Which Is Honestly Because You Are A Good Programmer

Which is honestly because you are a good programmer

Developers who claim 1 programming language is the best sounds like a craftsman claiming 1 tool is the best.

But when you see that "craftsman" hammer nails in and solder with a saw you realise it is not craftsman... it is just an idiot...

Or when you see your firm having implemented C++ metaprogramming in giant python scripts and yaml files which generate .c files... because they want to only program in C ... I just... I don't... WHY was this ever done???

Right tool for right job. And all tools have flaws and quirks

I love programming but I hate every programming language.

And it is done by saying "This is unacceptable!"

It is done by demanding higher standards.

It is stopped and delayed by "Other places have it worse you know" and "That is just how it is"

The post I just reblogged made me think about "For sale: baby shoes, never worn" and how, now, in our time of dramatically reduced infant and child mortality and increased abundance, the more statistically likely interpretation of that six-word story is this:

"Extended family and friends have gifted us too much stuff for our kid. They didn't even get a chance to wear these shoes before they outgrew them." And if that's not an indication of amazing progress, I don't know what is.

Ooooh!

But Denmark have decided to switch tk the American model!

So we have cut funding of public healthcare by 20%. Then we doubled that and gave it to private healthcare!

Now we get to have a slightly worse healthcare system with longer waiting time AND pay more taxes AND not everyone can access healthcare.

AND as a main bonus, Danes now experience private healthcare having as short waiting times as as public USED to have, while the public have long wait times.

So now the Danes are in favor of MORE private healthcare so we can get to the american model!

It is VERY upsetting!

Ooooh! That is a good idea for sharing how you study/work!

I tried filming a study timelapse for the first time!!! I think it came out okay?? Lemme know in the notes :3

Today was actually pretty good. I'm being consistent in my 8-5 sleep schedule, and the mornings are always so peaceful. I've started posting a bit on my studygram too, but really, that's only for trying something new. I'm a Tumblr user through and through :D

I studied OS (operating systems). Pretty interesting so far. We haven't started Computer Networks class yet, and I'm kinda looking forward to it. Hopefully all these theory heavy subjects don't kick my ass (narrows eyes at CA during last semester)

I sometimes help people out by mentoring them on topics of programming and the surrounding fields. This both makes me and them better at programming and I very much enjoy doing it :) Some feel better about asking for that kind of help if they can pay, so I set up an account at buy-me-a-coffee. Feel free to donate, if this helps you help me help you.
