Hey everyone,
This topic is aimed at the programmers here. In an effort of improving the programming section, I thought we could share more about our backgrounds, our experiences, our profiles, ...
For instance I know arithma and xterm. So when we talk about code, I am more familiar with their style and patterns. Some of the things I'd like to know more about the forum:
- Who codes in C? What are the predominant languages in the section?
- Who uses vim/emacs? What other text editors/IDE are used?
- Is there anyone here who doesn't work in web development? What fields are you in?
- ... etc etc
So I start:
I am 24, have been programming for a while. I started in college, then did a 6 month internship at a web dev company. Now I'm working in a large corporate structure, where my jobs consists of a repo maintainer. I merge and compile all day.
I did web, but I'm far more interested in system programming on unix. I have Linux and FreeBSD at home and work on Solaris at my job. I am coding a shell in C called AGROS for a hobby. Part of my job involves scripting repetitive tasks. So I do spend a lot of time writing ksh, makefiles, python (next step: awk xD ).
Dev environment
OS I'm usually on : crunchbang 10 statler (Debian)
Editor I'm on all the time: vim
Language I use daily : c, python, ksh
version control I use at home : git (github is a bliss).
