@jibberdev919 I agree. Hopefully it at least works and can find a good replacement.

Personally I think just understanding the concepts is enough. Like I get a good majority of the concepts but if a situation arises I can't actually just break out a piece of paper and do the math out. I'll usually just use an online calculator or worst case scenario break out the ti-89, it's not a testing environment after all.

Energy drinks.. Never liked the taste of coffee.

I feel this is pretty idealistic. You blanket statement saying always assume they've already checked online.

Majority of the time (in my experience at least) the answer I get back is no. I'm not even talking about complex issues either it could be something as simple as they can't figure out how to make their laptop not go into sleep mode when they close their work laptop. Immediately followed by how to make the screens extended as opposed to duplicating display.

Then have one of the other juniors standing behind us the whole time waiting while on his phone, so once I'm done I ask what his issue is and he goes the samething can you walk me through it. Literally wanted to punch that guy in the dick.

And no.... I'm a junior too.

@Celes I'm not endorsing it since I never used it but did you try Unreal Engine? Just asking since that lets the user use c++ also.

Depends on what you're doing. Like don't get me wrong Linq makes a lot of things easy, and if a project is pretty lax on performance requirements go for it. It's real easy though if someone who doesn't know what they're doing to use Linq to drag down performance though.

Isn't that normal? Pairs good with "Email Driven Design"!

@KittyMeowstika hard to say, since I'm not sure what version you're on. Assuming this is the same program: http://icsharpcode.net/OpenSource/... it looks like they added win forms in version 0.89 beta on 8/18/2002. So if the schools version is older than that yeah it might be a newer version thing.

Not going to lie I'm so confused. I've never used sharpdevelop to be honest but like after googling the very first screenshot on their website actually has web forms on it? Also you can't really bank on being able to use whatever version of the Net framework that you want. Last year for instance I was pigeon holed into helping out with a web forms classic application that's due for rework shortly. Don't get me wrong I know many places you'll be able to use whatever you want (my current project with the same company is actually using. Net core 2.0) but you never know what you'll be working on, you can't exactly throw a hissy fit because you don't like the requirements.

Personally I think it's worth it. There's like a 10 year gap between high school and when I got my bachelors. I can promise you that during college I learned absolutely nothing and it was a cruise control of handing in projects while doing self learning via sites like safaribooksonline even during class..

Prior I had a ridiculously hard time even getting a response. Post diploma, I get offers roughly twice a week right now, even though I'm marked as employed finally. It's ridiculous what that piece of paper can do imo

Applied to numerous software developer jobs straight out of high school, could not even get an interview. Went to college for game development and learned absolutely nothing new, hell I feel like I got dumber from some of the stuff I heard there. Got a piece of paper and currently swimming in offers.....even after I accepted a job and updated all my resumes/linkedin/etc -.-

Just my experience.

As mentioned earlier it's a focus thing to me. Throwing down a couple of red bulls and having my headphones in ill throwdown whatever code needs to be done. Though its prolly just that I'm addicted now and if I don't have either (especially on days where I gotta write unit tests) I start feeling like that crack dude from the Chappelle Show.

Between iOS and Android performance wise never really saw a difference. Owned iPhone's up to the 6s and switched with the Pixel XL, currently using a Pixel 2 XL and feels really fast. No regrets post switch.
