Rethinking Python: Is it Really a Great First Language?
One of the problems with getting started as a software developer is figuring out the order in which they should learn things. When beginners see statements like "Language X is easy" or "Language X is popular," they think that an easy and popular path would also lead to success in the field.
Python is a great example of this. It's popular and has relatively easy syntax to learn, but it is not a great choice as a first language for most people.
In this video, Eric covers the reality of finding entry-level developer jobs in Python and how its popularity can mislead aspiring developers into spending time learning a skill that doesn't help as much as it should in finding your first developer role.
Before the pitchforks and torches come out from the community, Eric explains what type of professionals benefit from knowing Python (Spoiler alert! It's not web developers!) and where in your career arc as a software developer it makes sense to add it as a skill.
