At my old job we hired a junior developer. Turned out the junior knew more than all of us. I learnt a lot from him and it pushed me to update my knowledge and skill set!

I have decided to learn how to fix the printer. Because it seems like it is the number one skill in demand..

"The most important skill in life is mitigating frustrations, but please don't get good at it — your suffering is hilarious"

— Girlfriend, while I was trying to fix her CPU cooler.

I realized immediately she just explained why this community exists.

Somehow, every skill I have seems to decrease as the number of people around me increase.

When I was a kid I used to play on my old Pentium computer all night after my mother sleeps. One night she caught me playing, she pushed the cabin from the table and broke it 😵. After then I tried to fix it and succeeded. Since then started learning about computers and now a back end engineer..

The most valuable skill I get from my computer science study is understanding the jokes on devrant :)

I got a call from the recruiter today and she asked me for my current salary. When I told her, she replied "Based on your experience and skill set, that's too low".

"That's why I am looking for a job"

I cried internally 😥

I just saw this shout-out by alexa developers. Thx to the skill developer for creating new ways of using DevRant

I repared my pc. Total cost: 1 €.
Still runs after almost 2 years xD

const NewJobAlert = (candidate) => {
skill: "Flutter",
experience: "5 years"
}

Debugging these days.

Can I only pick one?

I don't hate a lack of skill by itself. Incompetence, in my book, refers to a lack of skill combined with being in a position of responsibility.

The junior/intern in my team writes pretty bad code, but that is OK. He asks questions, I give pointers and bounce back his PRs ten times in a row, and he keeps fixing things without complaints.

My boss however... still writes PHP as if he's living in the 90s. He doesn't visit scrum meetings because he "isn't a developer". He thinks of a new feature while pooping, writes it without telling anyone, and throws it into production without making a PR.

So I recently started discarding Proxmox for Arch on my experimental server.. new skill acquired 🙃

You think you're doing well, then you talk to someone who operates at a skill level so far above you, it makes you think why even bother.

Just read this in LinkedIn:

XYZ is one of our top star developers, with #speed as maybe her strongest super skill. She develops and ships new features at a rapid pace, at any time of the day (and night)…

This sounds super toxic for some reason. I’m triggered

Social Distancing is now a good thing.

Suddenly, my greatest skill is in high demand.

That's a unique skill

Last week we had a short seminar at work about 'listening skill.'

In that speaker gave an example how 'natural' leaders speak last in the meetings.

From that day we are having entirely silent meetings.

Now management is planning seminar on 'Speaking Up'

Interviewing front end developers with my boss.

Only skill I care about is knowing git.

HEY FRONT END DEVELOPERS!

LEARN GIT!

Today, I interviewed a candidate for an entry position. I noticed our job post had a requirement of 30+ years of experience in C++.

I fixed it to "Basic implementation skill in C++".

Being organized even in a messed up situation is a skill tho

"experience that made you doubt your skill"

Debugging

When you realize you're spending all your time on a skill set that would be 100% useless in the apocalypse....

Grow your skill they said.
Learn CSS3 they said.
Make the product compatible with IE8 they said.

Bugfixing on production.

Is this a skill? Should I put it in my CV?

Devs online be like "I started learning to code when I was 2 years old and submitted my first application at 5, since then I've made a few simple apps and pull in 2 million a day, not much but it pays the bills"

So discouraging to come up with a novel idea for a simple product and spend a lot of time just to realize you're absolutely lost and severely lack the knowledge to even produce a working product of any sort. All the while some kid makes something "simple" 10x more complex than what you failed to do, and in like a day nonetheless.

How do people just pick up so much knowledge so quickly? How do they just figure out information they couldn't have possibly known like it's intuition?

Life is hard man.

Being different is not a crime, and people who tell you it is are jealous that you've picked up a skill they never in their wildest dreams could acquire.

You can code. They cannot. That is pretty damn cool.

-learn python the hard way

Just added new skill in my LinkedIn account

TIL that my company has an HTML/CSS guy whose only job is to optimize others frontend code and he has a higher pay scale than me.

How the fuck that skill could end up into a legitimate job profile!!!!

I love the skill requirements section of a junior Dev job advertisement.

To summarise "Basically you'll need all the skills and experience of a senior, but we are gonna pay you much much less". 😔

Might sound weird but I pretend somebody is watching me through my own eyes. Somebody I want to impress, or make jealous, of my productivity and skill. Elaborate, but it works.

There is no such thing as an 'idea' person.

Learn to art, learn to code, or learn to FUCK OFF!

Talented people can take bad ideas and make gold.

Without skill the best idea will turn out garbage.

Product manager: "Programmers are limitted to computer programs, that's why app developers can do mobile devices too!"

Me: "Programmers are not limited to computer programs, its a general skill"

Product Manager: "Then why App
Development is a career?"

If YouTube thinks that it's going to coerce me into getting a YouTube Red subscription by inserting a commercial in the middle of a video, it doesn't know very much about me!

I have developed a very useful skill after debugging code day after day. It's called, "patience".

I need your support guys... It's been long time since I last posted, but this is a really awesome community and I was little busy. But now I'm back with a bang.... @dfox

When somebody started bragging about his superior coding skill then I said that talk is cheap and that I wanted to see code (for some reason, this pissed her off) and then she started to DDoS me :^)

spoiler alert: she got a huge fine for it AND got fired from her job (whose servers she used to perform the DDoS)

That feeling when you love programming but don't know what to program...

Interviewer: Question 1: What's the most important skill of a software developer?
Me: Thanks for the opportunity, I'll show myself out.

Aim to write simple code.
Code that requires no skill to understand but mastery to write.

When I was 13 yrs old, I played Counter strike. One day by chance, I went into its program files folder and started looking through the files. There I found a bots.db which I opened on Notepad++. I found out that unlike many other files, it had un-garbled text. So I studied its contents and soon realized that it contained bot profiles. I edited skill levels of some of them and opened the game. To my delight, the bot's skill did change. It was so awesome, I can now complete the missions I was stuck in. That was the moment I had first wanted to go into Software Development field but I only started to code 4 years later.

When you know how to develop with WordPress but you hate it so much you dont even bother putting it on your CV as a skill.

Finally found a way to keep track of my ever expanding studies and how to prioritize them as relevant > how interested I'm > how urgent it is (as in it'd be a game changer if I had this skill right now).

It's called a ternary diagram (just in case you wondered)

My CSS skill so high 😵
increases lineheight↕️
Like lime light 🍋

So yesterday I posted a photo on linkedin jokingly that I was the in the top 10 of typescript developers in the country. I know that codersrank doesn’t assess your skill but rather the frequency but my linkedin has blown up 😂😂 think I’ve become a social media expert by accident 🤷🏼‍♀️

Apparently getting someone’s name right is not a necessary soft skill for LinkedIn... My name is not Steve...

How is IDE A skill?

Oh, I'm sorry if I have spoken during this meeting. I didn't realise I was invited just so I would be told "we're not going into that much detail at this stage of the project". I was just trying to point out that when you mock up any UI, you should take into account the fact that information is hierarchical: more important stuff before less important stuff, you know. Maybe you don't want to swamp the user with buttons all the time. When everything is important, nothing is. But that's just detail. And then the boss says we should create two more incongruent screens and all of the sudden that's a brilliant idea! So then again, sorry. I know exactly where my place is now. You pretend you know what you're doing and I fix it for you.

HR's number one skill: lying.

team is hiring interns and one candidate put “googling” on their resume as a skill - appreciate the honesty

Writing my resume in LaTex just so I can list it as a skill on my resume.

*Adds JavaScript to skills*

*Adds Java to skills*

Wth

Coz drinking milk is a skill every CS student need for his/her LinkedIn profile. Sure, the recruiter's and company's job is to make sure you are proficient milk drinker.

Watching the Google I/O 2018 where they are showcasing their AI called Google Duplex, making a call for reservation.
I just realized it has better communication skill than me.

I am pooping for last 20 minutes watching the video.

My greatest skill?
Not to explode when the client asks something so utterly stupid that I dont know whether I should cry or laugh. Maybe both?

Indian tech companies can put in weird skill requirements at times. See point 2, for fuck's sake is this real?! And it obviously contradicts point with point 5 right?

So, stranger things season 2, Bob is hacking a system with BASIC, writing entire lines with one keyboard press. Such skill. Much wow.

Have I missed something lately? xD

Am I the only one?
Do {
I want to know EVERY FUCKN SKILL A DEV CAN POSSIBLYHAVE, but I want to know it all NOW..
googling 30 times for tutorials and posts about a topic,
opening 30 tabs,
then spending around 30 seconds on each one ...
Trying 1-2 tutorials,
not understanding why I dont get this shit...
this is stupid
loosing interest in 3..2..1...
Aaand let's try and learn this new skill..
} while(true)

Welp

My compartmentalizing skill is not good enough. Wasted last night by doing nothing and falling asleep because of a bad mood. I have shit tons of tasks.

Teaching my little sister Mathematics (Grade/Class 12. Not at all easy).

And I can really understand the textbook definitions in the chapters. Back then, I never understood a single line of it.

Am I a more sound mathematician now or reading poor documentations has improved my skill to read complex and minimal contents!

keyboard shortcuts.

If you threw your mouse away, could you still code very fast?

I learned all the kb shortcuts 2 years ago..

Coding shortcuts in sublime are the best

Best skill I every owned..speed of pc use is drastically improved

Put me up against any normal user and I'll have 10 typical computer tasks done before he finishes one

Could you throw away your mouse for a day?

If you can't.. I challenge you to try. Probably the best skill for getting jobs? Just guessing

Just received a job résumé for a software engineer position. The very first skill listed:

MS Word.

Just got rejected for an internship position. They saying you are slightly lesser for what our intern possess. Upon insisting they told that both my "skill set" and "logic" is not up to the mark. I am depressed

So started job hunting and stumbled upon this
1. Skill required in PHP, Laravel, CakePHP, Wordpress, Opencart.

2. Bootstrap, CSS3 and HTML5 experience preferred.

3. JQuery, Vue.js, Angular.js, JavaScript, AJAX, HTML experience highly preferred.

and will pay 8000Rs/Month (112.88 USD)

Do they even know what they want? and at what cost they want to hire?

Date of doom... they forgot the double quotes...
(btw. $dateString is in the form "1234-10-11")
The fun part is that this comparison fails because $dateString is not numeric (due to "-") thus won't be (non-strictly) equal to 0 (int).

Damn fuucking amateurs... all hacks no skill.

They don't tell you this is in uni but your skill in merge conflict and circular dependency resolution is more essential in the real world than your knowledge of data structures.

// This is not a Rant, it's a sad story

I am a Software Engg. Student at my college, and I am a scholar, I stand 1st rank in my department for my academics. Our college expects us to do an internship this semester break, and I am stuck. The college expects us to do an internship for a period of around 6 weeks from a company with a CMM level 3. The real pain is the fact that the college didn't prepare us with the right skill set to get an internship like that. And in the end all our college wants is a certificate to show to them that I have done an internship.

My problem is, the people who don't have the slighest skill to do an internship are getting certificates because they have contacts, and they have no intentions to learn anything. But, here I am, although I believe I don't have that good skill set either, but I am stuck with no contacts, no internship offers, and no responses from the company I have applied to. Don't know what I am gonna do, but I have a zeal to do perform well, let's hope I find an opportunity to exhibit my talents.

If anybody can help me, please do. 🙏❤

"Wisdom is knowing what to do next, skill is knowing how to do it, and virtue is doing it. " - David Starr

My dad is in IT, and when I was younger he realised I had the same logical/analytical skill set as him so had me enrolled in a Lego robotics course and I loved it so I taught myself to code from online tutorials and books!

Don't remind me of that hackathon 😑 My advice: don't go there without being prepared, team wise, tool wise and skill wise. And whatever happens, don't forget to have fun.

Programming is an ever rewarding habit/skill to have.

I shall not judge a developer's skill by their choice to use nano ...

Is 'Ranting' considered as a skill?

A job requirement post I recently came across. Is there any other skill left? 🤔 Felt like these guys are looking for omnipotent being. Also left me wondering what skills I have since I can hardly cross out 1 or 2.

Not sure if this counts as a dev skill but

Not needing sleep anymore.

Imagine how much time you had if you didn't need to waste several hours a day just sleeping

Intern : "Stackoverflow is the most friendly platform to learn coding. They provide a good certification for programming skill."

Me : " Stop this bullshit before I present you a smack-overflow across your face."

Since when Stackoverflow described as freecodecamp?

2017 ends in just days. 2018 picks up where it left. What new skill would you like to add to your hat?

First day as logistic administrator and already in need of this ribbon in excel... (was not included as a skill needed or to be known.) Let's do some after work VBA I guess.

0. Never ending puzzle game
1. Very useful skill to have
2. Keeps girls outside my perimiter

Not being appreciated but I bet that applies to nearly everyone.

If I build you really cool shit you've not seen before. And no one else you know or can get in contact with are capable of it. You're damn right I expect respect and compensation equal to my skill and time.

Was approached by a (serious) recruiter and the project they're looking to hire for is a 3 year contract, remote and actually sounds really interesting and right up my alley.

Cue the self doubt.

Scared shitless I won't pass the bog standard PHP skill assessment test.

SHUT UP BRAIN.

It's interesting that the most capable developers I have met have a harder time getting a job than the incapable ones.

All things equal, but skill, it's annoying to see.

Omg, delegation to others feels like the last, most difficult skill to master. Letting go can be so hard.

Patience, me. Patience.

When someone in my family start a wedding ceremony and I being invited to help, but I don't have any other skill other than googling javascript. So in that time I just realize I don't like being human because I'am uselless, better be born as mic stand.

to anyone who says girls can’t code because they have no skill and therefore shouldn’t be in a high position because they have no dick,

I’ll show you how I code with my girl skills, I’ll fire you with my girl position, and I’ll fuck you with my girl dick.

Here's how I describe my workplace:
- a mid dev that will stay mid forever
- a senior but with junior skill
- a mid but actually a junior
- a verbose dev, people having rough time trying to understand her because her explanation is always blown up
- a PM without enough technical skill
- a dev with personality like a moody teenager
- a contractor but acting like a customer

Did I miss anything? 🤔

Back when I used be a junior fresh out of school, my senior used to say, when releasing a first version or a major version of any software, app or website always implement easy to fix bugs.

End users or clients, especially the ones that tasked you with the creation of it, will look for a bug until they find one, if it isn't one you will spent hours trying to figure it out, instead give them one.
You know how to fix it and the client is satisfied they found one.

To this day, i still do that, although mostly not even aware of it. Eg: I know that's a bug but i'll fix that when (not if, when) they complain about it.

I even find myself telling the juniors, i develop with, giving them similar if not the same advice.

And that is what experience means, skill is something they teach you in school.
Experience is what makes you a senior or a junior, not your level of skill or the amount of keywords on your Linked In profile.

When you are reading job requirements for a dev job and they put a shit ton emphasis on MS Office. I remember a phone interview where they asked skill level for Word, Excel and Outlook.

Yeah my boss just stated that frontend Development takes no skill or talent. Anybody can do it.

I hope we are allow to add corona virus survivor as a skill on resume.

Fran's developer have some pun skill. Pun intended

How the fuck is CLI a skill for job seekers?! And what's a Toolbox?
Apparently, recruiters write any Buzzwords they hear of! CLI is not even a Buzzword. How did it get there?

FUCK YOU LIFE!
YOU LEFT ME 3 HOURS WALKING IN THE COLD TO GET TO MY HOME FROM MY FUCKING INTERNSHIP!
WHY DO YOU ALWAYS ORGANIZE EVERYTHING SO THAT I.E. TODAY THE BUS DOES NOT ARRIVE AT THE BUS STATION??!?!??!?!?!!
I ALWAYS DON'T HAVE LUCK. WHATEVER I DO... I (ALMOST) ALWAYS FAIL AT IT (not talking about skill-related stuff! fuck you!)

do you hire based on skill or personality?

When you don't know if you should start a developer tutorial channel. I have a good mic, 4 years dev experience and good editing skill. Should i?

New skill : Flexbox

I failed LinkedIn's Git skill test T_T

All the young kids get to work on new projects with the shiny tech....

I feel left out :( I'm only 30 and pretty sure skill-wise I can still kick everyone else's asses on my team...

But I guess I'll remain in the "nanny" role yelling at them whenever something fucks up....

The one skill I know that I am really proud of is GIT.

Put me into trouble with merge conflicts.
Saved my life with its version control.
Always had an adventurous ride with Git. Hope to have many more such rides and get to learn more about you.

The `sed` command skills of my senior dev (team lead) is equal to every skill I (junior dev) have ever acquired until now as a programmer.

Just amazing !

My best skill is problem is:
*** problem solving ***
Really, at least in all the teams I've been working until now, I'm always surprised by myself. How fast I am in spotting the problem root and find or suggest a solution. Even on things I have almost no knowledge.

My worst skill is:
*** problem solving ***
Being so effective make me everybody's slave.
Everybody always rely on me for any kind of weird shit. If I try to "outsource" the problem, after one day it will bounce back on me and I solve it in no time.

So I've no time for anything else that solving other people's problems.
Constant interruptions and context switching.
And worst, my bosses don't understand why I don't finish my tasks. And I cannot blame my team.

Learning languages and frameworks after accepting the job,

Best thing I did this year.

I managed to learn waayyyy more and end up with a better skill set and resume.

Boss: pst pst training is paid for if you want to skill up
Me: !!!

Honestly, the most underrated skill in tech is communication. Writing clear, succinct emails and telling the story without rambling is a critical skill. If hiring comes down to a wire, I would hire a dev that can communicate well than someone with pure technical skill but zero communication skills.

Just realized my handwriting skill is so bad -_-. i don't know how my classmate can write that good even we are dealing with keyboard everydamn class and homework.

sometimes i wish i could differentiate between the result of skill, dumb luck or privilege

I envision a website where you can review individual HR personel on the basis of;

1. Knows technical aspects enough for hiring
2. Respects the candidate
3. Respecting the messaging time limits, ghosting vs
4. Skill to bring best verdion of the candidate etc

What else would be the criteria?

Knitting. It's absurd how technical a skill it is, and I definitely didn't realise that when I learned it!

Urgh. One key skill that wannabes seem to forget is patience. Patience, patience, patience. Don't panic, don't be lazy, be methodical. This is the way of the analytical computer scientist. Don't panic all over the place or make assumptions..

Some techs..

Software-engineer social skill level:

I just said "see ya", casually, to the Uber Eats delivery guy.

web dev agency makes a job ad that fits exactly my skill set.
*send an email in a good form with resume and everything*
No acceptance, no decline, no "we'll look at it", just nothing...
just fucking die already -_ -

Shouldn't be there a position called "Document Developer"! who's job is writing documents throughout the whole sdlc processes? Also expanding comments written by the coders. The only skill needed is English MVC framework!

Why the fuck would you make PHP Bitwise operations a large part of a "pHp sKiLl aSeSmeEnT"

Why the fuck would anyone use them?

Got my first Alexa Skill approved today!

the ability to recognize when someone is better at something than you might be the most valuable skill of all

no glass ceilings, just exponential growth at every opportunity

So I got some new methods to call, when I tried to call them the usual way, it didn't work quite well.
Surprised, I asked the coder of them.

"Yeah, we're using the new way, you don't mind ?"

nah, no problem, I'm starting to develop my skill in divination and mind reading, that was just my usual training.

Done working on Loading animation for my game. (my drawing skill is very bad)

I think, my most valuable developer skill - ability to work with hangover.
Happy Monday, guys)

Tried to write a short article about Javascript IIFE modules, ended up explaining about function block scoping all the way to closures before I eventually get to the IIFE module explanation itself...

I'm really bad at this 😓

Most days, I feel pretty good about my skill and contributions, but I still sometimes worry that I might be the cog with the terrible code that all my coworkers rant about.

My weakest skill is simply organization. I can produce great work in a decent timeframe, just maybe not for the project or task I should be working on, assuming I don't get distracted by that email I was supposed to follow up on yesterday.

"When it comes to writing code, the number one most important skill is how to keep a tangle of features from collapsing under the weight of its own complexity." - John D. Cook

So I am pissed on my company's polices or whatever for finding out things that I should be ethically or culturally prying in.
These people hired two JS developers (Beginner Level in front-end & JavaScript) &
Company asked me to interview them and I did but I was not satisfied with their interview and told HR about it.

But HR still decided to hired them both and asked me to mentor them.

To this extant I was OK. But I found out that both of them are being paid more than me.

How can someone with more experience and skill be treated like this. and also being asked to mentor juniors who don't event know about closure in JavaScript ?

I am going to ask my boss for a raise as per my skill, performance and responsibilities.

When co-developers talk to non techies with tech talk expecting them to understand. Like, where's that going to get you? An essential skill for a developer is to be able to translate tech talk to help people understand fully!!

Interviewer: Can you rate 0-10 your git skill?

If I make a mistake I own up to it,
Its important I think to just be straight with people.

I do think a lot of devs.... Skirt the truth 🤔 least the ones I worked with

!rant had my yob interview today, i hope i left a positive vibe, they want me to meet de other devs to evaluate my level of skill. Pray for me i'm good enough for their custom php management tool

There is no good company. There is only your skill and how much you improve it.

!rant
Just installed Linux as the second OS on my computer and I'm ready to let Windows go. Any ideas on how I can improve my skill faster, other than a couple tutorials.

The skill of being about to sit still and get stuff done. I can't focus for the life of me.

I am teaching myself a new skill.

Everytime my non-technical boss speaks about devOps, I am going to force the tetris theme tune to play inside my head to block him out.

One of my trainees some years ago was too lazy to process his networking homework, so he just modified the binary of that cisco tool he would have to use and removed the password prompt at all to access the solutions.

Pulled off 7 people group project all alone last night. Call me god. Thanks.

“Computer programming is like the ability or skill to see what Picasso saw from all the different angles at once” - Erik Naggum

Finally found an IDE perfectly matching my skill

Also, Hello world !

You know you have some level of skill with a computer when you google (i prefer duck duck go) something, and you look at the url below the results instead.

What is your most effective "soft skill"?

You cant be a recognzied as a good developer, untill you are a good tester or say produce least bug free code. You should do thorough testing of your code before handing over to QA. I lacked the skill of good unit testing, so have suffered alot in past years.

Give up, learn a useful skill for the coming apocalypse

im the only person in my company who has any sort of tech skill. Im the only dev here, the only IT guy here, and pretty much the only person who can use a computer outside of facebook. And my CEO is expressing concerns as to what i do? Life of startup hell

the api endpoint for retrieving user-data in an alexa skill might as well be api.eu.amazonalexa.com WITH .EU
this is not as good documented as it should be and did cost me several hours until i saw it by accident analyzing the request-data another time...
you´re welcome.

Let's see how many of us can use programming skill outside in real world.

Pair socks from a pile efficiently?

Guys that list 10+ programming languages that are in their skill sets are my favorite. Do you actually know all of them?
It's like saying you're fluent in Spanish, Arabic, English, Hindu, Mandarin, etc.

Prolog skill acquired

My target of this year is to get my coding skill to be able to work in the industry and mybe to start to build my game

I just want a better life. A life where people can live freely. Where skill and talent is enough to make a living. A life where we don't have to be scared of the police.

Uum..uuuuumm...
No idea? Probably sysadmin or sth..
If it had to be out of IT sector, no clue..I am bad with people..and I don't have the skill/education to be a medical examiner for autopsies..

I can now tell if a client will be difficult before... I do the work.

Good skill to have, I can tell them to fuck off

Our college interns:

*Push completed project source to remote repo at end of dev course.*

*List Git as skill in resume.*

"Technical skill is mastery of complexity, while creativity is mastery of simplicity." - Christopher Zeeman

What fucking moron thinks Bootstrap is a skill? It's a crappy CSS and js library with the same crappy overused design and the (metaphorical) size/quality of an elephant turd. It's times like this I wish I could forget about not upsetting people and reply with a big fat go fuck yourself. Fuck me.

such weekend
many dev
very skill

The skill of get paid 100MYR per error , everytime...

Why? I need money.

None. I think, I have no other skill I could utilize professionaly.

Spent the day with people I work with developing an Alexa skill to kick off a Jenkins job. Fun!

when you are working in a mastered syntax /skill

My career is perpetually doubting / questioning my skill set while making steady progress and receiving praise.

Whether its for personal projects or work (interning) I feel so delayed and unskilled, yet I know I've made a hell of a lot of progress and wouldn't even recognize the me I am now

What is this dichotomy

It sucks so much when you want to learn and expand your skill set but can't because you cannot find any good resources.
I've been trying to get started with MVP and RxJava for android and have got nowhere yet because of unavailability of good starting codes/tutorials.
FML.

Does anyone else get sleepy immediately after starting to watch online tutorials for literally any coding language? It’s the cure for insomnia, I swear. I’m just trying to skill up but all it makes me want to do is sleep. Even standing up and walking in place doesn’t help.

Does anyone every get JOB from Linkedin ??

I am continuously applying from last 1-2 month and I just got.. Thanks for your interest but we are not moving with your application. No Matter if it is basic skill level Job or higher one? I wonder if I am the only one facing this

"Excellence is not a skill, it is an attitude." - Ralph Marston

on your resume, did you put how good/experienced you are at each skill?

being accepted as an Intern at a small company, its not much but i really feel confidence of my skill and working as a group, even though there is an age gap of like 5 years, i managed to connect and feel comfortable.

Boss is obsessed with using wordpress, need to move away from wordpress and make more use of my skill set. Any tips on (indirectly) telling him we could be doing much more?

(I want to start offering CRM development to clients )

People have to realize that people are unique no matter the skill set. You can replace the skill set but not the person.

Fuck my video game addiction. I really fucking want to code, but I've got like 3 games in which I need to progress, or I can't continue playing with my friends, bcs of the skill difference. Meanwhile my pi is sitting there just waiting to get tinkered with. Could somebody give me a god damn tip on how to get rid of this.

Sucks when you are more excited about a project than anyone else!

F$#k it. Instead of doing it for the company I'll do it for myself as a side project!

Anyone interested in building an Alexa skill?

probably learning to make jokes about the career path you are on is an important skill to master.

I'd like to one day be as good as my tutors or my better half.
Overseeing research code and developing it further with very little documentation seems like a very precious skill to me. They have my respect for that.
That would also involve getting a phd.

I feel so clueless sometimes but apperently I'm a fighter, so let's keep goin and trying :)

Going to broaden my skill set by learning Java. I come from a Python (also working on the front-end mandatories: JavaScript, CSS, ect...) background and I'm already cringing from the extra work in syntax with Java.

Debugging is a must have skill for every developer. I used to consider debugging to be a pain. But when I did it for fun it made debugging a bit easier to me.

Take debugging as a challenge and enjoy doing it, it will make your life a lot easier

Once a guy was not able to apply for a software company coz it required 4+ years of experience in a particular API.

The problem was that he had only 2 years of experience as he himself had developed that API. 😜

It's high time that we rethink the equation " Years of experience == Skill"

Do comment your opinion.

SO sucks.

I'm looking for a community there I can learn good code practices through code review, but getting into a huge established open source project is really intimidating. Anyone have any good suggestions? My skill set is mostly Java and go

Code editors as Doom skill levels:
coda = I'm too young to die.
notepad++ = Hey, not to rough.
sublime = Hurt me plenty.
vi = Ultra-Violence.
emacs = Nightmare!

6 months of procrastination whilst trying to decide whether it will be worth doing, and whether I actually have enough skill to do it

Quick question to all the other devs. I am learning libgdx(the multiplatform thing) to make an Android app. Would that count as Android experience for future jobs? Or game development? What skills am I building for a resume?

Developer skill #906: Tactical Sleep.

"Sure, I'll build you a landing page for your email campaign ...... For 10am tomorrow? ....... But it's 4:30pm....... Director says so?..... (Silent fml)"

Ask me earlier douchebags.

If only I could sleep well every night, I would probably be a year ahead in skill rn dangit.

When you request a bugfix but the bug is renewed.

So, guys what do we call this level of skill ?

As a developer, when learning a new language how do you know when your good enough to start making projects to test knowledge or skill?

If you have got any skill, do you need a certificate to prove it to everyone?
What are your experiences on it?

What level of skill should I have before applying for jobs as a Junior Developer?
What kind of programs should I be making?

Every time I have to explain to someone what projects I've done, and what I'm currently working on.

No, they're not the most useful and don't showcase any skill using this framework or that piece of knowledge. You're not the first to tell me. I like what I do and if I die hungry because of it, so be it.

No one is 'highly skill' in React, Angular, Ember, and Backbone. That is ridiculous. Stop putting that on your job listings.

Want to expand skill set. But all my time is taken up working on projects that use just my old skills.

My goal is to improve my coding skill and write an optimised code

Have you interacted with other devs with same level of experience and wondering about the big skill gap between you and them?
Wondering if you are actually a walking genius for having a lot more knowledge/understanding or if they are just plainly dumb and lazy.

🤷‍♀️

Knowing what to ask and how to ask chatgpt is actually a skill. If you learn just this. The AI can solve any bug

Working with others is always a great way to improve, no matter their skill.

If -
They're better than you, you get to learn new things

They're worse than you, you get to learn how to be a better leader.

Rest assured, folks.
<!-- Was too lazy to write this in code. -->

1) Having a complex and inaccessible skill trade entitles me to be a condescending elitist.

2) Because I usually choose to waive that privilege and be a nice team player instead I am almost universally appreciated.

3) I get free coffee every day.

3b) No one teases me about my fancy mechanical keyboard.

my current team leader (mini-boss, per se) is teaching me a lot of office politics. it's very enriching, since my soft skills are crap. also I'm learning when to keep my mouth shut (important survival skill, very hard to master)
