Normally I just post about movies but I'm a software engineer by trade so I've got opinions on programming too.

Apparently it's a month of code or something because my dash is filled with people trying to learn Python. And that's great, because Python is a good language with a lot of support and job opportunities. I've just got some scattered thoughts that I thought I'd write down.

Python abstracts a number of useful concepts. It makes it easier to use, but it also means that if you don't understand the concepts then things might go wrong in ways you didn't expect. Memory management and pointer logic is so damn annoying, but you need to understand them. I learned these concepts by learning C++, hopefully there's an easier way these days.

Data structures and algorithms are the bread and butter of any real work (and they're pretty much all that come up in interviews) and they're language agnostic. If you don't know how to traverse a linked list, how to use recursion, what a hash map is for, etc. then you don't really know how to program. You'll pretty much never need to implement any of them from scratch, but you should know when to use them; think of them like building blocks in a Lego set.

Learning a new language is a hell of a lot easier after your first one. Going from Python to Java is mostly just syntax differences. Even "harder" languages like C++ mostly just mean more boilerplate while doing the same things. Learning a new spoken language in is hard, but learning a new programming language is generally closer to learning some new slang or a new accent. Lists in Python are called Vectors in C++, just like how french fries are called chips in London. If you know all the underlying concepts that are common to most programming languages then it's not a huge jump to a new one, at least if you're only doing all the most common stuff. (You will get tripped up by some of the minor differences though. Popping an item off of a stack in Python returns the element, but in Java it returns nothing. You have to read it with Top first. Definitely had a program fail due to that issue).

The above is not true for new paradigms. Python, C++ and Java are all iterative languages. You move to something functional like Haskell and you need a completely different way of thinking. Javascript (not in any way related to Java) has callbacks and I still don't quite have a good handle on them. Hardware languages like VHDL are all synchronous; every line of code in a program runs at the same time! That's a new way of thinking.

Python is stereotyped as a scripting language good only for glue programming or prototypes. It's excellent at those, but I've worked at a number of (successful) startups that all were Python on the backend. Python is robust enough and fast enough to be used for basically anything at this point, except maybe for embedded programming. If you do need the fastest speed possible then you can still drop in some raw C++ for the places you need it (one place I worked at had one very important piece of code in C++ because even milliseconds mattered there, but everything else was Python). The speed differences between Python and C++ are so much smaller these days that you only need them at the scale of the really big companies. It makes sense for Google to use C++ (and they use their own version of it to boot), but any company with less than 100 engineers is probably better off with Python in almost all cases. Honestly thought the best programming language is the one you like, and the one that you're good at.

Design patterns mostly don't matter. They really were only created to make up for language failures of C++; in the original design patterns book 17 of the 23 patterns were just core features of other contemporary languages like LISP. C++ was just really popular while also being kinda bad, so they were necessary. I don't think I've ever once thought about consciously using a design pattern since even before I graduated. Object oriented design is mostly in the same place. You'll use classes because it's a useful way to structure things but multiple inheritance and polymorphism and all the other terms you've learned really don't come into play too often and when they do you use the simplest possible form of them. Code should be simple and easy to understand so make it as simple as possible. As far as inheritance the most I'm willing to do is to have a class with abstract functions (i.e. classes where some functions are empty but are expected to be filled out by the child class) but even then there are usually good alternatives to this.

Related to the above: simple is best. Simple is elegant. If you solve a problem with 4000 lines of code using a bunch of esoteric data structures and language quirks, but someone else did it in 10 then I'll pick the 10. On the other hand a one liner function that requires a lot of unpacking, like a Python function with a bunch of nested lambdas, might be easier to read if you split it up a bit more. Time to read and understand the code is the most important metric, more important than runtime or memory use. You can optimize for the other two later if you have to, but simple has to prevail for the first pass otherwise it's going to be hard for other people to understand. In fact, it'll be hard for you to understand too when you come back to it 3 months later without any context.

Note that I've cut a few things for simplicity. For example: VHDL doesn't quite require every line to run at the same time, but it's still a major paradigm of the language that isn't present in most other languages.

Ok that was a lot to read. I guess I have more to say about programming than I thought. But the core ideas are: Python is pretty good, other languages don't need to be scary, learn your data structures and algorithms and above all keep your code simple and clean.

[roofertocybersecurity]

Finished Course 1 of the Google Cyber Security Certification.

Took a few days off from the cyber course because I've been chocka with work and I also went off on several tangents. I started a Data Science course using K means clustering, I started a Psychology course and found a few AI and climate change courses I'd like to do. Finally got back to the Cyber course today - I will say that even though I do have a tendency to engage my wandering mind I found my way back to the cyber course an felt the same enthusiasm as I did when I first started; which is a rarity for me I'll be honest.

I did however keep my mind somewhat focused on the cyber security stuff by watching the Hack Google series on YouTube. Through this I obviously went off onto other tangents and watched an interesting video about Google Research working with wild fire researchers to enable earlier detection systems and better modelling to fight the fires and save more lives. This is the importance of data and this is what we are capable of as a species, data is not just an advertisers wet dream.

Anyway on to course 2 which is Play It Safe: Manage Security Risks.

I wonder how I could create a career using these newly gained skills to help in the climate crisis fight? That would be a worthwhile career.

 The Future of Digital Marketing: Exploring Emerging Trends and Strategies

In the dynamic world of digital marketing, being ahead of the curve is critical for efficiently reaching and engaging audiences in a continuously changing marketplace. As we look ahead, new technologies, changing customer behaviors, and inventive techniques are defining the future of digital marketing. Let's look at some developing trends and strategies that are likely to shape the future of this intriguing field.

Personalized Marketing

Personalization will continue to be a key component of successful digital marketing campaigns. Marketers can create highly personalized experiences tailored to individual interests and behaviors by leveraging massive volumes of data and advanced analytics. From personalized email campaigns to dynamic website content and targeted advertising, organizations will use personalization to increase customer engagement and conversions.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning

Artificial intelligence and machine learning are transforming digital marketing by enabling automation, predictive analytics, and real-time personalization. AI-powered chatbots improve customer care, while predictive analytics help marketers anticipate consumer wants and optimize advertising. As AI evolves, its position in digital marketing will only grow, providing marketers with strong tools for streamlining operations and delivering more effective campaigns.

Voice search optimization

Voice search is growing increasingly popular as virtual assistants like Siri, Alexa, and Google Assistant gain traction. Optimizing content for voice search necessitates a shift in SEO tactics, with a focus on conversational keywords and brief, straightforward responses to frequent requests. Marketers must respond to this trend by optimizing content for voice inquiries to ensure exposure in voice search results.

Video Marketing Dominance

Video content continues to dominate digital platforms, catching the audience's attention and increasing interaction. Short-form videos on sites such as TikTok and Instagram Reels are especially popular with younger audiences. Live streaming is also growing in popularity, providing authentic and participatory experiences for viewers. Incorporating video into marketing efforts will be critical for organizations seeking to connect with viewers in meaningful ways.

Influencer Marketing Evolution

Influencer marketing is moving beyond traditional endorsements to prioritize authenticity, transparency, and long-term connections. Consumers demand authentic recommendations from relatable personalities; therefore, micro-influencers with narrow followings are becoming more popular. Brands will need to work strategically with influencers to develop authentic content that resonates with target audiences and is consistent with brand values.

Augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR)

AR and VR technologies are altering customer experiences by enabling marketers to provide immersive and interactive content. From virtual try-on experiences in the cosmetics business to virtual tours of real estate properties, AR and VR are transforming product presentation and narrative. As these technologies become more widely available, marketers will use AR and VR to increase engagement and drive conversions.

Sustainability and purpose-driven marketing

Consumers are increasingly drawn to brands that value sustainability and social responsibility. Purpose-driven marketing that supports environmental or social causes appeals to conscious consumers. To gain the trust and allegiance of socially conscious customers, brands must legitimately integrate sustainability into their marketing strategy, emphasizing transparency and accountability.

Conclusion

The future of digital marketing is dynamic and diverse, fueled by innovation, technology, and shifting customer behavior. By embracing emerging trends and implementing innovative methods, brands can navigate this changing landscape more effectively than ever before. As we move ahead, tailored experiences, AI-driven analytics, immersive content, and purpose-driven initiatives will shape the future of digital marketing, allowing organizations to make meaningful connections and generate long-term success in the digital age. Embrace these trends and methods to stay ahead in the fascinating journey of digital marketing transformation.

There are so, so, so many reasons why this incredibly fake story is incredibly fake. But I just keep reading the API technobabble and I can't stop laughing.

Mf out here bragging about how not only is their code unreadable and unmaintainable, but also their documentation is unreadable and undiscoverable. The problem that this creative writer has is that they need to be indispensable in this story, but unfortunately an indispensable programmer is uniquely gifted at making themself superfluous as quickly and efficiently as possible in as many contexts as possible.

The "nobody is familiar with Python" part is probably my favorite. Python is one of the easiest programming languages to learn. It's so easy that it's the language that engineers (real engineers like chemical engineers, biomedical engineers, material engineers, not software engineers developers) use to help them automate things in their work. Anyone who is familiar with any other programming language can pick up Python in under an hour. You who are familiar with zero programming languages could probably pick up a decent amount of Python in a month. Try it! It is probably easier than you think.

More reasons why this fake story is fake:

This is posted on r/antiwork. It's one of the subreddits infamous for fake stories of bad bosses

It's a multipart series. One of the tropes of fake Reddit stories is the escalating updates. Creative writers hear an encore and they keep going back for more

It's a bit ambiguous how long this person has been in industry, but given the context of missing multiple children's school functions, I think 10+ years of experience is a cautious estimate. That is long enough in software for you to be a team lead, if not a people manager yourself. This person should be training junior devs. They explicitly say that they aren't

Software is incredibly collaborative. There's no way a manager would turn down an offer to train new devs on the existing tooling

Moreover there's no way the code got push to production without several eyes on it. Most companies do either code reviews or pair programming or both. It makes no sense that zero other people understand what's going on with this code. Unless it's really buggy

The fact that someone tried to use it and it corrupted a CSV file (??) shows that it's actually really buggy. If the software was so good, anyone would be able to run it

That goes double for the documentation being so bad that nobody knows how to read it. The entire purpose of documentation is to explain how code works. You failed at your one job.

If the only documentation is something that's hard to find, that looks bad on OOP for two reasons: 1) Documentation is normally put inline next to the code precisely for the reason that it would be easy to find. Don't want to see what a nightmare their code with no inline docs looks like. 2) Their programming practices are so bad that their other documentation is hard to find. The program should have a file called README that either has all the documentation or tells you where to find all the documentation.

This violates NDA so bad

"Out of compliance" for what? Which regulation? Why do they have a deadline to regain compliance? They should already be suffering whatever fines or consequences or whatever for already being out of compliance. It would make more sense if they were at risk of being out of compliance if they didn't implement XYZ by January

There's a lot of weird wording here that indicates a lack of familiarity with software: "complex API", "documentation library", "single threaded". That's not how we use those terms

If you're a software developer for a company the size of Disney (ABC's parent) then what OOP asked for is your starting salary straight out of undergrad. Def not a raise for a senior engineer who's been in industry 10+ years. Def not more than their manager is making.

At a company that size, your direct manager has no ability to decide what the terms of your hiring agreement would be. Def not over text. It would need to go through HR and probably legal as well

"Legal checked the contract and there's a clause stating" lmao get outta here!

How To Conduct Effective Logo Design Research

Logo design is an essential element of branding that captures the fundamental nature of a company or an individual in a solitary visual depiction. A proficient logo is more than just a work of art; it is a strategic instrument that communicates a brand’s identity, values, and mission. Even before you start the creative process of logo design, it is important to conduct a comprehensive research and gather sources of inspiration. This initial phase guarantees that the ultimate design connects with the intended audience and distinguishes itself in a competitive market. This blog will examine different strategies and techniques that are generally used for performing efficient logo design research and approaches for collecting inspiration. The step by step strategies for conducting efficient logo design research, its methods for research and collecting inspiration can guide the designers to produce logos that possess both aesthetic appeal and have a significant influence. 

Comprehend The Essence and Identity of The Brand

Before undertaking a logo design job, it is important to gain a comprehensive understanding of the brand. This entails exploring the brand’s objectives, mission, values, and historical background. A thorough comprehension of the brand will direct the design process and guarantee that the logo precisely mirrors the brand’s identity. To understand the brand, one must actively involve themselves in the company’s goal statement, its narrative, its future vision, brand’s core values and principles. The question should include: Who are the intended customers? What specific feelings should the logo elicit? These basic comprehensions can establish a strong base on which the design can be constructed, guaranteeing that each component of the logo has a specific purpose and is in complete harmony with the brand’s fundamental statement.

Target Audience Analysis

Understanding the target audience is essential when designing a logo that deeply connects with them. Engaging in audience research increases comprehension of the inclinations, cultural subtleties, and curiosities of the intended target audience. Audience research can be done using methods like surveys, focus groups, or social media analysis. The accurate comprehension of the demographic characteristics, including age, gender, income, and lifestyle preferences, facilitates the customization of the logo design to appeal and attract the target audience. For example, the appearance of a logo designed for a government organization will be significantly different from the logo of a children’s toy brand. The objective is to develop a design that effectively communicates with the consumer at an emotional and psychological level. 

Collect Visual Stimuli For Inspiration

Gathering visual stimuli for artistic procedure can encompass a wide range of subjects, including art, architecture, nature, historical monuments, local birds or even the culture. A mood board can be compiled to assist in categorizing various sources of inspiration and igniting fresh concepts. A mood board is a compilation of visuals, including images, colors, textures, and typography, that is intended to bring out the desired aesthetic and emotional response for the logo. This will function as a visual point of reference throughout the design process. The designers can also utilize platforms such as Behance and Pinterest, utilize actual cuts from publications, to gather and organize their sources of inspiration. This visual analysis will aid in discovering recurring motifs and artistic techniques that can be integrated into the logo design, ensuring its distinctiveness and aesthetic appeal.
