Statements like "every programmer" are bad as they usually mean "every low level programmer" or "every web programmer" or similar.
For example why is it important that every programmer knows about SEO?
- halloij 9y agoIt's a clickbait title. Should be changed... Sure, it's an interesting list, but no. Not every programmer needs or would want to know.
- domlebo70 9y agoIt's not meant to be taken literally.
- ship_it 9y agoIt shouldn't be advertised like that.
- afarrell 9y agoThere's no indication of that, so how do you know?
- oddlyaromatic 9y ago>These are resources I can recommend to every programmer regardless of their skill level or tech stack > Highly opinionated . Not backed by science. This kind of indicated that to me, at least. Also the format of the title is just inherently daft and a rhetorical device that summarizes the kind of list it is. Like "things to do before you die", or "ten things you won't believe Michael Jordan sat on". We all have our own version of this list in our heads. This person just published theirs. Also it says: >P.S. You don't need to know all of that by heart to be a programmer. But knowing the stuff will help you become better!
- andai 9y agoSEO is largely about understanding how people think and phrase their questions. If you're ever going to write something and want other people to read it, they typically have to find it first. Even if the person has already found your project or your docs, following SEO principles will make them easier to navigate. Here I'm referring to the "stuff people type into search boxes" aspect of SEO, not the "dirty tricks" aspect.
- baldfat 9y agoI find that learning how to work with list is like having a crescent wrench in your tool box. Not every tool box have one but I sure think they should. If you don't know list you won't know when that is the right solution. I have seen many people just use a SQLite DB for something as simple as a 20 item list.
- auggierose 9y agoYep, I guess you really didnt read that article :D The List in the title is not the datatype ...
- baldfat 9y agoI did the other guy didn't :)
- soneca 9y agoThe same about all the stuff regarding equity and stock options. Currently looks like a list about what every web developer that works for funded startups should know.
