MrMoo posted:New job status: trying to understand completely undocumented crazy code that even includes C++17 pieces. Money making software maintained by two twenty-somethings that does not build out-of-the-box, zero monitoring, far too many sleep statements. Initially it was allegedly targeting performance but with multiple maps being referenced by every request and request data never being purged it clearly is not now. The hardware follows the software, I have an 8 core Xeon workstation with 32GB ram, a $50 HDD, 4×1080p 27" monitors (HP SV27 ~$200 each) and is running CentOS 7. I cannot even use the nVidia drivers on the dual Quadro 2000 cards because the driver and Xorg hates that two are using HDMI and the other two DVI or something, Nouveau doesn't care. wait why is a linux system using XOrg? GPUs are for number crunching.

also, any recommendations on how many years into your career to start applying for roles with "senior" in the title? i don't want to get laughed out the door and currently have a year and a half in full time employment the job postings don't say anything.

i'd say being a senior is not so much about years on the clock as it is about accumulated maturity, acceptance of responsibility, clarity of communication, absorbed experience, and ability to lead without carrot/stick/bullying. go for it.

meatpotato posted:That sounds very frustrating The technical debt is staggering, the developers are quite interested in me fixing things but I think the "Head of Technology" doesn't really care, I'll find out next week when I'm back in NYC. Apparently they had one dev before promising the world but then left at the last minute due to some golden opportunity. C++17 just means they are a chasing new GCC releases all the time and their IDE of choice has no idea. It's not a complaint just a bit messy. leper khan posted:wait why is a linux system using XOrg? GPUs are for number crunching. Workstations as a desktop, the only servers are production, UAT, and beta. Apparently they had VMs before but that promoted a copy&paste of the VM mentality and they did not know how to rebuild the VM.

By the time they bring you in for an in-person interview, you have to assume they at least have read the resumes and seen who the candidate is, not just spending time interviewing everyone, and then it's on them as much as you. There's not a lot of risk applying to rando jobs, and if you have a common name it's probably even simpler since they wouldn't remember you next time around.

Apparently they had one dev before promising the world but then left at the last minute due to some golden opportunity. despite what you may have heard, 2016 was not the year of the Linux desktop and neither will be 2017. a machine that powerful is best used by connecting remotely and starting up whatever job you want. if you want to deal with your graphical windowing environment messing around with your number crunching go ahead though I guess. what assurances do you have that there isn't a bug in the poorly maintained Linux gfx drivers such that your texture memory for XOrg isn't clobbering the memory you're trying to use for learning or analysis. dual use gfx cards never sounded like a great idea to me. best case the thing you actually care about runs 30% slower so you can have transparent glossy windows.

It sounds dumb enough that its probably true. recruiter puts out ad, recruiter gets 200 applications, recruiter runs 200 applications through a bunch of macros that eliminates 190 applications for completely arbitrary reasons, employer is given 10 and picks 5 to interview, recruiter is given a sack of cash, recruiter instantly forgets the 195 rejected applicants who could apply every day for a year and the recruiter still wouldn't notice.

Luigi Thirty posted:help i'm trying to organize my poo poo C project and i haven't tried to organize a poo poo C project really what i've most seen is at the root of your project folder you shove all your .h files into an incl subdirectory and -I that in your makefile so /home/luigi30/projects/poop/incl/poop.h or whatever, then ~luigi30/projects/poop/Makefile has -Iincl and your #include is just "poop.h" in c++ you'd have subfolders under incl for representing namespaces i guess

another definition of senior is someone who's got thousand deploy stare from a bunch of subjectively large scale full lifecycle projects. but they'll return to the trenches again anyway. it's all they know. maybe we'll win this time.
