Countries handle this differently, the word "engineer" in many is a legal term which often America ignores. Even in Canada you can't just call someone an "engineer" without a very specific accreditation. This is a mistake many software developers make on their resumes too, in case you are applying for jobs outside of the US.

It's like calling yourself a doctor.

There is absolutely nothing Microsoft can do to fuck up Github worse than the retards who have been in charge of it so far. The biggest injustice is that the owners of Github got anything for their product.

How could they fuck it up any more than the soy boys currently running Github. Microsoft should buy npm too, or write a replacement flat out.

That's not the worst of it, I hear some of the hackers bought facebook ads swung an entire american election.

Bloat is a big problem and there are way too many frameworks and tools at everyone's disposal many of which are horrible. But that isn't the biggest problem facing the tech community. It's the people.

Jesus Christ what does it take to find a developer who doesn't suck shit at their job. Just because a tool is available doesn't mean it needs to get hammered into the project. Learn how to write something that can be read. Managers exacerbate the issue in many ways, chiefly by not seeming to understand the different between a good developer and a bad one. Diversity hires and social justice are out of control, SCRUM practices are bringing capable developers to their knees.

Often in the end they just get Indians to do it.

One good developer can do a better job in less time than 20 bad ones!

I'm impressed with the number of large scale fuckups a company that size is able to absorb and still keep running.

In my experience Rails is the simplest thing ever. The price you pay is that the product you build with it is slow as hell, hard to upgrade, doesn't scale worth a damn, and is full of cruft after 100 failed ideas went into it.

But it is extremely fast and easy to build a thing with it. It's why loads of new programmers pick it up to learn with. Switching to anything else is a rabbit hole into a lifetime of bettering yourself as a developer and becoming a professional. Which is hard.

Is it just me or was Gitlab always a slow bastard, written in Ruby on Rails of all things. At least initially. I don't remember ever being impressed by their offering.

Oh bullshit anything would be better than the cockups that have been running it so far. Microsoft ported .Net to linux, wrote TypeScript and gave us Visual Studio Code.

You code should self document, stop writing comments

Sometimes in programming you end up doing everything even if you have no training at all because many with the job can't do it worth a shit.

Latest technologies, not necessarily. Latest libraries? The worst programmers I've ever known use every goddamn library they come across to do the most mundane crap imaginable.

Nobody would trust you and more importantly nobody would trust that you provide the best search results. For some reason people actually do trust Google, to the extent that hundreds of millions tell google where they are every second of every day. So to use google search isn't exactly a leap for them.

On top of that google's search results will actually be better than yours, potentially forever. Because even if you caught up, the expenses you had faced would have investors kicking your door down to augment the results to better serve your income sources. The income sources would be the same people that own everything.

Respect is earned you stupid blue haired freak with no societal or programming skills.

Yeah. As much as we may wish not everyone can do it.

Amazon's entire technology ecosystem is a nightmare. I don't understand people who understand it. Competitor please.

Unity is a strange animal but once you wrap your head around the concept of game objects basically replacing a large amount of scripting it gets pretty easy to use. Hard to keep all of your game objects organised.

Forgive my ignorance wouldn't it be a lot simpler to overlay html subtitles over html5 video?

I don't like these survey result articles. They don't generally tell me very much about which tools to use because most programmers are awful. I much prefer technical and usability comparisons.

Unless you're hosting far-right hate-JavaScript.

Also mulling over jspm.

Yarn has the exact same code of conduct bullshit that npm does they're both pieces of shit managed by retards, and yarn uses npm. While I've come to the conclusion that I won't be able to find something that doesn't use npm, I would like to switch to something other than the npm cli and am looking.

Currently mulling over pnpm.

There should be a man and a woman command, as well as genderfluid command that outputs the reason why the last command you typed was violent speech.

This has always been the stupidest shit. We're talking about code, not people. When code shows up in a repository who is really discriminatory about code, nobody!

I can't think of a more sanitary industry with regard to race. It doesn't play a role until fucks like this made it play a role. And whenever I see a repo take on this code of conduct I know to flee the sinking ship because it's being maintained by retards.

I think lower than expected sales numbers for the "iPhone X" (god if it were any other company Apple fans would be mocking how stupid that name is.) Has largely to do with skepticism about the new user interface. A lot of people don't feel comfortable using it in the store.

This could be an opportunity for Apple to backpaddle on their mistakes, fire all the diversity hires in their offices, and make an actual good phone OS without two devil horns cut out of the screen at the top.

Then push the new SDKs. Pushing the SDKs now when older apps already work perfectly fine on the new phone punishes their developers. Who already are being shackled with less than ideal development machines to work on with the MacBook Pro. Which is really just an overpriced consumer laptop.

There are other technologies that are useful too. Particularly, persistent connections. Data is getting easier to come by not more difficult. ;)

I didn't know progressive web apps worked on apple devices. It's a google invention and I thought only android supports it.

I generally just use the email address as the username. That works perfectly fine, they're all case insensitive and only support a limited amount of characters and it works around the world. No reason to make this complicated. Don't allow usernames that wouldn't have worked as the first part of an email address before the @.

I hadn't thought about it that way. If you're a contractor, no problem really.

He was rewarded for being muslim and bringing something to school that looked like a bomb. Unlike the white kid who chewed his bread into the shape of a gun and got expelled.

The engine will optimise whatever it is trying to do, readability is way more important than performance regardless. I remember interviewing a guy who wrote all his loops in reverse because of performance gains. So I ran a simple test in my browser and not only were normal forward-loops faster but I didn't like his face.

const onlineCount = Math.floor(Math.random() * 2001) + 3000;

Less like it was written by a retard -- unless "+1" is the actual number of online users.

All dating websites do this, they inflate their numbers present fake profiles use fake pictures. Re-use pictures and profiles from other states, recycle messages sent between users. Show you old profiles that have never been logged into more than once or were deleted. It's all bullshit you'll never meet anybody.

Tinder is a little bit better but even there almost everyone on it is an old profile that never gets used. Unless you pay tinder money, then you get more active profiles.

You need to apply to more companies. Your skills are noticeable, and if not then perhaps you have to work your way up. Otherwise, finding companies that know and are worried about their success. You will find one.

A good gauge for this is to use the part of the interview where they ask why I want to work for the company, to praise them on this very issue. Regardless of how much I know about how the company run (because often they hide it). I'll bring up the problem, talk about how I have more faith in their leadership than other companies. Talk about how it's an advantage in the industry to hire people based on merit and skill.

If they are a bunch of SJWs I don't want to work for they won't hire me. If they are a company that knows what I'm talking about it communicates to them that I think I fit.

Yeah sure learn multiple languages. The question was what is the most useful language.

It's an easy out for managers who can't do their job. They just say "we implemented scrum to the best of our ability and even hired more people on to make sure that scrum is working as designed."

Do your fucking job and run the company you dipshits, none of this is necessary.

The most useful programming language is JavaScript there isn't any competition. It's an absolute fucking knockout. You people are blowing smoke up your own ass. Python and other languages such as Go are very useful programming languages once you want to work on something very specific but you aren't going to get anywhere unless you also know JavaScript. So stop bullshitting yourselves and learn how to write E2015+.

Those are all indexes.

I find there's a lot of perfectly good variable names available on thesaurus.com

I never noticed Bootstrap depends on jQuery. I was not using it for other reasons but that is ridiculous. In my experience projects grow out of Bootstrap and it is a fairly sizeable problem to remove it.

Holy that jQuery dependency though, what is this the 90s.

Spaces also appear however you want with your editor. Generally with some sort of code standard for the project it's uniform too. Mixing tabs and spaces is inherent in the act of using tabs, you dirty dirty scum. I hope your whole bloody house collapses.

Have all of the tabs people been gassed appropriately?

That developer is doing too much at once. Solve smaller problems, then use those parts to put together something more complicated.

Event based languages are very very useful. Otherwise you end up with while loops eating up an entire process and junk like that, Javascript is not an ideal language but is it ever useful.

Languages like Python you can basically just use it to write scripts, you then need another layer outside of it that is the real "application", the thing that you run, but it's lower level like a bash script. That networks a complex infrastructure of shit together. Need something to run at a certain time of the day? Set a cron job. Javascript all I have to do is calculate the number of ms I want a piece of code not to do anything and done.

There's memory leak issues that are easy to run into coding but ultimately Es2015+ is awesome.

JavaScript is a fantastic language, it's useful for literally everything you can do in programming. The problem is its community. Good god, what in the ever loving fuck is going on.

Just learn how to use JavaScript first. Forget about the libraries. The language is good by itself.

I would say no in C# because it is a typed language. If you are permitted by the compiler to call the constructor it should run without issues. Now JavaScript on the other hand, yes, yes constructors should throw errors.

Software engineering is hard and the industry is flooded with under skilled SJWs and diversity hires. Imagine if architecture was structured that way, structural engineers crying all day about the white man bringing them down. The fucking country would literally fall apart. You have shitty software because it's a cushy job that pays well so it's targeted by activists.

It's also largely run by betas. Every dude who was good at life, had a life, so wasn't interested in computers or software. Betas spent all their time on computers and are now leaders in the industry, they fold for those SJW activists.

Make a app that tracks subscriptions for popular services across the web. YouTube is where I'd start so that people don't need a Youtube account, can subscribe to any channel, receive notifications reliably that channels have new content, and possibly even offers the content across multiple video sharing websites to view it on.

That's what I'd build if I had any spare time.

Tools are there to help you build something. The central problem is that people are using a sledge hammer, or a nuclear bomb so to speak, to build an about page. If you need a heavy tool like Angular or similar, then you need it and it's useful. It will get you to your goal. Recently I've found that Vue/Vuex are awesome. If what you need is a static page that basically is a spaceship it's fantastic.

If you've got a full backend, with REST and html processing without a massive amount of movement on the page you don't need it though. It just depends what you are building and what you need.

I hate it when I load someone's stupid programming blog and it's 20MB of Javascript. It looks stupid as hell. Hopefully recruiters start catching on to this instead of thinking it's impressive some day.

All of my interest in this article was wasted having the author talk to me about "1, 2, many" subtracting 1 from 1, 2, many, and so on. Like I'm retarded. I was learning about floating point numbers. Take your pretentious article, it's Walpiri tribe, and shove it up your ass.

That is insane man. I suppose you could do that, I'm a software developer. Managing the hardware at that level just feels like I would need to be 2 or three more people total. Like that's a lot of skills.

The tech world has been full on SJW for a few years now it's terrible.

Following cursory investigation I find their FAQ refreshing. Thanks for sharing this suggestion.

Eye out for web hosts that have stupid language in their TOS.

Also discussion about locations. Hosting in India a good idea? Hosting in the US? Where is free speech going to be cracked down on the hardest and where is your data most secure.

The !g option literally uses google search, it's identical to typing your search into the google search box. Otherwise you're right, they aggregate their results from Google and other search services.
