Ask HN: Learning proper software engineering practices as a student / researcher
2 by testtesting123 | 0 comments on Hacker News.
Hi HN, During my undergrad, I spent time working with programming tasks mainly related to research and I often felt like a lot of it was super messy due to fast research deadlines and most/all others working on the project not worry about the coding. Before I start to do my research as a grad. student, I would like to learn how to construct applications with proper structure. I have looked around the internet and either examples are too simple and contrived or are complex open source projects which make it hard to understand why they do things a specfic way. I have never had to time or intership to work and discuss large projects and how they engineer certain things. I feel like I have learnt a lot of concepts in school in a sandbox and I'm ignoring so many concepts I learned about design patterns and software.
