Comment on: Teach Yourself Programming in Ten Years
Oh yeah, then how does a programmer from India with a weekend of reading a book apply for senior programming jobs? /s (but not really)
Comment on: What programming language is good for a beginner?
Still no answer for this cat? Take up Java. It really blows but you can make money doing it.

To be fair, so does github
Comment on: Stop saying learning to code is easy (because it sets begginers up for disappointment).
Natural progression.

This is still a thing? Make it a service.
Also, is it hitting the db tables straight up?
Is this a leftover from 1999?
Comment on: There's a guy over in /v/IAMA ATM claiming to write cryptography programs for the U.S. Gov.
The most striking thing I learned is that the politicians straight up lie on TV and nobody cares. I mean straight up lies they know are lies. Some of them are things journalists have to know, but they just don't give a shit or are told not to report on it.
Every once in a while there will be a leak, like the Benghazi video bullshit. In fact, the Clintons lie a lot. Most of it can't be proven because the information is classified, but they lie.
Comment on: HOW TO: Move from github to BitBucket. I just moved 4 private repositories and it took me 10 minutes.
I was going to say that you could just use the open source code, but realized that shit isn't open source.
Fuck that place
Comment on: Programmer quits work on project after getting triggered by a variable name (The comments, however . . .)
If they act like a prima donna then they cause so much shit in the team that they make things worse in the end.

Jesus H Christ people are overly sensitive. Now I want to add code to it that uses variables like iCockSucker.

Be a man and use notepad.
Comment on: Why I won't do your coding test
I was mostly fucking around, but it sure seems like a ton of programming tasks are very similar and people smarter then me already did it, so why re-invent the shell? Of course you need to format, comment, clean up, etc.
If the framework is good, then even an idiot like me can probably figure it out.
Not every dev is a "rock star". To me, the real rock star is the one that takes something complex and makes it simple enough for most to use. I call it de-nerding.

People show up for an interview that can't code this?

Copying code from something like a private git repository is the same process as copying it from github.com
Comment on: Why I won't do your coding test
but it's significantly different from just cutting & pasting random crap from the Internet.
Not really. The process is almost identical.

So there is a career in it? I don't give a shit if they like me or not.
But this brings up a point. Why can't there be a code of excellence repository? Starting code from scratch, in more cases, is just a waste of time. Most of the things that need to be done are already written. So why not standarize on it?
Comment on: Why I won't do your coding test
I don't have time to figure out if you actually wrote the code in your portfolio
I always wondered if there is a coding job where you take existing code to make it do what you want. I'm not a programmer, but I've created programs from existing snippets and modified as required. Performing selects, updates, deletes on data is simple, especially since there is a shit ton of existing code that already does it. Just need to modify it to match what's needed.

Don't make them have to go to your boss to explain how difficult you're being by insisting on standards.
If we could dump the shitty debts then we wouldn't need it.
