How do I learn programming/coding faster? Tips and guide
https://www.reddit.com/r/programming/comments/1qgcg95/how_do_i_learn_programmingcoding_faster_tips_and/

<!-- SC_OFF -->Hello! I'm currently A 1st year College student who Takes IT. And right now is my 2nd Semester. I didn't learn much in the 1st Semester . And I'm going to get serious now. Tell me, Aside from mastering coding/programming from Doing A Hands On While learning, Is it also crucial to learn or buy a text books which specializes Programming Languages like Java or Python? My school only gives us short modules as a guide , and not an entire book, It was very short and it doesn't have enough explanation. I have PDF's Books with a thousand of pages, But I'm not used to studying in a Laptop as well and my eyesight will totally getting worse. And I don't have enough budget to by a book. So, should I get myself get used to study in my laptop? And focused on doing more hands-on coding and programming by applying what I've studied? Or should I really buy books? I really wanted to learn this Course so bad, and If I want to learn something, I really want to dig deeper on it and fully understand how it works, not just by putting a code. <!-- SC_ON --> submitted by /u/No_Childhood7709 (https://www.reddit.com/user/No_Childhood7709)

Reliability > Shipping speed. Fight me.
https://www.reddit.com/r/programming/comments/1qgxl7w/reliability_shipping_speed_fight_me/

<!-- SC_OFF -->Building a Yahoo Finance MCP server. Day 3: 17 timeouts in 20 requests. Most devs would ship anyway and call it "MVP." I spent 2 weeks engineering resilience instead. Here's what I built: ๐Ÿ”น Circuit breaker โ€” CLOSED/OPEN/HALF_OPEN states with auto recovery ๐Ÿ”น Token bucket + adaptive + per-endpoint rate limiting ๐Ÿ”น LRU cache with stale-while-revalidate โ€” 70-90% hit ratio ๐Ÿ”น Data quality scoring โ€” Completeness + integrity validation ๐Ÿ”น Chaos tests โ€” Network failures, rate limits, partial data PM decision: Don't ship unreliable code. Your 2-day ship time doesn't matter if your bot dies at 2 AM. Built with AI as my pair programmer (TRAE ๐Ÿ˜). TRAE caught edge cases I'd miss. We debated tradeoffs. We wrote chaos tests together. The results: โœ… 95%+ test coverage โœ… โœ… 13+ tools verified working โœ… Production-grade resilience Known issues: - Crypto/forex = placeholder data - Financials = may fail for some symbols The hard truth: Building on unreliable APIs? Either engineer resilience or inherit their unreliability. tl;dr: Chose 2 weeks of resilience over 2-day ship time. PM decision was reliability > speed. AI pair programmer helped. 95% test coverage. <!-- SC_ON --> submitted by /u/kanishkanmd (https://www.reddit.com/user/kanishkanmd)

Chasing a newline

<!-- SC_OFF -->What's the ASCII representation of a newline \n character? We can write a simple program to print out some text with a newline, and then look at the binary output... <!-- SC_ON --> submitted by /u/Idiomatic-Oval (https://www.reddit.com/user/Idiomatic-Oval)

The hidden cost of PostgreSQL arrays
https://www.reddit.com/r/programming/comments/1qh13xf/the_hidden_cost_of_postgresql_arrays/

<!-- SC_OFF -->Very thoughtful piece on the tradeoffs of Postgres ARRAYs that in many case can replace one-to-many & many-to-many relationships: Wait? Are we going to talk about JSONB arrays? Not at all. The whole concept of arrays in RDBMSs is actually document storage in disguise. In database design, locality ensures faster retrieval times by keeping related data close on physical storage.Whether you use a distinct integer[] type or a JSON list [1, 2, 3], you are making the exact same architectural decision: you are prioritising locality over normalisation. <!-- SC_ON --> submitted by /u/BinaryIgor (https://www.reddit.com/user/BinaryIgor)

Learning Rust as a working software engineer (real dev vlog)
https://www.reddit.com/r/programming/comments/1qhf5l3/learning_rust_as_a_working_software_engineer_real/

<!-- SC_OFF -->I recently started learning Rust and recorded a short dev vlog showing the very early phase - reading docs, writing code, getting confused, and dealing with the compiler. This isnโ€™t a tutorial or polished content, just learning in public and sharing how Rust actually feels at the beginning. Video here:
