I have found myself jumping from technology to technology, which is something I'm trying to do less of, for example; I started a project in Python then when it was pretty much fini…

Thanks for advice! I'll admit I definitely need to refine my engineering skills. Using proper exceptions and writing better methods are something I have been trying to improve.

Do you think it's intrusive to find hiring managers on let's say LinkedIn and send them my resume/letter that way?

I found some local tech meetups near me to check out. Thanks for advice!

Thanks. It's funny, I actually started all of this NOT using Git. I wasn't until I was about 3 months into the Python Geocoder I mentioned about did i start to use Git!

For the past few months I have been trying to find a new job and I can’t seem to find the right position one way or another. I have gotten pretty far in the hiring process with som…

Thanks everyone for the help! I hope to post my site here soon

Thanks for the help! I definitely was confusing VPN with Shared Private Networking and VPC. Just started to read up on the AWS VPC and this is exactly was I needed!

So my goal was to take this code I created in Python, and turn it into a REST engine [Probably via Flask]. The Database Server is running PostgreSQL. I would like to create an appl…

I have developed a service that is REST based, which makes calls to a separate database server. Both of these are currently hosted on digital ocean, as separate servers - probably …

I think just building something you think is interesting or fun. A few months ago, I started to learn Python via the tutorials. After a while, I was able to use it at work for some…

I think I may go the business bank account route though, it seems to complicate things less...and hey maybe my service will be a success : ) Thanks again for the advice

Thanks for the advice! When I file for DBA, lets say "cool internet company", is it best to get the business bank account, EIN, etc? Or can I just skip this step?

I started a project on the side and would like to release it to the world for use - charging users a tiny fee to use the service. My question is - do I now need to file for a busin…

I have been using a dell XPS 13 (got it on a deal for $500) and currently dual boot Ubuntu and Windows 10 Preview. I highly recommend the XPS 13 and you can even buy it will Ubuntu…

So when would be a good time to start using git - perhaps when the project is deployed into beta?

I am working on a project, where my code/db reside on a local VM (Ubuntu server) sitting on my windows machine. My workflow is the currently: 1. Write code on desktop 2. Push chang…

Does anyone here use Dart? I'm curious to how they like it compared to JS.
