Having just gone through what you're feeling, I can tell you that it's totally fine. It takes time to ramp up in any company. Working with a code base with the sort of complexities you're going to encounter just adds to the

Yeah I expected more substance as well. I guess he's a good marketer for getting us to click that title though ;) That being said I still leave disappointed.

Having come from a nontechnical background (a degree in hotel management) and made my way into the industry, the fastest way to me is to just start learning. I assume she has no idea what she really wants to do in the field anyways, so she

https://freecodecamp.com looks pretty good. Takes you from html/css through javascript, has some algorithm challenges which are pretty fun. Worth checking them out

I swear the media has a bias too. So many articles are bashing encryption lately. I wish I could do more to fight misinformation and general ignorance than posting on my Facebook though. Ideas?

At my work we have a Devops Hour class that covers high level topics, typically has take-aways and homework if you want to do it (with a fabulous prize so yay incentive). I would say setting up a server and deploying your apps to it would

I've tried dating non-technical people and this experience sums it up: My friend and I are white boarding algorithm challenges for fun, having nerd talk. My boyfriend says, "I'm going to play video games while you guys do ner

If they bent over backwards for older people it wouldnt be ageism. It would be about respecting "experience" and the old boys club. Sure its not ok to be rude, but this is also a product of showing that things have changed.

How large would your offices have to be to realistically accommodate a team of people using these desks? They look neat to me but I can't imagine buying them because of the spacial concerns alone.

Except meat and vegetables. How many contaminations have happened with Salmonella or E. Colli that were more dangerous, and so wide spread that product recalls were required. I'm also not sure how many people are actually consuming S

Absolutely true. I just got a junior dev job and a lot of the process was evaluating if i'm the type of person they want on their team, but with a solid knowledge base to build off of.

This is why I'm doing my best to hunker down. It's not that I expect a crash anytime soon, but I like to be prepared. Sadly I fall on the junior end of the engineering spectrum, so I have a lot of network to build and knowledge

Articles like this make me love my 2000 Subaru even more. I'm gonna hate getting a newer car one day, but maybe by then manufacturers will better secure their cars.

Frankly the "big picture guy" comment is a bit snobbish. If you have big ideas and you know how to build them...go build them. Otherwise your ideas never mattered anyways.

I clicked this thinking you meant lean as in the Lean Methodology of build, measure, learn. Sure a company can be too tight when they are "bootstrapping" initially.

I absolutely ran into it when teaching myself programming, but it really isn't specific to programmers. I had conversations go boil down to: Me: "I'm learning programming" Programmer: "Good luck with that (sarcasm)

This may be just me..but I feel like Uber is being built up way too much. People outside SF see it as some shining beacon of Silicon Valley tech startups. If they make missteps and show weakness I wonder if it will shake people's perc

Yup. They grew well but their quality didnt scale with them. I imagine their churn was horrendous, because when I left their platform there was nothing to try and recapture me.

I really hope this works. I never understood whiteboard interviews. They don't reflect how real development works or how that developer works either. I hope you post an update when you have enough info!

Yeah you just need to say "laid off". Startups come and go all the time. Nobody would bat an eye at it.

I would think the use and establishment of connections would be the biggest thing. The MBA's I know in this city are all Ivy League though, so I imagine their network effect is far greater than a 'regular' MBA program.
