>that's 20 hours you aren't spending building stuff or honing your skills My problem is it always seems like I'm building skills to help some capitalist be more rich or make more m…

Word of mouth can still help you, but you at least need to find the community where people have the shared problem, so their recommendations have weight Overcoming the initial "why…

Doesn't shock me considering the hard work -> nice life pipeline is in shambles in the US and it wouldn't surprise me if that's true for other countries too And we also chose to ex…

You're not too pessimistic yet. Projects that devolved into spaghetti paid their engineers roughly the same as they will pay new ones. Looking at the incentives, it's hard to take …

>when i lived in a van i spent twice as much per month repairing it as i had on renting my san francisco apartment I just straight-up do not believe that dollar amount, lol You had…

I've had good tickets where things were laid out like 1) here's the golden path, 2) here's where I want you to put everything, 3) here's how we handle expected errors, 4) here's al…

Why would you need to collude for higher rents with RealPage if a shortage of housing was the primary driver of rent increases? If someone's being that greedy, they can't really us…

Which is small compared to Bitcoin + Ethereum's market cap (which will also grow). So if you think blockchain is bullshit, then VR/AR definitely is.

I could deal with the hype cycles better if the industry had more solid foundations on the basic stuff like CRUD apps and websites. We're still pretty lousy at it. It feels like a …

>Then blame the board imo Half of them would look like job hoppers with such short tenures on their resume. Some of them have simultaneous executive positions at other companies. I…

Why would you, 1) Learn a complex skill like software development (which now includes devops stuff), 2) learn a complex business domain, and 3) get paid for only doing one? Pay up.…

>Robotics and AI are rapidly advancing and it's going to have a substantial impact to supply chains and labor markets over the coming decades, regardless of what happens with inter…

>Out of interest, what "patterns from the .NET framework era" do you think don't work well in .Net core? Overriding equals to do memberwise comparisons on POCOs Any checking of typ…

The language itself is nice, the code bases that companies produce with it is not, and sadly that reputation plays into your decision to choose a career stack. You're going to have…

Does this accept the floorplans you see on apartment websites, or can it accept draft floorplans like this? https://starttofinishdrafting.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/08...

>Isn't it what's everybody does in the industry?! We built against Stripe's sandbox and never had to test in production, so I never had to use a real credit card. It may have happe…
