  • Not so much well defined as fancy words. There is no example of a paying software development job that has no economic impact if the software were to fail.

    If I ran a small shopify page for goat feed, I’d be an engineer for making sure the site stayed working so farmers could order their feed. It could even put lives at risk!

    It really only excludes someone privately working on a video game for fun.

    So given that, what are they actually regulating? What are they providing to their members to help them become better “software engineers”. I say it’s nothing at all? +






  • Totally, but I’m not aware of anyone using either properly in a truly production environment. Both are more on the hobbyist or tinkering side, or in the Linux space anyway where you can already just do anything.

    (From what I’ve seen? Would be thrilled to see examples!)

    I really like Micropython too. I made a “game” that communicates state between multiple boards over wifi in almost no time compared to how long it would take in C++.



  • I’m not suggesting replacing the small programs with one mega Python script, I meant that even C is not a good language for that either.

    If you’re chaining a bunch of stuff together through your shell environment anyway, you’re not using the low level benefits of C, so you’re just punishing yourself with having to implement everything by hand every time! Python is amazing because the syntax is clear and readable and the standard library has nearly everything you’d need if you’re not building a large application.

    However since most of these things are going to be one-liners then yeah you may want to just put them in one script!
