I’m currently working on a project in C where I have a choice between using a library for hash tables or simply creating my own hash table from scratch.
What would look better on a Github portfolio from an employability perspective?
No. Nazis should fuck off.
Devs should just fuck.
I did it recently. Its like watching your computer commit seppuku.
OI WOTS AWL DIS DEN, GUVNAH?
No, it’s Kubernetes.
Edit: Also, that etymology explains the strange adjectival form, gubernatorial, for governor races.

Thats okay I love them both. But not equally. (Don’t tell Python).
Really? I had an app that would autogenarate time sheets for work in Google Sheets. I decided to minimise API calls by doing a single call to Google Drive then parse the HTML and reupload. Not a big Python project but ChatGPT hit a wall pretty fast on that one. Though, tbf the documentation was suprisingly opaque so I suppose that goes back to your point.
That project also produced my finest pile of spaghetti code since I had to account for stretched cells in the HTML parsing. I still have a piece of paper with my innumerate math scribbles. The paper makes sense to me. The code does not.
Ah the project was just an excuse to familiarise myself with low-level network code. It’s basically just a simple TUI app that takes a list from a popular comics podcast website and allows the user to locally track the comics they’ve read then update the list when the a new podcast comes out adding additional comics to the list.
I could have done the project in a quarter of the time in Python. But I wanted to get a strong foundation in low-level socket programming, network protocols, TLS and HTML parsing. I suppose on some level I’m just interested in those things.
That said, you probably have a point. Maybe I should just look into Rust and Go. I’ve had some fun with the latter.

Automate the Boring Stuff with Python is a good way to get many of the general foundations through a series of projects.

Hey! What is that color scheme? I love it.

Once worked contract work at an hourly rate for a business that insisted on random unpaid meetings out of hours.
That’s when I learned that you can filter emails based on the source and the words they contain.

How is Lua further down along the Nu Lang axis than Go, Rust and Nim?
