Can anyone confirm accuracy?

Thankfully I suck at that, but holy crap it is prevelent in this industry. The alcohol abuse is cray. Doesn't help when you travel constantly. I don't travel much anymore, but the people who spend 90+% of the year in the field, while having a family, are fundamentally broken. Fun to party once in a while, but when they do this shit multiple times a week, I don't understand.
Couldn't agree more. Field service is one hell of a drug. Money's good, variety is fun, the chaos and travel are fun too, and you learn a lot quickly. The latter often because some or all of the mfg. plant you're visiting needs you to fix your stuff so they can run, and no one is coming to BFE to help you, lol.
But that all wears off, in time, and it starts to take a huge toll like you described. Never met a long term field service engineer with a healthy home life, or with their health in general. I got out because both of mine were crumbling, for real.

Happy to see Julia on the list.
Apparently I am a nerd. I accept that.

Haha elixir is too obscure to be a nerd just us cool guys putting the fun in function
No Gleam either. That's one I'm wanting to try out.

I heard it's to pay respect?

No Haskell so I'm not a nerd
.
Though from the languages I use the most (Java & Python) and other languages I enjoy (Rust, Julia) I can infer that I'm probably a bit of a nerd.Yeah Haskell is definitely not for nerds. Just too plain and simple.

What about bash?
For n00bs

Julia is a regular nerd?
She is, and she's lovely.

Nope, JS is āYou think you are nerdā.
Also, why React is there? Itās a lib not a language
HTML 5 is also not a programming language.
That being said. The JS hate is kinda cringe at this point. It's a perfectly fine language all things considered.

As an engineer this is extremely offensive. MATLAB is for fucking tryhards.
as an R user, what is matlab what is it about
-
OCaml maybe
OCaml has a camel with two bumps. So, that's gotta be the Perl dromedary camel...

I believe Haskell makes you the pope of nerds.
Awesome!

I used to develop with PHP all the time . That was back in 2010 when my teenage soul still had hope and dreams. Can someone still developing tell me what I should use for the backend today? Also I can never understand GIT as a single developer. The fuck is that? I've tried everything to understand.

Needless to say, they're wrong.
Not least because there's no such thing as a "compiled" or "interpreted" language.
Which is to say that it's a property of the tooling rather than the language itself. There's nothing stopping anyone from writing a C interpreter or a Python compiler.

I'd say there is (but the line is a bit blurry). IMHO the main distinction is the presence (and prevalence) of
evalsemantics in the language; if it is present, then any "compiler" would have to embed itself into the generated code, thus de-facto turning it into a bundled interpreter.That said, the argument that interpreted languages are somehow not programming languages is stupid.

Matlab sucks ass no real engineers use it, only college kids.
If we're talking real engineering (like professional accredited engineering and not programmers calling themselves engineers) you couldn't be more wrong. It isn't used in deployment necessarily but for modeling and analysis it has no equal.

I used to be very opinionated about programming languages but now I just really love all of them.
Sure some might not be the best tool for some jobs but maintaining a language is insane and just such a mind-blowing endevour.

I'm a single developer and I use it. It's a great way to backup your files on the cloud with versionning.

Yeah holy shit. When I was starting out and tagged along a senior on a trip he literally hauled a big backpack of spirits with him.
Got out of that industry after a few years when I realized why every senior was drinking. The money was just not worth it for me.

I recommend checking out Python (Django) and Ruby (Ruby on Rails) if you want nice and easy modern Web frameworks that also aren't that weird if you have PHP experience.

Versioning your code with Git makes it much easier to experiment with new ideas. Cocked up a file? Pull it from the previous version. Create new branches for experiments, merge them in if they work, toss them if they don't, or keep them around just in case, without them ever getting in your way in the "real" version.
And if you keep the code in a server (GitHub etc), that gives you a backup location and makes it easier to work on code on multiple systems.
