  • Academic security research is constitutionally bad because academia as an environment selects people with a “hacker mentality” out at the freshman stage.

    It’s inherently biased towards rule-followers. That’s not a bad thing, but it means it’s bad at some things. Such as computer security research.









  • All the cool kids right now are mostly on JavaScript/type script. It’s probably a good place to get started since you’ll need it on the front end.

    I’m guessing most work on the U.S. side is react. You can probably pick up a bit of node/react native as you go for the backend and for native dev.

    Java is the new COBOL. Big corps luuuuuuuuurve it. It’s not what I would expect a single dev to use. C# is similar but smaller, if you forget unity game dev. And you should forget unity game dev.

    Rust is basically a less bad C. If you do things you used to do in C, learn rust. If not, don’t.

    Python is also still a thing. If you like it you can probably use it for most things, but if not there are other options.
