that the smallest mistake meant losing tons of money, it turned me off working for a financial company. Amazon is a lot more laid back, but it may be a west coast/east coast thing idk

Apocadall posted:while it has been enjoyable and i like the way the teaching itself is set up i have had a few people tell me that i should do more with java or learn c++ before using js because it will create bad habits I'm not the best programmer in the world, my code is sometimes dumb and I do dumb things, but I don't like this idea that you should learn x language to be a good programmer and blah blah blah to me programming is all about setting up problems and solving them, different languages allow you to solve problems in different ways, just identify what you think the best way is to do something and do it. if someone tells you it is poo poo, ask why and decide if it is better. if you think of a better way of doing things, do it that way. just do things the best you know how and eventually you will be a good programmer (over a longer period time)

JawnV6 posted:it's not "learn x language to be a good programmer" thats stupid i agree, but i assumed that people were telling him to learn c++ or java because they think that is the "right way to code" and all those scripting languages are just hobby languages i guess what i mean is you should learn about all the cool stuff in programming, but not because its in java or because its in c++. you should learn it because it is useful and teaches you a new way of thinking about problems

tef posted:https://plus.google.com/110981030061712822816/posts/KaSKeg4vQtz quote:Many of the security engineers at Google happen to be fans of Ruby -- both as an intrinsically secure language, and also as a nice, expressive language for writing auditing scripts and other security analysis tools. It wound up being fairly easy for me to get security sign-off for using Ruby in production for my first project at Google. In contrast, it was almost career-endingly difficult for me to get the same sign-off from our highly conservative systems programmers. Shaggar is showing signs of programming conservatism?
