How do you switch from one strain to another? How do you know what strain you work in?
I am working for a large bank this summer in San Fran on their main website. This site has an Alexa score in the top 25 for the US, and is in the top 100 overall. They have said I would be working in NodeJS, as they are rewriting large portions of the site with node. Will this project most likely contain people of the Engineering, or IT mindsets?

- morgante 11y agoIf you're building a website for a bank, it is definitely IT work. Nobody sees you as anything but a cost center.

You unfortunately just can't teach yourself everything. It sounds like another form of pedigree selection. Or maybe dividing the field up into "us vs. them". Pretty understandable sentiment if you get pushed into fixing Healthcare.gov like he describes in one of his talks and working with guys arguing about tickets not existing because they're on different ticket systems and people with zero motivation to build a decent product. Wastage is immense in IT from the sounds of it in this talk: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Vc8sxhy2I4 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Vc8sxhy2I4
