I'm looking into learning a new programming language and I'm torn between Python and Ruby. The goal is to get a job at a startup; Stripe is the main goal. Does anyone know if its actually fun to code with? #programminglanguage #python #ruby #careeradvice
please let it 🪦
I love ruby but python is more relevant
Don't really! I used to do Ruby luckily I stopped and moved on.
Knowing Ruby will not help you 1 bit in getting a job here. Knowing it really well will help you after you get selected surely. Half of Stripe uses Java and Go btw.
learn PHP
Better learn rugby
Learn Rust
I like Ruby but don't bother if your goal is getting jobs at top startups in the fintech space. Just do Python and Java.

Women, help me understand why this is inspirational
If your goal is to get a job at a startup, I’d recommend going with Python over Ruby. 5-10 years ago Ruby was a top choice for startups but it’s fallen out of favor since then. It’s not a bad language and lots of companies use it (even for new projects) but Python has a much more significant presence these days. Additionally, there are a number of popular disciplines (like machine learning / AI) where virtually all the work is done in Python.
