@Alexa That's true but I back that up on multiple computers (3) each day ;) Sometimes I do it in Dropbox as well, but that's only for small project and I refrain from doing company stuff on Dropbox anyway
-
oh man haha been there before but thankfully not anymore. I got into the habit of pressing Ctrl+S like every 5 seconds. Plus, if a project is critical, I work directly from a USB as well, if not a USB then my secondary (not primary) hard drive just to ensure that I don't lose my files/work
-
Congrats @Raspik!! May the baby bring you so much bliss and happiness!!
-
@kxdan as if developers slept anyway 😂😂😂
-
@minimango I call BS really. Where I work, no joke the BEST developer and DBA I ever met is a woman. I always marvel at the way she codes and how she does her projects and work ethic. It's amazing and inspiring. I worked with her on several projects and I have nothing but praise for her. So no it is not reserved for men. In fact I believe that women can be just as good if not better than men in this field. So that recruiter can go do something bad to herself haha. Like what are they doing really? They first patenoize women for not being in STEM fields and now that they are, they don't like it? Effin BS.
-
@Raspik you're right haha! But in my defense, with jack, I like to dilute it a bit, taking shots with it while coding I'd go from sober I understand this to where the hell is my cursor and everything is so fuzzy
-
games, motorcycles, programming. If I could like this 1000 times over I would! 😍
-
Congrats @mack!!! Wish you all the best!
-
I seriously have no clue whatsoever how these people think. Some of the best developers I ever met are women. What's the big deal about gender in this field again?
-
@bluescreen That's awesome then! I thought this was recent! Congrats! :)
-
@Heatstreak Thank you! Haha
-
I kicked my development into overdrive after I graduated...look at all this free time I have, time to learn C# and whatever I can about web dev, I loved those days
-
@RampantShadow Definitely haha, that's why I have both laptops and 2 external screens at work! Everyone at works keeps saying "You don't seem to have enough screens there eh?" - you can never have enough haha
-
Nope no game of thrones or any other TV show for me actually. I'm either coding or gaming haha, but not watching anything
-
@bluescreen But don't get discouraged, the very fact you made it to next rounds means you have something, (maybe not everything) but something that they found attractive in you, in your case you knew what they wanted and was missing, and since you tapped into the market and see that this skill was required, learn it on your own time ;)
Add it to your CV and reapply, fill the gaps one by one and your hard work will pay off sooner or later.
Also going back to the interviews, when I was applying for the job I am in right now, the primary focus was Java, simply because they needed to urgently close up a project in Java, so they kept asking for it, and I showed them that I did Java coding before. That only lasted for 2 weeks or so. Haven't seen Java since (that was last year). Now its primarily web projects ;) -
@bluescreen the process is exactly as @trogus mentioned actually, been there done that. I have been involved in some interviews myself (part of a panel that conducted the interviews) and everyone in the panel is looking for something different. Since I am pretty junior in the company, I was not exactly worried about the guys expertise, but more interested in his ability to fit in and how he collaborates with others, whether we spoke the same way or shared the same value (we were gna work as colleagues and I saw an amazing potential in the guy, so I recommended he go through to the next rounds). But upper management usually don't care about that, they have a plan, usually they hire someone for a specific purpose or to start off on a specific project first for instance, and hence they needed that skill. Everyone looks for something different.

Those towers though! Amazing

She looks awefully similar to Emilia Clarke, is that her? 😮

@Heatstreak The laptop on the left is MSI PE702QE and the mouse is Logitech G502 Proteus Spectrum...I LOVE that mouse for its infinite scrolling ability, makes traversing long documents a breeze, it also has side scrolling and 6 programmable buttons (excluding left, right and middle clicks) with 3 profiles and 4 DPI settings per profile for gaming as well ;)
The laptop specs are 3.1 GHz (over clocked) Intel i7 5700HQ, with 16GB RAM, 1TB HDD and 2GB Nvidia GTX960M Card (17.3" screen), supporting both a matrix display and 4K Output.
The work laptop is well Dell, dno the rest but it can't compare to my personal laptop in terms of well, anything 😂 -
@emes001 hahaha its my work desk more often than not I like it clean, only electronics on there haha, sometimes papers but they barely stay there for long haha
-
The real adult part got me 😂
-
@Drjonees yup for sure ;)
-
@caroso1222 yeah versions of javascript frameworks have their own twists and turns to the language, which makes migrating from vanilla JavaScript to those frameworks more or less tricky. But hey, we all learn right, its all about the journey ;)
-
@Drjonees In javascript there is no difference, its a personal preference. In other programing languages it can be used for accessing the variable outside the scope of the loop. In C, the variable MUST be declared outside the loop. So it depends on the programing language but in javascript its a personal preference and has no effect ;)
-
@caroso1222 @Drjonees This really depends on the nature of the data in routes. From the looks of it, it seems like an object, so a for in loop makes sense if he is looping for keys in an object and obtaining their values. Foreach works for arrays only, and that can return both the value and index of the object. I hope this clears it up Drjonees
-
@localhost hahahaha I don't really bother with IE that much, I just get libraries for them haha, IE is a pain, but yes at home I use a 40" TV screen instead haha, and that acts like 2-4 screens depending on how I organize the windows 😂
-
Happens a lot during crunch times, get an extra developer in last minute, which rarely works unless that new developer either:
1) Has an idea on how to solve a *specific* problem, or
2) Increase development pace
Usually for me its the first one, for you it might be the second but you havent properly introduced to it...
good luck man -
@localhost It is haha but let me explain. The laptop on the left (personal) has the testing version which I worked on from home, so it has all the main references and functions I need for testing, but not the interface. The other three screens are actually all for the same project but the production version. I have a rather short memory so have the HTML, CSS and JS files all open at the same time help me code a tiny bit faster, cz I hate going back and forth haha
-
Seeing a number of posts like this, sometimes I can't help but think what if we just compile a list of companies that do that stupid shit and publish it where everyone can see really. I am just worried of the legal ramifications of that, but I'm sure there's a loophole somewhere ... this shit needs to stop
