(fwiw, go actually seems cool and some guy in coc wrote an nes emu in it which is cool too)

alternatively, hire me yospos!!! here is my updated resume MOBILE DEVELOPMENT: - this one time i started on an ios app and it sort of works but man infinite pagination is really tricky and i started on a library for it but ow my head - um i made a minor bugfix to awful.apk that wasn't even accepted as a pull request b/c i think geekner figured it out on his own WEB DEVELOPMENT: - let me tell you about my serious of failed ember.js projects, - some django stuff, a while ago. - i'm pretty good at a javascript, there's definitely no abundance of JS programmers or anything, im one of a kind imo OTHER: - i wrote a video game irc bot equivalent in python and it worked but the game tanked hard so  - a history of crippling depression and self-doubt that is sure to lead to excellent projects that certainly won't be abandoned halfway through - self motivated in incredibly short bursts before returning to cheetos, video games, writing big OPs for bad threads Jonny 290 posted:where the eff have you been i stopped yosposting outside of phone threads because seeing anything besides abject failure made me jealous abraham linksys fucked around with this message at 16:00 on Sep 10, 2012 |

yeah anal volcano you have a laundry list of joke toy languages there, i recommend getting solid in at least one IT pillar language so that you can use that as justification to get a job in which you can leverage all your joke toy languages on side projects etc etc

do a WPF app in xaml b/c thats pretty easy and quick and gets you some basic c# knowledge. Then when you get a job and you have to do web crap you'll be able to annoy everyone by pointing out how much better xaml is and how they're all idiots for perpetuating web "languages"

you can have job stability with your fancy hipster languages too, just use them to build your company's entire architecture and be grumpy and unhelpful whenever someone asks you to explain parts of it. also add in a dead hand switch that takes the whole thing down if you're gone

i dont know if there's a reloc budget actually, there might be, it depends on the dude i guess? every time i ask HR about it they're all "it depends really and blah blee bloo blee blah" also i think they're willing to let a really strong perl candidate telecommute from wherever

anal volcano rather than spreading your veneer knowledge even thinner than it already is you should pick a language and learn it properly and/or learn some basic theory. you could even use one to motivate the other! why dont you read up on something like dynamic programming, its an easy and interesting topic with lots of scope for playing about. you seem to be forever writing hello world 10 different ways or in 10 different languages. do something that actually challenges you and you might not feel so miserable about your achievements.

one kind of lovely thing that i'm learning is that even though i work 40 hours a week at coding, i cant use ANY of it as future portfolio material, so in order to have the same quality in all my stuff i am basically going home and staring at perl for 4 MORE hours a day and trying to go "hmm how can i show ingenuity and brilliance in this backup script". nothing you can do about it but bootstrap but it still annoys me

homercles posted:hahaha linux IS the standard ahahahaha (unless you're doing mass storage whatup solaris arising from the grave powering zfs how did that work) well i meant the software. they dont standardize configs so stuff like httpd requires a super custom parser to do stuff with. sometimes you get a properties style one where its just key=value, but most of the big name linux softwares roll their own terrible configs.
