I think the order of Java and Python makes perfect sense. The OOP C++ -> Java pipeline was massive in the early 2000s when python wasn’t really on the radar. The world has been slowly moving away from that, and Python is one of the most popular languages right now.

Odin mentioned!

Maybe try convincing him in terms he would understand. If it was really that good, it wouldn’t be public. They’d just use it internally to replace every proprietary piece of software in existence. They’d be shitting out their own browser, office suite, CAD, OS, etc. Microsoft would be screwing themselves by making chatgpt public. Microsoft could replace all the Adobe products and drive them out of business tomorrow.

Edit: that was fast

We are eventually going to stop writing code and focus more on writing specifications.

I don’t think this will happen in my lifetime.

100%. In my opinion, the whole “build your program around your model of the world” mantra has caused more harm than good. Lots of “best practices” seem to be accepted without any quantitative measurement to prove it’s actually better. I want to think it’s just the growing pains of a young field.

You shouldn’t have any warnings. They can be totally benign, but when you get used to seeing warnings, you will not see the one that does matter.

And, you can have pointers to bits!

Algorithms + Data Structures = Programs

60k rows of anything will be pulled into the file cache and do very little work on the drive. Possibly none after the first read.

Meh. I had a bash job for 6 years. I couldn’t forget it if I wanted to. I imagine most people don’t use it enough for it to stick. You get good enough at it, and there’s no need to reach for python.

I’m on your side dude. Comments rot. Some are useless. Don’t even get me started on doxygen comments.

Hey! I know the guy working on this. Super cool, detail oriented guy.
