Well, I need the software we're building to do the things I actually want to do, so I have to just help build or it would never get done. This is the thing
I need more software developers, so that I can go back to writing about philosophy and economics.
not sure if I can help but if I lose my job I will post it here 😄
What's your stack?
Have been working for startups mostly and my stack changes to their needs, thus not a specialist.
Python, Java, Javascript HTML CSS (vanilla, React, vue) done some Php and C++ but thats a while ago, need to brush up on typescript,
Linux, k8s, docker, nginx,...
running our own services like nextcloud, forgejo, jitsi meet, etc. been selfhosting +10 years , now offgrid
Always happy to learn another language, framework, etc...
What you looking for?
here is an anecdote that supports the hypothesis that hormones affect whether the kind of cognition needed for programming
programming is zooming in, PM, philosophy, marketing, these are all zoomed out
architecture is an example of something that requires both cognitive styles, that's why most young devs can vomit code but can't architect their way out of a wet paper bag
Yeah, I like systems-level stuff like requirements engineering and testing. Business case level, not tech spec level. I can do both, tho.
i think it's just folly to ignore the fact that hormones alter what parts and functions of the brain are favored by this part of our make-up...
women have to watch babies and children, men have to watch targets and tools... so we are better at zooming in and holding our focus, and you are better at eyes-wide, guarding, assessing the quality of workmanship and deciding where the toilet and bathroom and kitchen should be relative to the dining room
just as a few examples
as you know, very often people have a bit of the skills from the opposite pole but it's rare
i did a gender-cognition test years back that determined that i was 50% like an average woman in my cognitive ability... that's also why i have been able to get quite good at assessing architecture and protocols, these are more "eyes wide" processes in this business
Language ?
Well, it's a sprawling enterprise system. We have C++, Typescript, and PHP in production. Some of the Typescript is being exchanged for C++ and Rust, and the PHP will be traded in for Python, probably.
Damn, everything I can’t do 😂
i swear #golang is like the Uncarved Block of tech
everyone ignores it because they can't turn it into furniture, but it's oh so comfortable to rest under the shade of its living foliage
cool
