I know few people that got jobs thanks to bootcamps. How exactly dev skills would help you with starting a job? Do you want to code it yourself? Or do you want to know what if your devs go correct path? You have to understand that developme

I guess you are right, thanks for pointing it out.

I agree. Thanks :)

I see that's also a smart way to look at it. How do you figure out that there is a market for the product if you don't know much about the specific industry? Let's say I like sports, but I don't know much about that indu

How would you know if their stated runway is realistic? What I mean, I feel that startup is gonna try to get you no matter what (in some cases), so how do you know if they are telling truth or not?

I don't want to sound pessimistic, but I think that only a few percentages of OS projects are worth any kind of money to pay for. Why? Because who is gonna pay for yet another react select component library that you made. Yes, it'

I think that coming up with a good project idea is a hard task. Don't listen to people that claim they have so many ideas. Most of that ideas are probably bullshit, that's why they have so many of them. In my opinion, it can take

What helps me is well-defined tasks. I put them in Trello and prioritize them. I tell myself that I can not go to another task without finishing a previous one. I also tell myself the sooner I finish the more time I will have for myself. I

I really like the feeling when you are learning a new language and you build something and it works. On the other hand, I find programming cool, when you are building your own stuff. You design it, you put constraints on it and then you dev

I've been using it daily for the past month. (I've used it before too, but not daily). Switched from macOS. I had a lot of problems with updates, with some drivers not working properly. But the biggest problem for me is not having

I think OP thinks about documentation of framework/language like an explanation of why/how/what for and not exactly API references. I agree with both of you, good API docs is mandatory, but also reading about advantages/

Wow, I love the comparison!

Makes a lot of sense. Thanks, I didn't think that way, although I do check out job lists quite a lot.

There is no way for me to reply to all of that answers, as I have to work myself. But I really would like to thank all of you for answering my questions. Now not only I know, what information to include in my post, but also what kind of thi

Hey. My blog is not ready yet. I also didn't mean to market myself. It was quite unexpected to me that the question got so much attention. I'm really happy about it, though. It means that I'm asking correct questions and I ca

Nope. I rarely can focus. People are on the phones, moving a lot, talking with other people. Nope.

To answer your question, I guess anything that applies to a market where there is a big rise of newcomers. Like new programmers and coding bootcamps. If I only knew, I wouldn't tell you. I think what makes sense is to check out what th

Second the advice here. Not sure about the first one, because from what I've observed switching jobs offers the biggest rise. But definitely talk with your coworkers about salaries. Write down what you have achieved for your company si

I guess it depends if it turns out that you're a crucial part of the cog in the company and you play it well, you can get on track.

> The disadvantage to this strategy is that it’s a one-shot thing. You can’t keep spamming these forums with the same stale content because it’s both ineffective and pretty offensive. To move forward, we’ll need another content strategy.
