I had a worse experience. My first internship was doing web development in ColdFusion. Why that language? Because when the company was first starting, none of the funders wanted to learn Linux/Apache administration and CF ran on Windows.
Also, the front end development team did not have version control but shared code via a file server.
I am not a hiring manager (or, more likely a recruiter/HR), so I cannot speak about the value of having a MS listed on one's resume.
I am a senior developer with a masters degree and I am very grateful for the knowledge I got from that degree. Since I graduated, I have never needed to write a compiler, but i know how to implement a bunch of language features and it makes new languages easier to learn.
Could I have learned all of that without going to school? Definitely. It is all in white papers, software documentation, and textbooks, but for me, that is not the best way to learn. From what I have been able to find, even the most advanced MOOCs are only at advanced undergraduate level but don't cover grad school level concepts.
C++ is unique in that it is wildly dominant in its niche. I am sure that any developer who has worked with another object oriented, manually memory managed, systems programming language (are there any other popular ones out there?) should have no trouble picking up C++.
Did you find the answer to your question, and if not, could you explain it better?
Also, a quick tip: if you are using Python 3, you don't need to join your variables before passing them into print. print accepts any number of arguments, converts them to strings, and prints them as a single line separated by spaces (which is exactly what your code seems to be doing).
The point of using a cache is to have data in memory and not on disk. From what I can tell, Postge Unlogged tables are still written to (and read from) disk. It is just that the write is done in an unsafe way.
The article explains how one would go about benchmarking performance but forgets to actually include performance metrics. Luckily they link to another write up that does. Using an Unlogged table vs. a regular table reduces write times about 45% and gives you about 3 times as many transactions per second. It is not nothing but it is probably not worth the code complexity vs. writing directly to a persistent table.
Even the "no persistence" behavior of a cache is not strictly true: an unlogged table is only truncated if Postgre is shut down unexpectedly (by kill -9 the process or by killing the VM). If you restart if you shut down the process in a controlled manner, the unlogged table is properly persisted and still has data when it starts.
As someone who was a web developer since the mid-2000's (and not more recently), an HTML first approach speaks to me. I am still of the belief that your contents should be in HTML and not pulled in via JavaScript.
The article is a bit self contradictory. It encourages specifying style and behavior inline and not using external styles and scripts but also discourages using a website build pipeline or dynamically generated HTML. So how can you maintain a consistent look and feel between pages? Copy and paste?
If anyone is like me and wondering what the heck Litestar is, I clicked through enough to find the GitHub repo: https://github.com/litestar-org/litestar/
Litestar is a powerful, flexible yet opinionated ASGI framework, focused on building APIs, and offers high-performance data validation and parsing, dependency injection, first-class ORM integration, authorization primitives, and much more that's needed to get applications up and running.
In my opinion, Python is still missing one key feature: the removal of the Global Interpreter Lock, which is finally starting in Python 3.13.
The immediate use for this that jumps out at me is batch processing: you take n inputs and return n outputs, where output[i] is the result of processing input[i]. You cannot throw since you still have to process all of the valid input.
This style also works for an actor model: loosely coupled operations which take an input message and emit an output message for the next actor in the chain. If you want to be able to throw an exception or terminate prematurely, you would have to configure an error sink shared by all of the actors and to get the result of an operation, you so have to watch for messages on both the final actor and the error sink.
I also exclusively use the git CLI. I have tried to use a graphical client and could never figure out what it was doing and what was going on. I probably picked it up so easily because when I learned git, I was already used to using a CLI version control client. At the time, I was working at a company that heavily used Perforce and had a custom wrapper around the p4 cli that injected a bunch of custom configuration.
As a student (and even as an alumnus), you should have access to university career counseling. They can edit your resume for you. They may also have job listings from companies looking to hire students.
Also, you mentioned in a reply that your LinkedIn profile is not up to date. Fix that. Make sure you have all of your skills listed and experience described (then update it once your university career counselor rewrites your resume). The last two jobs I got via LinkedIn. I have had the best results from recruiters looking to fill a specific role as opposed to ones who wanted my resume to spam out.
P.S. Assuming you are talking about lambdas as a language feature and not AWS Lambda, they are the same thing as anonymous functions. lambda is just a keyword to declare anonymous functions in many languages.
pipis a perfectly usable package manager and is included in most python distributions now. Is it perfect? No, but it is good enough for every team I have been on.
