null | mmstick | null | Many in the field don't have or need a degree, and most colleges have terrible programs. Those on the path for CS will largely learn nothing more than theories and more complex mathematics. This is particulaly why I chose to pursue IT instead of CS myself, as IT is all about pragmatic knowledge of how all hardware and software works, which is immediately useful, rather than mathematical theories and learning the basics of languages X, Y, and Z.
Hence, a lot of people are disappointed by the time they completed college and now have a massive student debt that cannot be justified; then companies use the excuse that American degrees aren't worth the paper they are on for why they choose to hire H-1B visa workers for all their open positions, instead of spending some time training their new American hires, or actually spending a little bit of effort into reaching out to qualified candidates on the job market versus exclusively hiring through recruiters that use poorly-programmed algorithms to skim through and dispose of resumes, and have recruiter employees completely confused about what kind of person to look for with their automated blanket emails and terribly-designed criteria.
You're more likely to find a self-taught teenager with better programming skills than a recent CS graduate. I personally know someone that spent 4 years in a university for CS, and by the time he finished he had no idea how to do anything beyond fizzbuzz. He could follow his book to create a solution in the book, but had no understanding of how it works. You could ask him what a syscall was and he wouldn't know. He had to start from scratch in his own spare time to teach himself.
If you want to write better code, you just have to keep practicing and challenging yourself with more and more difficult tasks. You can also spend some time studying how others solve the same problems. That's how I got to where I am. Find an area in open source that you would like to contribute to, or spend time rewriting software that already exists. Rewrite your software over and over again as you gain new styles and approaches, and gain familiarity with things like git and Travis. Travis is free for open source projects.
Grabbing a modern programming language like Rust is an excellent idea, as it will force you to become a good programmer and to understand the consequences of each of your actions, and teach you all the latest programming concepts. It won't let you compile software that is of a critically flawed design, and it will open the path to understanding the pros and cons of each approach you attempt, without throwing up segfaults and terrible error messages that frustrate you to no end. | null | 0 | 1491322472 | 1491323650 | 0 | dftjz0w | t3_637seo | null | null | t1_dfsmej2 | null | 1493789992 | 0 | t5_2fwo | null | null | null |

null | bergamaut | null | When people say this I wonder if they're ignorant of American history or they're trying to rewrite it.
American culture is a product of European culture. "Immigrant" isn't a culture. The United States was created by Europeans and only whites were allowed citizenship. Immigration was heavily regulated and it wasn't until 1965 that immigration demographics weren't regulated. In fact, when that law was passed Ted Kennedy promised that ["the ethnic mix of this country will not be upset"](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Immigration_and_Nationality_Act_of_1965) which obviously didn't happen.
Nations are more than just economic zones. People wanting to preserve their culture and society shouldn't be frowned upon. | null | 0 | 1491323523 | False | 0 | dftkyvo | t3_637m7q | null | null | t1_dftjizd | null | 1493790473 | 1 | t5_2fwo | null | null | null |
null | rabid_briefcase | null | Actually, I'm in the game industry and that is below our entry-level wages.
Yes, at the junior level there is an overabundance of eager applicants who won't negotiate good wages, but after getting 8+ years of experience the gap with most other industries closes. There are some that likely won't ever close, like the specialist DBA developers at 'investment brokerage' firms, but otherwise it's about the same as other similar positions, and far more (double or triple) the local 'average' wages for other careers.
Even at the entry level, while game programming pays a little less than corporate database programming, it still pays far more than most "common" jobs. | null | 0 | 1491323563 | False | 0 | dftl0an | t3_637m7q | null | null | t1_dft6c9s | null | 1493790492 | 2 | t5_2fwo | null | null | null |

null | adrianmonk | null | Given the timing, I think it's pretty questionable whether Oracle would have felt the lawsuit was sufficient motivation to justify the expense of acquiring Sun:
* The agreement for Oracle to buy Sun was announced on [April 20, 2009](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sun_acquisition_by_Oracle).
* At that time, Android was still in beta, with its first release not happening until [April 27, 2009](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Android_version_history).
* From [this chart](http://www.theverge.com/2016/6/1/11836816/iphone-vs-android-history-charts), you can see that Android market share was nearly non-existent in 2009.
In hindsight, we know that Android took off and became extremely popular, but at the time it wasn't that clear things were definitely going to go that way. | null | 0 | 1491324252 | False | 0 | dftlnrj | t3_63ddi5 | null | null | t1_dft8uhj | null | 1493790805 | 8 | t5_2fwo | null | null | null |

null | cledamy | null | I would like you to elucidate your position on this.
Most software engineering constructs can be modeled with category theory and mathematics.
- no garbage collection ≡ symmetric monoidal category
- copy constructors and destructors ≡ comonoids
- lambda calculus ≡ bicartesian closed category
- subtyping is an example of a thin category
- events and time variance ≡ linear temporal logic
If category theory was the basis for a programming language, then one could have a language where code with and without garbage collection could exist in harmony and naturally compose. The advantage of category theory is that all these constructs while they still exist are built upon a larger theory rather than being entirely separate concepts, thus enabling more code reuse. Also, mathematical abstractions have a bunch of proofs that mathematician have derived, which could then be used in the formal verification. If one is going to use mathematical techniques to prove correctness, it follows that one should use mathematical abstractions in one's code. | null | 0 | 1491324295 | 1491335674 | 0 | dftlp8l | t3_63auwj | null | null | t1_dftfmvp | null | 1493790824 | 1 | t5_2fwo | null | null | null |
