That seems overkill

Doesn’t matter, the point is that, if it starts with “is” then you automatically know it’s a boolean.

If you have time then try working out and doing sports. It sounds asinine, but I’ve found that exerting yourself increases your levels of energy in the long term. Even something small, a little bit at a time will be greatly beneficial. Also try doing it with someone else and try having an active social life that will motivate you to go out of the house and stop spending all the evening alone on the couch watching YouTube (which is really detrimental, ask me how I know it).

Like the Romans said “mens sana in corpore sano” (you need a healthy body to have a healthy mind)

bit, Nibble, Byte, Word, doubleword, longword, quadword, double-quadword, verylongword, halfword

They check all Imperial criteria:

• confusing names
• some used only in some systems
• size depends on where you are
• some may overlap
• doesn’t manage to cover all the possible needs, but do you really need more than 64 bits?
• would probably cause you to crash a rocket

Some joined when the rules stated that you could choose. Some others are just waiting to meet conditions that will allow them to enter the Eurozone (like Croatia did last year)

The number of job applications using Java as a shorthand for Javascript…

Yes, but I’m not sure if we want to open the “programming language can of worms”.

There’s B, C, C++, C#, Objective-C, D, E, F, F#, F* and so many more. Also, they may or may not have anything to do with each other

Ok, I’m a c# developer and I use async await quite extensively. Is it different in JS? Or am I missing something?

Yeah, proper documentation is not done with comments in code, but it’s a project in and of itself. Proper documentation is also fucking hard and I have no idea how people (in open source projects) can do it. It’s so fucking boring and tedious, especially when there are a million interesting problems you could tackle instead. Mad respect for people writing documentation, seriously.

I also hate writing comments and prefer to just write out everything in code.

Emily I think. Last I checked yes, but she said she was taking some time away from cameras for obvious reasons

Well, I understand it removes the french language, right? /s

Yeah… that’s literally my job… but keep on gatekeeping, don’t let my existence stop you.

I wonder what’s this “good software” (you meant language?) that doesn’t require an IDE to code efficiently.

I don’t. Looked it up on Google, not that hard. I also never use git from the terminal, I know I could, but I don’t and if you were to ask me off the top of my head how to use it from the cli, I probably wouldn’t be able. Not because I can’t use git, I just can’t be bothered to remember all the commands when a gui is available and does the exact same thing I needed to do anyway. If and when I’ll need to use the terminal for git, I’ll check the docs for the exact syntax.

Again, knowing the exact syntax it’s not what defines a software engineer, IMO.

Tbf, I looked it up on Google. I know you can do everything you can with Visual Studio also in the CLI, but never bothered checking out the specific commands. 2 second search on Google returned donet build.

A software engineer isn’t defined by what commands he knows or what functions he can remember off the top of his head or what languages he used to write hello world. Those are easily Googlable things that have little to no value irl. The ability to actually solve a problem or build an architecture, a system, even if only in pseudocode is much much more valuable than knowing any specific command.

Case in point, I routinely Google stuff I already used or self reference previous code I’ve written cause I can’t remember how I did certain things. Nothing wrong with that.

I’ve written a pretty big application for my employer in visual studio. Never once have I run a “dotnet build” command. Only ever used the little play button. Guess I’m no software engineer

The real software engineers are those who can 2 minute Google “how to build with cli” their Hello world console app.
