Same here, I'm buying my favorite albums in Bandcamp and uploading them to my jellyfin, from there I give access to my music interested friends, so we always know what bands to listen or talk about when we meet for lunch/beers
I'm not sure if I'd name them "the politician", because I think they are not doing the harm consciously, but I've met several of them. Pair it with the "CV builder" ,that just throws new technologies at problems to add them to their CVs, and now your codebase is a minefield.
I was like you 7 years ago (graphic designer and did some small websites), and best thing I did was taking my savings and doing a coding bootcamp (Dev Bootcamp in SF).
It helped me understand what stuff I still needed to learn, and how to work in a team. Also helped my confidence, seeing that I was able to work with other people, some of them had already jobs as programmers, and solve problems with them.
After that I decided to work for others, but I could as well had continued doing frontend master courses and stuff like that, I think the Bootcamp taught me the "glue" between technologies, and how to think like a programmer.
There are a lot of online Bootcamps now, so no need to go to another country like I did, I'd look for some bootcamp where you work together with other students, and that has great mentors with industry experience.
Nice,I used to meet with former bandmates to listen to new music discoveries together, and since we moved away from our hometown, we were looking for something like this.
Yes, two of my favorite comic artists from the 90s. I was clearly in the target for this soda, although I have never been into soda. Maybe that was the error.
I don't come from that era but couldn't agree more, every time one of my coworkers suggest using a library I tell them that is ok as long as they maintain it, I prefer to spend my time coding and like to understand as much of the codebase as I can, instead of having to learn and maintain tens of external libraries. Specially if we only need a couple of functions from that library.
I normally lose those debates though, and the thing reaches a point where the complexity of the code makes it impenetrable.
Was going to say webmonkey too, internet connections at that time were dial up and pretty expensive at the time in Spain (you were charged by the minute)
So I downloaded the entire archive using a shareware scraper , and learned a lot from that offline copy.
> I review mostly for architectural compliance and "bad idioms" or code smells. There is difference between not like I would write it and badly written mess and many programmers confuse them.
This ^ I just had this discussion last week in a PR, if the comment is a matter of opinion, the whole team should agree and put a rule in the linter or style guide. If not every one is free to have their own preferences.
They are also guilty of posting fake job offers to work at Honeypot, just to let you know later that "we already have candidates at an advanced stage of our hiring process." (one day after the offer being published)
"However, you know, Honeypot is a tech focused career platform and we currently have a number of positions that match your profile."
Another spaniard here, reading the article you get the impression that Spain is some kind of dictatorial country, where the government dictates which times you are allowed to work. It is not, companies have freedom to choose, unless you work for the public administration (where I lived, they work 8 to 15).
BTW I live in Germany now and still do a daily 30 mins siesta after lunch.
From my point of view not bad, I'm over forty and took me 2 weeks to get a job here, also it's really hard to find good seniors I guess due to salaries being lower than other start ups hubs.
