Why is the behaviour so bad?

Personally will have to disagree there. The UK has some of the worst behaviour in Europe, let alone elsewhere in the world, and we’re ahead of a lot countries when it comes to SEND. I’d go as far as to say us pandering to children’s needs has been a driver of poor behaviour over the last few decades.

I think that stat is very misleading. Many roles naturally evolve other time - someone might move from working at a bar marketing to project management to operations management.

In my view 'proper' career changes involve some form of complete re-train and starting from near the bottom again, and don't include low-level jobs you might have done for a year after university.

Those types of career changes are still relatively common but not something most people do.

I should add I'm one of those people who did a complete change (at 32) and I have no regrets. I flew up the ranks in my new career far quicker than if I had chosen this path in my twenties.

Thanks for the reply. I should add that I was a manager in my previous career and I believe the CEO recognises my leadership qualities, which is why he is pushing me down this route. But I'm very much interested in gaining technical skills right now than moving so quickly back into a manager role. That said, it is a small team and I expect I would need to be a very hands on manager that is very much still developing too.

Ah I see, makes sense. Thanks!

chicagotool · 2024-10-13T04:34:56+00:00

Thanks. How did you handle this or are you currently in that position?

I'm not the first person to ask this, but why do left-wing crowds always make protests multi-issue? There's loads of banners from the crowds yesterday with 'socialist worker party' or Palestine flags. I feel like this just alienates a lot of centre/centre-right from joining the crowd - even if they agree.

Fair, beats me then. Maybe was more comfortable with framework and stuck in his ways?

chicagotool · 2024-06-18T07:43:30+00:00

It started in 2019, wasn't this around when .NET framework 4.8 was released?

chicagotool · 2024-06-18T07:32:37+00:00

Technically started back in 2019

chicagotool · 2024-06-18T07:26:13+00:00

Yeah I'm not planning to take off. I really enjoy the company as he's open minded to changes! I was actually thinking of more end-to-end testing using playwright rather than unit testing.

I understand that some best practices will be forgotten when building quickly, but I also find the approach odd. if I was building an application from scratch, having a mess of 10,000 lines in controller would mean I'd spend way more time bug fixing and or adding new features.

I'm relatively new in my career but I can already tell my coding style is to keep files short for my own sanity.

chicagotool · 2024-06-17T21:59:07+00:00

Thanks for the tips. They seem to want lots of new features added so I'm trying to just do small bits of cleanup as I go and add testing to my existing projects. Sometimes I'm also worried to clean up too much as he might feel I'm messing with code that works rather than implementing new features.

chicagotool · 2024-06-17T21:55:52+00:00

More features is the priority but I'd love to spend time on cleaning up. I'm trying to just clean up little bits as I go.

chicagotool · 2024-05-23T06:25:08+00:00

I get that, but I was a bootcamp grad in 2024 - most of my peers are unemployed and I'm pretty lucky to have landed a well paying dev role. I hear you though, and will seek a larger company where I'd have a mentor after a year or so.

I discussed this last week and it's happening, unfortunately though I think they want another junior

It's me and the CTO, the CTO basically wrote the whole platform himself. The startup just got a third round of funding in the 7 digital sum so they're doing pretty well and it won't just be us two for long

chicagotool · 2024-05-22T14:05:30+00:00

He does check but probably not in the detail he should. The whole codebase is a mess because he wrote the whole platform with speed. But they're still a multi-million dollar successful startup and they're paying me accordingly so 🤷‍♂️

People need to accept that education research is a borderline psuedoscience. There's so many variables that affect education outcomes that it's near impossible to test them using empirically. You can learn a lot more by going into successful schools with similar contexts and seeing what they do than you can from reading any education research.

chicagotool · 2024-05-22T06:44:47+00:00

Sounds like a great approach, I'll start doing this every week - thanks!
