You'd have to search for a GitHub-specific extension.

Yeah, I was jsut wondering if anyone knew of a specific one that works. I've tried gitlens, git issues and a couple of others that didnt do this

ok. SO best I can find is Github Issues extension. It gives this: I can then right click the issue nad go to linked code and it opens the file and highlights the line. Still not ideal though.

Do you want to maximize the chance of getting a job, or a job you'll like?

Both if possible

JavaScript is probably the most ubiquitous, followed by python and Java You can also put your chips on more niche languages which could gel well with your existing background, from Haskell to APL

I'm a self taught data scientist with a background in social science, so my 2¢ here is: I think you'll do best as a candidate not just by listing a particular language on your résumé but by working on projects that use your academic training and expertise. If you can show how your programming skills are a force multiplier on your academic knowledge, then I think you will stand out in a world of create-react-app cookie cutter portfolio projects. I'm the only Clojure programmer at my current job, but that didn't stop me from getting the role because it was a new research position and I had my choice of technology. One language in particular besides Clojure that's well suited to your background and worth looking into is https://julialang.org/: a scientific computing language with some Lisp heritage and strong interoperability with both R and Python that's gaining popularity in academic fields. This is, of course, assuming you want to continue using your economics training in your professional work rather than shifting towards a purely software development/engineering role.

If i wanted to purely maximize my chances of getting a job I'd go back to a Kubernetes YAML devops role or Spark programmer but that would likely not be "a job I like."

@UFTRLDZEW Thank you for your input. I think I would greatly benefit from learning more about your experience. Did you learn Clojure as a hobby, and is your main language and was able to land you the job? How is your practical experience doing data science in Clojure? Though I did a little bit of python and am aware of Julia, I am more attracted to Clojure because of opening other opportunities in case I decide to build an app (even if applying my skills from my economics background). Anyway, let me know if we can connect further. Thanks again!
