Do we need to be good in math like algebra , probability , statistics to be a Good Software Engineer ?

How would you test a Software Engineer or Programmer to find whether he really knows to code ? Will you ask him to write c or c++ programs or ask some questions on technology ?

Which is the first programming language do you recommend to learn to know the fundamentals of computer programming ? Is C# or Python Or Java a good start ?

Recently I heard Microsoft has released Blazor.NET web framework which works with WebAssembly technology. i.e Now Blazor will allow you to use C# code client-side. No need to learn huge complex JavaScript frameworks/libraries like Angular, React, NodeJS etc. What do you think about these innovations ? Is this is the future of the web technology ? Isn't this will help developers stop learning JavaScript and rather develop Client side apps using any one Server side technology like C#, Java etc ? :)

Hi Sandeep, Hashnode its good initiative for Programming community. Appreciate you and your team. I have some feature requests and Questions. Feature Requests: Make pagination , If i want to go to last response i have click Load more responses again and again. Kindly check attached image. Make content's more Categorized and fastly accessible, may be via left sidebar or tags. Like even this post If I want to read questions related Future of Hashnode , Now I have to click Load more responses again and again. Questions: Initially you have learned Angular but used React to bulid Hashnode , Why ? Is react better than Angular in speed ? Hashnode UI looks similar to medium.com , Is this FLAT design or Material design ? and What UI technology has been used for UI design ? What makes Hashnode fast ? is it because of NodeJS and React or because of high end cloud edge servers or caching servers ? :)

Hi Jeff, thanks. But Is It good time to leave Software Engineer career and became a Data Scientist instead ? Or Should I be focused as a Software Engineer with mix of Data Science and AI skills like Python, R Programming etc. ?

I am a .Net Software Engineer with 4 years of experience. Recently I saw that Data Science and AI is booming and provides lot of opportunities with high paying Jobs. Today it’s Data Science, but in future it will be some other X technology which may boom and create opportunities. Related to this I have 2 Questions: Is It good time to leave Software Engineer career and became a Data Scientist instead ? Or Should I be focused as a Software Engineer with mix of Data Science and AI skills like Python, R Programming etc. ? How to decide to have best tech career on fast changing technology trends? :)
