1. "_experienced_ coders" are in demand, and bootcamp does not a software engineer make. 2. A lot of companies _think_ / pretend there is a shortage of skilled candidates. Those wh…

I live in NY and am considering a role at an online sports betting company in NJ (gambling is legal in NJ). It's a legitimate company and the money is good. However, I'm worried th…

We don't really know that BC the OP doesn't say whether or not he / she makes it to the onsite or how he / she did on code challenges, technical questions, etc. We only know that "…

It's tempting to believe that it's not your fault and the world is out to get you but the best thing to do is figure out where you're falling short and try to fix it. Most companie…

I would suggest reading Phillip Agee. If you believe in America's STATED ideals (which are different from its ACTUAL ideals), you will not want to work for the CIA after reading Ag…

Amen. It's also important to be able to identify a suspected criminal at large, a missing person, or the victims of an accident. It's also necessary to properly identify people to …

This is a great thread! From my perspective, if a job sucks, it's usually because the projects are managed poorly. Here are some things I ask to try and gauge how projects are run:…

Awful idea. Hire based on merit. Stop trying to enforce equality of outcomes.

I'm 43 years old and I've struggled with chronic depression since I was about 14 or 15. It's been a long tough journey but I'm doing quite well these days. I will share what worked…

I'm guessing that you're an introvert and being around everyone in the office is what wears you out. If this is case, try and move your desk to a quieter less crowded part of the o…

I think the real mystery here is that it's considered a sport. Can someone explain that to me? I mop the floors in my apartment with a Swiffer all the time. No one ever shows up to…

If I had to guess, the people who made these offensive comments about white males do not believe that their comments were racist or sexist. They have likely been taught at universi…

we're not. No ones cares.

Have you tried a recruiter? Every job I've ever had in tech was through a recruiter. Also where are you located? I'm guessing your location is a big part of your problem.

No shit Sherlock.

Please understand that my question comes from a sincere place. I am not trying to incite some racist thing here. I am on my fourth week working as a contractor for a new firm. Near…

Jeff Bezos is a bald headed cunt. I will crush his tiny shrivelled testacles.

I don't want my family and friends to be ashamed of me. If I get the job, will people know I use PHP?

Go back to 4chan you stupid cunt. Nobody here wants to read your idiotic shit.

I think that any employee, whether remote or not, should see a therapist if they are suffering from depression or any other mental health issue. Hopefully your employer provides yo…

I'm working on a multiple-choice quiz web app for fun (and to use for code samples). The questions are trivia about programming history and other arcana (it's intended to be fun fo…

Of course they should. Back-end developers usually build APIs. Hell, I'm a front-end developer and I can easily answer that question. The only thing I can think of is that the peop…

Hi, I'm trying to learn how to code happy numbers in JS. I've seen a bunch of examples but most are either very difficult to read / understand, use implicity declared global variab…
