We try to get back to them asap with a message along the lines that they don't have the skills we're looking for right now, but will keep them in mind for a few months should things change.

We've yet to catch a superstar with this strategy.. I wouldn't even call it a strategy. At one time we did have these positions open and ready to fill, we just never took them down after filling, just to see what trickles in.

For me, IRC, message boards, etc. I also think reading documentation is something that one needs to learn, and often answers a lot of questions. Even before Stack Overflow existed, I saw many ignore the documentation that was often right in front of them.

Yeah, I'm torn on this. I wrote C in emacs for 20 years, and still do. But when I write anything else, particularly javascript, java and rust, give me intellij ide's...

Crypto trading bot. Websockets, http, async stuff, some light crypto for authentication, database or redis access, some math. I feel it hits on so many points.

Will understanding the math make me rich? :)

You sum up my 3-4 years writing in Go. I’m going to have to point people to this comment. Thanks.

I struggle to see what problem space is better for one or the other. I’ve replaced all my web service type stuff with Rust and couldn’t be happier. Also a lot of stuff I used to do in Python is more concise in Rust.

No I hung up my Go boots in 2018, so may be a little out of touch.

I've seen plenty over the years as a professional developer of 20+ years and they are opinion pieces for the most part. I'd rather see a title along the lines of "Why you should avoid subtransactions".

Drinking bleach is harmful.

Really dislike these "considered harmful" type titles.

Even on that chart if you were hired mid 2019 you'd be looking at a 5% loss if paid in USD. That can be considerable. Of course the reverse could be true benefitting the worker as well.

But more generally I'm assuming this is a problem that some companies must have a solution for, even if its "tough luck".

Haven't we already been doing this for years? JQ has supported this for a long time as well.

I’ve been using a few Freenode channels via Matrix lately a while keeping my traditional irc clients open. A noticeable amount of messages never make it over to Matrix - as I collaborate with other developers in our irc, I don’t find these bridges very reliable unfortunately.

This is unfortunate. I recently searched the App Store for “ssh tunnel” and Prompt 2 came up. I bought it without much thought as I heard about.

Now I should have done my research but it doesn’t support tunneling or I couldn’t figure out. Some research told me that no iOS ssh client will. So I requested a refund and got it.

In this case I think the blame was on Apple. Not the author of the app.

Reminds me when I used to interview people with masters and phds who were obviously helpless when it came to actual program construction.

I like to think that my early ability to create code, a make file and package it up into something that just worked really helped my career early on.

Funny timing. Just got off my first Google Meet call an hour ago and was thinking they need to add noise cancellation. It was awful.

I consider myself able to write production quality code.

When I started with Go I thought it was awesome. As my projects grew I found them to become less maintainable than my previous Java projects, and still less maintainable than my newer Rust projects.

Used to do everything on Digital Ocean but had better performance on Vultr for the same price.

But either will do. My use was crypto trading bots, also using SQLite for storage.

To bad this requires nightly.

It’s as simple as it gets like C is simple. True for some of us, but not for most.

Drink and stay up too late.

Kids and wife go to bed. Have a drink catch up on a few things. Should just stop there. Next thing you know I’ve had 3-4 strong beers and it’s 2am.

With a kid or kids that age it might be best to take a break. When my first born was 6 months I quit my full time job to do a startup. 12 months later my second was born. A year later we sold the startup. Focus was the job and family. Learning new stuff was out of the question. I had some catching up to do when the kids got a little older but it wasn’t hard.

Already a big user of Synergy, but it doesn't do KVM. As in it can't change the view of my center screen from computer A to computer B.

Is the downward pressure a trend? Too many people in the industry? Further blue collarization?

I'm not in any of those markets but have lived and worked in Vancouver, and if I still did would likely have the same job as I do now.

$84k US but living in a part of Canada much cheaper than Vancouver. 4 days a week. No crazy corporate or startup deadlines. All open source.

I guess what I'm asking -- Is simple username and password enough?

Is just a "user" level and an "admin" level enough? I guess this is perhaps a bit app specific.

Is authenticating against RADIUS, or AD a must? Okta? How about Google Apps? I don't think GitHub is important in my case. Whats come to be a given here?

Docker as a package manager somewhat matches my use, and I think it does its job well. As the packager, I can just create one "package" that any Linux distribution running Docker can install, instead of creating packages for multiple versions of many different distributions.

I have failed to adopt it as well, and am still using Vagrant, but as my desktop is Linux, vagrant is a little bit of overkill.

The primary stopper for me is run vs start I think - and persistence of the most recent change I made in an environment.

Sorry, no answer from me.. But recently my wife was wondering what kind of money I could make in the UK..

15 years experience, currently focused on C, Java, Python and increasingly Go.

It's true. I develop such software commercially. Sure we have some govt. users, but the majority is the enterprise.

Full packet capture for how much disk space you want to allocate to it (many like 48 hours) then longer term storage of flow records, DNS and http metadata, etc.

The majority of the use cases are watching the internal uses of the network as well - not generally being used to detect intruders.

I've hit this a few times in Python and it bugged me like crazy. But then I grew up and dealt with it.
