5 Mistakes I Did as a Developer During My 15 Years Career

-
 Sticking to a Single Programming Language. The first programming language I learned was Clipper5, a very old language, however, I only used that when I was 8 years old after that I learned Java, and a year later I switched to C# and got immersed in the .NET world. C# was the first programming language I used professionally, and it was the only programming language I was using professionally for a very long time, however, the market started to require fewer C# developers over time, and while there are still a lot of job offers for C# other languages are taking over and gaining share in the market. An easy fix for me was to go back to Java, after all, I already knew the language, over time I also learned Python, and now I have access to a lot more job offers just because I’m proficient in more than one programming language. And in fact, I’ve got access to some really good positions due to the fact that I knew those 3 languages, which is what gave me a competitive advantage over othe...

Python is a Bad Programming Language

-
 I’ll say it again: Python is a bad programming language, and the only reason it’s so popular today is because Google pushed it so hard in the first decade of the 2000s. The creator of Python, Guido van Rossum, actually worked at Google from 2005 to 2012. Go and Dart weren’t around back then (or at least they weren’t well known) and with C# gaining in popularity (stealing would-be Java developers) Google probably felt they needed a language of their own. They probably would have wanted to embrace Java, as they were already using it with Android, but they must have been paranoid about getting into bed with it because they were already running into legal issues with Oracle. So for whatever reason, they adopted Python. I imagine in an alternate universe they could have chosen, say, Lua, and maybe in that universe Lua would have become the dominant language today. Of course Lua is kinda weird, so it’s probably better they didn’t choose that one after all. But let’s talk about why Pytho...

Development and Community

 PHP includes various free and open-source libraries in its source distribution, or uses them in resulting PHP binary builds. PHP is fundamentally an Internet-aware system with built-in modules for accessing File Transfer Protocol (FTP) servers and many database servers, including PostgreSQL, MySQL, Microsoft SQL Server and SQLite (which is an embedded database), LDAP servers, and others. Numerous functions familiar to C programmers, such as those in the stdio family, are available in standard PHP builds. PHP allows developers to write extensions in C to add functionality to the PHP language. PHP extensions can be compiled statically into PHP or loaded dynamically at runtime. Numerous extensions have been written to add support for the Windows API, process management on Unix-like operating systems, multibyte strings (Unicode), cURL, and several popular compression formats. Other PHP features made available through extensions include integration with IRC, dynamic generation of image...
