2 year old post on Reddit. Its very long, but is pure gold! Covers each and every damn thing about Software Engineering! Must read for everyone!
"The older I get, the more I appreciate dynamic languages" - Finally, someone said it.
In my earlier years, I used to love C++, Go, Rust and even TypeScript over JavaScript in the worst case. Python and JS were heresy for me.
Now I love Python and JavaScript and I feel they're much better for most use-cases and atleast the first 75%ile of scaling requirements.
Ain't nobody got time for dealing with static types once you're older. With more experience, you begin understanding the shapes/types of all commonly used constructs in dynamic languages anyway.

Itna bhi sach nahi bolna tha lol
FAANG is overrated. There are way better companies out there.
Thank you for sharing this post!
I have been getting a feeling that software engineers (SEs) have a sense of entitlement, believing they deserve a salary of 50-60 LPA with 2-3 years of experience and a 30-40% raise every year. As an SE myself, I believe this sense of en...
I don't know if this is a right place to vent out , had been topper in college , schools always distinguished from other students did standout by doing things out of box . My friends used to go enjoy trips while I was busy participating ...
This is something that helped me a lot during my Engineering days and some of it I even used during my job. It is great to work through these problems out of curiosity as it builds great intuition around computing and algorithms.
Tell me you are a mediocre programmer/ work with mediocre programmers /an idiot without telling me you are.
Software engineering is a constantly evolving field, but there are foundational concepts that every engineer should know to succeed and adapt.
1. Programming Fundamentals: Mastering data structures (like arrays, lists, and trees) an...
