Hi I'm Grundel and this is my blog. I graduated from a top univesity in Moscow with CS degree, work at a russian big tech right now. Here I'll be blogposting about things in my life, programming or work. ITT you also can ask me anything about maths/IT/engineering and I'll try to give you 'teens advice or my opinion.

also I'll drop some advice maybe weekly, dunno how long it would take me
1st advice: never ever be scared of pushing yourself beyond your limit. When I started university my classmates were truly smart and all had significant achievements, such as winning in international math olympics, already knowing how to code, deploy a server etc. I had none of that. However, over time, I realised that I also had that dog in me, and my lower knowledge at the start of uni improved my learning capabilities and stress management.
Funny enough a lot of guys who were already very competent at the first year were falling off next semesters because the knowledge bank they had prior to enrolling was emptying out and they've never really learned how to handle stress. Third of my classmates dropped out before finishing, but you never know if you don't try

I would say beginner level is python, just to get a grasp of easy algorithms and such, and if medium level - then Java, C# or Go, they're all the same levelWhich programming language do you think is the easiest to learn?
I say that statically typed languages are easier because static typing helps more with decoupling and breaking down abstract things

Yesterday I got to merge and deploy 2 pull requests, with the one being a timeout for http client (obsessed Async Http Client from xitter didn't work with timeouts natively)
and the second one is adding a simple option to forward specified headers for redirected calls to SIP, today I'll implement it
and then try to decomp story about integration tests, maybe fix some alerts

And also time to another advice
Never be too ashamed of mistakes, mistakes are the best things that make you grow
For about half a year ago, I was on-call and was managing an incident, unfortunately I was too sleepy and typed wrong shit into a dictionary, then slept for 30 minutes. When I woke up I realised I had just fucking nuked our production API because of typo, costing the business about 13k dollars
I was devastated for a week. I got so tilted that I started sweating every incident and learned the domain inside out. Because of that, I literally pre-fired the next three incidents before they even became a thing, and it overall improved my domain knowledge a lot
Be sure to always remember that the only people who don't make mistakes are the ones who don't do anything at all. Stay safe and continue leveling up in the things you like
