I've read a few books for a couple of programming languages (go, rust), but I still need some kind of project to really see the big picture and think deeply.
What kind of project (besides some CHIP-8 emulator) would you recommend?
Thank you and I'm more than curious about your answers.
Thanks for clicking. I hope I won't waste your time.
It's been some time since I've been struggling with depression. But something else happened for the last two months. I quit my job due to burnout. I couldn't handle the stress anymore and I felt it was a really toxic place.
Fast forward today... I'm still depressed and I still retained many addictions (porn, internet, smartphone, eating at late hours, excessive amounts of coffee) I have developed during this pandemic and working from home.
I still need to get a job eventually, but my brain doesn't let me have a break. I just feel guilty most of the time. If I try to sleep in the afternoon I still wake up panicked about where my life is going.
I tried practicing leetcode lately but I tend to panic and have feelings of guilt when I don't seem to know something trivial. I feel like I've become just a dumber version of myself while having a salary.
For the last 5 years I've been coding in C++. I simply don't want to see CMake anymore. I feel like I missed a lot of exciting stuff in other fields such as Data Science, ML, Cloud computing while I was just looking at compiler flags and treating signals, not even doing embedded, just system programming. I've been looking into Python and Go lately for a change, but I don't feel any real motivation.
Thanks for reading. I really could use some advice. I'm sorry if I wasted your time.
I am currently looking at some blue light filter glasses. I was wondering if I really need them or f.lux and monitor software do enough to block blue light.
I have a background in C++ development and I'm kind of sick of it and recently quit my job due to burnout and toxic environment. I began learning go and rust for a change and it seems more interesting and easy to write.
Regarding tech interviews, I did some research and it seems Python is a lot easier to write algorithms in a short amount of time. I'm considering learning enough Python to deal with coding interviews.
I know most of you would give an answer like "use the language you are most comfortable with", but if, hypothetically speaking, someone knew all languages at the same level, which language would be the easiest and fastest to write code that involves queues, stacks, linked lists, binary trees, etc.?
Thanks for reading. I'm very curious about your answers.
