It’s getting more and more unhinged on LinkedIn.
If moving to another language erases 15 years of experience, you probably don’t have a good grasp on the fundamentals…
15 years is just about enough to understand how initializing a variable works in C++: https://randomcat.org/cpp-initialization/initialization.png
ey yo, wtf? is that a meme image?
no it’s real with references to the C++ standard (I think). they also have a big m4 macro(?) for generating the flowchart
C++ is a meme.
Perhaps the LinkedIn user should have considered learning “programming” instead of just C++
What the hell is going on with the kerning in that screenshot? My eyes, they bleed.
Do we have a c/keming?
If not, please make one, I wanna subscribe
Yeah, wth is this? It’s so bad at points that it sometimes looks like two words.
Linux is going on.
Anti-Rust crusaders: “C is easy actually and Rust is pointlessly annoying and hard to learn”
Also anti-Rust crusaders:
ancient amateur C coder here (not even c++). picked up python about 5 years ago (cuz why not?). been playing around with rust for a bit (like it so far). only issue is recoded tools getting released under mit license instead of gpl (cuz, get off my lawn!).
Yep, agreed that the license change is an actual issue

@onlinepersona the master plan to remove old senior devs is … to train new senior devs.
That’s a special kind of evil. A purer kind.
@onlinepersona ah, the time-honored tradition of The Big Rewrite 'cause it’s cheap. Where do people get these horseshit ideas?
The US government recommending memory safe languages has really given people worms in their heads
So RFK is now a software developer?
RFK is a C-nile
Rust is a conspiracy to bring down wages! Rust is a conspiracy to replace GPL with MIT to gain control of Linux! Rust is a conspiracy to impregnate your dog!
Hey, you sicko! Stay the hell away from my Linux!
Where’s that animooted sickos gif when I need it?
This is triggering me really good. Especially the part about seniors competing with juniors. Has this person ever met … people?
Bruh. Just put Rust on your resume. It’s not like they’ll actually check and you can still Google everything.

So, this “senior developer” is … braindead & still allowed to be working, then?

This is such an incredible self-own.
Either:
-
C++ is such a horrific language and Rust is so vastly superior that a person with 6 months of experience in Rust can be as productive and valuable as someone with 30 years of experience in C++.
-
The person writing the post, and according to them C++ programmers in general, bring virtually nothing to the table other than knowing the syntax and semantics of C++, even after 30 years of programming.
Sorry but you’re wrong. It’s both.
Por que no los dos?

This is so fucking stupid, I can’t even.
For your mental health, have some reasonable arguments about Rust: https://www.heise.de/hintergrund/Entwicklung-Warum-Rust-die-Antwort-auf-miese-Software-und-Programmierfehler-ist-4879795.html
Since it’s in German, here are the key points of the article (written from memory - the article is quite old, so I might misremember - best read the article yourself):
- Software development is stuck in a vicious cycle regarding project budgets.
- Some competitors don’t know better and just budget the “happy path”, that assumes that everything during development goes right.
- The author uses a term for this which I like a lot: “Hybris of the programmer”
- Other competitors know better, but still have to lie in order to remain competitive when it comes to prices
- Therefore almost all software projects end up with a way too low budget
- So we get buggy software
- Some competitors don’t know better and just budget the “happy path”, that assumes that everything during development goes right.
- Rust might be a way out of this misery, because
- it is understood that it takes longer to develop something with Rust
- but on the flip-side the safety-guarantees rule out a lot of bugs
- so customers who choose to have their project implemented using Rust are fully aware of the higher costs, but also the higher quality
- and developers have a well known argument for the higher costs, and also have data that shows how this higher investment will yield a better quality product.
The first point applies to any kind of engineering anyway.
- Software development is stuck in a vicious cycle regarding project budgets.
I’ll take salty C++ masochist for 5
This has been the nature of technical innovation since forever. Carriage mechanics were replaced by car mechanics and leech farmers were replaced by phlebotamists
I’m almost 22 and I have six years of intensive Rust usage, confirmed by many projects and contributions on Github. Switching to Rust was the best decision I ever made, because this post is partly true
