@burswag Did you graduate from the College of Arts and Sciences? I went to University of Alabama and they have two CS degrees. One is from the Arts and Science department and the other is from the College of Engineering. They're identical with the exception of how much math was required. Weird stuff.

@burswag the only problem is most larger companies use a secretary or headhunter for filtering applicants. they usually provide at least 2 major requirements: BS degree and X years of work experience. These non technical people won't care how much experience you got if you're missing the other requirement they were told because there's probably someone else with those requirements also look for a job.

If you luck out and find a small company where the guy hiring actually reviews the resume then you got a much better shot, but it's difficult to transition to other companies or negotiate your salary.

Software degrees as requirements are really new so you have guys walking around with 20 years of development and no degrees who can't change jobs because corporate policy usually indicates a salaried employee to have a degree.

The fact that you have a BS with certain CS courses sounds like you got a strong case for your degree being related to what a company would require anyway.

You need to get a degree. Most places won't give you a second look without one no matter the experience.

Tell him about Stack Overflow. If he hasn't heard of it, you'll have his job in 2 years.

@fyroc The python took the photo. That or it was a reference to sergeant's biceps.

Don't apologize for a repost. It's only new the first times its ever posted. If things were never reposted you'd see less than .000001% of meme laughs. Not sure why people get so bent out of shape over a repost when chances are their source was a repost.

Thats a lot of work to make a point. Bravo though.

the same reason you decided to interview me.

what is this? Google tells me it's mythology

When interpreted this simply adds two registers together.

@yusijs wow. i got 0 in the US. i had to burn some vacation time for my daughters birth.

@yusijs I wouldn't leave a job that gave 12 weeks paternal leave either.

Stupid marketing has led to us wanting catchy names for things. This makes it impossible to get a "pure" search result set. We need to start using GUIDs as names. "How to reverse a string in AC45-BFG3-12A4-Q5P1"

Oh geeze. I consider a successful developer one that had the ability and capacity to problem solve. I had that same problem in college. It seemed like all the other developers around me "got it" while I barely scraped by on projects. #devlivesmatter

what's imposter syndrome?

But this unfortunately means the goodness of code diminishes with the dev's IQ. Maybe this dev is an idiot?

Time to go to your local library. Or tether the laptops in bestbuy to your phone.

backup the files and take the site down. don't be disgruntled and contact his customers nor ever admit you know it's a hoax. that makes you an accomplice

I like html books. Just avoid some ones that try to compound too much 3rd party plug ins into the material. i.e. html with bootstrap/knockout. it's a fine product is just stick to the basics at first.

I can't pee while people are watching me. People are watching me waiting to use the urinal.

I'm the latter but I don't appreciate the comments after the statement.

They have a pleasing sound, but be courteous of your cubicle neighbors; they won't find your typing as pleasing as you do.

You need to start compiling your colon before runtime.

Use that money you saved to buy you a desk :)

Head Hunters don't need sensitive information. The company's that hire them pay them. They should only need your resume.

I like how it stays positive despite the onset of obesity.

Such violence! Kernel panic... kill application.

You'll hate that Start button at first because your programs will be 7 layers deep and you can't draw straight enough lines with the cursor and as soon as you accidentally hover over the desktop the menu will disappear and you'll have to start again.

I've seen this joke a lot but it never makes sense. by the time the if statement is evaluated, bread has already been gotten. a programmer would still come home with bread and a dozen eggs. now if she said "while you're there, get a dozen eggs if they have any" then I would expect him to come home with all of the eggs.
