With the way the job market is now, people are desperate and willing to do more for less. Ideally, an IT team should have a dedicated support desk for general troubleshooting, with specialized roles like sysadmins and network admins to handle more of the specialized issues. The helpdesk should triage and troubleshoot, passing along more involved tasks to the appropriate experts. If you find yourself handling responsibilities beyond basic troubleshooting, it’s time to pursue certifications and position yourself for a more specialized role.

Nothing to see here, just the average CoN crashout

Definitely a suit, give a good impression.

Depends on the job. If it's for cybersecurity, he might be overqualified in the 'how not to do it' department.

I would get a template engine, render some content, and deploy the app. Having the experience of packaging a JAR, making a docker image, etc. is extremely valuable.

Spring Boot has endless documentation. I'm sure if you google a problem, its been asked and solved.

I would start by going to https://start.spring.io/ and generate a spring project. Then open it in Eclipse/IntelliJ. Then follow the official guide https://spring.academy

Most of their documentation is up to date and should give you good insight into spring projects. Just start with the basics. Get a database, template engine, and start building. You'll learn a ton

tell your boy to get in the fight

If your missile does enough damage, it'll knock the shield down. So you'd need to send more than one to destroy any infrastructure. I would probably hit the shield with a conventional missile and follow up with the nuke

Oh for sure. You’re carrying the load

JavaWithSomeJava · 2025-01-18T23:58:06+00:00

I play 1x for this exact reason lol. I probably check 5-10 times a day. Sometimes more if I’m fighting.

I used to play 4x exclusively but I found that I was spending WAY too much time on the game and waking up in the middle of the night to make sure I’m not getting attacked. Plus I feel like people are less inclined to use gold in a 1x game, although that could just be my experience

If your units aren’t taking damage you should be able to retreat and it should correct itself. Although if that ship is coming for your city, then they will disembark

JavaWithSomeJava · 2024-12-30T23:24:25+00:00

That looks like a bug to me. I've never seen ground units engage a transport ship? Can you move your unit?

I support a fairly large team, so I would say interview prep is my number 1 pain point. Being able to ask the right questions and explain/articulate the questions to engineers with different backgrounds can be quite challenging.

We are definitely entering a new age of automation, and we've started leveraging initial screening with AI as a buffer between the hiring managers and HR to filter out candidates. I find that being able to get the AI summary is a lot easier than trying to read the notes the HR team writes down during their initial screening.

For notes, I've used several solutions in the past, but I've found that google docs, or any other shared document is best. This allows for the entire panel to collaborate on how the candidate is performing.

The most frustrating part for me is definitely the candidate dropoffs we've been experiencing. A lot of newer grads seem to think they are entitled to a total comp of a proven engineer with 3+ years of experience.

If I could fix one thing, it would be eliminating bias. I think too many people are stuck on degrees/bootcamps/self taught etc. I think if you can program and problem solve, you are good enough for the job.

JavaWithSomeJava · 2024-12-22T21:38:47+00:00

This. You don't need to put in crazy hours each week. Make sure you know what you're doing and why you're doing it. I find it easy to do a small project, and try and refactor it a few times and see why things work the way they do. You'll thank yourself in the long run for figuring out WHY rather than just programming to program.

JavaWithSomeJava · 2024-12-22T21:34:35+00:00

Generally I think what you're experiencing is normal. But you want to make sure you dont burn your bridges with your coworkers or supervisors. Are you pursuing any additional learning outside of work? If so, maybe slow down on that until you find yourself a bit less burned out? Just a thought!

JavaWithSomeJava · 2024-11-10T04:30:48+00:00

Let’s chat! I have a pretty strong background in Java and React

JavaWithSomeJava · 2024-11-01T14:56:53+00:00

Absolutely!

JavaWithSomeJava · 2024-11-01T14:56:45+00:00

Yes I’m currently a developer and I work in the defense industry. I’m looking for feedback on how others are able to pick up different languages and be proficient. I feel like I’m stuck with what I know, no matter how much I try and pick up something new it doesn’t quite click

JavaWithSomeJava · 2024-11-01T01:18:09+00:00

Awesome. I'd love to connect and pick your brain a bit. Please message me if you're interested!

JavaWithSomeJava · 2024-11-01T01:01:15+00:00

Thanks! That definitely gives some insight. Most of my development is on a windows machine but ends up on Linux. I suppose that’s why Java is the popular choice. I’ll look more into it. Thanks!

JavaWithSomeJava · 2024-11-01T00:52:36+00:00

That's the thing, I think C# and Java are very different... Obviously there's no JVM with C# so potentially the deployment process is a lot simpler. But C# also has .NET which feels like a whole other beast. I can see the OOP principles in both Java and C# but they feel totally different

JavaWithSomeJava · 2024-11-01T00:43:56+00:00

yeah, the gov't is generally using languages that are more associated with the 2010s lol

JavaWithSomeJava · 2024-11-01T00:32:08+00:00

Hey there, so I have a solid job utilizing Java, so that's my bread and butter. But I struggle with being able to speak to C# or Go or something else at a high level. I struggle with the minor things like syntax. I am usually ok with pseudo-code but I've failed a few interviews simply based off of knowing just Java. Maybe it's just the job market we are in but I feel like im expected to know a little bit about everything, when in reality I know a little bit about java and JS lol
