For personal projects and prototypes i believe it’s fine, but when you consume the electricity of mid-size countries just because you prefer to write your production code in convenient languages don’t lecture others about ecology and climate change (i am not refering to you).

That’s a possibility.

Developers should go back writing efficient code in lower level programming languages to stop wasting CPU cycles for stupid reasons, like not wanting to use types, or something more stupid than that.

It’s a little curse to be remotely passionated about programming and be a programmer nowadays. Some companies make it extremely dull and toxic with all their additional requirements and managerial practices. But there’s hope, there are good companies or teams, and eventually if you stay long enough you will find your place.

That was my case.

The only lesson you need to learn is to make distinction between your interests, side projects and hobbies and the actual work you need to do ar work. If they overlap that’s amazing, if not you need to adapt. You need to give the company what the company wants (so you can get paid), and to yourself what you want, so you can be fulfilled.

Great story.

For me the experience is different, but to be honest i am spending more time in the terminal and the browser than notifying what the DE is actually missing.

I mean, i have panel on the bottom with the open apps, a few shortcuts, the network manager, the Bluetooth manager and the calendar. I am not missing anything.

I also run Mint, and things were extremely stable for as long I can remember.

It would be C++. Its versatile enough to do everything with it.

They force you think of o(n) and train you better than anything else on how to write your functions (but not how to organise them).

I have around 600 leetcode exercises solved, and there’s a big difference in skill between the person i was before leetcode and the person i am now.

There’s definitely a ladder, for me it was constant work, rather than hard work.
