I am a dev who work mostly on C-only codebases and it's so... relaxing when I get the opportunity to write C++ so I can use stuff like std::vector or std::string. I think of C++ as a scripting language. On the other hand, I'm not looking forward to reading other people's C++.
- hnthrowaway0328 2y agoMind if I ask what do you do? I'm trying a long shot to break into some C jobs but so far stuck with my data engineering job(yeah I know it's a long shot)
- dyingkneepad 2y agoSorry I can't give details about my specific job. Companies that require C programmers: - Companies that manufacture hardware (drivers are often in C). People often think little when they think about Hardware, but it's much more than usually comes to mind. I bet you didn't think about Cars and Tractors when you thought Hardware. - Companies that develop operating systems (like Google, which develops multiple OSes, Microsoft, Sony, Nintendo, Cisco, Synology, Apple, Samsung, etc). - Companies that use or write low-level system libraries or software that needs to be absolutely fast (think OpenSSL (security), networking stuff, databases, gaming engines, virtualization, compilers, AI, virus scanners, etc). - Companies that do Open Source stuff (a lot of Linux stuff is still written in C). Good luck!
- hnthrowaway0328 2y agoThanks for the information. I guess my next step is to join the right company and slowly transfer to a good position.
