You’re not a moron, you learned something useful. My experience for the past 20 years is being a moron over and over again, and I make sure to transmit that knowledge.

Backblaze posts stats regularly on their site, for example:

Python.

It was tested by some administration that loved, probably because their existing application was worse.

Years ago I joined a startup as a junior developer to work on a patented security application with SSL certificates and stuff. They had been working on it for 5 years, 10 engineers and 2 guys with PhDs, it was serious business. The thing was a prototype but it was fun to work with them. I was porting their app on Mac OS X too because the founders were sure that it would also be a success on a Mac.

Then one day I bought a HTC Desire to try this Android thing since I already knew Java. After a few tutorials, I realized that I could clone their whole app in 100 lines of code thanks to the Android API in less than a week, but it would be better, safer, and portable. I knew we were doomed. They closed the company a few months after because no one wanted their application.

It’s flake8 with all the rules enabled. You get a hundred warnings even for small programs. I love it.

I like https://wemake-python-styleguide.readthedocs.io/en/latest/, it’s the Nazi version.

No docstring, no shebang, no main function, no raw strings, and I’m sure they don’t have unit tests with a mocked filesystem.

Definitely. You don’t send passwords, ever, even if it’s encrypted by a quantic email server from the future.

A tour of C++ by Stroustrup, the latest edition. It’s short but good.

C++ because you have multiple versions, you can write in different styles (C, OOP, functional, meta-stuff, very low level like assembly, very high level like Python), it has undefined behaviors, and you can waste your whole life optimizing code.

Thanks for the link, I would have missed it.

Software architecture is the skill that I don’t have and I bought that bundle. Some books are unrelated to my job (like micro services) but it looks great.

I write C++ for a living but all the C# devs around me are very happy about this language.

I would report instead of posting about it, which is even more off topic.

If they are part of the same project, it’s pretty much a standard feature. You can link anything.

I’m on mobile but it seems to be this: https://www.doxygen.nl/manual/autolink.html

Restrict to PR until trust is established.

It’s only a sample of one but I almost doubled my salary by switching jobs. I was bullied and harassed in a shitty startup for more than 3 years. I got fat, almost had a depression and I was not doing anything interesting. Even my skills were decreasing.

A bunch of managers asked me once to do something illegal. HR was also telling me to do this because “it’s an order from the bosses.” That was the last straw and I told them to fuck off, and I resigned.

I was underpaid at this shitty company, but I accidentally found another job at a good company with nice people. My salary almost doubled overnight. I don’t want that much money but it was nice “fuck you” to my previous manager that I deeply thanked for being such an asshole.

Yes but not through GitHub.

People didn’t move when it became a social network, when Microsoft bought it, or when their IA scanned the whole code to make money from open-source projects. Only Musk buying it would change that a bit, but it still wouldn’t not destroy it.

As for me, I don’t have an account. My personal projects stay private, and for work I have pro accounts at GitLab or Azure DevOps.
