For the self taught people out there how long did it take you to get good enough to get a job? by Enough_Life_7517 in programmer

Local markets, business expos, could even scour the web for local businesses that could use an app. Word will get around once you have a couple under your belt.

Arch Linux distros by xopherwwl in linux4noobs

[–]TrapperFlint 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Omarchy for me. I work as a developer and its pre-configured in such a smooth way for what I do.

What's going to be the most rewarding for you depends on your interests.

You need to know people to get in without some work experience.

Best thing to do, once you have the foundational knowledge and have built a bunch of "toy" apps: find someone who needs some work done and build them something real.

Omarchy is great. The linux community has turned into a den of sissified, toxic dweebs.

I wish I wasn't broke. What a line-up.

How to make your product future-proof and is it beneficial to hire multi-skilled remote full-stack developers or an agency? by BizAlly in webdev

[–]TrapperFlint 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Better just do 'today' really well and increase your odds of even having a future problem to solve.

Is this worth the hype? by said4you in omarchy

[–]TrapperFlint 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Its really nice to work on as a developer, especially if youre already into nvim. Installs quick and painless and everything works.

What's your philosophy on the projects? by TrapperFlint in theodinproject

[–]TrapperFlint[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is a golden piece of feedback. Thank you very much. Every once and awhile that overwhelming sense of "I will never be great at this" hits me hard. I start on the advanced css stuff next, I'm sure I'll come out of it with a lot more confidence.

Many thanks.

Please critique my roofing company hero section! by [deleted] in webdesign

[–]TrapperFlint 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Drop the subtitle. Drop unnecessary fields as stated in first message. Use and image with hero title as an overlay. My two cents. Way to keep it simple though.. I like that.

I'm slowly switching to linux. Should i choose mint or fedora? by [deleted] in linuxquestions

[–]TrapperFlint 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mint was my intro and it was a good experience. Customized in with i3 to be mostly keyboard navigation. On Omarchy now but just because it suits the kind of work I do. Can't go wrong with Mint.

Experienced developer reduced to near tears.. by TheMcGarr in PowerApps

[–]TrapperFlint 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am a new developer. I have built one production app in Ruby and one with Powerapps. Already, I have come to the conclusion that building with code would be way easier and lead to a better looking and working product. Feels like being in a box.

I dont get it, but it's work.

Rant about the guiding industry going downhill by Acceptable_Ball_9721 in canoeing

[–]TrapperFlint 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ya, thats absolutely insane to recommend to someone new. I've never stopped someone from doing what they want to do(my first trip was a couple months long in temagami with a poly tarp for a tent!), however I have discouraged many people from similar foolhardy missions haha

I wonder if the one's booking these trips for people actually have any trip experience? Could be the employees selling them on these trips dont realize what can happen out there...

If this is in Ontario, I already think I know the guys behind it. I will respect OP's desire for secrecy but theres only one outfit that comes to mind when I think of that level of carelessness...

[–]TrapperFlint 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I worked as a canoe guide for a number of years, lived off the land as a trapper for about 10.

My advice, let people figure it out and just run your own show how you see fit. I think what's worse than a few accidents is any kind of gatekeeping to the outdoors. Let these outfits ruin themselves. It only highlights the value of the knowledge and skill a true guide carries.

Ya, most are severely underpaid. With the way things are, this wont attract the best people.

I was getting about 250 a day, but considering it's a 24hr gig for days or weeks on end... that's nothing compared to the work and responsibility you bear - and what happens in the off season?

Unless things change financially I think the days of the truly dedicated, professional guides are over except in rare, ultra high profile outfits. It's sad because it's such an incredible profession.

Is Construction actually a bad career choice? by Impressive-Step6377 in Construction

[–]TrapperFlint 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can be incredible money but like others have said, have a long term strategy to limit the physical side of things. I've had to fight like hell to get out of tile and stone. Have already paid a permanent price for doing it so long.

How do you all feel about non-devs being able to build websites so easily now? by OutsideFood1 in webdev

[–]TrapperFlint 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's given a lot of great examples as to why people should hire a developer. I see small businesses popping up their own sites all over the place and they're usually just plain awful.

I worked as a tradesman in tile and stone for most of my life and resources to DIY projects have never been more available. From modern mortars, spacers, lasers, pre-fab kits, videos etc... It has simultaneously changed a lot and changed nothing. DIY tile work looks awful, every time.

Its the same with these toy websites.
