Any Fulltime Programmers out there?

[Lemur]

Curious to see how many full time programmers there are hanging around here. I'd mentioned it in other places, but I got my start some time around 12 with RM2000 and only later realized that Ruby was the language behind XP + after I'd been working in it for a year or so.

Professionally I'm an Infrastructure Automation and DevOps guy who hacks around with Ruby and Javascript.

I do mainly Java and Python for work. Ruby's great for throwing random one-off things together though so all this RM stuff has helped with a few things.


Maybe rails would be pretty easy to pick up.

I work with that and AngularJS a lot. I may be adding SailsJS to the stack as well.

I wouldn't sell Ruby short on that, it has just as much power as Python, especially with the gems system and metaprogramming (when used wisely.)

 

[Tsukihime]

I have used a couple ruby gems in a few tools I've written and the syntax is pretty nice: no white-space enforcement, no semi-colons or curly braces, really easy to define DSL's.


But I'd probably still go with a more statically typed language for larger projects since the language itself prevents me from forgetting about what I'm looking at.

I worked a little with HTLM and a little of C but nothing really noticeable my expertise is more the Ruby 

as far I know I am more a drawer then a programmer but I learn fast and I project to jump on some Java and flash soon for make some Indie game out of rm

Personally I could never stand Java. I end up switching to Scala or Clojure pretty fast. Fair warning, Flash isn't used much outside of indy games.

No programming language will prevent mistakes, it'd be bad form to assume otherwise. If you really want to utmost limits of static typing and purity where the compiler will catch almost everything, go for Haskell.

I'm a fulltime programmer for a bank, since the start of this year.


Before that I worked for Amaranth Games, local council, and large local grain storage & transport company, all as a full-time programmer.

As of now I'm at Sony on the PS4 team working heavily on AWS Automation. Makes for fun.

While I am not a full time programmer I do enjoy programing. Ruby is by far my most proficient language with Java being my second (haven't done anything in Java for awhile though). Currently trying to teach my self how Regexp works.

[Andar]

I was trained as a programmer (my countries' equivalent to a master in computer sciences) but got sidetracked into general IT support. Haven't done much programming in the last decade as a result, but I have worked in Assembler, Delphi, C/C++ and others.

Yep it is helping me a lot.

hahah  well flash support well the custom graphics and this permit to do animation so I learn it 

 

[whitesphere]

I work as a full time programmer, for a small software company, using mainly Java and C++

Ruby I hack around with on the side, and I've made a few (very simple) scripts.

 

[Dr.Yami]

I'm still a software engineering student, mostly work with PHP, JavaScript, HTML, CSS

Also using Lua for game development :3

 

[Kaelan]

I used to make games in C/C++ & Lua when I was a student, with a little bit of C# towards the end. Picked up Ruby in my senior year when I decided to revisit RPG Maker, having not touched it since 2000. In my day job right now, I mostly do use Java

 

[Zeriab]

Working full time implementing ERP systems working an application specific language called X++.

I'm trying not to let the lack of namespaces give me bad habits. (I am failing of course)

While I am not a full time programmer I do enjoy programing. Ruby is by far my most proficient language with Java being my second (haven't done anything in Java for awhile though). Currently trying to teach my self how Regexp works.

I have written a tutorial which may help as well: https://sites.google.com/site/zeriabsjunk/tutorials/regexp-in-rgss

I'm part of a team working on an ASP.NET application, so I get the wonderful job of programming in both worlds. I regularly get to touch C# along with all the typical web dev stuff (HTML, CSS, JavaScript).

 

[Galenmereth]

I'm a freelance contractor working exclusively with Ruby, Ruby on Rails, and whatever else is required for the interface (which usually means HTML/JS/CSS in different packages). I've been working with it since 2008. I really, really enjoy making a living using Ruby because the language itself is a pleasure to write and work with. I am slowly getting into Clojure and functional programming, but purely for hobby projects.

Clojure for hobby projects? What sort of hobbies are we talking?
