• Ask HN: Would doing a coding bootcamp be a horrible idea?

  Don't do bootcamp. Start with something like https://freecodecamp.org and take a few lessons. Try to build something from that and see how motivated you are. If you see some progress and this thing still excites you, then may be find an engineer (a friend/co worker etc) who can guide you a bit as you continue to build something. Start small and stay away from bootcamps (my 2 cents). - Source: Hacker News / 3 months ago

• Scripts should be written using the project main language

  > Sure, maybe for some esoteric edge cases, but 5 mins on https://learnxinyminutes.com/ should get you 80% of the way there, and an afternoon looking at big projects or guidelines/examples should you another 18% of the way. Not for C++, and even for other languages, it's not the language that's hard, it's the idioms. Python written by experts can be well-nigh incomprehensible (you can save typing out... - Source: Hacker News / about 1 month ago

• Scripts should be written using the project main language

  > Learning a new language shouldn't be difficult. Programmers are expected to familiarize themselves with new tech. I wish any large company agreed with this. I've worked for a company that on boarded every single new engineer to a very niche language (F#) in a few days. Also, everybody I worked with there was amazing. Probably because of that kind of mindset. Meanwhile google tiptoes around teams adopting kotlin... - Source: Hacker News / about 1 month ago

• The Shen Programming Language

  When I want to get a quick feel for a language I've never heard of, I usually look for the Learn X in Y Minutes[0] page for it. Shen doesn't have one. Perhaps the author and/or poster should remedy that? [0] https://learnxinyminutes.com/. - Source: Hacker News / about 2 months ago

IMO, one of the biggest problems with the way people use LLMs right now, is that they're being treated as a single oracle: to know Java, it must be trained on examples of Java. It would be much better if their language comprehension abilities were kept separated from their knowledge (and there are development efforts in this direction), so in this... - Source: Hacker News / 3 months ago
