I'd add that it becomes even better if you are solving real problems for real users. It's really satisfying to solve the problem, but it's even better when your solution makes somebody else happy. The best compliment I've ever gotten was a user telling me they where about to quit because the work was so annoying but they decided to stay after our software was rolled out and that made the job so much more pleasant. That's when I decided never to work in a job where the actual users are hidden behind a layer of business analysts and product owners.

It is a never ending stream of challanges and puzzles to be solved with our ever expanding toolbelt. - What language / environment are best for the next project. - When to employ a library or write something yourself. - When to cut of compatibility for older systems. - And of course. How to actually write the project within the constraints that are given.

I think it’s about a continuous learning mindset. I’ve seen some fellow engineers outright reject or refuse to use other languages because they aren’t comfortable with them. If you’ve worked in a language for a while you are better able to determine how and when it can be a good tool. But not every tool needs to be written in a new language. Shiny object syndrome and complacency are the extremes, a balance in the middle is sustainable and will help you succeed.

same. i started learning front-end by following react project tutorials on youtube. i always had a short dopamine hit after finishing a project this way. but after a week i forget most of the stuff and cannot redo the project without going back to the tutorial. this is the famous tutorial hell, and i think it is especially common for the front-end because computer science new grads didn't learn much javascript or react at college but they realized most of the companies are hiring for react developers; so to get a job in a short period of time, they tend to follow these tutorials and but don't really understand the fundamentals of web technologies. same applies to short-term bootcamp students. the constantly evolving front-end ecosystem only exaggerate this type of shallow learning and drags more people into the tutorial hell. on the other hand, backend is more stable and require deeper understanding of the computer science fundamentals, such as dsa, operating systems, and computer networks, which not many bootcamps will teach since they require long-term commitment. but front-end can be as interesting as the back-end as well. you just have to dig a bit deeper. for example, i found react virtual dom and javascript closures are a lot of fun to learn.

"Vanilla" is a better word than "boring" to describe Go and Elden Ring. Boring always has a negative connotation. Sometimes people will say it's good to be bored, but the message is pretty much always that it's good to actually live life and not be stimulated with entertainment all the time, not that boredom itself is good. Words like calm, tranquil, or reliable are what people use to describe things that are boring but don't have a negative connotation. "Trusty" or "reliable" would also be good choices to describe Go or Fromsoft games. I like "trusty" more than "vanilla" now that I think about it, but I think "vanilla" is better at presenting the "no frills" or "nothing exciting" point you were making about them.

@@NihongoWakannai Like I said later in my comment, reliable or trusty might be a better adjective to use. I have a pretty positive reaction to "vanilla", but it's one of those words that some people might associate with "bad" even though it's like a go-to flavor for everything, and pretty much everyone likes it. There's definitely something Fromsoft-like in Elden Ring, Bloodborne, and Sekiro -- even though they were all totally different in terms of setting and gameplay. Whatever that DNA that they all share is, it's good and it's reliably present in Fromsoft games. At least all the games made since DS2. I never played the old Armored Core games, but from what I've heard the new one is like the older ones but better. I agree it's very different from the Souls/Sekiro games, but I still think the "good company makes good games" point still stands. If "vanilla" isn't the right word to describe the sort of "good and reliable" trait that Go and Fromsoft have... I don't know, I'm sure there's a good word somewhere.

@@smokingiscool599 that's how every well managed game studio is like. They're making similar games because they know how to grow and maintain a team with very specialized knowledge on how to make that genre.

Persona is so great because of many years making JRPG Lifesims. Monster hunter is great because of many years of making actiong games hunting big monsters. Companies that don't maintain that knowledge base in their company, treat their employees like they're replaceable and rush too quickly into unknown territory are the ones releasing broken buggy messes. Fromsoft is notable to me because of how much they *do* experiment whilst still maintaining pretty good quality and release schedule.

@16:26 Go is not boring so much as it is elegant. The language itself is simple but it is the most fun I have ever had coding in my career. I would rather write in go than in practically any other language....except for rust which is fun for other reasons. But getting stuff done is so much easier in Go than it is in Rust. I suspect Rust is much better for long term maintenance though...not by much. Zig is fun, you know when I get to thinking about it one day I think I will ditch Go for Zig but that is not today.

What is not mentioned explicitly is the middle ground where Engineering is also a SOCIAL thing. The noise is your technical individual prowess and the goal/solution are a business objective that make you successful. The social middle ground is the STANDARDS and CUSTOMS an engineering community has. That community can be the department, the whole business or even the engineering community around a language. What the standard is depends on the community, but if you ignore it you make things more difficult for other engineers and that will reduce your chance of success. Just getting the job done doesn't doesn't make you a MASTER Software Craftsman.

I came from web background, so was used to interpreted languages with events, dynamic types, dynamic containers etc. I didn’t go to university until I was in my 30’s with 10+ years of experience. My first programming class was in C and it was eye-opening 😬 I had never compiled anything before 😂 Loved it though. I think everyone should learn C. I think it makes you a better programmer, because you actually have to be thoughtful about what you’re doing.

I'm a Java developer for 8 years and I don't feel like i'm an expert, my mind says that I should be but I don't feel like that, maybe I was hired in the wrong projects or didn't do enough side projects, so I'm just starting to re-learn everything from scratch to see what I missed from my cs degree days. Just Java and Spring, from zero to hero courses, I don't intend to enter in tutorial hell because I already have a job working with java (with older frameworks tho), but I can use what I learn and re-learn right away in the real world. No more games, I just want to call myself an expert and i'm working on it.

Little things he does clues me into his familiarity with Christianity, like in one video he mentioned some trivia that the word "Rubbish" in the original Greek translation it comes from is closer to the cruder term "shit". I can almost guarantee he knows this because the apostle Paul uses that word in one of his letters and it's a little factoid that the Bible translators softened the true intensity of the word by using "rubbish". It's just such a particular detail that I would not expect anyone else to know

If you are dissatisfied with your work, realize that you are not a once in a lifetime genius, you might be a 10x Engineer, but that doesn't make you special, there are thousands no millions of people just as talented as you, don't hold yourself to a standard you can't reach, being mediocre is good enough, if it really is not, look for another job. “Pride is not the opposite of shame, but its source.

This has been my issue for the past few years. I tend to explore a bunch of different things because I'm bored in whatever stack I use in my full time job. I feel as if there's little space to deepen my proficiency in a language as most jobs require a really repetitive style of programming, you don't reinvent the wheel and mostly stick to the basics. What would be a good advice to be able to find avenues to explore and deepen understanding of a language and 'stick to it' ?

It's funny that one of the coolest thing you've seen is compile time Zig, while C++ also has that, including conditional compilation of branches. Sure, it's a bit more unwieldy with the constexpr keywords littered around, but I think it goes directly against Zig's philosophy to do it implicitly, so it's an L for Zig. Still better than C, obviously.
