Normally I just post about movies but I'm a software engineer by trade so I've got opinions on programming too.
Apparently it's a month of code or something because my dash is filled with people trying to learn Python. And that's great, because Python is a good language with a lot of support and job opportunities. I've just got some scattered thoughts that I thought I'd write down.
Python abstracts a number of useful concepts. It makes it easier to use, but it also means that if you don't understand the concepts then things might go wrong in ways you didn't expect. Memory management and pointer logic is so damn annoying, but you need to understand them. I learned these concepts by learning C++, hopefully there's an easier way these days.
Data structures and algorithms are the bread and butter of any real work (and they're pretty much all that come up in interviews) and they're language agnostic. If you don't know how to traverse a linked list, how to use recursion, what a hash map is for, etc. then you don't really know how to program. You'll pretty much never need to implement any of them from scratch, but you should know when to use them; think of them like building blocks in a Lego set.
Learning a new language is a hell of a lot easier after your first one. Going from Python to Java is mostly just syntax differences. Even "harder" languages like C++ mostly just mean more boilerplate while doing the same things. Learning a new spoken language in is hard, but learning a new programming language is generally closer to learning some new slang or a new accent. Lists in Python are called Vectors in C++, just like how french fries are called chips in London. If you know all the underlying concepts that are common to most programming languages then it's not a huge jump to a new one, at least if you're only doing all the most common stuff. (You will get tripped up by some of the minor differences though. Popping an item off of a stack in Python returns the element, but in Java it returns nothing. You have to read it with Top first. Definitely had a program fail due to that issue).
The above is not true for new paradigms. Python, C++ and Java are all iterative languages. You move to something functional like Haskell and you need a completely different way of thinking. Javascript (not in any way related to Java) has callbacks and I still don't quite have a good handle on them. Hardware languages like VHDL are all synchronous; every line of code in a program runs at the same time! That's a new way of thinking.
Python is stereotyped as a scripting language good only for glue programming or prototypes. It's excellent at those, but I've worked at a number of (successful) startups that all were Python on the backend. Python is robust enough and fast enough to be used for basically anything at this point, except maybe for embedded programming. If you do need the fastest speed possible then you can still drop in some raw C++ for the places you need it (one place I worked at had one very important piece of code in C++ because even milliseconds mattered there, but everything else was Python). The speed differences between Python and C++ are so much smaller these days that you only need them at the scale of the really big companies. It makes sense for Google to use C++ (and they use their own version of it to boot), but any company with less than 100 engineers is probably better off with Python in almost all cases. Honestly thought the best programming language is the one you like, and the one that you're good at.
Design patterns mostly don't matter. They really were only created to make up for language failures of C++; in the original design patterns book 17 of the 23 patterns were just core features of other contemporary languages like LISP. C++ was just really popular while also being kinda bad, so they were necessary. I don't think I've ever once thought about consciously using a design pattern since even before I graduated. Object oriented design is mostly in the same place. You'll use classes because it's a useful way to structure things but multiple inheritance and polymorphism and all the other terms you've learned really don't come into play too often and when they do you use the simplest possible form of them. Code should be simple and easy to understand so make it as simple as possible. As far as inheritance the most I'm willing to do is to have a class with abstract functions (i.e. classes where some functions are empty but are expected to be filled out by the child class) but even then there are usually good alternatives to this.
Related to the above: simple is best. Simple is elegant. If you solve a problem with 4000 lines of code using a bunch of esoteric data structures and language quirks, but someone else did it in 10 then I'll pick the 10. On the other hand a one liner function that requires a lot of unpacking, like a Python function with a bunch of nested lambdas, might be easier to read if you split it up a bit more. Time to read and understand the code is the most important metric, more important than runtime or memory use. You can optimize for the other two later if you have to, but simple has to prevail for the first pass otherwise it's going to be hard for other people to understand. In fact, it'll be hard for you to understand too when you come back to it 3 months later without any context.
Note that I've cut a few things for simplicity. For example: VHDL doesn't quite require every line to run at the same time, but it's still a major paradigm of the language that isn't present in most other languages.
Ok that was a lot to read. I guess I have more to say about programming than I thought. But the core ideas are: Python is pretty good, other languages don't need to be scary, learn your data structures and algorithms and above all keep your code simple and clean.

Link do meu artigo sobre Geradores de Números Verdadeiramente Aleatórios.
Resumo: Números aleatórios são amplamente utilizados em criptografia, por este motivo, o estudo de geradores de números verdadeiramente aleatórios continua sendo um tema em ascensão. Neste trabalho o objetivo é apresentar uma arquitetura para um gerador verdadeiramente aleatórios (TRNG), baseado em anéis osciladores, com anéis controlados, buscando aumentar a aleatoriedade da sequência gerada, operando em frequências mais elevadas. Os geradores baseados em anéis osciladores exploram o fenômeno do jitter das portas lógicas inversoras. A arquitetura proposta adiciona um controle que faz o chaveamento do anel, ligando e desligando a oscilação. Para implementação do TRNG foi utilizada uma FPGA Stratix II, realizando a síntese com a linguagem de descrição de hardware VHDL, no software Quartus II. As sequências de bits extraídas foram validadas pelo software estatístico NIST, que por meio de vários testes verifica se a sequência de bits produzida pelo gerador é satisfatoriamente randômica.

With that all said and done, we have rounds 1A and 1B ready to go with the following matchups:
Match 1A[0] ActionScript vs Powershell
Match 1A[1] Mathematica vs VBA
Match 1A[2] Lisp vs Java (I'm expecting some good propaganda on this)
Match 1A[3] HTML + CSS vs MATLAB
Match 1A[4] JSFuck vs C++
Match 1A[5] Octave vs SCADA
Match 1A[6] Scheme vs VHDL
Match 1A[7] Assembly vs Lite-C
Match 1B[0] C vs Chicken
Match 1B[1] MIT App Inventor vs Rust
Match 1B[2] LabView vs TypeScript
Match 1B[3] SQL vs Haskell
Match 1B[4] Karel vs Scratch
Match 1B[5] C# vs JavaScript
Match 1B[6] MS Power Automate vs Forth
