What you working on over weekend?

devRant :)

You?

Quarterly reviews next week so just finished up my self assessment (killed it!). Working on some email backend stuff!

gitHubot ;)

Personal project. Angular application :).

@champion01 big fan of Angular!

@bauermetal I am too!! Have you tried out angular 2 yet? I haven't. Angular is the bees knees :)

@champion01 coworker and i played with it a bit. Its definitely much different than 1 or 1.5 and i'm still not comfortable using it 100% in a production environment yet buts its pretty brilliant.

You using it standalone or with some stack?

@localhost We run angular for the frontend and php (codeigniter) or golang for backend depending on the service.

Wow golang! Interesting. Never got project which uses golang.

We use it for some of our backend services (media service, account service). Many more efficiencies than PHP since its strongly typed and compiled. We saw a 3-4x speed increase switching those heavy services to golang. 👍🏻 its an amazing language.

Golang looks pretty awesome. I have wanted to dive into it for a while. Hopefully will have some time to soon.

Building a static analysis tool for the language we used at my last job (Gosu). It's not something I've tried before, so it's a challenge!

RealContinuity.com blog and LinkedIn group. This is content weekend and reward myself with some coding features.

A new feature that allows project managers (not technical PMs, contruction PMs) to mass generate "jobs" and "scopes" for new facility rollouts. Automatically plots them on a map, and finds nearby technicians to do the work requested.

@nwestfall - very cool. Good friend is a well connected construction PM in NY if you ever need him for QA or use/recommend.

@jumpshot which part of NY?

Me - Long Island. My PM friend has done major projects. - Citifield..all over tri-state.

@baurermetal - small world haha, this week I just finished a backend component for an email processor that converts text to HTML and .csv.

That's good to know about angular! I need to start to dabble in angular 2. My company wants to upgrade our site to angular 2. Currently our site has a lot of lag issues due to so many angular bindings. Apparently that gets fixed in angular 2.

@jumpshot - that's awesome your in NYC. I've been wanting to move to NYC for development. How's the market/industry there? I'm a C# .net/ angular developer. I can learn to code any language tho.

For the first time in a long time I worked on a bit fat nothing and enjoyed the weekend on a beautiful island with my cats.

@lazer sounds majestic!

@champion01 the tech scene in NYC is pretty good. Plenty of developer jobs. Very high cost of living though so depending on where you're coming from that could be a big change. But yeah, no complaints from me really.

@champion01 nice about the email!

Just remember that Angular 2 is not an upgrade, its an entire rewrite.

@champion01 the market is good. Outside Manhattan rents more reasonable. The devRant founders live here and can also help. I see @dfox replied. Let me know if you need anything.
