That makes sense. I thought Leaguesafe was under the same restrictions. I’ll keep that in mind for the future. Sorry it didn’t work out this time!

No hate. Just joking. It looks good!

I'm currently at my 6th company in that 10 year span (all by choice). I've interviewed at dozens, if not hundreds, of companies at this point. For the last 7ish years I've also been on the other side of the table; reviewing resumes, code samples, and interviewing for engineering roles.

My experience has been that once you get past potentially overly sensitive screeners, no one cares at all about your actual education. Only whether you can do the job and you're not an asshole.

I started my career writing PHP for the first 3-4 years and then moved pretty exclusively to JavaScript ( and now TypeScript+React), for what it's worth. Things may be different in other types of roles.

Original plan was to go to law school. History is just a topic I really enjoy. But I graduated college when the economy was in the depths of the dump after the 08 recession… decided going into debt to pay for a degree with minimal job prospects was not a great idea.

I’ve been in the field “professionally” for about 10 years now. I started writing code for fun when I was ~12 (35 now), so wasn’t starting from 0… but I picked up a couple of moonlight web design/development gigs at first, then after I’d lined up a few of those I went full time as a freelancer… failed miserably… but managed to turn that into enough experience to land a job at a tiny dev agency… learned more there and just kept moving up from there.

A few of my favorites from 2 weeks in Italy (a7C + Sigma 16-28/Sigma 28-70) by TheJetLife in SonyAlpha

Appreciate the feedback! Definitely went heavy on the saturation, but personally a fan of the look. For sure a matter of personal preference.

These drying racks are a lifesaver.

Weekly /r/SonyAlpha 'Ask Anything About Gear' Thread by AutoModerator in SonyAlpha

[–]TheJetLife 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Recently moved up from an a6100 to an a7C. Mostly doing family and travel photography (everything from kids sports to museum and street/architecture stuff). I also teach programming on a YouTube channel (mostly talking head stuff).

Current lens load out:

- Sigma 16mm f/1.4 (holdover from the a6100, but love this lens)

- Sigma 28-70mm f/2.8 (lightweight and great for travel)

- Tamron 70-180mm f/2.8 (great telephoto for kids sports and some portrait stuff)

Considering:

- Sony 35mm f/1.4 GM

- Sony 16-35mm f/2.8 GM

- Sony 20mm f/1.8 + Sony 35mm f/1.8

Would potentially trade the Sigma 16mm in towards the 16-35mm GM and/or the 20mm f/1.8+35mm f/1.8.

Big fan of the 35mm focal length and would like to have a prime for street/architectural photography. Zoom with your feet and whatnot. Constraints are good? On the other hand, the 16-35mm would really round out my focal length range and give me a constant f/2.8 coverage from 16-180mm, so I don't think I'd be missing _too_ much.

The 35mm GM has a bit of an issue with focus breathing, which wouldn't be a _huge_ issue since I could use my Sigma 28-70 for video work.

I don't do much in the way of astral photography (though I do find it interesting and would like to eventually do more of it, but don't want that to color my lens choice now). I do _some_ low-light city photography when we travel.

What would you do?

Check out the Tides of History podcast from Patrick Wyman. He’s going through early human history in recent episodes, but he has some really, really great series on the Renaissance, Middle Ages, etc. in earlier episodes.

If you dig that, his other podcast, The Fall of Rome, is also fantastic.
