We can just remove the HTML5 entry all together.

My dad first learned to Code in Pascal. Where would he fall?

[-] [email protected] 1 points 1 hour ago

I still do.

I wish they'd open source Delphi (and most of the libraries). Might actually breathe some life back into it.

Can't confirm, I'm old and a nerd and I love C++

The cool kids use AI to code

I used to be very opinionated about programming languages but now I just really love all of them.

Sure some might not be the best tool for some jobs but maintaining a language is insane and just such a mind-blowing endevour.

Happy to see Julia on the list.

Apparently I am a nerd. I accept that.

[-] [email protected] 13 points 21 hours ago

if you have a favorite language that isn't on this, you're a super nerd.

Thankfully I suck at that, but holy crap it is prevelent in this industry. The alcohol abuse is cray. Doesn't help when you travel constantly. I don't travel much anymore, but the people who spend 90+% of the year in the field, while having a family, are fundamentally broken. Fun to party once in a while, but when they do this shit multiple times a week, I don't understand.

Yeah holy shit. When I was starting out and tagged along a senior on a trip he literally hauled a big backpack of spirits with him.

Got out of that industry after a few years when I realized why every senior was drinking. The money was just not worth it for me.

[-] [email protected] 7 points 17 hours ago

Couldn't agree more. Field service is one hell of a drug. Money's good, variety is fun, the chaos and travel are fun too, and you learn a lot quickly. The latter often because some or all of the mfg. plant you're visiting needs you to fix your stuff so they can run, and no one is coming to BFE to help you, lol.

But that all wears off, in time, and it starts to take a huge toll like you described. Never met a long term field service engineer with a healthy home life, or with their health in general. I got out because both of mine were crumbling, for real.

COBOL: You’re a fucking dinosaur

I used to develop with PHP all the time . That was back in 2010 when my teenage soul still had hope and dreams. Can someone still developing tell me what I should use for the backend today? Also I can never understand GIT as a single developer. The fuck is that? I've tried everything to understand.

never understand GIT as a single developer.

I use it to make it easier to work on stuff from my desktop, laptop, from windows or from Linux...

I recommend checking out Python (Django) and Ruby (Ruby on Rails) if you want nice and easy modern Web frameworks that also aren't that weird if you have PHP experience.

Also I can never understand GIT as a single developer. The fuck is that? I've tried everything to understand.

Versioning your code with Git makes it much easier to experiment with new ideas. Cocked up a file? Pull it from the previous version. Create new branches for experiments, merge them in if they work, toss them if they don't, or keep them around just in case, without them ever getting in your way in the "real" version.

And if you keep the code in a server (GitHub etc), that gives you a backup location and makes it easier to work on code on multiple systems.

[-] [email protected] 2 points 10 hours ago

I'm a single developer and I use it. It's a great way to backup your files on the cloud with versionning.

I am old and a nerd and I don’t see Perl on here.

Wait… is it the tiny camel at the bottom?

As an engineer this is extremely offensive. MATLAB is for fucking tryhards.

[-] [email protected] 3 points 17 hours ago

as an R user, what is matlab what is it about

[-] [email protected] 1 points 7 hours ago

It's mainly a tool for working with matrices (matrix laboratory). This is useful for solving ordinary differential equations. Learning Matlab is usually a requirement for first year engineering students. I'm now a licensed chemical engineer, and I haven't used Matlab since sophomore year.

i technicly will get the title of enginner (barely) from my uni course we use r for statistics and data analysis
