Came up at last boardgame night, there's another front-end dev there and when React was mentioned he brought up "isn't there some kind of scary licence crap?"
One year experience of hard work, and yet, I find myself unemployed.
Anbody knows any offers for remote work for developers?
I'm having a hard time finding work in a city that's booming for programmers.
It's strange.
10 years of experience doesn't mean shit without that bachelors degree I suppose.
i find remote positions are hard to come by for newer devs.
the idea being that working remote brings inherent communication obstacles that most companies don't feel comfortable introducing unless the developer is more senior level/proven they can communicate and coordinate with a team remotely.
Also bowen, I find that interesting...what's your language(s)?

C#, C++, PHP, Java if necessary (seems a lot of companies are focusing on Java.. it's a cousin language to C#, it'd present no difficulties in learning)
Trying to move to the Denver area but I'm getting a lot of "we're looking for a different type of candidate" type replies.
It's also really hard to look for jobs without being in the area because I'm not really familiar with like... any of it. At least here I know the out of the way areas and what they do and all that.
I've got 2 headhunters helping me. But they're probably never going to turn up something, I told them that '80-90k' was a good ballpark because I'm making 60k here and it's a slightly higher CoL.
I'm assuming that they're really put off by ITT Tech on my resume, and that I'm sort of devops more than System Admin or Programmer. Great for start ups, I suppose, but pay is shit at start ups.
bowen on

Do you have the word 'DevOps' on your resume? Do you have experience with Docker/Containers/Continuous Integration/Chef?
Because if you put those words on your resume and can even kind of back it up, you should be able to find a job.
Those moments when you're manipulating a list of string parameters to put in an IN statement in SQL and you throw in a couple of random line breaks because it's wrapping and you've divided it perfectly into thirds.
Depending on the sub field, technical / academic conferences can be useful but you should start by going to ones organized by ACM / IEEE instead of corporations. Personally I wouldn't list attendance of these on a resume, but they are a good way to keep informed on a field.
Hmm. I wonder why they're having trouble debugging the code.
MyStruct**** structArray;
Uh huh.
I don't even do C++ anymore, and that still gives me the shivers.
Funny thing. The C standard has no upper limit on the level of pointers allowed. The compiler may impose a limit but the only requirement is a lower limit of 12.
My opinion is that one goes to conferences not for the actual presentations(which will always be very uneven), but to talk to people. As many as possible. What are they working on, what are they using, how etc. See if you share problems, pain points, directions, resolutions. If you are going with the idea to "learn" it will most likely not happen, but you may get an interesting contact for a future project, you can put a face behind a library you are using and discuss a roadmap etc. It's a very good pulse check of a community. I'll be at Euroclojure & dotGO in the fall, if any of you guys are going, ping me!

I dunno, ReactConf was a career highlight for me.
Learned a ton, met a lot of very smart people that actually led to a job interview(didnt take it), AND i got to drunkenly sing karaoke with the react core team/creators
My bad, ignore the CRTP portion of it. This is a simplified version of what I'm trying to do
struct a {};
struct b { a foo; };
struct c : public a {};
template<T, a T::*> struct thing;
thing<b, &b::foo> this_works;
thing<c, ???> this_who_knows;
however I think I have to create a second thing template to handle it
Came back to this problem today, and I agree it looks like you need a second template to handle the problem. You could most likely create a single class that handles both, by using enable_if to fire off the specialization for when you don't have a data-member of the correct type.
my boss asked me today if I would be interested in being the scrum master for our team
I am brand spankin new (~3 mo?) but it seems like it'd be good experience to have so I said that I would be interested if it didn't take a lot of time away from actual coding
there is a different person who wants to do it, but he thinks would not be suited, so I guess we'll see how it pans out either way

still, nice to be asked I guess!
I spent about a year and a half as my old team's scrum master. Let me know if you have any specific questions!
Yeah, assuming you can find enough of the pointer wtfs in the code to get it up and running, how much time is that actually going to take you and how many bugs are there going to be down the road?

Thanks, I'll look at Cloudflare still probably.

Nope.
I want to get away from devops. I hate system admin.
in my past non technical job, we were encouraged to seek out a professional conference to attend once a year or so
conferences might be put on my professional organizations, or by other organizations on topics that might be of interest to someone in the field
is there something similar for programmers? organized around tech stack or domain or ... ?
or, are conferences dumb and programmers typically do professional development by ____ ?
I am newbie just trying to get a feel for how this is typically done on the tech side
Uh huh.
I don't even do C++ anymore, and that still gives me the shivers.
It depends, but generally most people don't.
If you're deep into mobile, Apple WWDC or Google I/O aren't terrible ideas. MS Build might be useful if you're in cutting-edge Windows dev.

Rotating duty scrum masters? Good.
Asking somebody to be a scrum master? I'd rather not.
YMMV.
Edit: This assumes you *are* doing scrum of course, if you are just calling it scrum, ergo, calling it scrum master, then anything works!
Especially when I already said it was going to be a mess since they had no experience with the tech and should've been a pair project.
Edit: Fucking hell. The only reason this thing compiles is he commented out most of the actual code.
Haha.
There is currently no reaction button adequate to express my real life reaction.
It takes a while for the "ctrl-s, esc" reflex to wear off, but it's so worth it
Because gems like this:
Are going to drive me to drinking.
So value is a memory address? Man, if only we had some way to represent those...
You know
On certain platforms, that would truncate the pointer value, because sizeof(int) < sizeof(int *)...
Which I'm sure you're aware of.
So will that be scotch or whiskey to start the day with? Vodka? Absinthe?
It's like he wrote this all in C# and then tried to use search and replace.
but
that's still pretty easy?!
Bwah?
I am sending you my sympathies.
Build a funeral pyre for the code. That is the only correct solution.
