you're really not
(i.redd.it)
why not both?
this is me, doing php and javascript on daily basis.
That's rough buddy.
Fun fact, a glass of whisky is a good rubber duck substitute
Gotta hit that Ballmer peak.
Same here. It's not so bad. It get's really bad when I have to work on older PHP5 projects, though. Or shudder WordPress projects without OOP.
It is a poor craftsman who blames their tools, but I wouldn't be so poor if these tools weren't so shit.
10 print "hello"
20 goto hell
I'm a bad programmer.
i have this pep talk with myself every time i have to switch languages for a project (especially between python & java) and i can't remember how to do it at first.
During university I gave additional lessons for lower semesters and at times had to juggle three languages: Java, Typescript and plain JavaScript for that one professor who thought TS sucks.
Coding on the spot got really messy at times.
Me with python
:(
Sorry, but you weren’t the type I thought you were all the time
The type is dynamic. It can be whatever you wish.
You say : the type is dynamic We hear : the type is imaginary
You didn't need that opening parenthesis in python
Try lua as a middle ground. It's object based but more classical with the syntax.
Python isnt bad tho
It’s the best scripting language I know of, but man I hate dynamically types languages. I am so used to rust and C/C++ that reading any large script or program will drive me insane
And the whitespace instead of {} tokens…
The whitespace doesn't bother me at all, but holy hell! Any time I'm trying to understand a Python program/library that's anything above a couple thousand lines of code, I instantly feel a burning hate for dynamic typing.
I love Python for scripting- in large part because of dynamic typing. IMO it's just not a language made for building large infrastructures.
Exactly.
I use it a lot on my systems for very simple scripts because I am significantly more experienced in python compared to bash.
I remember getting given a 10k line python script which “was the documentation” for an API i had to interact with using powershell. I hated life so much because of that stupid project.
I've had the joy of working on a python project with strict type checking enforced in CI and wow is it a different experience. Am a big fan.
I can handle dynamically typed, but the whitespace thing kills me. I kind of really like PowerShell.
There’s no such thing as bad languages just bad programers anything outside of raw machine code is Just coping for a lack of skill.
Machine code? If you can't build a circuit to solve your problem it's a lack of skill.
Honestly probably easier than writing in machine code.
It's both
I'm not a bad programmer, nix is just a horrible programming language
Or maybe it’s the wrong language for the task. Macromedia flash is pretty good for animated websites, an enterprise asset management system, not so much.
My current cross to bear in an app written in Mulesoft because “it’s great with Salesforce” but completely unsuited for bulk data transfers.
Sucks to be stuck with bad choices made before you got there.
I have to bounce around between languages so much I don't really think I'm fluent in anything anymore. I may not be a bad programmer, but some of my programming is bad.
There is no good programming language, even including the ones people do not use.
what about haskell
Haskell devs like to write code, not maintain it. A bunch of libraries get written, but get abandoned shortly after for something new & shiny.
If only haskell devs were writing documentations, instead of going "type sigs is all the documentation you need!"
They moved from python?
No!
Clojure is pretty decent.
What's the name of that ancient Java UX again?
Hm, why this sound so familiar :D
It's just node.js that's why.. you're a deno dude now it's just your company that is still delayed not you
"A bad workman blames his tools."
We don’t always have the luxury of choosing our tools, and some tools are garbage.
"A good workman chooses good tools"
This is what I tell myself every time I find out the hard way what documented parts of Visual Basic didn't make it into VBScript.
