peteypao··on Ask HN: Self-taught webdev with lots of free time. What should I learn?
Security. It's an in demand field right now, and I just don't see how it will become irrelevant in any time in the future.

React, Angular, etc will all be passe in a few years. Don't base your career on fleeting technologies.

Go with the first one.

peteypao··on Brief thoughts on getting hired as a senior coder
> I sent over some horrible code in a language I can barely write that I was really proud of and explained why.

Why would you ever do that? The whole point of sending over code is so that they assess whether you can write understandable code. I don't know what you have to benefit from this.

> I sent over some different code, it was a 5 line code change that halved the average response time of an API. But I also said you know, I’m not interested in auditioning for you. Either we’re a good match or we’re not, but I’m not particularly interested in being “grateful for the opportunity to apply”, frankly I think you should be grateful that I took a few hours out of my day to explore whether we want to build something together…

Why would you even? Just why?

peteypao··on Ask HN: What is your favorite place to find work?
Hired.com. Love the fact that employers are applying to you. Love the fact that they're mostly open about their compensation from the get go. And the extra $2K bonus from Hired doesn't hurt either.
peteypao··on Ask HN: What is your ideal career?
Why don't you get those letters?
peteypao··on Ask HN: Should I hire someone to do a code review?

peteypao··on Ask HN: Java 8 or Scala?
What would you recommend instead?
peteypao··on How do you work on professional development?
Sorry, but that's the nature of the tech field. If you're not willing to keep up, find a company that doesn't require you to (government, larger companies) or find another industry.
