If you're not already set up with a Ruby development environment, I'd use pick Hugo over Jekyll. Jekyll is nice but getting all the Ruby junk going was annoying, IMO. Maybe it's trivial for someone better than me.

This is how I remember website development. Those were extremely fun and exciting times. 1997 was my freshman year of high school. Geocities and Anglefire FTW.

Using Hugo adds a lot of complexity. I'm using Surge.sh and raw html/css, I can have a site up in under 2 minutes. I think I spent less than an hour on my blog (it has a very simple layout).

I'm already dual booting Linux on that machine, but it's just not good enough for the games I'm playing. I'd abandon Windows in a heartbeat. I'm also using Windows to run Reaper (DAW).

I have updates turned off. I don't have any important data on that drive, I just use it for gaming. If I get some kind of virus, I'll just nuke the whole thing and start fresh. I really wish an alternative to Windows would pop up

Windows 7 - I like to play games occasionally but I think Windows 10 is trash, I hate MS spying and advertising in my start menu, etc.

No, I was commenting on statement, "everyone does this". What I was trying to say is that with effort, you can begin to identify times when you are biased toward a certain thing (in this case, different programming styles), and co

You can train yourself to recognize this pattern in your own behavior.

I wish this incident was really an elaborate hiring scheme.

Desperate companies may be hiring through tech recruiters also. A lot of small companies don't have anyone on staff that can effectively interview and hire a programmer, so they hire someone to do it for them.

There's another issue - most of my code is stuff I've done for clients to make money (I can't show that on github), or stuff that I've done for myself to make money (I don't want to show that either).

Repos weren't considered when I got my first job. I did do well in a technical interview where I pair programmed with someone and solved problems.

I've been experiencing language difficulties since I started programming more, usually during the workday, when I'm actually working on the code. I thought I was going crazy, but it sounds like you have similar experiences. Is thi

After a day of intense coding, I am completely hosed when I get home. I find programming to be very exhausting and demanding. If I'm just doing easy front-end stuff like css, I don't feel this effect.

I second this. Get some practical experience before trying for the "sexy" job.

My advice: Look for help with your resume. Polish it up. Don't lie, but word things the way you need to word them to get your resume looked at. Also, look at smaller companies and less tech-oriented cities, if you're not already.

I'm sorry, you're not going to need that kind of math for basic web development. Source: I do web dev every day and use little to zero math.

That's interesting. I've worked with some contractors who are quite excellent. I'm interested in areas where the bar is set higher.

If you have a solution to this problem, I'd be extremely interested.

I need the education but I already have a job. Two years ago, I would have jumped into this feet first.

That's funny. What do you mean, though? That it's easy?

I've never looked at photo.net, now I wish I could see it before it changed. edit: I just checked it out on the wayback machine, I definitely like the old site better. Not as "pretty", but easier to navigate.

In other words, a "Brutalist" website would look like a website from 1996. Which I dig, because I dislike the fancy stuff.

Using a search engine used to require quite a bit of skill to find what you were searching for. I got pretty good at crafting my searches.

Thanks for sharing your thoughts.

I agree with you, but I'm currently dealing with a Python codebase that is very verbose and is written in classes with 5 - 6 levels of inheritance - it's a nightmare. This type of code organization couldn't be considered &quo

I joined a car club and met some acquaintances that way, hopefully some of them become friends. There's got to be something you like to do that other people like to do.

I for one don't trust anyone in that list (maybe computers?). But, I think I can trust my neighbor. Maybe that's where it starts.
