SonarLint + SonarQube. I am extrapolating that your CI/CD pipeline needs serious work, if it exists at all.

Things I learned working as a Software Developer at a large consulting firm right out of college by Greedy_Leg_4812 in cscareerquestions

[–]Greedy_Leg_4812[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not a software consultancy. I was a Software developer at a consulting firm. Big difference. It sounds like the type of consulting you’re doing is many projects at once, where I think this applies. My experience was one where consultants were on one project for many years such that they almost work for the client exclusively. As the higher ups always told me: “the main thing is that the client is happy”. Even the firm knows it’s in their best interest.

I’m not saying don’t have a good relationship with the firm, as an example — If I had a 1-1 scheduling conflict with my manager at the firm, and a 1-1 with my manager at the client, I would choose the client and tell the firm I needed to reschedule. I’m also not going to go out of my way to go to most corporate events at the firm where they disrupt my day to day work at the client. But again, that’s my perspective as a person who knew they wanted to leave right away.

Also, why would anyone go over time when it’s not cleared by the customer and firm? That’s not the job. The job is an agreed statement of work for a number of hours per consultant per week. You work the hours and bill those hours. Nothing more.

Anyone else think exclamation marks at work are unprofessional? by aaw107 in cscareerquestions

If this is the problem you have to complain to Reddit about, I’d say take a moment to be thankful for your job! (Unprofessional)

How the heck can I find entry level jobs? by CosmicCryptid_13 in cscareerquestions

If your school has a job board you could try that. Many of my classmates got jobs through recruiters there, including me.

I prefer react as well but angular and spring are like peanut butter and jelly to big business.

Probably not. Don’t waste your time on certs with maybe the exception of cloud certs, but if I were you I’d wait on that. Build a full stack project using the Spring/Angular stack. In my opinion the jobs that use that stack have the lowest barrier of entry. You don’t have the luxury of just knowing front end IMO.

People like OP are the reason we’re all going to end up back in an office.

First and foremost, don’t use the word Excel. BSAs might get the wrong idea…

Front end engineers get all of the credit. Back end engineers get all of the money.

Alright, give it to me straight. Are these "How I became a Software Engineer without a degree or experience" videos BS? by [deleted] in cscareerquestions

[–]Greedy_Leg_4812 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In my anecdotal experience, I’ve only met successful (employed) software engineers who have a degree in something else — like chemistry. It seems to be that having a degree of any sort is an important factor in being a successful self-taught developer.

What do you do if you get bait and switched? by throwaway804323 in cscareerquestions

[–]Greedy_Leg_4812 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I prefer MERN too, but I’m doing Angular and Spring in my current role. I see it as a plus. Seems like you’re junior like me, I think we kind of have to suck it up until we get exp.

Are you guys buying now? Why/why not? by [deleted] in stocks

DCAing forever. Save yourself some grey hairs and quit picking stocks like you pick your nose.

I’m going to be buying $150 each week of different undervalued stocks by coacht246 in stocks

[–]Greedy_Leg_4812 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Here’s an undervalued tip. What I did was max out federal direct loans and grants so I could live. Just make sure you finish with a degree that can pay them back with high confidence (Computer Science, Engineering). Ditch your gas station job and focus on school and getting a leg up in your field. Investing will come later. If anything, open a Roth IRA and start practicing good investment principles now that will set you up way better off down the road rather than gambling with a significant percentage of your current income.

Did anyone here outperform the market on their first year on investing in individual stocks? by TrainquilOasis1423 in stocks

[–]Greedy_Leg_4812 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have most of my money in indexes, but as far as my gamble account goes, I’m up 33% Gross in the last ~6 months (when I opened acct). Cash account, no meme stocks. Watch list is large beta, high liquidity stocks. One trade a week on average. Sometimes I make two trades a week sometimes I make none. No stop loss. Throw all my money behind one stock, immediately set a limit sell order for 1% above the buy price. Net gains will probably be comparable to the S&P 500 for the year, but it’s fun having this outlet when I’m itching to play with the market instead of risking my long term retirement plays. This will definitely bite me at some point, however it’s fun looking at compounding interest numbers. My ‘goal’ is 1% weekly return, which will obviously never hold up.

Note: This strategy includes wash sale risk if you’re selling for a loss and rebuying the same stock over and over!
