Re:Ask HN: Is there a book on writing good code? on Friday April 23, 2021 @10:50AM (#26915295)
Thank you ! It's my birthday soon, just ordered the last one :) I learned how to code at a bootcamp. It's fast and it's not deep knowledge (they teach you the "how" not the "why"), I'm learning fundamentals of CS on my own to bridge the gap. But practically, a few things I'd love to learn : 1. How to write optimized code (best practices ie. in terms of space and time complexity) 2. What is a great software development process ? Design -> Code -> Test ? That kind of process I'm very curious about. Learn how, if I launched a product, should do in terms of steps of development.

Ask HN: Should I Go to Gradschool?

During the summer of 2019, I did a coding Bootcamp which helped me land a job in a new startup as a full-stack developer. I worked there for a year, part-time (I was studying undergraduate economics too). It made me understand that I want to build products with other people. At the end of May, I'll have finished my bachelor of economics. I applied for a couple of Master's degree (business...
