I count myself lucky as well. I've been in a few great places. Also stuck in tolerable places for 5-10 year stretches because it's a paycheck. Sometimes people leave (for money or variety) but come back, because they realize other

In small startups - “we are a very small team and we don’t have time to mentor juniors, we need engineers who will be very productive from day 1" In medium-sized companies - “we are going to grow very fast, we need engineers who can

I suggest the opposite. Never DOS, particularly never MS-DOS and never x86 or anything in that family. They are an aboslute horror show of pointless legacy problems on a horrifying obsolete platform. Practically everything you'd learn

Sometimes you do need censored, e.g. website chatbots or anything run in an office setting. NSFW things just simply can't slip out of those. And it might be a way to optimize the model to simply fence those things out. But it is very l

Yes, and Tahoe was recently announced to be the last MacOS that supports intel hardware at all. Future versions will require Apple silicon.

VHDL (or Verilog) seems like another weird entry. It's one of those description languages that feels a lot like programming, but doesn't actually produce programs.

This does make me very curious about who on earth uses Prolog professionally. And happy to think that someone might :)

As others have said, python has been popular for about 20 years and niche for another decade before. It's the default non-C of a ton of libraries and frameworks. Python isn't popular because of LLM's. Python is used for LLM&#

Libraries. RoR did swing some attention to Ruby, but it's not the first thing that comes up in almost any context. It almost comes up in no context at all except if people are asked what scripting language they like in general. Python

Easier to find CV's with a word. In reality, just about any programmer should be able and willing to pick up a language when needed. Unless you have hyperspecific needs with some massive framework, a pattern matching HR is not a good w

Arduino is a company that likes to make fundamentally incompatible things, add their branding and claim that they are the big technology and not AVR, C++ etc. OTOH, if you have a programmer that's been only using the Arduino IDE and it

But labview is what happens when there's a project that needs hardware automation and has lots of budget but no desire to make in-house tools. And the house already used labview the last time that happened.

IM[EO], the std library and system interfaces are complete obscure made-up trash. The language was fine and tooling is nice, but I decided I'll neveer try to use nim again. Zig, otoh might be worth another look.

They also aren't known for having high levels of common sense in general, but I would also kind of expect anyone willing to work with this amount of equipment would think about cable management at least a bit.

Yes. Altavista and Metacrawler worked really well. Google managed to be just a little bit leaner and faster still. They probably did start to have a bigger index at some point, though.
