  • 305 When To Learn A Second Programming Language? - Simple Programmer Podcast

    So, this is a question I believe a lot of developers would die to know the answer. As software developers, we usually start learning just one programming language and we then specialize in it.

    So, you start working with that programming language till you master what you can with it. However, there comes a time when we, as software developers, reach a plateau. There are no new things to be learned and we feel like it is time to jump to a second programming language.

    But... When should we do it? How can we know when to learn a second programming language? How can we know that this time spent learning will do more good than harm in terms of not wasting our time?

  • 300 Don't Allow People To Claim Ownership Over Your Life - Simple Programmer Podcast

    This is a topic very important for me to discuss because I believe so many people still fail to understand this.

    Bottom line is: you should not let anyone claim ownership over your life. Your life is yours and you should live it as you want. End of story.

    Besides that sounding a bit harsh, I understand there is a lot more below the surface of my comment. This does not mean you should do everything you want without thinking about the consequences and not caring about what people near you think.

    However, when you start to think about freedom, how can you possibly be free if you control other people's life?

    Watch this video so you can understand the importance of letting people go and not allowing anyone to claim ownership over your life.
