Learn SQL and you will be able to work with any data-related app.
Learn HTML and you will be able to make an UI out of nowhere.
Learn GIT and you will be able to share your work with others.
Learn unix shell so you can deploy all that shit and conquer the world.
- garysieling 8y agoSQL is incredibly valuable, it also allows you to do a lot of analysis to triage tickets or to get business insights (how many users does this feature affect, etc)
- chubot 8y agoYes it feels like SQL, HTML, and shell are ubiquitous and powerful technologies that most people think they know, but probably don't. Certainly I could have learned more about them in the first decade of my career. 15 years into it, this knowledge continue to pay dividends. I like this contrarian advice: rather than chasing the latest new thing, learn SQL, HTML, and shell. They continue to exist because they do things well that Java, Python, and Go don't. I suspect that will still be true in 10 years, so it's a good thing for new engineers to invest in. (Learning the foundations of git is good too, although the outer layers are arbitrary and nonsensical.)
