The Importance Of Partying With Colleagues

Today we are going to talk about P-A-R-T-I-I-I-I-E-S! Yeah, this is what this channel is all about. Partying! Ok, maybe not.

So, in today's video I've received a question from a reader asking me about the importance of partying with colleagues. He says that he has been accepted in a new company and that his colleagues are asking him to go out.

The problem is that he does not like all this party stuff. He founds it really boring and he does not like to drink or to stay up late. Can it hurt his reputation in any way? Can he miss networking opportunities by turning down these opportunities?

Recently, I'm reading a lot of business books and this one came up on my queue and I've decided to give it a shot.

Here is the book description, extracted from Amazon: "The measure of the executive, Peter F. Drucker reminds us, is the ability to "get the right things done." This usually involves doing what other people have overlooked as well as avoiding what is unproductive. Intelligence, imagination, and knowledge may all be wasted in an executive job without the acquired habits of mind that mold them into results.

Drucker identifies five practices essential to business effectiveness that can, and must, be learned: Managing time Choosing what to contribute to the organization Knowing where and how to mobilize strength for best effect Setting the right priorities Knitting all of them together with effective decision-making Ranging widely through the annals of business and government, Peter F. Drucker demonstrates the distinctive skill of the executive and offers fresh insights into old and seemingly obvious business situations."

So, I've seen a lot of people asking me this question, about what does C/C++ mean.

Well, for new software developers this might not make any sense, after all, why do these companies put in their job listing "we want a C/C++ developer"?

I've had this doubt myself back then and this is totally normal.

This is exactly what George asked me: "What I don't understand is why I always see C/C++ in the job listing,as far as I know those are different languages and somebody told me that C is mostly for hardware and embedded devices and I'm currently not that interested in that but why do we always see the C/C++ thing and not only one language,do people really always use both languages at the same job?Is it a bad idea to leave C aside and focus on C++ because I am really interested in competitive programming right now?"

So, do you wanna know why some companies ask for C/C++ programmers?
