Doing something you like will get you far. If you get good at it, it should be possible to find an employer too :)

@ScriptCoded Here it is time for putting them taters in the ground. Did half of those I have planned already...

I got a pirated copy back in 2002, in my early teenage years. That was when I learned to love seeing code turn into something visible 🤩

A small, funny quote for the thread:

"I'm a social vegan. I don't like meet."

You can say "no" as much as you like, though...

"This new app moves Teams away from Electron and to Microsoft’s Edge Webview2 technology."

Doesn't sound like it will be more able to run on Linux...

I just used it at a trip with a NGO where people shared images in chat. Probably not the most used feature, but being able to view and bulk download images or other files seems like a very nice usecase, but no: Find, click (wait to load), download, choose filename, repeat...

I did University College for three years in programming. My teacher once said it takes about 10 years in the industry to become an OK programmer.

That has been a source of comfort and inspiration for me. I've seen people that have worked longer that do things in ways I would not. I now have 6,5 years of experience in a company, so I still feel free to experiment and I try to learn from people that know more than me. I still quite enjoy programming 😊

Not so much all the meetings and social stuff, but it's part of the package, to some degree at least...
As stated on my friends t-shirt:
"I'm a social vegan - I don't like meet"

Could 'HighCharts' be of any value? I've used it a little, and they have quite a lot of options... Not fully sure about licencing and all that, though...

Sorry, I didn't mean to be the happyclappypartypooper. Noone are any less of a person when they doesn't have kids.

You have a lot to give to society, of that I'm sure👍 DevRant wouldn't be the same without you 😊

I married last year and are looking forward to become a father, hopefully next year some time. Scary thing to get responsibility for a small human, but I'm gonna try to the best of my abilities.

Wonder how it will affect my work. I work with digitalization in .NET.

Don't give up on meaningful relationship, ppls 😊 I waited a long time for her to show up, but it was worth waiting for! Now we have to invest in each other to stay connected. Such effort usually pays off 👍

I salute your dedication and hard work. I would suggest that your identity and worth are very vulnerable if work and other peoples praise are your main source. People isn't very good at caring for others in the long run - even marriages breaks all the time... :/ But there is one good and stable source out there that gives both identity and worth. I think you'll find it if you look for it :)

Congrats, there is hope :D

When I started 6 years ago on my current job, they used SVN. I used git with a SVN tool, such that I could branch out and experiment without messing with the trunk.

I guess you could go with git personally, and still follow corporate guidelines... Hope you get to do some real programming anyway :)

I saw a short where they wanted to print "Odd" or "Even" on numbers. They literally had an if sentence for each number up to 1000!

if (number == 1) {
console.log("Odd");
}

Then another guy showed how to write code that would generate this s*** up to 10 000! [...face palm...]
