Great video. Thanks for explaining the reality of high availability jobs, like python, vs higher pay rarer jobs.

[@JoshChristiane]

Glad it was helpful! Thanks for watching. :)

[@DrunkenUFOPilot]

I like lists of highest-paying languages that barely mention any languages because there's a higher level of wisdom to understand.

[@JoshChristiane]

Absolutely. Foundations will always matter more than any individual language, but people want to know a good place to start.

[@moroxs]

I'm so glad I found your channel, finally someone that puts out a very well constructed argument based on the status quo and its own experiences. At first, I thought it was just another clickbait video about a chart on some random webpage for the highest paying languages, but I was pleasantly surprised. I would suggest your thumbnails or titles go a little bit more above and beyond. Your channel and ideas are great, and I would really feel bad if this high-quality content would get lost in the sea of clickbait videos. Thanks for the great video and insights 🎊

[@JoshChristiane]

Thank you so much for your advice and kind comment. It's very much so appreciated and I'll do my best to keep trying to make decent videos! :)

[@romantaylor]

That's a great take Josh!

[@jessiesaghir2096]

not too bad of an overview!!! SPOT ON! 🙏🤘

[@vasilijesepecan6769]

I'm glad you showed us the bigger picture, rather than just listing out the languages

[@JoshChristiane]

Thanks for watching, glad you gleaned something from it. I appreciate the comment!! :)

[@RobinSingh-ms3zt]

Nice to see a new video after a while. People need to understand languages don't matter much. I've also started getting deep into the blockchain development and its really powerful but many aren't aware of.

[@JoshChristiane]

Thanks for watching, you're totally right. Congrats on your new development project(s), that sounds really exciting!

[@ІванкаКіляр-е8у]

Good information brother, thanks for sharing your knofledge. Good to see you posting again man

[@JoshChristiane]

Thanks, I hope to release quite a few more this year.

[@imikhan83]

You spoke the truth. Got a new subscriber. Thanks man

[@JoshChristiane]

Thanks for the sub! Very much appreciated!

[@ggessentials4261]

Good to see you posting again man! Great video!

[@JoshChristiane]

Thanks, bro! Hope you're doing well :)

Amazing how Perl rose so high then fell and went dark, at least that's how it looks to 99.7% of everyone in the software-making world. I used Perl just a few years ago to manage test automation, picking metadata out of media files. It was fun, in a way. But ach! What a quirky language! Since then, I've seen Perl mention about never times in job descriptions.

[@JoshChristiane]

Perl is so weird, you're totally right. I've never used it on anything commercial, and I think this is the result of herd mentality. Not enough people use it to promote others to use it, but it's a great language in those niche fields where it is applied.

[@DrunkenUFOPilot]

@@JoshChristiane Freakin' easy to learn to, for someone who's already a programming polyglot, even as quirky as Perl is.

[@CERAC...]

Solid info, thank you for posting

[@JoshChristiane]

Glad it was helpful!

[@andreapressley2575]

you fellas are AWESOME, awesome!

[@maesahagun4401]

this is most certainly some incredibly awesome stuff right here!!

[@Death_Metal_Head]

Speaking of COBOL, a lot of people don't want to admit it but it'll be around quite possibly for another 50+ years. It may be oUtDaTeD, but it still works just fine. (If it's broke, don't fix it!)

[@JoshChristiane]

C as well. Super stable and useful.

[@Death_Metal_Head]

@@JoshChristiane Yes. I actually wouldn't mind working with the mainframe one bit. I don't care how "boring" it is. It may not be "glorious and high-speed" like a FAANG job, but how many COBOL programmers are being laid off?

[@sarathaayerkulam146]

Good information brother, thanks for sharing your knowledge.

[@JoshChristiane]

So nice of you, thanks for the view!

[@carlabrannagan7948]

nicely explained Josh, you got some insights!

[@JoshChristiane]

Glad you liked it! Thank you for watching. :D

[@baileefry8775]

I find that insight given here quite exceptional!!!

[@BitCloud047]

7:50 you said Django but that is a backend framework?? Did you mean React or Vue js or something else??

[@JoshChristiane]

No, I did actually mean Django. I was just saying that a LOT of programming jobs are backend Django type programming jobs where you specialize in one framework. That could be front-end or back, or full-stack, not trying to be too specific here, just generally specialized fields.

[@billhartleb4881]

amazingly well done Josh!

[@JoshChristiane]

Thank you for watching, I appreciate it, Bill.

[@sebastianspecht558]

awesome summary josh :O

[@uncharted4076]

Good Advice, Thanks

[@JoshChristiane]

Thanks a million for watching, appreciate it. :)

[@midsummernightsdream1532]

stuff like that definitely can't get no cooler than THIS, right?

[@fabioaerni3972]

Admittedly I believe some gesture of thanks would be the right way to go here... 👍

[@JoshChristiane]

You're very welcome! Thanks for watching.

[@lowrilewis669]

incredible! wow! how many languages do you know Josh?

[@JoshChristiane]

There are 3 that I commonly use, and I've studied over a dozen in good depth. Thank you for the view and comment :)

[@qaiswardag7382]

Hi Josh Which languages are those 3?

[@khemikora]

​@@qaiswardag7382I guess at C++, Python and Java

[@daynakathleen7917]

this is awesome !

[@edmundorusso5210]

PHP is cool, this will be very useful.

[@JoshChristiane]

I always kind of forget about PHP, but yeah it is a more outdated language that still has a pretty big userbase. Isn't Facebook still using it? Thanks for watching!

[@abigailbcfc]

hard to find good low level assembly programmers today.

[@JoshChristiane]

True, there is a really big demand in the industry for it though. A good idea for your future to study it! Thanks for watching. :)

[@khemikora]

I've been learning assembler for a couple of years now. Where would I look for low level jobs?

[@DrunkenUFOPilot]

Really? That's good news for me! I grew up doing assembly and electronics-level digital projects. Everything from making LEDs blink to creating funky digital art on an oscilloscope to making 3D renderers run 5x faster and integrating infrared cameras into expensive electromechanical systems. When I'm learning Crystal or Rust of Zig, I'm wondering what's the compiler putting out at the machine code level? All I need to know is: who is hiring for low-level assembly developers these days?

[@oliviabuxton9988]

I had an 8bit C64, I HAD to use assembly lol

[@JoshChristiane]

I've never had to use an assembler yet, but look forward to it one day.

[@angelchavez8609]

I was writing system drivers for all kinds of OSs, that was...phewwww

[@JoshChristiane]

Yeah I can imagine how painful that would be. I've never had to write O.S. code, yet at least.

[@kidsfun4339]

you could have used some on screen graphics.

[@JoshChristiane]

Great idea, I'll use some in the future.

[@Tygerman33]

what's the implication of all this on the job market!??👓

[@JoshChristiane]

Well, good point. I'm not really sure as I'm not a researcher into that. But perhaps somebody with a background in data analytics could look it up and figure that out. :P Probably no implications though, because most people just learn Python and JS.

[@danielmohamady2615]

very good

[@rosebud8414]

i started with Basic, then Assembly, then Turbo Pascal then C and now Python. not that hard

[@JoshChristiane]

I totally agree, it just takes times to build up that reputation for work. Also, learning frameworks can take forever.

[@velocirapter1655]

whats with all the booze bottle in the back hahaha

[@JoshChristiane]

I have quite a large whiskey collection in this room, it's mostly bourbon.

[@atlantageorgia2639]

you can't learn a language without learning the CPU you are programming for.

[@JoshChristiane]

That's a really good thought actually, it would help you from a design and architectural perspective. You could learn a language and program something high level that's CPU independent, which will run everywhere (think Java), but that doesn't make for fast accurate code.

[@montewehrenberg6616]

legacy syntax is in high demand, yeah.

[@JoshChristiane]

Generally speaking, yeah. Thanks for watching!

[@maryarnold7470]

I've heard some ATM machines still run DOS 😋

[@JoshChristiane]

Well yeah, DOS is a stripped down O.S. but not a language. The original windows was built on it as opposed to Unix.

[@danielmohamady2615]

thanks

[@danielmohamady2615]

nice

[@fosterwillis996]

just learn C, its awesome. 😁

[@JoshChristiane]

Fair enough, agreed haha. :)

[@jen-ferpalaciosz7160]

😍

[@cordyyost9026]

data analytics will make you rich 💲💲🚀

[@JoshChristiane]

Well yeah it could, undoubtedly. Probably not the "most" common field that's ultra high paying but as a general rule if you contract you could make some great money doing it.

[@danielmohamady2615]

good

[@dirindilla]

all languages are kinda the same if you ask me.🤟

[@JoshChristiane]

That's a really good point and good way to look at it. Logic is logic.

[@cheyennetant4752]

Java is a very slow interpreted language.👏

[@JoshChristiane]

Well Java is not really "interpreted" in the purist sense of the word, it's a hybrid between compiled and interpreted, but yes it does technically go through an interpreter, and yes it can also be very slow sometimes. Thanks for watching!

[@danielmohamady2615]

very nice
