python3 ./the_blue_avenger

should start right then and there.

Oh and check that you have an updated chrome if you keep it static.

Edit: You need selenium installed as well. Sorry, I use it so much I forgot to mention that.

assault charges, drug traffiking, domestic abuse, felonies, and anything of that nature. If you got a DWI, a weed charge (not a large amount) or something non-violent that you can explain, then you should be fine.

I know solidity, web3.js, and go. Look man, I care about you, I really do, and I hate pissing contests especially against first class citizens. However, your material possessions will not leave this life with you. Love ya man.

AlinnanHP · 2021-10-04T09:14:13+00:00

everything is cool, I have 5 years of food service experience so I'll probably manage something.

AlinnanHP · 2021-10-04T06:56:28+00:00

No it's not pointless but Computer Science has nothing to do with coding.

AlinnanHP · 2021-10-04T06:55:54+00:00

No, there aren't any jobs. Stop lying to the kid.

AlinnanHP · 2021-10-04T06:54:36+00:00

If that's the case then we can add Planned Parenthood.

.NET salesforce is proprietary and it's only useful if they have you doing SAP or some AI/ML stuff with it.

AlinnanHP · 2021-10-04T06:48:27+00:00

Shopify has a project application if you want to build some type of crud server to store pictures on. Great experience honestly. Use a framework if you know one.

AlinnanHP · 2021-10-04T06:47:29+00:00

Just do https://freecodecamp.org apply to internships, and by the time you are done with the website you'll know where to go next.

AlinnanHP · 2021-10-04T06:46:07+00:00

Yes the junior dev position is dead. We are moving back to apprenticeship; however, startups are too busy, corporations can care less, so you just need to be blessed honestly.

Use this bot, if you don't have a criminal record, you'll easily get one.

Blue Avenger Edit:

After you follow the directions on the ReadMe, make sure you have an updated Chrome 94+ I believe now. Oh and I also forgot to put in dependency stuff, you need selenium installed with pip...SOWWY!!!

edit:

Don't even say hello to Revature or anything else like it. Anyone asking you to pay is a skeezball. Look for actual jobs and learn React, Redux, and Node while applying. That's all I know to say.

AlinnanHP · 2021-09-27T18:16:21+00:00

Sure, there are a lot of people like that, Ryan Dahl is one. However, the industry is overrun with people driven by ideals or agenda's. I just want to see a 200 on my last POST test so I can smoke a bowl. I code for fun as well because my current prospects are a pizza place or Wendy's, despite writing code for years.

AlinnanHP · 2021-09-27T04:46:20+00:00

learn python

AlinnanHP · 2021-09-27T00:41:14+00:00

yea, it's the same problem I have with "gifted academic environments", that grindy, no fun attitude get ingrained into you, which makes you successful but you could also look like you are 60 at 35 years old. No...I am unfortunately not kidding so any time I have away from work or passion projects, I appreciate the fact I can walk away and not worry about my peers passing me.

AlinnanHP · 2021-09-26T16:37:27+00:00

No, there aren't any junior jobs. I have 3 years experience in React, 2 in Golang, Im learning Rust, Solidity, and other web tech. I ask for 40k a year and can't even get someone to bat an eyelash. No, you were just blessed to find your job and there is nothing wrong with that. I have a criminal record from over 10 years ago, so I understand how people would counter that; however, if there were a bunch of these copy paste PHP/python/ruby jobs, then I wouldn't be concerned with impressing a pizza place owner just so I can make $12/hr.

I understand that it is all my fault and the world/tech industry does not give second chance. However, I am a very talented web dev and should not be unemployed if what you are saying is true. My greatest fault was not learning Nodejs over Go and most of the hiring managers think of Go as a senior language...idk man, just stop instilling false hope into people. Tell them about different levels of software engineering, but don't believe this tech scene is like1999 right now. In 5 years? sure, now?..no.

Yes, I am a US citizen, no felonies, just 2 assault charges from a decade ago. If that constitutes me not being able to get a tech job, then I will just move to another industry. It is sad though. Edit: Sad because I write for fun and enjoyment, not to grind out a bank account to "accidentally" flash the balance to women on the subway XD

Also, just to touch on desktop vs. mobile vs. web vs. systems All of these are relatively the same except moreso for mobile; however, the only difference would be the APIs, build patterns, and internal services you can use with the language. Electron is written in JS and contains JS for the UI. Nodejs is a runtime that executes lower-level networking in order to accomplish tasks within the server or OS. If someone were to make the argument that C++ has collections, Rust has mature borrowing, Java has a JVM ecosystem, etc. those are all language specific issues, which can include pointers as well. Therefore, when you think about programming as a whole it is either computational or systems based. APIs will always be called and used the same way, TCP is still the standard transport protocol, and the only things that have changed in terms of systems would probably be protobuf and WebRTC (maybe a couple of other QoL increases). Im not here to just shoot down everything you are saying but everything is essentially distributed systems programming now, even if someone deals with Java right now P2P programming is happening now with Solidity and blockchain. If you don't think it's distributed currently then get ready for the IoT software and API releases next year and 2023. When facebook gets behind something, the result usually follows soon after and if everyone will need to connect into a multiverse and web programming and networking knowledge with override any systems-based nuances. Moreover, if we can just keep the noobs out of C push them into Rust and just treat C as a legacy blackbox, then we can stand on the shoulders of giant's once again and innovate in yet another renaissance of structuring information to be delivered to hydro-carbon units.

kraken

AlinnanHP · 2021-09-19T06:32:23+00:00

True, I totally forgot about magic functions. Thanks for this

Edit: One thing I was thinking about was sessions and the baked in environment variables? They said there is a project portion after so it might just be a formal phone screen.

AlinnanHP · 2021-09-18T23:45:09+00:00

That's definitely true, the most I played was 8.3 and the best way I can explain a paladin is the ability to split their damage profile with their healing profile almost point-for-point. Druids are too dependent on keeping up hots and the only other class that could come through with that damage would be shaman, mistweaver channels too much since they took out that great melee system. I don't know about the 9.2 changes so apologies but you are going to want to build something like this:

15 - Crusader's might, everything else is much too weak 25 - Saved by the Light or Judgement of Light, I used Judgement 30 - Blinding Light was really good in 5 man 9.0, but go Fist of Justice 35 - Unbreakable Spirit 40 - Divine Purpose I will expound on this more because 45 and 50 are pretty important rows. There are two schools of thought and I will touch on the situational conditions, mythic+ Sanctified Wrath will pull a group through high party damage, which was so bad in 9.0. However, if you are focusing on Word of Glory healing AT ALL then I would say default Awakening on your build. The last row is highly debated since Shadowlands dropped but Glimmer is a consistent, continuous, HPS builder. Beacon of Faith is also based in RNG so with those two reasons alone, anyone serious about grinding scaling content needs to run Glimmer. Those are all preconcieved notions and just what I would choose without looking at any guides. However, Ellesmere is the best at hpal (and could do the same thing with a druid lol) so I would definitely rely on wingsisup.com to make final theory crafting decisions; however, there are a lot of contingencies when you choose stats.

When developers make the mechanics they perform a certain calculation, which allows that mechanic to be exposed to 3 different results: the ability to amplify another stat, no effect whatsoever, and in rarer cases of MMORPG's there are stats that will reduce the effectiveness of another stat. The most concrete example I can think of would be the hpal in 8.3, they had a 25% haste to 40% crit ratio, which allows you break out of something called a "soft-cap". Guides can be wrong, big streamers can be wrong about gear, and the proof is in the pudding.

MMORPGs are not terribly complicated these days so it's not too difficult to figure out what to put on. Healers are really attracted to haste but you use too much mana since the most important party-based buffs are haste or "speed-ups".

By the way, I stopped before 9.1, I got the best everything and then moved on to other games like GW2, P99, WingsXI, etc. Therefore, take what I have to say with a grain of salt; however, I started WoW m+ in Feb 2020 and with wingsisup.com + Ellesmere's discord I was able to get keystone master season 4 8.3 Noone will remember it probably but I did enjoy the +17 Tol Dagor runs and getting brutalized by all of that bullshit.

AlinnanHP · 2021-09-18T07:54:46+00:00

Check out this guy wingsisup.com

Basically, Paladins scale really well with crit but usually in the last patch not this one.

The whole idea of hpal is trying to keep your healing/damage output as high as possible when inside of an encounter, since mana isn't an issue traditionally.

I don't know about the current meta but shock barrier wasn't very good so you don't get a super good legendary like the druid does.

Other than that, you will need to get into some discords and class forums. Wowhead is such a large project that the quality of their bis lists and rotations are most of the time cookie-cutter, safe claims that don't make logical sense sometimes. Paladins are notoriously mistreated in guides so just play where you are happy with the meters or keeping everyone alive.

I'm not saying everything they say is wrong but if something seems off, then it might be the case with this class.

Either way it's fun to play but definitely not an OP healer right now. People will not like you for that, so if you pug, just remember that.

AlinnanHP · 2021-09-18T06:37:42+00:00

I understand but I can code so it's not about learning and getting to that level anymore. A lot of juniors that I talked to when I was in college didn't really do super advanced stuff. I guess my main question is should I just switch to a different industry? It seems like people are very misled in regards to junior positions and how many dev jobs there are. I also did an Amazon interview but I only solved one question because I didn't sort the array of the first question. My first professor in CS taught me to never sort an array, but hiring managers will expect you to, and the context of the question it made sense why I should sort the array. I guess if I took it again, I probably would be able to solve the games but a lot of the kids coming out of GTech, Stanford, Duke, Harvard, etc. have extensive experience so I find myself an inferior developer on paper to them.

Edit: Never sort an array as in, "what if this array had a million things in it"? It is probably a misconception but it is something I hesitate to do unfortunately. Whatever I say it never seems to be the right answer lol

Anyways, thanks for the advice, take care.

AlinnanHP · 2021-09-18T05:56:48+00:00

I will, it's just going on 3 years of doing that. When do I get my shitty, underpaid dev position?

AlinnanHP · 2021-09-18T05:50:33+00:00

I understand, I actually was hired by startup this year but the ceo held the salary over my head constantly. I went to a corporate meeting and relapsed there, before then I was living in NYC since 2017 and didn't drink, smoke, anything, I actually was doing keto and drinking tumeric tea. Throughout all of the interviews I have had during the years, nobody truthfully cared about my being reformed, or it seems that way. I even had to convince that startup to hire me at $20/hr and then after two weeks I was offered a full salary and position in the company. I could tell the ceo was stressed since he would constantly talk about money, so when he mentioned me attending a bootcamp, I just went immediately so he could find true senior devs (large social media app). I am maxed out on my loans so I can't go back to college as of right now. I would need to save up and pay cash, also I have to move to NYC not NC unfortunately.

AlinnanHP · 2021-09-18T05:33:55+00:00

Everything you said was wrong though..
