No you were not, what I was referring to had nothing to do with locking down version numbers. I said "fragile". That doesn't mean something wasn't objectively "my fault". Yes the bytes don't change themsel

Wow. Maybe about a year ago I wrote a comment on reddit it read almost exactly like that abandoned aliens sentence. I think I said something like "waiting for the mother ship to take me to my people.".

This is a pretty naive approach in most cases. There are tons of companies (I'd argue most) where firstly there's no "next big salary" to be received (it's a slooow upwards trajectory) and secondly promotions are no

That's a redundant question. Zabbix is why not zabbix.

If what you're doing is not too complex I recommend you consider using the AWS command line client. You can script it for example in Python with the subprocess module.

I have to agree with that. The javascript ecosystem in general is extremely fragile. I have lost weeks and weeks worth of time investigating how X and Y silently broke again. And I say that as a hardcore webdev who is very well familiar wit

Same. I think it would be a nice statement to make if angular.io itself was an Angular app that was a joy to use.

Sadly what I have found is almost anything worth knowing is not possible to know early on. Curtains fall after 6 months and that's when you know some real info. Especially true if the company/team is not a large or well known one

I have not yet properly begun freelancing (however I am working quite hard on side projects). I was getting - more - overweight but since I quite the 9 to 5 I have lost 6kgs and it's only going down. I'm not sleep deprived I sleep

I bet someone will also complain that he "mansplained" one of his talks. Give me a break. Go solve a real problem. First-world morons who are so fed up with the comfort of their lives they have to actively go chase drama.

I don't know enough about the specific case to prescribe something confidently however if your gut and other sensors tell you you should be leaving do it. Better to leave after 1 month (and ignore it in your resume) than to stay for 9

It is fairly standard practice to mark for deletion and communicate on the UI to the user that their data will be deleted in X days. Also doesn't hurt to spell that out in terms of service and privacy policy.

Look for another job and put the history behind you. You can offer a lot of value to a new employer, don't walk in through the door from a position of weakness. Walk in through the door like the valuable experienced employee that you c

I've tried doing a little bit of that before but didn't seem work very well. I could hardly spot a good "pattern" in the jobs posted. Most of them seemed ad-hoc and custom enough that after looking at a 100 you will stil

I strongly disagree with most of what you have described. A lack of interest in certain topics or unwillingness to engage in particular activities does not automatically imply that I think those are below me or that I'm superior. I&#x2

If you don't mind I'd be interested to know how much you charge.

Yes they are scams. Next time they offer you "unlimited" vacation say that's very generous of them but you don't need unlimited vacation days you know exactly how many vacation days you need and that's 28 days. If t

What would you like to make? They are all ok and can do whatever the other ones can. A lot of people choose based on their primary preferred language, so if someone likes PHP they might use Laravel, if someone wants their stuff to be in Pyt

I'm also interested in this topic. Is there any room left in the Wordpress plugin space? It seems like pretty much any use case is fulfilled with a big-name plugin so I imagine you'd have to go extremely niche which would have a t

I don't know about the companies you mentioned but if I were you I'd choose Sears because of the 50% higher pay. 50% is a lot. Once you "unlock" the Sears salary you will most likely never go down from there. So in a cou

Find a good reliable long-term physical storage option (I don't know one to suggest maybe someone else can). If it's a small amount of data you could use a QR code printed on paper then put the paper in a safety box?

I have one piece of advice for you. Start looking for higher paying opportunities and when you get a nice offer that you are happy with hand in your notice and move on. Don't hold out for a big raise at your current workplace, it never

Yes I have used AWS a lot and been happy with the UI, it gets the job done. Google Cloud Platform UI (and speed) was just actively hostile towards me. For example I went to the App Engine section to create a simple flask app. It keeps forci

I recently signed up for a trial and tried to use Google Cloud Platform. Oh my god the UI was amongst the worst I have ever experienced on the web. Super slow and hard to navigate. Stupid "tutorial". I tried for a good two hours,
