oh yeah, and find some real companies as clients, by this I mean companies that have like 50+ employees, that have budgets and established products etc. I work for a company with 100, or so, employees that has an established web app product

Just thought I'd point out that you're running a service business not a product business, there is plenty written on this topic, there's nothing inherently wrong with running a service business but they are known to be harder to scale, for

me too, I worked with a guy who did that, it was annoying when looking over his revisions, during a period of 1-2 days of work (on a project with just 2 people committing on it), the rev number would increase by 50 sometimes

You're already well ahead of where most people who become programmers are at your age. I'd recommend looking for freelance work online and start getting paid work experience as soon as possible, there are a number of freelance sites for thi

It depends how long til your options would vest, if its more than another 6 months, I strongly recommend you consider looking for another position, even with only 6 months experience you can find another job, especially after having been wo

Just leave, find another job, working 90 hours a week is ridiculous unless you stand to make a large amount of money based on the performance of the company.

Find a lawyer who specializes in this field that you can trust and hire him to oversee the deal, there really isn't any other advice to give on a matter like this, its a complicated business dealing and you need someone on your side to make

wow these "tech" worker parents are seriously pretty messed up. I'm pretty sure my early computer use and curiosity led to my current career as a software developer, I can't imagine not knowing how to use a search engine until eighth grade,

Front-ends aren't written in Java, what does Java have to do with it?

I don't agree with the government and hate their authoritanarianism but isn't this essentialy what the OWS protests are all about? Its become pretty well known that big finance / big banking own the government and anything that threatens th

The government is all over money transmissions now, they are putting regulations in place in the name of fighting terrorism, war on drugs, etc I don't think this is indicative of a larger problem of all startups being affected by overwhelmi

I think the bottom line with this is you shouldn't be using a framework as the entire architecture of your application. Frameworks usually are designed to do a few things very well, in the case of web frameworks, they provide the mechanisms

I agree, I use what I consider to be a great IDE for the language I work in, it does variable suggestion, everything and its great because it makes me write code faster and not cut corners
405.
by devs1010 15y ago
If you don't end up needing to scale then your application is most likely a failure, I guess I just don't quite get this approach of "we'll build it as cheaply as possible and then re-work it if needed" because I'm looking at this from the

Dude, if you really feel you have a case then you can find a lawyer who will take it up for you and will only take payment if they win the lawsuit, not having money for a lawyer isn't a legitimate claim unless you really have no valid case.

Java is huge in web development, its just used mainly for larger projects

by devs1010 15y ago
You should be using a standardized code formatter in an IDE to take care of the bracket and spacing issues, etc there's no sense in putting a bunch of effort worrying about something like that. You can take a room full of 10 developers and

It depends what you consider proficient, I was definitely producing in my job at less than 1 year experience but I definitely feel that I know more now than I did then. I think it takes at least a year of solid experience to get to the poin

by devs1010 15y ago
Because they are just going by whats trendy I suppose. If they wanted to build something serious that can actually scale then they probably shouldn't be using a dymanic language at all.

You need to talk to your manager and bring up your concerns, there's no reason to continue being "on separate pages", you need to both get on the same page. If they are telling you to do one thing, you do another, and then get praised for i

agreed, maybe I haven't expanded my mind enough but once I started using a widely used language to program in (not saying which) where I can write relatively easily, scalable maintainable code, find plenty of work and pay the bills, my desi

I just look at it from an engineering perspective, having worked for some companies where the code base was just "hacked" together, in an unmaintainable way and I just sometimes think it would be better for the tech community as a whole if

Interesting, thanks for the info.. that said, you can still obviously read xml files into memory and hold them there if speed is the issue, I think its still easier to edit XML files rather than however its done with a BLOB (I've only used

Thats a rather bizarre way to store config data I can't see any architectural reason why this would be desirable, does anyone have any insight into this?

I agree about Unity being terrible, I just hope the Ubuntu dev's are going to realize this and relegate it to an "experimental" UI and then go back to the classic as default
417.
by devs1010 15y ago
yeah but if the user loses a crapload of data because someone did something stupid on the server-side that can get the company in a lot of trouble. (even if they have backups, as it may take a day or 2 to get them in place) With UI bugs, it

Doing CSS and HTML is completely different than programming and its frustrating to go back and forth between the two. For example, if I'm tasked with fixing some bug or implementing a feature to where I have to write Java code and then also

I didn't notice a mention of GWT (not that it wasn't in there) and I would agree if thats the case, Java is very strong for server-side development but GWT definitely can be bloated and it isn't really Java anyways, you write it in Java but

I would think if a service-oriented-architecture (SOA) were used as much as possible to modularize a project such as this to make it easier to change functionality, was a modularized approach taken or was this just one big codebase that was
