Real programmer learned Assembly.
VHDL is a good language.
If you think to be a good programmer, you're the opposite.

JS is horse shit. Instead of trying to improve it or using that high level scripting language as a compilation target (wtf?!), we should deprecate it entirely and put all efforts into web assembly.
Idk anything about web assembly but I 100% agree that JS is absurd and feels like it was created in a weekend by some schmuck who just wanted to be able to edit html on the fly because it was.
That's basically how it happened.
Don't be afraid to drop a tool although you've spent years mastering it if there is something new that is much more efficient. Some day you have to switch anyway.
A lot of programmers need to work on their soft skills.
I've met senior programmers who still have to look at their keyboard. How many years do you have to type before you can put out 40 words a min?
The amount of unqualified people is staggering beginning with those who have no university education.
Degrees are meaningless, excepting places like CalTech. I’ve known too many ‘programmers’ who had a CS degree yet were damn near useless to think otherwise. Not to mention my own CS degree taught me almost nothing.
This is the only way;
if (condition) {
code
}
Not
if (condition)
{
code
}
Also because of my dyslexia I prefer variable & function names like this; 'File_Acces' I find it easier to read than 'fileAcces'
I've only seen the second type in C#, to be fair it makes code neater but i'm glad I left it for Java.
How does it make code neater? All it does is add a ton of empty vertical space. It makes files arbitrarily longer at essentially no benefit.
