On the flip side I appreciate all the free expensive alcohol I get.

    Unfortunately I’m not a programmer I do other technology things but really it depends on what kind of work you want to do. What kind of programming do you want to do? Data? Web? Enterprise bullshit? Something else? That’s the real starting point of that question

      Web and desktop app. From my search, Frontend is a mess of frameworks, react is popular but it’s facebook.

        You trying to get a job? If so, frontend is gonna be react or angular (Google) for a lot of entry level jobs. If you can learn just enough of either to bullshit an interview, you can probably get work eventually. It’s kind of hard to learn the frameworks without learning some level of basic coding first, but I guess LLMs have probably made this a good bit easier to deal with.

        Ew yeah frontend is nasty stuff. The more frameworks you know the better but I stay far away from that for a reason

          React’s not going anywhere. May as well learn the basics. Hell, learn the basics of jQuery too. That shit’s everywhere.

              You’re preaching to the choir, comrade. I begged my boss to not introduce React into our jQuery-heavy codebase before we’re done ripping out the jQuery. The interactions we’ve had between old jQuery selectors and React’s virtual dom have not been pretty.

      I’m throwing together the occasional script for solidworks and inventor, so I’m learning to hate VBA
