Languages, libraries & frameworks to avoid in 2020

Nicolas Verinaud - Aug 20 '19 - - Dev Community

What a catchy title, and you clicked on it ! 😜

I'm gonna be brief : avoid learning any languages, libraries & frameworks next year.

Instead, I suggest you to focus on one thing : doing your job, as a programmer, really well.

That is :

  • be more disciplined, computer science is a science and it needs care ; careless programmers create mess, bugs and make their company loose money & opportunities,
  • seek for deep knowledge beyond the next React / Angular / Vue / [insert hype here] version, for example go learn why you probably do not need kafka or event sourcing or microservices,
  • pick your already-known-so-boring-day-to-day language and learn how to not create bugs with it everytime you touch your favorite codebase ; learn how to design using the powerful features of it ; read books about writing code that are easy to read & understand instead of Vue documentation,
  • learn how your business works, you are creating software for real people, be empathetic with them.

That's it, brief I said. 😉
