This is so cool. Great way to make graphs approachable and speed up feature releases.
Good luck with this project!

They can't actually use your work. You still own it. If you can prove they're using it you've got a decent case.

Oh man I love me some perl. Glad to see it getting some good usage. Nice work!

It's interesting. I'm adding a teeny feature to a discord bot my friend wrote and it's been a really fun change of pace.

@metamourge ahhh ok. I only do the barest minimum of sysadmin work. Desktop Linux has gotten so point and click it's been a dream just getting to use it rather than get stuck working on it

I felt this deep in my bones

@RememberMe parsec looks cool, I'll def end up playing with it. I've been using NoMachine and enjoying that

Do we work together? I live this hell too

@metamourge I have never heard of classifying an os by init system rather than kernel

This sounds like how excited I was installing Mandrake to dual boot with Windows 98 way back in the day 😂
Mazel tov!

I haven't found a company with truly good documentation yet. Oracle loves to incorrectly mark required attributes.

"Eleventy-billion"

@horse out here developing in year 3019

Oh man I feel that pain. Or management also likes to pepper the devs holding the most workload with "well why can't you fit more on your plate? Do you need us to sign you up for a time management course?"

Code isn't permanent. Get it done then make it better. It's never perfect and it doesn't need to be.
You will probably never feel like you know enough and that's totally ok. Work until you get stuck and then learn about it. If you have too many ways to do something just pick one with a magic 8 ball. If it doesn't go well, evaluate why and see if that helps you pick from the remaining options.

That's friggen awesome. You could expand that out for business and meetings as well. Lots of potential here.

What kind of app?

There's a chance you could be wrong but I'm thinking you're right. They may just not understand joins and want something they feel comfortable supporting in case you leave the company. Lots of variables to consider in this one.

Training is a huge investment and on top of that I'm sure you'd be wanting to get paid. That's just not tenable for companies. Pick something and don't just learn it use it to make solutions to problems. If you have a solid development portfolio you'll do well and if you understand the concepts and you make it to an interview you'll hold your own.

Haha amen to that. In HS I decided to see how many distros I could get on my computer. 9 distros and windows 98 using crappy old LILO as a bootloader.

Congrats! I always wanted to do that! Ran out of time though, my tinker with systems days have passed lol

@kshep92 if you don't have flat surfaces you stack less useless stuff. I have a desk angled forward with a small lip on the bottom to hold reference books with a clipboard arm for papers. it forces me to put everything not necessary for the day in it's correct place. (I also have a spot for drinks.

Only work from home days ever go to plan

Fewer flat surfaces. Works wonders.

Never heard of this. But where I am I'd take any standard over no standard lol

Hahahah I hate that. Also saw one that had both of those and camelcase. Fml

only write lines of code you understand even if what you did "fixes" the problem

My full time job is as a "peoplesoft developer" but I end up doing more php/perl and custom scripts because that's what needs to get done.
I coach Olympic Lifting and Crossfit. If I could do that full time with benefits I would in a heartbeat. Most of my casual reading is on sports performance. I've never held less than 2 jobs. I ran a wedding photography business for 3 three years and as of now I don't have to buy food (unless it's snacks or unhealthy stuff) because I literally have a job "coding for food". But I'm married, great groups of friends, drink occasionally and enjoy watching TV shows and movies. All in all I guess it's pretty normal.

Define "normal"

Should have gone for the irony and tagged it wk29
