   There is no real difference, they all tend to get ideas from each other (for instance, Vue.js 2.0 picked a lot from React). So, Vue.js is perfectly fine – if you decide to be in the front-end development, you'll pick up other framework

   I want to change my current development role and put myself into different position to the end of the year. I want new challenges and I want to try to work in different environment – from sandboxed browser to real servers (or containers), w

   Is not it too enterprise'y? Is it possible to find small (~100 devs) company using .Net and C#? And also, how much it will take to achieve some decent level (to be able to work as a middle dev)? I think with Python 1year should be fine

   Yeah, that's true about both Java and .Net, but what I am afraid, is that these areas are too "enterprise". To be honest, I am leaning towards more small companies. I like .Net Core project, but again, I am afraid that I&#x27

   Thank you for advice! Actually, I know that language is not that important, but as I said, without prior experience, I am afraid that if I will market myself as just a "backend/software developer", companies will be afraid, a

   So, should I know the details of how, let's say, PostgreSQL works, or just normalization forms with effective analyzing of SQL queries is enough? I know the basics, but how deep should I go, if I want to be a serious developer?

    Yeah, basically we don't have node.js microservices, but sometimes I add endpoints to our node.js server with server-side rendering. Also I am trying to create my side projects, but as I said, I suffer from not solid knowledge, so I fe

    Personally I feel it is not really about "grass is greener situation" (though of course it contains part of it). What I want is to be a better developer, to learn new platform, to get familiar with Linux, with processes, with infr

    Thanks! Very helpful gist. The problem with Clojure is that I am not very proficient in JVM (actually, I know very little about it), and I know only basics (like create a simple REST CRUD), so I have some doubts that I'll end up gettin

    Yeah, that's a good one. What would you recommend to focus – Flask or Django (or maybe Tornado), given that I like to wire stuff by myself (so I enjoyed building an API in Golang)?

    Yeah, actually, I listen to some podcasts, and one of them touches distributed stuff pretty heavy, so I've heard about quorum, consensus, paxos, etc. But it seems too heavy, so I think it is much easier to enter the market through full

    Yeah, basically I can use node.js almost instantly for writing actual backend, but as I said I'd like to avoid it. I want to broad my programming horizons via using new language, new environment and exploring new community – I know, al

    Java and .Net both seem too enterprise. I'd like to make the transition during the year, so is it possible to get a job despite not having experience in such fields? Scripting/"Startup" languages (like Go, Python, Ruby)

    by bloomca 10y ago

    To be honest, I'd like to avoid Node.js train at all. Of course, I have some experience creating server side rendering and adding small features like authorization, but as I said, I'd like to dive into different communities and ch

    I don't really think that their conclusions are very honest. They provide only extraordinary situations, which are not usual by any measure. Masses during (and some time after, for like ~1 generation) such events are much less demandin

    What puzzles me the most, that nobody managed to create highly customizable editor for websites. People have two extremes – create everything from scratch, or use some hardcoded solutions, mostly for people without any programming knowledge

    Speaking about exact itineraries, it is a very common practice. For instance, for almost all ex-USSR, travelling to the "Western World", you have to provide the same exact route of you with days, reservations and tickets. Some cou

    Which Chromebook do you use? I've bought Acer R11 to myself, and gave my MBPr to my wife. Of course it is a huge downgrade, but my idea is to relax from writing code in the evenings for a few months, and then later install some linux o

    Extremely true. I am always laughing when people ask for specific javascript framework (especially for frontend), and don't agree if you don't know the specific language (let's say Clojure), but know JVM – even with experienc

    So, no responses so far. It is very interesting for me, how different the world would be without such precautions, and is it possible at all – which metrics would serve as "suspicion" instead of color of your passport? I think it

    I personally think that the problem with your approach is exactly as it is described in the article. You offer tutorials which you can compare with your implementations, but let's be honest – it is boring as hell. People usually treat

    This is actually true only to some degree. Of course, you can't create your own full-fledge game, but in terms of automation you can do a lot. You like to listen to certain radio, but it has shitty interface? Build site/app/e

    This is not only about PC, it will shake the whole society, so to publish such results is simple dangerous and unacceptable – I feel the situation is close to artificial keeping of some jobs, just to decrease unemployment. Also, I think it
