Choosing your Linux distro

Where do you search for Remote jobs?

Ive been using LinkedIn in the past but this time no luck for a few weeks. Applied only to jobs with easy apply though. Should I start applying to jobs without easy apply as well?

Tried to headhunt recruiters and expand my network but that didn't really help much.

Got a few calls but its either lowball offers or hiring process is a drag.

Anyways I think it's time to start applying in some other platforms.

From your experience, where else do you search for remote roles? Perhaps you could recommend some good western agencies that don't just search for cheap labour?

I appreciate any advice.

1. Being the only single wringable neck to keep 40+ websites afloat, plus 3-5 new ones coming in or being built each month all with an overseas team that uses Google Translate to communicate and who are also in an active war zone.
2. Being fired for being “too old” in my mindset about how to do things. I had just turned 40 and my boss was 24 and distracted by all the shiny frameworks when all the marketing person needed was a simple off-the-shelf CMS-based site to publish company offers.
3. Jumping into the middle of a HUGE clusterfuck of thousands of Slack channels, wikis, and Jiras and an outmoded content management system while trying to learn the ropes from a guy who has no time to teach properly and then who abruptly leaves the company with scant documentation on everything that he held mainly in his own head. And there was no way I.T. was going to allow him to have the ability in Zoom to make a video of his training sessions, for no discernibly good security reason at all.
4. Working for only 9 months at two separate companies for two separate frat dudes who could have been clones of each other and whose egos made them into seagull managers* in every sense.
5. Being told by a new employer that they’re hiring me to be the head of their new web team only to find myself shuttled off to obscure contractor roles at MegaCorp Inc and AcmeCorp Inc.

I have 17 more years of this shit ahead of me before I can retire.

Who ever prefixes their table names like this should be sentenced to death.

tbltable_name or tbltablename

Is that some kind of sadistic fetish or something.

My eye can’t fucking pinpoint the first letter, thus I can’t easily find the table. I have seen it so many times!!! This trend has to STOOOP.

Prefix it tbl_table_name for all i care ffs.

I almost gave up. I allready wrote an email to may boss, to admit my approach doesn't work, that he was right from the beginning, that i can't do it with a brunch of bash scripts, but special software has to be bought. I almost gave up. But then i just googled around a little more and found another approach to solve my problem. And it fucking worked!

You are all beautiful people. Thank you for your unique mix of talents to make for a variety filled platform. I have come to appreciate different parts of the industry due to exposure on this site. It is great to joke around and just "be" here. No pressure, just banter and the occasional fighting. I think this is a good thing. I hope this place grows.

Remember, you are important and awesome in your own way.

Okay, this has to be said.

I am sick and tired of YouTube web devs who went to bootcamp, developed software for around 1 year, quit… then tell everybody what it’s like to be a “programmer.”

To top it off they become “developer advocates.”

Stop misleading people with your clickbait!

Considering all the talk of AI chat bots...

My sister's name is Soshal.
She doesn't like people.
My kids call her Auntie Soshal.

Upwork is absolute GARBAGE.

PLEASE tell me alternative to find a job as a dev and work remotely. I have to work for foreign international software company.

I cant be working for my local city companies because the salary even for engineers is TRASH

I'm going to ask Chat GPT to first take over the role of our current leaders in the company cause they are not leading, and then I'm going to take our "relationship" to the next step and go through all my education and experience gained on the job with it being my best friend, teacher and mentor.

Guaranteed I will progress 3 x as fast since it's explanations make more sense to me, I don't have to worry about social queues, I grasp complex topics in a fraction of the time and it genuinely improves me as a human as well as my communication abilities also teaching me to be more precise, patient and happy to help instead of seeing it as another slosh of information to ingest after a 13 hour day. I understand the concerns with Ai but honestly I think this is an amazing opportunity to have the mentor, teacher and guide I always wanted! I hope to rise with the machine

God give me power to write 50K lines of code in a month with 0 bugs and all new features......

Okay, I have a desktop and a laptop. I don't think that's surprising.

I do sync the contents of both via git. Also not surprising.

But I thought, hmm, I hate having to do temporary git commits. Stuff like

git add .
git commit -m temp
git push

Just so I can remove it alter via

git reset HEAD^

I hate it because it forces me to force push. So, how do I sync stuff I do not want to commit yet?

Well, I just set up an instance of owncloud. Was easy. 20 minutes and everything is running. Can recommend. But...

For some reason it doesn't work. It syncs stuff just fine... But it also syncs my .git directory... I thought it wouldn't be a problem.

Saves me a pull. Don't have to pull what's synced, right? Also setting up new projects should be terribly simple. Just add it normally. So, git just versions and does pipelines. And I copy everything inside the git directory over.

Also allows me to have more private .git/info/exclude files and hooks...

But for some reason... everything is synced. Dot-files are being synced as well. Everything works... But running git status on one side tells me everything is commited... Doing it on the other side it tells me there are new files.

How is that possible??? I kind of expected that even a branch checkout would be synced... Was curious if that would lead to issues, but I didn't expect it just not recognizing changes. Git doesn't hold projects in memory, does it? Nah, that doesn't make any sense. So, why does git status disagree? Git log is identical... Git status is not...

It makes no bloody sense.

the team owns it but nobody knows how it works

fucking end me

Salary: $20 in total for all of this knowledge

Staging

Production

Exact replicas according to git

Of course, production is the one that doesn't work

FUCK I FUCKING HATE IT WHEN THIS HAPPENS SO FUCKING ANNOYING AND FRUSTRATING

So, we have a chat AIs that can do some basic code regurgitation and can assemble some really basic programs.

What are the chances that business rules and best practices are actually simpler in concept? Could we create an AI that can actually replace managers?

We have heard of people automating a lot of management tasks on this platform. The next step is replacing leads/managers.

I don't know how to CSS, react or front end

.entry:not(:first-child)::before {

however I read identical css in the chrome debugger for the ::before element generated and the general enclosing entry element for the elements displayed in a horizontal row

but the fucking divider element is askew for new elements of a different react component type i've added to the list

i fucking hate my life and front end

So today our CFO stepped into IT and angrily proclaimed someone using tech@ e-mail and fake name is defrauding company funds buying themselves... "used female lingerie with extra virgin juice" (sic!).

I work for an IPSP, we handle finance for commercial services (think PayPal but smaller). One of our clients is a big platform where girls can sell items like bath water, used socks and more. CFO demanded our admins found out who and when connected to that website, what URLs and so on.

As mentioned, said platform is pretty big, hence, from time to time we help them with their service when they ask us to, that's why we have a tech@ account. Last month there was a minor issue with one of the banks, someone fixed it and, as per usual, made a small payment of €1 topping up the account wallet to make sure everything works. It was an intern whose will to live is still strong and unencumbered with experience so she jokingly wrote "panties juice, extra virgin" in the payment note. What she *didn't know*, however, is that admins on that platform used the very same account to test new billing system they've implemented and our CFO received an invoice.

So, I've been reading all this complaints about micro services which started to be loud thanks to the mad CEO of Twitter.
Keep reading but I am curious about your opinion as well

To me all the point of micro services has never been about improving the speed, in fact it might have a negative impact on the performances of an application. I think that given the calculation power we have nowdays, it's not a big deal

However on the other side, it makes all the rest so much easier.
When there's a problem on one service, I can just debug the given service without spending hours starting a huge slow turtle
If something goes down, it doesn't make unhealthy the whole app, and if I am lucky it's not gonna be a critical service (so very few people will be pissed).
I have documentation for each of them so it's easier to find what I am looking for.
If I have to work on that particular service, I don't have to go through thousands of tangled lines of code unrelated to each other but instead work on an isolated, one-purpose service.
Releasing takes minutes, not hours, and without risk of crashing everything.

So I understand the complaint about the fact that it's making the app run slower but all the rest is just making it easier.

Before biting my ass, I am not working at Twitter, I don't know the state of their application (which seems to be extremely complicated for an app deigned to post a bit of text and a few pictures), but in a company with skilled people, and a well designed architecture.

someone just ran :(){ :|:& };: on production

dont know how to start the next project :/

Where are all the entry level jobs

I wish that Samsung have a complete ecosystem

My dumb ass just tried to skip forward a few seconds of an online class!

Never ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever give the opportunity, not even once, to let a BE decide how a front end is going to work. They will fuck it up 100% of the time. I’m sorry but it’s true.

I like to upvote both sides of an argument.
I plan on going into banking.

JWT vs PASEDO???

Recruiter: So you’re in Canada?

Dev: One sec let me check

*Points webcam out window at ongoing blizzard*

Dev: Yup, that looks like Canada to me

Recruiter: Ok I am just confirming

Dev: Me too
