Also great benefits and pay. It's actually cushy. I work hard, but I'm certainly not taken advantage of. It could be better, but it's nothing like what you're saying.

null | d4rch0n | null | For programmers? That's crazy. Most software developers within 50 miles of a tech hub are doing pretty damn well and if they're living paycheck to paycheck they're either renting or living somewhere way beyond their means or they're just starting their career or they're getting dramatically underpaid. Even if they don't live near a tech hub and make less than average, they're probably living somewhere dirt cheap.
Developers I know have no problem renting their own place and saving money, and most I know who are 5 or more years into their careers own their home and support a family. If a developer is in their 30s and living with their parents, they need to seriously find a new job and make a decent raise for themselves.

null | cowinabadplace | null | What's cute is a guy who can't get a job making $200k+ in this market. I'm on an H-1B (and a couple of other work visas so I can also work in other countries), and the field we play in isn't one where we're rivalrous. If two people are worth hiring, you don't pick the better one. You hire both, because you probably need two people, and they both hit your bar.
Most poor engineers don't want to hear it but the truth is that they're competing with the Infosyses and Wipros of the world. That's why those guys are crowding them out. They're literally competing on price. It's different there. Those guys are rivals because none of them has any differentiating ability. They're just grunts.

null | Criptfeind | null | I really enjoy Clojure. Persistent data structures, core.async, and transducers have all been really pleasant abstractions to work with. I've been writing in it for fun and utility for maybe five years now, and have used it for one mid-scale contracting project, so I hope that that's sufficient background to prevent dismissal of the following as the gripes of a beginner, but: it's so strange to me, for all of the appeals that Clojure makes to an interactive development process involving the REPL and immediate feedback, that a first-class debugging experience on the level of Common Lisp's doesn't seem to be on the roadmap at all. The type of explorative developing you do in that environment, with the ability to drop into the debugger on error, alter the function body and restart the frame with your new code, seems about as far beyond the standard Clojure workflow as REPL-based development is beyond the save-compile-fix cycle of less interactive language ecosystems.
I can deal with the Java stacktraces and the occasional mystery of which concrete class is actually backing IPersistentMap after however many invocations of assoc, but if the experience of writing code is going to be a pillar of the language's sales pitch, why isn't this sort of next-level debugging experience on anyone's radar?

This still exists. The issue now is just that most major companies are actually low-key tech companies. But companies that just decide to invest in a tech department tend to just treat it like every other department - required to do business but not a core competency. So they don't do it well and you have the brainless recruiting-by-volume to fill the 100 open positions.

null | Hnefi | null | Not really. It's about expressing error states only when needed, and making error handling ergonomic, complete and, if not forced, then at least very strongly encouraged. Exceptions isn't part of it.
Go's way of handling this introduces a possible error state as a result of any function call. This is the null problem - any reference value can be an actual value or null (or nil, in the case of Go). Technically, you should check all function returns for errors to avoid accidentally using a null value, but realistically you won't be bothered because you know that some functions never fail. And then when they do, you crash.
With sum types, you only need to check for errors when errors can actually occur, and you always know exactly when that is because it's encoded in the return type of the function you're calling. If a function can cause an error, the actual result of the function is retrieved by checking for an error - through destructuring via a pattern match. Value retrieval and error checking is the same operation, which is made ergonomic and powerful since it's something you'll do often.
And in ML languages, pattern matching is forcibly exhaustive, which means you *must* check for the error. Not doing so is a compilation error. Which means that when the function changes by introducing new errors, you know exactly what lines of code you need to update.
Go's error handling is not significantly improved over C. It provides none of the above advantages while requiring a bunch of boilerplate where it shouldn't be necessary. It's not much better than checking a returned pointer for null and then reading errno. | null | 0 | 1491250799 | False | 0 | dfs9sfd | t3_631p99 | null | null | t1_dfs68v1 | null | 1493766669 | 2 | t5_2fwo | null | null | null |
