  4. learning Rust to get a deeper understanding seems like good advice. only problem is that the Rust compiler is much more pedantic than C and C++, so next to learning about things like pointers, you would also have to learn other concepts at the same time like the borrow checker. it doesn't have to be a problem though, but it's something to consider. also, i don't agree calling languages "higher", for lacking static typing. this is usually a bad thing

  5.  @platin2148  if you look at TypeScript or C#, then those have static type checking and lack pointers. but that doesn't mean that JavaScript is higher level, than those just because it lacks static type checking. static type checking is a separate issue

  6.  @platin2148  ok. but, what does that have to do with static type checking?

  7. i don't think that maths improves code quality. being good at computer science would help though

  10. some good tips, but i think there has been too much focus on auxiliary skills. here and in general. it's much better to look at actual job requirements, for jobs you are interested in, and focus on those skills
