Jonathan LamotheI am in urgent job search mode, so I'm gonna throw this out here and see if anything comes of it.I am a <a href="https://social.jlamothe.net/search?tag=Canadian" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Canadian</a>, fluent in both <a href="https://social.jlamothe.net/search?tag=English" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#English</a> and <a href="https://social.jlamothe.net/search?tag=French" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#French</a>. I have experience with several programming languages. My strongest proficiency is with <a href="https://social.jlamothe.net/search?tag=Haskell" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Haskell</a> and <a href="https://social.jlamothe.net/search?tag=C" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#C</a>. I also have a reasonable grasp of <a href="https://social.jlamothe.net/search?tag=HTML" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#HTML</a>, <a href="https://social.jlamothe.net/search?tag=JavaScript" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#JavaScript</a>, <a href="https://social.jlamothe.net/search?tag=SQL" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#SQL</a>, <a href="https://social.jlamothe.net/search?tag=Python" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Python</a>, <a href="https://social.jlamothe.net/search?tag=Lua" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Lua</a>, <a href="https://social.jlamothe.net/search?tag=Linux" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Linux</a> system administration, <a href="https://social.jlamothe.net/search?tag=bash" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#bash</a> scripting, <a href="https://social.jlamothe.net/search?tag=Perl" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Perl</a>, <a href="https://social.jlamothe.net/search?tag=AWK" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#AWK</a>, some <a href="https://social.jlamothe.net/search?tag=Lisp" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Lisp</a> (common, scheme, and emacs), and probably several others I've forgotten to mention.I am not necessarily looking for something in tech. I just need something stable. I have done everything from software development, to customer support, to factory work, though my current circumstances make in-person work more difficult than remote work. I have been regarded as a hard worker in every job I have ever held.<a href="https://social.jlamothe.net/search?tag=GetFediHired" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#GetFediHired</a>

Negative12DollarBillThe paranoid style in <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/programming" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#programming</a>.I'm downloading a bunch of stuff from an <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/api" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#api</a> — I'm doing it in <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/perl" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#perl</a> but I'd do just the same in <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/python" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#python</a> or <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/php" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#php</a> or <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/nodejs" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#nodejs</a> or whatever.I could just do a foreach on about 1,000 urls, bang bang bang but here's what I do instead:• set the user agent to recent Chrome to disguise the fact that I'm using a requests library in case their back end doesn't like me • set the delay between requests to, not just a few seconds, but a *random* few seconds in case their firewall doesn't like me • don't dump the response into a database as soon as I get it, I save it to disk as a .json file because, that's quicker and who knows when the API might quit on me or the db have some issue?Is this just a symptom of my unhappy childhood or does anyone else code this way?

Christos Argyropoulos MD PhDIMHO One of the prime reasons that most code found in academic (and perhaps corporate?) settings suck is because we don't teach people to use functional programming constructs.
