Knock off the childish fucking gatekeeping and go back to reddit. It’s what the wider industry uses.

python is usually the next step up in admin land

python is a pretty standard install on linux systems since so many things like you’re talking about use it

You missed one:

• To let others at least have some insight into what you’re doing so you can take a freakin’ vacation every once in a while

Technical videos have helped me perfect my pronunciation of “umm” and “uhh.”

throw yourself to the wolves

From a historical standpoint, there is also the bad blood of ActiveX, Flash, Silverlight and early Java applets that still leaves a bad taste in people’s mouths. It has a slightly steeper uphill battle to fight.

Generally the most supported language on the tool/platform you want to target is the best one. Like SQL on databases, JS/ES in browsers, python in data science related stuff, etc. If multiple are heavily supported then just pick the one that’s the most comfortable.

I can think of surgeon examples but I’ve never heard of Recruiters Without Borders. Unless it’s just CapGemini

Fintech is easy to deal with in this regard.

“do you have code samples you can share?”

“would you be happy if an employee interviewed elsewhere and used your codebase for work samples?”

It’s likely not the full story, but there were some crazy export restrictions in the 90s. Apple made a commercial poking at it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XjkoYlpf3EA

BBSs had fidonet in 1993, if email, usenet and irc don’t count

They use Atlanta Metro, AWS and GCP as far as I know. I want to say they own the Oregon DC but can’t remember.

Often, it boils down to one common problem: Too much client-side JavaScript. This is not a cost-free error. One retailer realized they were losing $700,000 a year per kilobyte of JavaScript, Russell said.

“You may be losing all of the users who don’t have those devices because the experience is so bad,” he said.

They just didn’t link to the one retailer’s context. But it’s “bring back old reddit” energy directed at everything SPA-ish.

edit to give it a little personal context: I was stuck on geosat internet for a little while and could not use amazon’s site across the connection. I’m not sure if they’re the retailer mentioned. But the only way I could make it usable was to apply the ublock rule *.images-amazon.com/*.js^ described here.

What really stunk about it was that if you’re somewhere where geosat is/was the only option, then you’re highly dependent on online retail. And knowing how to manage ublock rules is not exactly widespread knowledge.

I found for myself that part of the journey in career advancement was looking at code, thinking “wow this really sucks! how could they be so stupid to do this!” and then realize that I wrote it a year or two prior.

Humbleness comes. I’ve since adopted it as a metric to determine if someone is really a senior or lead or level 60 paladin or whatever.

I haven’t messed with it much, but they do offer a high-level diff list about midway down the home page: https://www.infernojs.org/

It’s on my radar and I’m sure it’s on a number of other people’s as well. It just takes a little onboarding time like all good projects.

Worth noting: the ui is in inferno js
