There is one fundamental difference between software engineering and any other type of engineering. It's that the feedback of the rules that govern the outcome is instant and received by multiple human senses. If you hit something with

If you are considering other options take a look at Ramnode. My experience with them was great both with support and a little server with an uptime of 2 year or so.

15-20 minutes per week of pointless non-value chit-chat talk on a meeting with coworkers is time well spent. Don't forget to ask them about something you remember about them from last week.

Because the topic was really interesting to me and I wanted to read about it! :( It rarely happens that I read the title of a paper and immediately want more than a peek. I got excited then got disappointed by a flat joke. Not funny.

Nah, this exam actually means you have an abnormal understanding of Java and a good understanding of how OOP works. It also means you can read and understand code fast. It does not mean you are a good team player or have experience in build

Second that - this will be a great story in 5 years. Just try to shrug it off and go for a second job. You have more experience now. I recommend not doing remote work as a junior. You can learn much more in-person and will get more feedback

What place do God have in a life of a wasing machine mechanist or a gardener? You write God with capitalized letter so it must be some kind of monotheism but I still have to ask which God? If the one in the Bible then as far as I know it di

To add another perspective to the discussion, Yegor Bugayenko (author of the Elegant Objects books) says that splitting data and data manipulating objects are "pure evil" because when you do it that way it is going against OOP as

This is such a strange thing to doubt. I'm so distracted by it I can't really answer your question. Being a software engineer is a bunch of knowledge accompanied with some level of problem solving. You can even be a medicore one a

Then this book may be written exaclty for you. One of the most memorable part is that the author defines legacy code as "code without tests". And you can handle it by the following: 0. poke around in the code till you find a part

Err... Citation needed? I think the definition of fact changes if you ask a mathematican or a lawyer. Those definitions will both be good in the context of their work.
