Internaut! posted:kid I know is a flash developer at a top media shop, google called him up and said we'd like to interview you, in the interview they asked him all kinds of questions about things like inodes and efficient pointer/bitshift operations yeah whether or not my idea was good (spoilers: probs not) this is kinda my ultimate point

ahhh spiders posted:are you trying to get a job in the industry because if they don't see a degree and you don't have experience it's probably not going to happen i have a github and a few things that had/have a few thousand users, fwiw i mean i'm getting a degree, hopefully, but like... i want an internship at least and poo poo. and if i could somehow get a job w/o finishing a degree (like a few people i know online) then i'd do that. either way i need to be able to do interviews. i really like this because it has the exams and stuff, so maybe i could use it with a book or lectures or something. the lecture notes don't really seem like they give a complete picture.

ppp posted:it doesnt make it any good though. you can change the font to comic sans and it'd be unique twitter bootstrap looks generic as hell - half of that is because it's used in like half of all new web apps, and half is because it just looks very plain on purpose because it's supposed to be a base to customize it's about establishing a ~brand identity~ or whatever. i mean the coursera landing page looks pretty great, they just need to get their app's look up to speed hm.

zero to app in like 5 hours (thx for the api elgruntox) poo poo is easy. the hardest part was configuring xcode to use an external library, which was a p huge pain. i mean i won't pretend i like "know" objective-c now, but it wasn't like it was really difficult to get the hang of. still kinda figuring out some parts of the syntax and the whole delegates thing which seems to be kinda key, but its fun now i just need $100 to run the app on my phone :s

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 |

ive been working on a really complicated irc bot that sends you text messages if you get highlighted in irc and even lets you send a reply to the person who highlighted you it uses a lotta neat poo poo - skybot as the base (python irc bot) - twilio to send and receive sms messages - flask as the sms receiving endpoint - sqlite (and eventually postgres) to store the user info - redis to send messages from the flask app to the irc bot it's been really fun and python owns  (although i have nowhere to host the bot )i wish i had put this much effort into something that was actually a good idea
