It's hard for me to tell. I've expressed interest in working in them in the past, and I have past remote work experience with good collaboration skills online, but they never moved forward for an interview with me :-/

I'm wondering this myself. I'm currently in a part-time contract for indie game development work. While it's been great, as far as I know it's an unusual situation to be in. It hasn't been easy for me to find anothe

That sounds like something that I am looking for. I'm interested in a "CS fundamentals" bootcamp. I have years of web development experience and while I could take a React bootcamp that would make me more marketable for that

That's a good suggestion to look at the product first and see if I'll like it. I will look westward for those companies because I find more interesting software and other products there. Most of the startup ideas in my city, Chica

I found Upwork.com too restrictive but I might give Freelancer and Bonsai a shot again. I'm hoping I can at least find a good client in a smaller niche. To be more specific my contract job is working on a commercial indie game title. I

I plan on doing that towards the end. I'm just looking for a way to get another contract job concurrently with this one. Don't think the local CoC would work as this is a remote job and every developer in the team works remotely.

You also get the flexibility of how you want to implement certain matrix math, eg. if it's calculated on the CPU or GPU depending on your needs.

This is one of those things where you usually have to go through the school of hard knocks to experience the "fun" parts of working for a small company. When I was a new grad and my first job was at a company of 10-20 people, I on

CodeIgniter was great back in its time but has been supplanted by Laravel in its organization of code. However what CI did well, in my opinion, is it lets you spin up a MVP in a really quick turnaround time and effective enough for small bu

What's great about Slack too is that you can create additional channels to split up discussion into different broad areas or concerns.

It's quite interesting to me that you can find homeostasis in physiological systems, but not in social systems, where runaway effects prevail. And seemingly a more robust social system would create a tendency for people to reach a more

I'm starting to feel this effect, having just bought my first new laptop in 9 years. It's supplanted my desktop for almost all my needs- only thing missing is moving all my old files from there.

I have a couple of work colleagues. I don't know if it makes a dozen. All but two of them have left the state since I've worked with them, so I can't meet most of them face to face anymore. They all do seem to have better car

Yeah. I usually ask if they also know anyone that is hiring. So getting into second-degree connections. It's weird considering I live in a big city. I felt like I was dealt a bad hand, but just made it worse.
