Dan:
That feels like what I do.
Christy:
It pretty much makes our company sound more official.
Dan:
Yeah, like there’s some kind of process.
Christy:
That’s totally how we were.
Dan:
I mean I think within the company its lots of different skills, but because we both are not hashtag developers just standard tag developers we’re going to talk a little bit about technology.
Christy:
Yay.
Dan:
Yay, but don’t worry its not going to get too technical because I’m scared of getting found out.
Christy:
Yeah, yeah exactly you getting fucking rooted out.
Dan:
Absolutely. That’s the last thing I need. I suppose one thing people come and ask us when we’re sitting down people considering when we’re specking out projects is what you’re going to build it in?
Christy:
Yeah. Well, everyone always seems to, well not everyone. There’s a large majority that kind of turn up with this. They’ve potentially heard some kind of buzz word along the way of some technology and they’ve turned up with that in their head. They’re like ‘I’m prepared for this meeting. I know what technology I need and like we’re going to need the databases and the JavaScripts.’ They come in and they’re definitely just like ‘This is what we need and it has to be like that.’ That’s sort of the beginning of the battle wars there. Potentially they have come in with the perfect choice for what they need to do, but then there’s still the whole process by trying to like pretend that that is the perfect choice.
Dan:
I think its probably because its something they know not very much about, but its also a quite high profile thing like what’s it built in? Its seen as I suppose a certain coolness to it in a way.
Christy:
Oh, yeah. Definitely.
Dan:
If people are looking to do a tech startup a lot of the people though look at will be quite vocal about what programming language they use and its just a lot of noise out there, I suppose. I mean its one of those questions you cannot Google ‘which is the best programming language?’ You won’t get anything useful.
Christy:
I think Google might hijack that one. It definitely comes up at ‘go’.
Dan:
Yeah. They know that one.
Christy:
What a joke.
Dan:
Yeah.
Christy:
Why would you call your name with ‘go’. See how hard that is to Google for help. Go, go help. Like go. Your browser just figures you’re talking to it. Go!
Dan:
Yeah. I never thought of that.
Christy:
Yeah, any way. Bad naming there.
Dan:
Bad naming, but I think you cannot Google ‘What is the best programming language?’ and get anything sensible back. Its like Googling for ‘Whats the best city in the world?’
Christy:
There’s probably a tool out there, like ‘what programming language should I use?’. I’m always certain that it will be like some form of offensive response.
Dan:
Oh, yeah and completely. Its just people yelling at each other and that I think people see that and think well, these are people who know what they’re doing i.e., developers and they’re very, very opinionated. This must be very, very important. What they’re saying and the winner of this argument is basically right and that’s the programming language which used.
