  • It’s much better today, but in 2010 that was 100% accurate.

    That being said, using Java as a first time programming language is like a 15 year old trying to fly an airliner to get a few blocks away to pick up some after school snacks. Obviously it’s way overkill. Sure you could get across town with it, but it’s probably 1000x more complicated than just a simple bicycle or even walking.

    Java is industrial strength for professionals. There’s absolutely no consideration made for educational usage.

    I wanted to say the same thing, use it or lose it.

    Pain sometimes comes from injury or other mechanism, but loads of people with back pain just need to exercise more.

    A strong back will do wonders.

    Likewise a strong wrist will resist keyboard pain. It won’t tolerate bad typing posture or a crappy keyboard, but it will resist pain with a good ergo keyboard and good posture

    I’ve been in charge of hiring a few jobs now and I make sure to not care about any of the typical signals when interviewing. I tell recruiters and candidates alike that I’d “hire three raccoons in a trenchcoat if they could turn requirements into working code”.

    I’ve hired quite a few folks who didn’t fit the typical mold, because they could write some sweet code. Who cares about eye contact, I want honest, hard working problem-solvers.

    The biggest thing my less social folks struggle with (for anyone curious) is requirements gathering. That often takes interviews and repeated interactions with customers. But it’s a skill like any other. Practice brings improvement!
