You know, I never sat down to think about how silly all this sounds, lol. I just auto understand, though I'm dealing less with AMI's and working more with Containers and Kubernetes clustersAs long as you can showcase your skill within a time limit, follow industry standards and communicate, then yes. What i mean by communicate is, you need to understand what other developers are talking about, the abbreviations, the technology, or you'll be lost.
"Backend uses Django, Frontend is Vue. Files are on S3 bucket and database is on RDS, repo is on Gitlab, SSH into server to pull master, then build AMI on AWS and deploy"
In this sentence you need to know the terms/technology "Django", "VUE", "S3", "RDS", "Repo", "Gitlab", "SSH", "AMI", "AWS" .. All Abbreviations, this is how coders talk and new technology is coming everyday. There's been times where i had no idea what the fukk was going on![]()
Yes you can. Bootcamp… even developing your own apps/sites.it’ll be hard.I don't know shyt about shyt. But this year I plan on taking up a trade and figured why not this one, that shyt nom contact.
Again, I don't know nothing about nothing when it comes to that industry but Ive always been book smart. But my question is , if I've never shown any interest in this type of stuff (computers and what not) my entire life, is it a wise idea too look at this trade?
I'm not expecting to make a certain amount, like I said I'm completely blind, I just want a cert to fallback on cuz I ont trust the peckerwoods at my gig.
Are there any mega threads on this?
Plz. Rep pending
Lol naw naw naw naw naw. I meant I'm willing to shell out the funds and go to school for it.
Intellectually it's very little I don't think I can do when I apply myself, I'm moreso worried about if the politics is super heavy in that industry. I have tattoos and a deep voice. Plus I'm growing my plaits back out.
Lol, the amount of teams I've worked with where they don't have enough developers is crazy.You get treated different as a programmer. They tend to respect you more. But really it's a company by company basis. Some might treat u like shyt. The only issues I've had so far was my first job I was underpaid then my 2nd job I was the only dev on the marketing team so I was overworked. But now I'm at a fortune 500 and shyt is sweet for the most part
Yeah thats why I was open to a corporate job. I used to never want to work in corporate America but after dealing with some of these startups/mid sized company I needed a break.Lol, the amount of teams I've worked with where they don't have enough developers is crazy.
Lol, it was like that when I worked for a bigger bank. I would come in, and just browse the internet all day. But when it was project time, they were unorganized. If I had more confidence at the time, I would have climbed the ladder a little bit...or I would've got into a fight because of politics, lolYeah thats why I was open to a corporate job. I used to never want to work in corporate America but after dealing with some of these startups/mid sized company I needed a break.
Been at my new job going on 3 months and I haven't done shytI'm just collecting checks doing pluralsight courses
Which reminds me, for anyone doing interviews, here's a resource I found... its a youtbe video on one person's strategy for brushing up on the technical interviews, plus a spreadsheet of the common interview coding sessions with answersInterviewing for a programming job is basically like passing a live test where you solve complex problems in front of people. Go visit leetcode.com. If you can't answer questions like that, live in front of people it's not likely you can get a coding job. I had 10+ years of coding experience on the job, built complex systems, and lead teams and STILL had to take 3 months off just to STUDY for the interview process. These jobs are hard to get for a reason.
Slim, they gatekeep like a motherfukka in the SW industry whilst saying they cant find enough black applicants.nah I don't qualify then. Didn't know the politics played a major factor even in that industry too
