Why do you need certs? I've almost never seen a usa engineering job req that asks for certs. Rather they ask for experience. Maybe you could build something and talk about that in interviews. Or do you live in a country where it's normal to require certs?

Sounds to me like you are playing this nicely. The job wasn't what you expected and isn't going to give you engineering experience. And (big wtf here) they are failing you in the most fundamental way they can: correct and timely comp. Failing to do this can also be a sign that the company is in dire straights or has bigger operational problems that will affect you down the road. Another reason to leave.

They didn't deliver on what they promised, so you started planning your exit instead of wasting more time there. Well done, in my opinion.

Details? There's rarely any reason someone should have to feel this way.

> arguments don't have specific types defined.

If type systems are something you're already used to, I would avoid JS for everything but the smallest projects. The only advantages to vanilla js that I can see are the learning curve and the lack of build steps. These are great qualities if you want to have a tiny app or hire the cheapest possible developers.

If you haven't already, check out typescript.

1 horiz, 1 vert, (work-provided higher-end 1080p) and using mbp 15" built-in display because it's too good to waste.

Mbp display gets intellij

Vert gets fullscreen tmux'ed iterm

Horiz gets browser/Cal/mail/slack/misc and second intellij project if needed.

Not gonna argue here. You said fastest, not best.

Smoking weed tends to work well for me. Not for everyone.

@AlmondSauce This is analogy is accurate.

Maybe CMS developers fit in here as something like expert clipart managers who have some beginner knowledge of how to create their own clipart.

I worked in fintech for a bit but I don't think that's relevant here.

You aren't going to get anywhere trying to tell a recruiter that the employer needs to change their policy. If you are only willing to accept remote work, just tell them that.

This is only good advice in specific circumstances. Many paradigms have conventions that encourage expressive and verbose naming. In that context, this is bad advice. In the (probably less common) case where shorter names are favored by convention, shorter names are good advice.

Either way, short names are not a tool meant to help you avoid misspelling.

In coffeescript, this is not a convention. For the most part, you should use whole English words to name things.

I like the idea of going to the teacher sooner rather than later. Your classmates dismissing your work without helping you understand what you can do better (or even reviewing your work at all) are harming your education. They may not intend to do that, but students need to protect thier own educational investments in my opinion. If you feel comfortable, ask them for constructive feedback and if they don't give it, I think it's time to talk to the Prof so you can get back to learning. Since this is a comms class, maybe ask the Prof what you can do better to get your ideas across to your unreceptive audience. Good luck!

If you are going to use vim or emacs, you should invest in learning what code quality tools are available for the technologies you work on. The tools most people use these days would warn about a name like this in coffeescript, and they'd do it after almost zero configuration beyond: "install coffescript support module".

If you don't want to bother with that type of configuration, try out some different tools that do more for you out of the box and take less know-how to configure.

I feel for you, OP. I don't know why your contributions are being ignored. If they need improvement, then you should be getting feedback, not ignored. If they are solid, then they should be considered.

Do you have someone senior to you who is interested in your career? If so, maybe address the issue with that person in a frank manner. If not, I recommend you prioritize finding that person at your current company or somewhere else.

Edit: oh you're in school. In that case, I have no idea what you should do, but the stakes are much lower at least. This will pass.

I'm gonna go ahead and bet the farm that this happened to you because you are better at Ruby than you are at python. Not because of any deficiency in python.

@Magauw

Mods, I accidentally reported Magauw's comment. There was a bug that caused the report button to display with the text "modify". I was curious and I clicked it. Then I got the dialog that said I had successfully reported the comment.

I have a screenshot of this bug if you're curious. Please ignore the report

If a company tries to do any type of shenanigan with your salary, it's time to talk to hr (or person responsible in a startup). If they don't immediately correct the issue, it's time to start the job hunt. If you feel you have enough leverage, stop coming to work until they pay you. Compensation is the most essential part of your relationship with an employer. This tactic has worked for me 1 out of 1 times in a country with labor laws that did not protect me.
