I subscribed to you around January of 2023 as I started going to college for a BS in computer software technology. I have to say every video of yours I’ve watched has been very help and I appreciate your channel along with the few others I’ve come across. Thank you for helping out. I’ve also come across quite a few subreddits that seem extremely helpful and thus far my interactions within those communities have been positive and very helpful.
Man that’s great to hear!! There are a lot of good people in this community and I’m glad you found them before any of the others. Good luck with your endeavors and always find the positive people to help you along your journey! Then you’ll be a shining light for those coming behind you.
As a learning developer, this video really gives an insight of what is actually used in the industry & also work together to make a thing happen. Great Vid as always 🔥🔥🔥
As long as you never use vim, you can choose any IDE. Once you start learning vim or nvim more deeply, you're locked in. Also, learn git!!!! The dev world spins around git and stack overflow.
@@jackomeme using it when you don't have a GUI is where it shines truly. Run it on everything and get the handy split screen and file explorer in a CLI environment, for basically no system resource cost. The only benefit of a conventional IDE is intelliSense(and sometimes easier debugging). And IntelliSense is highly overrated IMO
Good set of tools. The only one I would add is a good debugger (some IDEs have it built in, but not all). This is especially important if you are programming at a lower level where you need to see the registers and flags. Another one is a good profiler. A word of caution to those looking to program professionally, expect the company that you are writing software for to not have one or more of these tools especially CI/CD and test frameworks. I have even worked at companies where there was no source control other than folders with version numbers on them.
Yeah Unix terminal and vi are my two main important things. And I am amazed how few developers know these! Even DOS commands are for most an enigma. And I am like: "You are running on Windows you should know CMD/DOS!" I am always amazed how fast my other colleague (also a freelancer) and I are. Because we are the cli/regex/keyboard warriors. And we both are well versed in networking, infrastructure (and cloud now) and software development. The blessing and the curse of growing up in a small software house where you need to do it all! When there are files that need to be reformatted, my colleague are refining whilst I am already hacking away in vi and doing it. "Done! give this is a try!"
No idea what you do but that was one of the best videos on planning i've seen, it's SO GOOD to see familiar structures like tree and kanban, and to see fundamental stuff like this is rare (to my frustration). I actually had a leg up cause i read Make It Happen by Burke and he worked with this stuff so it was somewhat familiar and good to connect and expend my perspective. Excellent voice and teaching.
This video really helped me digest all the different tools in a simple format, know I feel more optimal adding some of these tools to my toolbox when I'm coding for my projects. Fire Vid man, would like to see a video on how you setup your computer for programming
I appreciate that! I do my best to make sure I’m clear and enunciate properly and my accent doesn’t overtake. Plus I typically talk slow in general so maybe that helps lol
Always love your videos! I actually took inspiration from your Portfolio video for my own portfolio and enjoy seeing what you're up to so I can keep up with how tech is ever changing and the practices other engineers are, well, practicing :)
Surprised not to see debugging tools added here. Something I use a lot even if I am just trying to look at the call stack to see whats going on and where the program flow is headed on code bases I am not familiar with. Great way to learn how a system works, being able to step through step by step through a system and see what files and functions its hitting to do certain things.
You are second youtuber today with scribe sposored video. Seems like they are pouring money. As for IDEs... they come and go. Vim stays and evolves. IDE users are so funny when they have to write something simple even in nano ))
I've found that topic particularly helpful for a newbie (and a vim-user!) such as myself...at the end of it all, at at least you paid us SOME CREDIT!😇😇😇🤯
Nice vid! I am just coming across git and test driven workflow after going through some python for a year. Really look forward to your AI auto-generated testing tools!
there's a clear difference between a full featured IDE and a code editor with extensions, and it's very obvious when comparing the Jetbrains IDEs and VSCode.
We liked it. Can't wait for the AI video. For me, ChatGPT is great for when I am kind of stuck and need my creative pump primed. I haven't found that it produces high quality code very often, though. At least for me. I use primarily AWS, Python, and SQL.
bash/tcsh/ksh, vi, git, gcc, gdb, make, cmake thats really it. And CI/CD is my speciality these days, but it's too complex for a developer to solely focus on. You need to know infrastructure (most devs suck at that), you need to know different build tools, yaml, etc most devs don't have time to get into it. I see that at my customer where the developers have the WORST pipelines created.
> _"Vscode is more of a PDE (personalised development environment) ..."_ @@NostraDavid2 ahw, super nice term. is this term coined by you or would u like to give reference to some source.
@@LucasDimoveo well, NostraDavid's answer is the most succint and precise way to put it, VS Code works for doing personal devt, but not when u are in a company environment as then, due to the super increased scale, lots of other tools come into play: style guides formatters, test suites, analysers, pipelines, etc etc.
I've never heard BA in CS before but as long as it is Computer Science, it shouldn't differ whether it is BA or BS. I've a feeling BA may specialise in game development.
In the program for a BA you will get introduced to more liberal arts. Ex: foreign languages, psychology etc. In the program for a BS you will take more technical/science classes.
> _"haha, windows is just spyware at this point"_ besides never being any supportive of developers/power users other than just pretending in their yearly showcases for marketing & PR!
@@LucasDimoveo Linux and OS X are Unix based, and Unix was created by programmers for programmers - Brian Kernighan said that, and he should know as he was one of the developers of the original Unix. The fact it tends to be used for other cases is just a bonus. Windows is NOT made for programmers, but for business people. The fact it can run games is just a bonus.
Never really understood why people want to use vim and gimp themselves. IDEs offer a lot of convenience and have neovim plugins if you like it. I mean sure IDEs take a while to load since it indexes a lot of shit and eats up some ram but let's get real here, a majority of computers nowadays have more than enough power for it.
Come back in 40 years. You're still young. I've been using VIM for years and before that, VI. I've been paid as a programmer, moving from BASIC to C to PHP to Python, with dozens of other languages between them. Using VI/VIM forces you to learn the language, not the IDE. And that editor is present on practically ALL systems, without requiring any setup beyond downloading my .vimrc file. I can be ready to go instantly on any client site within SECONDS! What happens when you change jobs and they don't support your favourite IDE? Code formatting is a matter of personal discipline. You are talking like someone who has only just discovered programming and feels he knows it all. sigh.
Absolutely. Will do! I’m still testing out a bunch to ensure they actually help. Too many people put together lists without actually using the tools themselves. I want mine to be fact-based
LSP (Language Server Protocol) and Lua integration. LSP brought the code completion from a typical IDE and Lua made scripting much, MUCH easier. You can basically script your own IDE with the vim workflow.
This video feels like an ad. All the points are super generic except for Scribe, which I don't think is on the same level as the other points. I get you need to make money and that's fine, but I think it'd be better if you named this point something like "documentation tools" which are as important as the other points, and then in this point have a section speaking about Scribe.
Do you even know how RU-vid works....the part abt Scribe IS the ad dude...and like he said, this is the basics beginners/comp sci students need to know when they become SWEs. Of course there's more e.g. containerisation & orchestration tools etc the list goes on.
@@johnwig285 Let's skip over the part where I said I know he has to make money and include ads? He could've made a more broad point about documentation and then talked about Scribe is what I'm saying.
Why should i need to know CI/CD? I am successfull software developer overy 2 years. I have not used Testing tools, Code Analysis tools or CI/CD tools. Does this makes me worse developer? Your choices are not EVERY developer should know. It depends different situations. BTW I like your contents. You are amazing
If you never write tests, and never test your code in an automated way, I bet you'll write code that's harder to test. When it comes to CICD, you don't unless you want to go the DevOps route.
Well then you're a lucky outlier i guess. The average dev would need to use these tools. Maybe u work for a startup which doesn't have a concrete structure for development yet. Company saves money by not spending on these tools.
