I bounce between WSL2 running on windows 10 and an M1 mbpro max. TL;DR is buy an M1/M2 Mac if you want to buy a laptop. I like both setups, but only because I’m done jumping through most of the wsl hoops. If you go with windows, be sur

Oops you’re absolutely right. I always thought this was one of the drawbacks of private institutions. Thanks for the info/correction

Newbie OO q: What’s the benefit/use case of sealing or making an object final? My experience is in javascript so I wonder why I’d ever need something like Object.seal or Object.freeze. Is it really that difficult to maintain object ins

Ah gotcha that makes sense and would definitely be nice

Why not just write an extension that does this yourself if you’ve wanted it for 5 years? Not trying to be snarky, but running `code -n TAB_NAME` after dragging a tab with some modifier held doesn’t seem like it’d be all too tricky. I semi-r

I would also like to hear people’s thoughts on this. Considering pulling the trigger on this tomorrow morning or just getting an M1 Pro/Max

Thanks! Interesting to hear from someone who started with Go and transitioned to TS

Yeaaaa hearing c called high level makes me wonder what word would even describe the js/ts/Python I’m familiar with…

Code complete has been on my list for a while and this definitely bumps it up that list! I like your recommendation about finding a book on subject area in particular. Thanks!

Hey thanks for the reply. This was really insightful and I really appreciate you taking the time! The most helpful part was definitely where you tell me I’ll never be a good dev because I ask questions I don’t already have the answer to :)

Thanks for the additional info! Very helpful and I appreciate it greatly.

Thanks! This helps and gives some great perspective. Given your thoughts on this, would you recommend I start with Go and transition to Rust, or dive right into Rust with the goal of looking back on Go and seeing the difference after 6+ mon

Wow, I can’t believe I’m seeing you in these comments! I was so inspired when I first saw Recut, and I’ve been using your interview questions for inspiration in my own interviews recently. My plan as soon as I get my next day job has been t

These give me some good context to go off of. Are there any resources you’d recommend on an intro to garbage collection for devs without the low level cs background? I’ll read a textbook if I have to, I just don’t know where to start with t

Thanks this is what I was looking for! Pointers are one of those things I’ve heard about for years but don’t know too much about. I know that in js objects are passed by copies of a reference to that object in memory. I have never felt that

Just replied to another comment recommending C. Can you help me understand which core principles C would help to refine i.e. what am I leaving on the table if I go with a Rust or C++?

by LecroJS 4y ago
Had a feeling a reply like this was coming. Could you help me understand a bit more about why C would be a better place to start and how it’d lead to me growing my skills in core areas vs something like Rust or C++? I hear about C++ and can

Can you say a little about what it means that since Rust has provable ownership at runtime, there is no need for GC? I’m familiar with Rust ownership on the surface, but lack the knowledge to see how it eliminates the need for GC. Is it jus

Very pragmatic perspective. I find this helpful in that it defines a line between getting things done vs investing in my own growth. Before reading this, my thoughts on Go were that it was a better way of “getting things done” than how I do

Adding for context: I don’t have a degree/background in CS. I majored in Math back in college and learned Python followed by a js bootcamp. I’m now years beyond that and have developed what I’d deem is enough of an understanding of CS

This feels like something I needed to hear. Everything I do in life I try to maximize for long term gains, so this tells me that Rust is very likely for me even if it means I’ll make less flashy stuff at first. Also I am definitely interest

This is the first I’ve heard a recommendation to learn elixir. I’m definitely interested based on your description + a quick google. Is there anything that comes to mind in terms of what it does different from Go/Rust that makes you re
