that horrible opengl interop library i complained about was being used heavily in the backend of a project i'm on it was almost entirely the matrix classes so for shits and giggles i homerolled a super basic set to replace them to see if there would be a speed increase benchtest went from 1350ms to 200ms  now to present it in a way that someone higher up takes credit for it and it actually makes it into production

They also paid relocation and are in fact a wonderful company to work for. I was a high school dropout with barely over one year of programming experience. I definitely got lucky, but you can do better. I mean take the job but keep searching for new jobs

hi, i'm illusive gently caress man and i'm a terrible programmer. When i graduated college, one of my professors recruited me for his startup company. It seemed great b/c we were creating unique things that nobody else has really thought of doing involving ~clouds~ and ~crypto~. my programming was really really bad back then. now its two years later. my programming is a little better? definitely learned a lot. The core idea for the company is still Good and Cool but we started like three side projects, two of which are definitely complete poo poo and i want to shoot my dick off with a gun. boss keeps shuffling me from one thing to another. nothing really gets finished robustly, and then a month later he's like "how come x doesn't work right" - "because you took me off x to write this useless piece of poo poo client side java application that everyone is going to hate". I kinda want to apply somewhere else, but I feel bad because a whole lot of things will completely fall apart if I leave (at least partly due to me doing a lot of stuff on my own early on and not documenting it well). also i have like 3% equity that idk if it has vested yet or even what vesting or equity mean precisely. anyone know a job in NYC where a terrible programmer can write neat crypto poo poo in C/C++? whats bloomberg like?

https://github.com/antirez/redis/issues/2253quote:Hello @wwat, you are right, there is a fundamental design flaw in Redis, we assumed that every user had an IQ greater than 42. This was one of the huge mistakes I did in the initial design. With new trends in IT, you can't really assume operations people always know where log files are located, nor that they are able to inspect it to find clues about why the system is complaining with an error. This is extremely clear when you mention the FLUSHALL problem. When certain users are not able to check or locate log files, go figure if they can imagine that allowing FLUSHALL is futile (and dangerous) since anyway the user will not be able to execute the next write command.

I'm paid well enough, hours are flexible, and i get deece bennies. i just feel like its so disorganized and half the stuff we're building is badly thought out, which gets frustrating sometimes. recently he's been like "we're gonna launch Thing in two weeks. im excited." and in my head i'm thinking "lmao not a chance in hell" but instead i say "hmm." i think i want a job where somebody just gives me some specifications and i write the code that fits them and go home.

Bhodi posted:gs gets things like job security, three dozen vacation days, and OPM saying that we had a two hour delay today because of a light dusting of snow. Ancillary benefits that make it worth taking a lower salary. But if you're on your first job with probably a student loan it's gotta be all about the dolla dolla billz y'all. student loan payments are wage adjusted so that part doesn't really matter

If you're in a big company, you're hosed, just leave. If you're in a small company, just ask to do backend stuff and say you're interested. I don't know many people these days who do exclusively front-end unless they're a designer.
