@LFarquaad that depends on the company I guess. I started out somewhere where I was super raw and novice and in less than 6 months got a 20K bump in pay and put 3 other outsourced devs out of work. So, it's not too uncommon I guess. You just need to know how to sell your worth to you business and recruiters, without being too pompous about it. That's the trick of the whole thing. What fancy tools you know will get you in the door, it's the business worth that keeps you around and gets you paid.

Depends on the methodology implemented. Now a days, even if you're building an entire project from the ground up, you'll likely be in an Agile team working on the color change request of a button before you start doing anything too big.

That looks like a WP theme developer trying to develop a WP plugin.

@erik404 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

As long as you're running it on a box pre-configured with an EarthLink ISP, you should be good.

@needToRoll I know dude...I know...

😂 I did that recently to one of my own posts....Admin whipped me though and forced me to place my solution to my own problem. Didn't do it on purpose though.

To me the average developer doesn't really know any language per se in the true sense of the word. I think you "know" when you know there's a tool, method or functionality that can be used to solve the problem you're attacking in that language. Then you go off to put your basic learned syntax with your dev experience + the research code you've found and accommodate it to your solution. When you're at that level, you "know". Imo.

I can only comment from a BI perspective. If the front end tools are not designed properly, it can become a shit storm in the backend to reproduce effective reporting and/or data warehousing.

Never on a Friday dude.

@nebula hmm...yeah, even with your paragraph I lightly grazed over it (lazy Friday I guess). OK, IN THAT CASE, I do recommend starting to churn up the resume/search/recruit machine.

You can just look up while your fingers are wiggling on the keys and act slightly interested with raised eyebrows and be like "ok, ok, ok"...the trick is to barely remove your eyes off the screen toward the person talking to you...barely.

Bluehost?

😙()o()

Why do you care so much about the company not being around in 10 years? That's TEN years dude. In dev years you're experienced as fuck in a matter of just 3-5 years. Ride it out a bit, gain the experience, slowly search for your next gig (i.e., look for reqs and study those reqs), then beef up your resume with those req keywords, get the interview, marry the woman, plop the kids and move on. You're in a better situation than MOST newbies in the biz.

Too much writing. Can you sum this up in like 1 paragraph?

So does the buck.

@loopback I hate people who have a lisp.

"A language that has a purpose" is a little vague....do you mean taking a prog language to use in everyday speak or the opposite?

@Voxera in my case, the console app writes to SQL Server staging tables that get picked up via an SSIS job that runs every minute to truncate and refresh final tables, which in turn are used in our dashboard tool. Takes about 5 seconds to execute.

Oh, I need to pick this up.

You can tell that he was just being defensively sarcastic because his guys didn't make it, and now he has to take ownership of this task he did not create. I get it, but that's not my fault either so wtf.

@Worldyn hence EVERYTHING is data, once again 🍺🍺

Dude, SQL is easy to understand in English, it's not like all that OO gippety-muck.

Technically, EVERYTHING is data.

When I can write an Android app with SQL, maybe...

@krlooss is your handle a cool way of spelling Carlos? 🤠

@krlooss it's my Xbox live gamer tag that I used for the old ghost recon games and it's a play on butter/mastakilla lol

It's love when shit just works....annihilation otherwise.

Hmm...
