Quoted from ThatOneDude:I almost wrote something very similar. Throughout my career, I've run into programmers who don't understand things like data structures, runtime analysis or even data normalization.
There's nothing worse than a front end developer that claims to be full stack, but adds columns randomly to tables any time he needs them. No design, just the easiest wat to make the UI work. It always blows up later.
Quoted from ThatOneDude:"Why is it that this algorithm works on my 5 element test data but gets nuked by the OOM killer when it's 50,000 elements?"
"Why use a foreign key when I could just put the customer data right in that table?"
Uggg. I have advocated for remedial data structures and algorithm classes in my current position. Some of the code that I see....damn....
Foreign keys? Isn't all that just automatic?
I'm bewildered by how hard sql is to these younger UI oriented devs.
Quoted from ThatOneDude:Eventually, the Arduino boards appeared, and I got back into C/C++
I hadn't written in C/C++ in almost 20 years and just like you, here's the Arduino boards. VS Code is a whole lot better than having to use emacs. I just mess around with LEDs, messaging and triggering events, but it's a blast. I've got random thunderstorms running through my office.
Quoted from cataylox:Anyone need a C programming job? My team has several open at this time. Wish more C programmers were currently available.
What's the going rate for a C job?
Quoted from thekiyote:Heck, I'm a nano user. That's like remedial command line editor. But I'll be honest, I never needed more than that. If I wanted to do something beyond a small edit, I using a gui editor (I'm pretty much exclusively windows these days and use notepad++ for most of my stuff, coding and scripting).
My problem is that I've lived in Visual Studio, SSMS and Powershell ISE for 20 years, so not having intellisense throws me off. In my brain, if intellisense isn't working, something in the project is broken. So, working in VS Code maintains that logic. Developing in python in nano takes some extra brainpower for me.
