Coding

Learning Python within one week. Day 3 now. Maybe too slow? I can recall a few of what I learnt last year on Python 2. I wonder why coders like to name things after snakes or bugs.... Like Python or Spyder...... both of the things that I can't stand.....

After all the "interviews" or tests, I think at the end of all that, I probably learn all the languages available. Sometimes, I just lacked one or just one of it was not what I've learnt and I have to catch that up but then I didn't get the job. Pros and cons. If I didn't get the job, I get to use it for another job but then the dead cycles continued. I guess have to really focus on one and be good at it. If you don't use it, using it became less and less efficient until they are long forgotten friends.

I asked different people, all come up with different answers. Some was merely preference, some efficiency, some less thing to type, some easier to understand... I looked at articles that repeat itself. Verbose. Probably only 1% of their content is applicable to me. I read more and more but there is really nothing in it if you read more. Another dead cycle. Reading too much doesn't really get you anywhere if the content's quality is bad and you don't get it but then the insecurity in me makes me want to read more. I wasted the time just reading and not doing. That is not good. As in the quality of the code. Some say this way and some say that way. I realised one of my mistakes is not knowing how to test my code more efficiently so it worked in all cases.

After Python, I guess I need to go look at PHP. The C++ I've learnt was done 10 years ago (first ever programming language). Long forgotten I guess so got to brush it up a bit. The Matlab I used wasn't really the same as 10 years ago too. Anyway, I didn't realise their true power back then. I don't really need it anyway.
