How I became (and stayed) a successful programmer
The author says longevity in programming comes from learning from better programmers, leaving the comfort zone from time to time, and solving problems independently before asking for help.
The Immutability of Math and How Almost Everything Else Will Pass
The article argues that while many current programming jobs seem to require little advanced math, future software work in fields like machine learning, data, and security will depend on a strong mathematical foundation.
I’m a boring programmer (and proud of it)
The author rejects labels like rock star, ninja, hacker, and wizard for programmers, arguing that being a solid, hardworking programmer is enough without mystical branding.
The 8 Most In-Demand Programming Languages of 2016
