To your question, yes… But it’s a confusing world because the other 99% of ceos are firing any employee that doesn’t use AI first, at least in the tech sector…

Nice!

I’ve been using OuterTune for a couple of months, feels like it’s the current best of the ones still being updated!

I’m with you, MasterBlaster!

It sucks for lots of us, more every day, so at least we’re not miserable, alone.

Just coffee?!? That’s cool.

Mine runs on:

• coffee
• spite
• tortilla chips
• & shame

But it’s not a drop in the bucket… They try to claim it is, by comparing their usage from 2-4 years ago, which has exponentially increased over the last 18 months, to national or global usage, but they completely gloss over;

A single Meta data center in Newton County, Georgia, for instance, now uses about 10 percent of the entire county’s water supply

This is a shit article, from what’s clear to be a shit author Kyle Orland, Ars’ Senior Gaming Editor.

Any use? Always! Exercising your brain will never be a bad investment!

But which language really depends on why you want to learn and what you want to do with it, though! Coming at it from a ‘languages with an abundance of learning resources’ perspective (sorry not exhaustive):

• You want to program devices; LEDs, microcontrollers, sensors, etc? Python!

• You want to make a pretty website? JavaScript with the React framework!

• You want to prototype out a monolithicly big web app quickly? Ruby on Rails!

• You want to make infographics? R!

• You want to start a career in Software Engineering? JavaScript with Node, Go, Rust, or C# with dot-net framework, and many more*. Also, abort, don’t do this, AI is decimating the job seeking field right now.

So, it really depends on what YOU want to do with it. As others have hinted, a programming language is often just ‘syntactic sugar’ to accomplish the same programming concepts. Most all the modern languages can do the same things, just using different function-names/words/syntax. So as a learner, just frankly ignore all the “{X} is best at {Y}” arguments, including those above, and instead: concentrate on the concepts (like loops, recursion, associations, type control, etc, etc, etc.) over the specific language, first. Good luck OP!

I agree.

• Men don’t do this, duchbags do.
• People don’t do this, predators do.
• Humans don’t do this, blights on the species do.

This has been my life for the last nine months. I’m thinking of getting of software development all together for fear that no other place will be any different regarding AI.

Honestly, it all starts going to shite after “hello world.”
