Word of mouth can still help you, but you at least need to find the community where people have the shared problem, so their recommendations have weight Overcoming the initial "why should I even look at this" to me is the hardest

Doesn't shock me considering the hard work -> nice life pipeline is in shambles in the US and it wouldn't surprise me if that's true for other countries too And we also chose to extend the presence of gambling in society -

You're not too pessimistic yet. Projects that devolved into spaghetti paid their engineers roughly the same as they will pay new ones. Looking at the incentives, it's hard to take on the burden of undoing technical debt if your sa

Why would you need to collude for higher rents with RealPage if a shortage of housing was the primary driver of rent increases? If someone's being that greedy, they can't really use supply and demand to say their hands were tied i

Which is small compared to Bitcoin + Ethereum's market cap (which will also grow). So if you think blockchain is bullshit, then VR/AR definitely is.

I could deal with the hype cycles better if the industry had more solid foundations on the basic stuff like CRUD apps and websites. We're still pretty lousy at it. It feels like a sinking ship but we all know it's not going anywhe

Why would you, 1) Learn a complex skill like software development (which now includes devops stuff), 2) learn a complex business domain, and 3) get paid for only doing one? Pay up. Pay up. Pay up. That's why!

>Out of interest, what "patterns from the .NET framework era" do you think don't work well in .Net core? Overriding equals to do memberwise comparisons on POCOs Any checking of types where pattern matching would be better

The language itself is nice, the code bases that companies produce with it is not, and sadly that reputation plays into your decision to choose a career stack. You're going to have patterns from the .NET Framework era being ported to .

It would be nice if they had other employment arrangements. Like being a solo developer with oversight. It is still true that some projects do not need an entire team and could be handled alone. The smart jerk is not smart if they can'

This has to be a prank or a joke to further make CrowdStrike look bad, probably for stock reasons. I just don't immediately believe a publicly-traded company with this many users does something this stupid.
