  • That has some really insightful advice and even something I hadn’t considered. They mentioned that with enough users, even bugs become features that are used. People rely on the way a system works, whether it was intentional or not and maintenance could mean disruption.

    I am not a dev but I am in IT and think quite a few of these ideas could be applied outside of code.






  • I think it kind of depends on your career up until that point. I have a lot of certifications and work experience. I list my past jobs, bullet point out my accomplishments. There is no about me section, or paragraphs. It’s bullet points and a section for clubs, volunteer work, certifications and school.

    If you have less experience then you may want to do schooling first, with projects and accomplishments, clubs, etc and then any work experience.

    The idea is be truthful, but not modest. This is what you are capable of, tell them. I completed project a for b reason by doing c things which resulted in d success. Define those variables over and over again.


  • They’ve been in the news daily with issues, Financial and otherwise. The sudden rush of people now just slows it all down.

    I am glad I signed up yeas ago though, it was a hopeful time when I assumed technology would help fix us, and give us answers, and help me know things no humans before us could know.

    Half the crap I downloaded from them is meaningless. Family tree is proprietary, and everything else is in formats I don’t know what to do with. Not like I’ll upload it again but it’s just files I have with no purpose now.
