Yes, it was fool proof, until the world gave me a bigger fool.

I work with programmers and devops people who think BitWarden is too complicated. I get it when it comes to the product team and BAs, but even then.

Getting a job is a multi stage battle. Options 1, 2, and 3.5 won’t get you past the first stage, the inept HR screener. Doesn’t matter if it’s an entry level job, your resume looks worse to them than anyone with any professional experience. Option 3 kinda works for it, but even better would be an internship or two. That looks like real experience to the HR monkeys. Once you slay them, now you’re to the manager resume screen. This is where options 1 and 2, and maybe 3.5 can help. Score an interview with them, then it’s up to your shining personality to get you the rest of the way.

Every job in the industry has hundreds of applicants these days. It’s no longer enough that your resume meets the requirements, it’s got to actually compete. Since most jobs allow remote these days, it’s got to compete on a national or even international scale. Apply to on-site or hybrid roles to limit the market of competition. Make sure your resume screams that you’re better than the rest.

Good luck!

One project I worked on had 10 different languages. That was rough. But even your basic full stack web application is usually 5 languages: SQL, a backend language, HTML, CSS and JS. Usually some wheel reinventing frameworks thrown in for good measure. 5 languages is light these days.

The problem is you have comp sci majors who learned .Net or Java handed react, so they do their damndest to turn react into .Net or Java.

I have seen many travesties committed in react and angular from people trying to turn them into what they know instead of letting them be good at what they are.

As a fullstack developer I don’t appreciate you calling me out like this. Write an efficient SQL query you framework monkeys.

But also, this is very true.

Ok, email is terrible. It just offloads the onus of security to your email provider. SMS/Phone call however meets the “something you have” aspect of MFA, PIN now counting as “something you know” aspect. Ultimately it sounds super weak, but that weakness can be mitigated by other aspects such as device fingerprinting, geo blocking, locking out after failed attempts, etc.

The thing is, at some point, the bank will have a customers account get breached no matter what they do. If they want to be lax on security, they better provide top notch customer service when a breach occurs because they’ve taken the onus of security off the account holder and limited their options on being more secure.

I mean, engineering is really problem solving, and not do we web developers solve problems. We may have made most of them ourselves, and new ones when we solve those, but we do solve problems.

Yesterday I would have argued that with the rails framework Ruby is a great way to rapidly develop a scalable application. Today I started having an intermittent failure in one of my API instances and when searching about it the only thing I could find was one obscure blogpost that boiled down to “yeah sometimes Ruby Ave active record just screws up the character set off a string” exact same string, different results. Excuse me Ruby? How the fuck can you sometimes screw up a character set? There should be no sometimes to any thing here.

Also the ability to snapshot an image, goof around with changes, and if you don’t like them restore the snapshot makes it much easier to experiment than trying to unwind all the changes you make.

You probably don’t need anything. Laptops using disk have been in use in bumpier environments for decades prior to SSDs.

But let’s say you do. Bolt some eye hooks to the top of your case and suspend it with paracord. It’ll turn vibration into sway and your disks will happily keep on turning.

I can hide posts! My primary way of browsing Reddit and no lemmy client has had it. I’m so happy with that feature alone.
