Is mint slower than Ubuntu? A bit surprised to hear an Ubuntu derivative called slow

Every job you mean, of course anything you do at work is your company's property.

I didn't bother reading the other answers, but few things I can say:

  • netbeans is crap, intellij is much better
  • if you go with python, please do bundle the runtime and do not use the system one. No one will if your software is 5mb bigger, but they will care if they need to manually create the python environment (if they have both the patience and knowledge to do so, the intersection of which is rather small I reckon)
  • if you go with Qt, use QtCreator, the integration is great. Please do not use visual studio (especially if you're going to use qt). It's slow, expensive, unstable, dumb, slow, both too complex yet missing trivial features, and slow.

Yeah let's audit code using heuristic tools, after all safety is just about probabilities in the first place!

Ugh I think the gap between c and c++ is wider than between java and Javascript, but admittedly I haven't done much of the latter two

He has a rant where he's calling software engineers basically idiots who don't know what they're doing, saying the need for unit tests is a proof of failure. The rest of the rant is just as nonsensical, basically waving away all problems as trivial exercises left to the mentally challenged practitioner.

I have not read anything from/about him besides this piece, but he reeks of that all too common, insufferable, academic condescendance.

He does have a point about the theoretical aspect being often overlooked, but I generally don't think his opinion on education is worth more than anyone else's.
