@irene I want USB charging for my laptop. Because sometimes I have to take trips to the West Coast and I can multiple portable chargers for my flights.

@DLMousey wizard@DLMousey I'm offended by that remark lol. I don't wear skinny Jean's or wear a plaid shirt. And I'm definitely not a Rails developer. I use a statically typed language so I feel that alone keeps me out of the hipster club

@vane damn what's up with Poland?

If they actually published this, this would easily make the NY best seller's list.

Python. Javascript is garbage

I hate slides. I'm fine with them if you end it with a demo. But like an hour of slides is a little too much. Keep that shit to 15 minutes and let's see some code. I would rather see you a crew up a demo for 45 minutes than watch slides. That's why I dont attend my local Kubernetes meetup. Slides for days

It has never been a strict requirement to begin with. I worked at Apple without a degree. And yes I was a software engineer. I've gone through the interview process with Google in the past like 2 times. And they were well aware I had no degree. It may be something they mention in a JD but it's never been strictly enforced. I know a lot of people who have worked at Google with no degree.

Google use to be super strict about degrees and higher education. But it relaxed that policy well over 10 years ago

@dtaposh The Starbucks near me has a lot of charging ports, but they're typically hidden under the table. Most people who come in don't know that, so they're always free outlets for me.

Yeah MSI battery sucks. I only use it when I can stay plugged in

I have to be honest. I suck at the front end. If I needed to write a front end I could, but without heavy crutches like bootstrap, the UI would be terrible

@dthree I have seen this nonsense in NYC recently. I went to a small conference in NYC a few months ago, and they had a special panel about addressing people properly in the workspace. They started talking about "gendered terms", and I went for a bathroom break

Canada is even worse than this, and has even passed legislation about this

The uber of blockchains? Count me in

I did Java for 8 years. And I still occasionally have to work with it. I'm not the biggest fan of the language to be perfectly honest. It's a bit of a mess and can feel quite clumsy at times. Its huge on design patterns, and some frameworks hijack your entire codebase fought spring cough. But it's a good language that takes a long time to master. And it makes transitioning to another language fairly easy.

8 years of Java development here. I know the pain. So glad to be doing Go now

VsCode is better anyway

git add . Is bad news

Nice to see Golang on here. I'm a Go developer. Also that's pretty clean. I spot bson and MongoDB as well

fmt.Println("Welcome")

I tend abuse the subcommand.

$kill $(ps -ef | grep mytask | awk -F '{print $2}')

A lot of people confuse "blockchain development" with smart contract development. A blockchain developer would need to know a good bit about encrpytion, merkle trees, and have some knowledge of different consensus algorithms. You would probably need to be pretty advanced in something like C programming along with knowing a good bit about the theory of encryption and have to be very strong mathematically.

Smart-Contract development requires that maybe you understand some blockchain mechanics. But it's at a higher level, and you're more focused on "business logic". IT has a huge overlap with web development, especially if you're working with Ethereum.

@linuswillner Acty the blockchain has been around for 9 years. However anyone with more than 5 years experience with it probably has a pHD in mathematics and cryptography.

What language is that?

I hate deep nesting. There are some programmers who really love it though. To me it just lacks any real clarity, and it makes the code brittle. If I had to refactor this, I would try to flatten this as much as possible. IF that's even an option. I'm not a Javascript dev, so I don't know

@FilipeRamalho Unfortunately many web pages have safeguards against being archived. Also while you may have the page itself, a lot of time the media and the content is broken.

I think you should definitely look into perhaps looking into IPFS before you roll out a full blockchain solution. It's a p2p immutable file system that addresses a lot of issues that exists with HTTP. I've thought about doing something similar, and would love to collaborate.

Resolving hit conflicts is a pain, especially when you're on an undisciplined team

Is your manager pro automation or anti automation?
