Lately I've been obsessed with the idea of code readability. I tried out different things, and ended up creating a simple transpiler that allows a new way to organize code that gre…

I only program my side projects on the weekends, when I come back to the code I realize how poorly it's been written, especially if I've skipped a weekend. I'm really striving to m…

I was writing a small but semi algorithm-heavy library in C# that didn't rely much on other libraries. I later decided to port it to Java and realized that the more C#-like I had w…

My preference recently for side projects has been imperative/procedural style of programming. I prefer it to OO and FP hands down. To me code is so much easier to read when you don…

> I feel like I must find a work not related to computer science I'm not sure if you've already tried this, but in addition to applying to jobs related to your side project I sugge…

> iOS developers do not face a huge demand like they have seen years ago This is an apt observation. The number of jobs are seriously lacking for Objc/Swift, I was lucky to do an i…

I second this. The whole .Net ecosystem is built really well on object-oriented design principles and I've learned a ton about how DI/IoC and SRP/ISP designs get implemented since …

Did you reply to the wrong thread? Your reply would make a whole lot more sense in a completely different context.

My son is a lot younger than yours with a different set of struggles (currently he's just preschool age) but he also appears to be completely normal to people who haven't spent a l…

I agree that switching paradigms is not easy. The part that sounded like a joke and still sounds like a joke is downplaying the difficulty it is to learn OO abstractions and patter…

> OO abstractions and patterns OTOH, taught essentially in "elementary school" which possibly makes them seem easier to understand What did I just read, you're joking right?

What if learning "how to study" is just a way to distract yourself from learning the material? Finding a learning process might sound more fun and creative, but more than likely it…

I do a lot of back-end web service work and I really enjoy using unit test debugging, it's really fast and gives you a good clean starting point. The times that I have to hook up t…

> junior developers which use the same hammer for every nail This is what is weird about programming is that you only need to know a subset of things to build stuff so it gives a l…

I think I would actually really love this environment if executed in a healthy way. Lately I've become a big believer in embracing my environment in positive ways if possible. A fe…

I'm currently in the interview process for a Mid-level position, but my experience situation is kind of different from most as I interned for several years while going to school to…

I agree that it reads a lot better and if you have to scroll horizontally it reads a whole lot worse, as a C# dev I have to constantly scroll back and forth to read a particular co…

> Its verry dificult because you cant verify what people are thinking, you cant debug it and you cant start over -- you have to guess a lot I think there is a way to verify what pe…

> Why is it acceptable online? I agree with you, it's not acceptable (and that is an excellent analogy). Aren't content consumers also to blame here as well though? Viewers put up …

I think its extremely hard to know what your true self is. Like you said about codependent culture, it seems that there is a great deal of unhealthy social conditioning to unwind i…

I still think the 2 are more related than they appear to be. I saw a comment on programming reddit (in regards to this same article) about how developers use constructive thinking …

I wish I could get to the bottom of this. I've seen all kinds of arguments for and against whether or not to unit test and how much / when unit testing should happen. I haven't bee…

So as you say good testers are really good at breaking things, so what makes a developer really good? Maybe there is a related skill seeing testing and developing are related (test…
