What You Need To Learn 2023 (as a software engineer)

[@sully-kg]

My favorite piece of advice from this is "That's a wheel and you want to reinvent it? Reinvent it!". Some of my absolute favorite and most educational projects were building something I could have imported or used as SaaS. Plus if we're honest most things you'll make are reinventing someones wheel.

What resonated with me most strongly here is what you said about going hard at my job. I am NOT in software development. I am in manufacturing production/fulfillment/logistics. At the end of the day, my boss doesn't care if I write the orders by hand (when I first started at this job 2 years ago there was a typewriter at my desk and we used an index card file system) as long as they get out the door. I develop software to make me faster / better / more efficient at my job using tech I am curious about because the faster I get at my job, THE MORE TIME I GET TO SPEND PLAYING WITH THE COOL TOYS! I'll start studying Rust soon as I think I can make software that is better than our ERP in Rust. Thanks for the great content!

Don't look just to the future, but also to what languages where used in the past. Many long lasting companies have legacy codebases that need either maintainance or are required to get a grasp on the project.

Start looking into the up and coming technologies that are finally starting to make their way into the mainstream. Namely Model-Driven Development and Description Languages like mCRL2. Automation of software development and checking for vulnerabilities/issues will become ever more prominent as companies focus more on making things secure/stable than adding new features.

[@mar.m.5236]

The upside of being curious and learn new things - esp. real functional programming: It may even help you being a better developer overall as the POV changes. But there is a dark side - if you are getting used and exited to features and possibilities you may start getting frustrated with normal languages as some features are not available or some style not possible in your day-to-day languages. While my memory fades I still remember that I was disappointent with everything else, after dealing with Haskells type system (some 13yrs ago)... *sigh

[@komanmi]

It took me at least 5 years as a dev to realise it doesn't matter which language/framework you use. You once mentioned that a uni degree was not needed but gives you a deeper understanding on the basics of computer science and I think that is what is the most needed as a coder (not the uni degree but the fundamentals like data structures and algorithms for example). After that it is the same as with anything in life, like food or music, you choose the language/framework based on what you like and what are you trying to build. I wish more junior devs understood that there is no cookie cutter language or tech and try to enjoy what they do instead while learning the fundamentals. If you master one language then it's easier to learn any other as the syntax/semantics change a bit but the way you solve problems with coding remains the same. Love the content, thank you!

[@albertosalash.3834]

i recently started to study this field and thanks to these kind of comments. I realized every language is just a tool to solve a problem. The most important thing is the method to solve the problem and How data structures and algorithms help enormously to achieve it

[@nickderaj]

So true. But I do think it's great to dip your toes in multiple languages so you at least know what's possible/impossible in certain languages or frameworks

[@MrValsung]

"gives you a deeper understanding on the basics of computer science" Could you possibly expound upon what knowledge constitutes this deeper understanding. I'm about to graduate high school, and I've been taking some programming classes over the past two semesters as an elective. I initially took C++ 1/2, x86 ASM, WebDev 1/2, & Data Structures & Algorithms (using C++). I've done pretty well (got A's in each class). As much as I would like to work straight out of high school, I know that I am nowhere close to being employable. Other than Data Structures/Algorithms, languages are a pretty simplistic thing to 'learn' to an extent, and there's no way that its the barrier of entry for any job willing to pay $50k+. I have been trying to learn other aspects of computer science, for instance, this semester, I am taking python, and considering how much more simplistic it is, I decided to take the initiative of 'learning' pymem library for my final, and """hacked""" an executable, learning a bit more about static and dynamic memory, arbitrary code execution via allocating memory dynamically during runtime, etc. I would appreciate any and all advice on what I should learn to pursue a career in this field. While I would like to do cool stuff like program video games (I've made a few games in Win32 API using C/C++), but I know that requires qualifications beyond what I can currently 'afford' so I'm hoping to break into Web Development, as I'm under the assumption that I can do enough 'self-learning' to get an entry level job, but I know these community college courses aren't enough. Thank you for your time.

[@nickderaj]

@@MrValsung I personally didn't take a Comp Sci degree (I studied Econs & Maths at Uni) and have found the biggest gaps in my knowledge is purely theoretical. I could easily find freelance web dev work or jobs at startups where you mostly build things in a "hackathon" kinda way, i.e. quickly spin up a firebase backend with a react frontend or something. However, I found most bigger companies value the engineers who truly understand the underlying tech, like how to properly scale (and the theory of it) a server or some sort of service. You can learn it by yourself, and I have been following courses on udemy or things like neetcode and feel like I've caught up for the most part so it is possible without a degree, it's just purely on you whether you can learn it in a structured way which unis offer.

Unfortunately being a software developer is far from only being a good programmer. You also have to be very good with database management systems, CI/CD tools, IaC tools and so on and so forth. Businesses demand every senior developer to be the jedi developer, so you're e.g. as a Python developer cannot just find a job as a Go developer unless you spent months/years with Go. They will just have a look at your CV and say: "Oh, you don't have experience with Go on production! And we need the REAL senior Go developer that knows all the pitfalls of the language, all mainstream libraries etc., so GTFO and get your production experience anywhere". Businesses really kill any curiosity, because you can play with your pet projects on any language with any technology, but they demand knowledge of particular stacks from you and poor you if you're not good enough just in one technology out of those stacks, they will easily fire you and replace with someone who is better in that technology.

Free time: work for the love Work time: hate what you work on because it's not as exciting Pretty much a recipe for failure and burnout. There's a better way to approach this but prime didn't do it.

[@ChrisSchepman]

make sure you're having a good time!

It really doesnt matter what language you use. I learned python pretty well and then decided to learn rust. Why because I like cargo and think its cool will I use it as a software engineer probably not but if you learn a single language you can learn any other languagege relatively quickly as its all the same concepts just done differently. Coding is so much learning every function its more learning how to do math in code and how if statements work if you understand all that you can learn any language in like a week or two. For me its mostly breaking habbits you develop with certain langauges.

Liked that uniform green colored background.

Is PHP and Laravel or kotlin/java spring worth studying in 2023?

[@filko3578]

Currently learning Rust without focusing on frameworks. As a CS student, I explore various concepts while working at a web agency, dealing with vanilla JS, CSS, HTML, WordPress, and WooCommerce. Excited to combine Rust with web dev skills for future projects and embrace new opportunities in tech. 🚀🌟 (Rust is little bit hard tbh)

I think learning a low level language like C, C++, or Rust is super important for perspective. C is the parent of an enormous number of languages, and every language has to deal with memory and safety, so understanding that I think is really critical regardless of what language you actually use day to day.

@@entelin I completely agree with you. In my university, we wrote some scripts/small programs in C, such as TCP and UDP servers, but I want to try writing them myself only after gaining more experience with Rust. Before diving into C, I wanted to learn a programming language that functions differently from, for example, Java (which we learn at university). I've just turned 26, and I still want to experiment a lot in the next two years, as they seem to be the best time before dedicating myself full-time to my self-employment venture.
