I used to be pretty good at programming but now I hate it so I just do whatever because the answer to every loving architecture question is "who loving cares, we're gonna throw it out in a year or two anyway, do whatever the gently caress you want"

regularizer posted:I'm about to finish the codecademy tutorial for python and want some recommendations for what to do next for a more in-depth understanding of python before I move on to another language? I want to learn how to do GUIs, and I was thinking of trying to build a 2-player chess game, but I was recommended PyQT in another thread which the poster said doesn't have any tutorials so that's not particularly helpful. I used wxpython and it wasn't awful

the best form of interview I've heard of is "come work at our company for 2-3 days. We'll pay you at standard contractor rates. we'll give you our decision at the end of the third day.". that was a friend who went through it and he said it was awesome as hell and I gotta agree, that would own. the best form of interview I've given is just an abbreviated form of that where the guy pair programs with me for 4 hours just doin whatever poo poo I was gonna do that day.

like, just find a problem you faced and ask them how they'd fix it. talk to em. watch em write the codes. you ain't gotta make up some weird rear end nerd problem to solve, just talk about the poo poo you, you know, the poo poo you actually do.

I think whatever mainstream language you want is fine, the problem is that poo poo keeps changing and new responses are required. there is too much change, and too fast. we have built our houses on sand.

there's nothing particularly terrible in js, it's got about as many warts as most, the problem is that it's crammed into into the browser talking http to everything, which is about the worst possible platform for complex applications.

Soricidus posted:the terrible part is what isn't in js. such as, e.g., any concept of libraries or modules or namespaces or anything, anything at all, that isn't pasting files together and praying they use compatible tricks to pretend the language supports libraries or modules or namespaces. you can say the same thing about C it's annoying but you just live with it
