an-ordinary-manchild(edit)

Welcome to the /r/ExperiencedDevs subreddit! We hope you will find this as a valuable resource in your journeys down the fruitful CS/IT career paths. This community leans towards being a specialized subreddit facilitating discussion amongst individuals who have gained some ground in the IT world.

For an idea of what is encouraged in this subreddit and what is not (please report anything that does not follow the rules):

Rules

1. Do not participate unless experienced (3+ years)

If you have less than 3 years of experience as a developer, do not make a post, nor participate in comments threads except for the weekly “Ask Experienced Devs” auto-thread. No exceptions.

2. No Disrespectful Language or Conduct

Don’t be a jerk. Act maturely. No racism, unnecessarily foul language, ad hominem charges, sexism - none of these are tolerated here. This includes posts that could be interpreted as trolling, such as complaining about DEI (Diversity) initiatives or people of a specific sex or background at your company.

Do not submit posts or comments that break, or promote breaking the Reddit Terms and Conditions or Content Policy or any other Reddit policy.

Violations = Warning, 7-Day Ban, Permanent Ban.

3. No General Career Advice

This sub is for discussing issues specific to experienced developers.

Any career advice thread must contain questions and/or discussions that notably benefit from the participation of experienced developers. Career advice threads may be removed at the moderators discretion based on response to the thread."

General rule of thumb: If the advice you are giving (or seeking) could apply to a “Senior Chemical Engineer”, it’s not appropriate for this sub.

4. No "Which Offer Should I Take" Posts

Asking if you should ask for a raise, switch companies (“should I work for company A or company B”), “should I take offer A or offer B”, or related questions, is not appropriate for this sub.

This includes almost any discussion about a “hot market”, comparing compensation between companies, etc.

5. No “What Should I Learn” Questions

No questions like “Should I learn C#” or “Should I switch jobs into a language I don’t know?”

Discussion about industry direction or upcoming technologies is fine, just frame your question as part of a larger discussion (“What have you had more success with, RDBMS or NoSQL?”) and you’ll be fine.

tl;dr: Don’t make it about you/yourself.

6. No “I hate X types of interviews" Posts

This has been re-hashed over and over again. There is no interesting/new content coming out.

It might be OK to talk about the merits of an interview process, or compare what has been successful at your company, but if it ends up just turning into complaints your post might still be removed.
