Thank you everyone, I will have to share my experiences with you as this unfolds.

@h3ll yup. That's why I found it relevant.

It's not required, but it's strongly recommended (use strict enforces it) as a way to prevent variable scope creep and promote explicit declaration. It's a little quirky compared to other languages for sure.

@garrettw it was one of the first languages I learned to use in a production environment (for work), as we did a lot of text processing. PHP bears a resemblance to it. We're moving away from it in favor of python but I will always default to it if I need a quick and dirty script to do something.

@garrettw primarily Java. Second, python, and I'm inheriting a giant project written in C/C++.

@garrettw I've worked with prepared statements, makes sense. I've not used PHP regularly for 6 years

@Chefren is it? I see it and think "omg u don't know X about Y? Wtf?!"

But they could have still learned to apply it on the job, right? I've used jQuery before but I can't remember how to pull it out of my ass either...

@garrettw I'm not a web dev, so not intentionally

!

*no pants. FTFY

Yeah, and remember when you had first learned to program or something else really difficult, the "simple" things were so hard... Don't be a jerk.

Conceptual integer, not computer integer.

He doesn't live in the US. People in glass houses shouldn't throw stones. The US is nothing like this.

That would be a good matchup

@uddinstock Oh I know, just being cheeky

Am I the only one who sees that they're going to be sending a boy to your house? Watch out for pedos!

Iiiittt's a... Lie. That's what it is. Now to go shit myself a brick...

@loumorgsy wahhh wahhhhhhh

You didn't escape your quotes, this whole rant is a syntax error 😕

@loumorgsy obviously because you missed 9

You taught her how to interrupt processes and get the key code for keys? 😃

@aki237 no disagreement. You got pretty adamant about people "not knowing their shit" and to RTFMP. Well, there it is. Semantics aside - It's all the same thing. Now let's all agree to hope such power never falls into the wrong hands.

@aki237 welp, these came from the online man page references for su and sudo, as well as the history of sudo... If you want to be trite about semantics, there you go. ❤️

@aki237 easy, simple mistake. When used in the context of "sudo" it does take the form "super user". It's just similar but not directly related commands.

Also, "super user do" is more of a command directive, rather than a grammatical statement. That's likely why, IMHO

Cept you should never use equality with floating point...

They're gonna take that away soon...

alias fuck=su -
fucking fuck # become root

@gosubinit Yeah that's a glaring theme... I've actually tried to move but I hit the same roadblock... Not enough relevant experience in areas that they want because it's just not in the cards where I'm at. I don't tend to interview well either it seems. I feel I can design and problem solve complex issues just fine at work, but for some reason with trite interview questions, my nerves cause me to flounder.

It also doesn't help the dude is my friend. He behaves totally different inside and outside of work. It really sucks.

Thanks for the advice everyone!

What about writing plug-ins? I've written several Atlassian plug-ins for our group at work and it's sometimes seems like glorified plugin installation... But that shit can get complicated.
