You should charge more! That is low enough it's in the "Why so cheap?" range which may even hurt your chances of finding work than being too expensive! If you have any work experience at all, double or triple that rate.

VSCode is not a fad - it has huge support from Microsoft, is the most popular code editor by far, and is a very good tool that's beginner friendly and allows for customisation. It is already almost a decade old. Visual Studio has been

Realistically which production DB tables don't have a unique id? Genuine question, never used one in my life.

A rejection screamed in your ear? Luxury! When I was a junior developer we used to stand in job line 25 hours a day for tuppence and if they didn't hire us we'd be shot.

The market is pretty horrible right now, in my experience. Speak to a recruiter and it should be a little easier to find something. I used to have roughly 1/2 of applications leading to interviews and around 3/4 of those leading t

Fun syntax gotcha that I saw recently was a YAML MAC address that were all numbers like 11:22:33:11 which Python was parsing as a sexagesimal number so some libraries were throwing type errors

What's the realistic issue with code injection over HTTPS TCP parsing into expected messages? If it is an issue for your system, can't you try read into some expected shape and throw an error if it doesn't parse to circumven

Yeah that was my understanding, I've considered using this before (sending objects over the wire and eval'ing them) but never implemented it. Lisp seems very good for this sort of stuff.

This is a no-code platform - teams still have to write the tests (which is no-code so... god knows how that is with regards to flakey tests or refactors). So $5 * hours of work effort per month. $25 for manual testing is still far cheaper t
