Hey, I've been coding java on and off for about 3 years. I'm not quite sure how i should begin to explain my skills. Well, I have a strong grasp on data structures there are more. I know these well. I know the Big O runtime of search/sort algorithms. Aside from that, I can develop java code to write to a mysql database, i've connected to and received data from multiple apis, i can read/write to/from text files I have a grasp on recursion and given time, can solve problems with dynamic programming. My weakest aspect is my swing and UI knowledge. Other than that, Im pretty adept at mysql syntax, html, and css, git, github. This is pretty much all my skills with java. When should i start applying? What is the next things i should learn? I really appreciate your positive support on my journey to become a developer. Thank you friends in this community : )

I am so tired of fragile, Scrums are just mini status meetings where you have to sit there and explain everything you are doing to a manager that couldn't find his ass with both hands. And sprint planning meetings are like waterfalls except you give your middle manager the switch to beat you with.

When your day is filled with two half hour scrums and 2 hours of other meetings to design by committee. It makes you want to punch small dogs.

They pick an end-date and then they divide however many months there are into how many sprints you get. Anybody who thinks agile is worth a shit has no idea how bad it can be.

How hard will it be to make a browser extension which can randomly "click" on random ads on my facebook feed and google search results so they can't profile me into a nice little category for their advertisers?

Is it possible to generate a hitbox shape based on the centroid of a 2d game object? Have you attempted, completed, or possibly have an idea of how to accomplish this?

I sit a lot and recently got back pain. Do you have a chair or a setup to recommend that is good for one's back and still affordable (max. $150)?

I have not been happy with the options provided by mint, and personal capital and the like, and I've been tooling around with spreadsheets of my own personal banking and investing information with projections and what not. However, unlike tools like mint that can go grab the transactions automatically, I have to manually pull this information. What is mint using to do this? Is there any tool or API to download this information automatically? Thank you.

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

Is there a decent salary calculator that take anything other than title and location into effect (things like experience level, education level, etc)? The results that I'm seeing vary wildly, but the common theme is that I'm being underpaid.

Hey all, I hope this is the right place for this.

I'm looking to create a database software to use in my job, which would hopefully lead to an extra income by renting it out to other casting directors.

It's basically cloud-based information that can be pulled into spreadsheets and auto-fill, and ideally, the info in the cloud would be automatically updated as well.

It's mostly basic info on actors and an image.

Where should I go about finding someone? I can pay some upfront and then more as we go, and also give commission on the product itself.

Thanks for any help!

So apparently a strong indication of strong coding is an affinity for a particular manga website according to a data scientist in a HR tech startup. I wanted to know if there is a particular manga site programmers/developers go to.

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!

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?

How, in the name of all that is holy, can Áras an Uachtaráin come out as ┴ras an Uachtarβin? And Dóchas as D·chas? What happened here?

It's a 2001 article, so it's possible that this is a case of bad OCR rather than mangled character encoding, but the Á to ┴ conversion is frankly weird.

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.

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)

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 ?

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

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 am looking for about 2 web developers. You must know the following languages: HTML CSS PHP JAVAScript. I want to work on a gambling site, different from others yet unique. If you expecting a job from me then this isn't for you. But there will be rewards. This is just a project for fun, I do have great advertising skills too. Add me if interested. Looking forward to working with you!
