Don't use garbage collection or high level dynamic typing when building web servers. It's important to understand what the machine is actually doing at a low-level. Implementing REST API's in C++ will write code slower than others, sure, but you'll gain so much in your fundamentals of how memory management and OS processes work.
- roenxi 2y agoThe more direct comparison might be "don't use compilers for the first few years; learn assembly directly instead". LLMs aren't going away, it doesn't make sense to learn how to do things LLMs already do now and are only going to get better at.
