idk i'm trying to pick and choose my time

i've had school taking up time. i have to get some sort of job this summer; it's gonna be some retail thing, i've got actual projects i want to do (things in javascript, because that's what i know). so that leaves like not a lot of pure learning time

i'd like to learn c, or maybe lisp, but i don't have anything i'm working on that would really benefit from another language, or any projects i want to start that could use another language.

and plus there's so much more poo poo i have to learn besides just languages. i want to learn redis (not that there's much to learn), mongodb, oh, also how to better-use actual SQL dbs, some basic devops stuff (migrations, deploys, etc). i'd like to learn how to do concurrent programming, wanna play around with functional languages, etc., etc.

oh and i also really need to learn mobile web development. maybe even like iphone app development.

so i have to pick and choose. right now i'm doing emberjs stuff because it's an undeveloped ecosystem where i have a chance to really contribute, i'm pretty good at javascript, and a project i'm working on needed a js mvc framework and i found emberjs easier to get started with than backbonejs.

cool i really like how not only did i mention that libraries exist to mitigate callback hell/spaghetti code, i also namedropped a specific one, and yet you still used this as a point

cool none of that matters because you live in bfe without any ambitions for leaving

the demand for halfway decent devs is so strong out here now that fresh grads are regularly making 100k+ and recruiters are basically going nuts trying to place any talent

what excuse can you possibly come up with

my excuse for not moving there yet is I am graduating this year and since I have a fulltime dev job for the university I can stay here and get a masters for $0.00 (actually I have to pay fees but no tuition).

I'm not sure if im actually going to stick around here long enough for that or not though.

the opportunity cost of that is much more than $0

and in a way, the desktop IS having great success, but only on iOS.

huh. i hadn't thought about it, but you're right. iOS is receiving way more native code than other platforms are
