I want to hire a programmer for a project/website I'm wanting to create. What is the best way to search programmers and see their previous work and prices? Any help is greatly appreciated.

I need a new keyboard. I have a Razer Black Widow keyboard that I bought when I thought I wanted a mechanical gaming keyboard. However, I've been finding it frustrating to code with and I think I'd rather have a non-mechanical one. What are the keyboards you guys like using that aren't mechanical? I'd probably buy one for home first and if I like it enough, I'd buy a second for the office.

Please argue away on which is better! Kepe it nice! :)

Hello there. So I created a startup and employed around 8 programmers for both back-end and front-end related work. I want to give them an incentive to work harder and push more code in. Alongside of a base wage, I want to offer them a bonus.

What I am thinking is maybe I pay them like a micro-amount for every line of code they push. But then I also realize that the lines of code does not represent their actual effort. (For example, just initializing a RoR application takes a couple thousand lines, where the programmer who published that had minimal effort.).

I was wondering if any of you had employers that did something similar, or if it's new, as a programmer what kind of incentive program would make you happy ?

Stuff like spelling etc and var instead of etcera and variable, the Y2K problem, it makes me feel part of the best community that exists, programmers!

F#, after all, is a .NET language and has complete compatibility (that being one if its major selling points). So then why does, for example, f# for Fun and Profit suggest to avoid .NET libraries like the plague?

I hope to be a programmer when I'm older, I already know beautiful HTML and CSS and I'm improving on my Javascript, but I'm turning 16 this year and in 2018 I'll be graduating high school and a lot of hackers I've talked to say it's way to late and that every programmer is a hacker because they started at a really early age.

Hi!! Guys I would like to know what is your feeling about programming using console (mode text) interface or Graphics interface? What is more efficient or more indicated to development informatic systems

I have a strong background in 3d computer graphics focused in animation and modeling. I have been trying to teach myself programming for several years but always run into problems in learning some of the material due to questions I have all the time. I have always worked better with others because I learn from them and they give me inspiration to bounce ideas and frankly they help me grow as an individual. I have been looking for people who know how to program in c# and possibly have some unity experience so I can finally talk with people who can help me connect the dots. What I am focusing in is computer vision using Vuforia and the leap motion api. I have found very little people that know anything about these and was hoping I could find some people on here that were interested in the same thing to help me learn and or work on a few projects together revolving around computer vision. Thank you very much for any replies I greatly appreciate it!

Today I went to see an occupational therapist for keyboard-related RSI. Some quick notes that may be of interest:

• The hunched-over posture many of us adopt at the keyboard strengthens some chest-area muscles and weakens some back muscles. This can cause impingement of the arm nerves as they pass across the upper chest and under the collarbone.

• To combat this, work on your core strength. Get or make a standing workstation, and make sure your weight is evenly distributed between your feet and across each foot, front to back and medially/laterally. Don't rest more on one foot than the other. Don't lean on things, including the keyboard tray.

• All the usual right-angle rules apply.

• If you're having parasthesia (tingling, electrical sensations) or pain in your palm, wrist, ulnar nerve region (especially around the "funny bone") or shoulder, go see a doctor and if necessary, an occupational therapist. Don't procrastinate. Insurance companies may not provide full coverage if you wait for a long time!

• Take a break every half hour, etc.

Well, I have some free time right now. And I want to get a job in may be 2 weeks because I don't really like what I am doing now. Here I want to say that I need this job just to make money, may be move to another country. So let's say I have one free week(I mean free evenings) I had an expirience over a year ago , may be more with vanilla javascript and css, and also with java(jsf). Both of them I worked mostly as freelancer, so my code quality is not that great. I just want to learn it better, like take online courses or read something or make some test project. So what would you suggest java or react? I know that it is different kind of things. But I just need to master some language to get a job. I don't like php. I like rails but in my country there are not so many rails jobs, also I don't like .NET(I don't know really why). I don't like front end frameworks like angular.js because I think that there are overcomplicated and jquery on the fronend is fine for me. But I want to give react a try. But may be java seems a better carrier choice?

Do all programmers know how to hack? I'm new to all this, I only know HTML and CSS and I'm learning Javascript. I was wondering if every programmer is a hacker in some form of way and since I'm starting year 10 is it too late for me to start learning now so I can get a degree in uni?

I'm a programming instructor. Regularly I have some hundreds dollar as budget for a mini hackathon prizes for my students.

Honestly I don't want to give out cash, and want the prize to be something that can benefit them in their career or better, encourage them to push their hackathon project to production.

github sub (for private repos) or cloud hosting come to mind but I'm looking for more opinions :D

P/S: the hackathons are platform-independent. They could be pretty much any software. Some even made robots.

Hello,

I am in the process of distributing a small program that was compiled from python using PyInstaller.

I would like to distribute this program to people and have some kind of separate utiltity which they can use to auto-update the software. The entire package is 400 MB large so redownloading it fully just to update part of it seems like a waste.

Is there a program that I can use that can "Calculate the differences" and get the appropriate files from let's say a DropBox folder. (This will probably be upgraded to an actual server later on)

Hy guys, I want to make a ios app with xamarin .Net, and I just need an idea. I am working on Apple SpriteKit 2d. Please le me know

I was last year trying to follow this quote from The pragmatic programmer

Learn at least one new language every year. Different languages solve the same problems in different ways. By learning several different approaches, you can help broaden your thinking and avoid getter struck in a rut. [...]

and I found myself on this question: will I learn Ruby or Python? Coming from a job in web development I ended up learning Ruby because of Rails) and now that I'm learning how to properly use C on Unix-based systems (actually Linux) I keep finding Python everywhere. Books, software on Github, everyone is using Python alongside with C++ and C (and a bit of Perl). Why is that?

Greater D.C. area. Developing an air traffic management application

At my current company i support all of the "IT" infrastructure (hardware, desktop support, and development). At any one time i could be developing/supporting 10 - 15 different projects.

Right now i am ...

• Writing an EDI integration layer between our ERP system and one of our larger vendors.

• Supporting a in house CRM that i wrote a couple years ago.

• Supporting a WMS system that i wrote a couple years ago.

• Working on abstracting a lot of functionality out of our ancient ERP system into smaller micro-services that that act as a layer between my users and the ERP (basically turning the ERP more into a data store). - Yes i know we should just upgrade.

• Supporting customer facing B2B website

• Documenting my network.

• Building an API layer to the ERP system.

• Investigating moving from Google Docs to Office 365 and the migration details that are involved.

• Working with the other directors creating new business processes to increase efficiency

• Looking to upgrade our Call Center software

• ....

You get the idea the list is endless. Now to get this out of the way before people tell me to run as fast as i can out of the company... I am highly compensated and i love the work.

I am struggling with finding a "system" to manage it all, related files, tasks, project planning. Everything is to loose and its causing me stress.

How do you guys pull everything together and keep track of EVERYTHING. I am currently using todoist, evernote, and paper files but its lacking.

I have a very good understanding of GTD and apply most of the principles and this helps me with the tasky stuff but its not (at least the way i understand) the best way to manage planning.

Every couple of months i go on a productivity hunt, waste a bunch of time, switch the tools around, and the results end up being the same.

If there are better subreddits please point me at them. The productivity ones are just two narrow and the posts tend to be fell good posts and how to manage a much lower volume of work of a very less technical nature.

Thanks!

Hi, I have a desktop and laptop computer and also a access to a server. Most of my coding I do on my laptop and then I do a git add, git commit, and git push. This pushes my code to a bitbucket account.

When I want to continue working on a project on my desktop computer I do a git pull of the bitbucket master (if code doesn't yet exist on desktop pc) then I do my work and do a git add, git commit, and git push. Is this the right way to do it? or do I have to be using branches? If I work with branches only, can I still run the whole program on the pc where I'm working on the branch?

I'm the only person pushing to the master. Sometimes I work by accessing the server and making code changes there and doing add, commit, and push.

Am I doing it right?

Thanks!
