gently caress them posted:I'm starting to wonder is this is a part of the webdev growth experience. Do you take side projects, change direction, or just embrace the lazy? just embrace it or switch to another field and realize it's the same everywhere my current job is varying ups and downs. sometimes working until 8pm, sometimes leaving at 4

USSMICHELLEBACHMAN posted:idk my job is web and i've been really amazed by how hard everyone is working all the time. either that or they're all much smarter than me and do things 20x faster (also possible) My last job actually had project management so we got poo poo done, but it was mostly just running plumbing/wiring type poo poo. Beep boop match biz objects to your well normalized DB based on what you need for what the user is going to do, basically clone your viewmodels accordingly; set up some CRUD for getting data in and out with WCF. Maybe you might do some actual logic that isn't just validation, maybe not, sometimes workflows actually have branching, woo hoo! The only hard part really was profiling stuff and "oh, that's right, async is a thing, and we can cache" when AJAX started being stupidly slow, finding a bug in jQuery that one time and trying to take a concept and make a view out of it. The rest was just beep-boop all the way up and down. Knockout made a lot of the UI side easy. I got pleasure out of the fact that I got stuff done, but in terms of "programming" it was mostly unleashing the libraries someone else wrote.

What the hell actually STAYS hard besides debugging?

Brain Candy posted:find another job because your current one isn't going to make you any better. or suck forever, that's doable I guess the irony is that it seems very hard to find a job where you can have healthy career growth while staying technologically current. seems you either put 80hrs in at a start up or clock out at 4:30pm maintaining some 10 year old legacy app

e: i think the root reason this company's so good is everyone is that it's a spinoff of a successfully startup, so everyone is in their late 30s/early 40s and has already had their big payday. makes for a v relaxed atmosphere coffeetable fucked around with this message at 08:00 on Jul 15, 2014 |

my worst fear with working in the medical video field is that instead of working on open sores i'll have to actually look at open sores

sql is fine for what it is until you hit scaling issues and have to port your entire backend of a production app to something better

Shaggar posted:so what is a delegate? Delegates are what separates c# from the uncivilized heathens of dynamic garbolangs. delegates are sort of like function pointers but way better because they are type safe. ok so whats the diff between this and first class/anonymous functions that I know of from js? other than the type checking

my stepdads beer posted:whats a good spring mvc tutorial the ones on spring.io want me to build a rest service or consume some soap i learned spring mvc from the spring manual and that was ok. if you're already familiar with spring, the only thing you need to understand is @RequestMapping. not that there isn't a lot more to spring mvc, and if you learn it my way you'll come back to your early projects and cringe, but if you understand @RequestMapping you can do a thing with spring mvc and pick up the rest as you go

my stepdads beer posted:whats a good spring mvc tutorial the ones on spring.io want me to build a rest service or consume some soap Yeah the manual is way better than the tutorials. @RequestMapping, @Controller, and component scan is the basic basic stuff. If you need to serve lots of representations, you might need to start messing around with MessageConverters, but the most common ones (JSON via Jackson, XML via JAXB) are totally automatic.

Unrelated, I remember seeing projects similar to FPM but can't remember their names. Is there another, easier way to make debs/rpms? I need to package some things that are only distributed as source tarballs.
