I don’t get it. I see the majority of us, developers, writing about software without having a deep knowledge on the subject. The author’s shed is no more to me like the usual post “I built Twitter in Rust on a weekend”. Should we all stop giving “PRO tips”?
- Paul_S 5y agoYes, because he is giving dangerous advice. Hey! This weekend I operated on my cat, pro tip, nail the cat down to avoid him moving. If you write a twitter in rust then giving the wrong advice will at worst spur someone to create another successful startup.
- mminer237 5y agoYes? If you're just starting to code, you shouldn't give out advice like you know everything. You're not a pro and you shouldn't be masquerading as one. You should be listening to advice, not giving it. You really want advice everywhere of "Coding pro tip: always make all variables strings because then you can put numbers or letters in there and you don't have to use multiple types."?
