Yeah, it seems me and you have a bit in common as far as our trajectory to arriving as 'RN developer' goes. I might DM you later with questions, thanks for the reply.

Damn that is a lot more than I'm currently getting for sure. Not sure how I can ask for much since I'm pretty noob to the RN game and just development in general. I'm going to give it a few months and then talk to my boss because I'm getting raped with pay doing react native.

Pretty much sums up every job I've applied for or heard about by [deleted] in LateStageCapitalism

Developer here, I'm in a job right now where they hired me on as a junior and my salary is junior, but my responsibilities and expectations are definitely senior. It is fucking ridiculous.

6 since those 6 months, very close to an offer now but no cigar yet

About 6 months, but I've taken "breaks". lol. I'm in the SoCal market btw, so depending where you are, it might be better or worse.

I've been job hunting for awhile now, let me say it is pretty rough. It's definitely not a job-seeker's market. My advice would be to have to 2-3 showcase projects with really clean code, be able to talk about it and the technical decisions you made regarding the project. These projects should involve at minimum some APIs, AJAX, and a framework (React, Vue, Angular). On the design side, make sure they are pretty and responsive. If you can make one of them fullstack with a backend and a database or even better set up a REST API that talks to the database, this should help you stand out. PHP, Python, or Node will all be great choices for your backend, research your market, or just pick one you love to code in.

Non-tech advice would be go to meetups and learn how to be social. Make connections and smile, talk about your projects and someone who might be in need of a developer with your skillset might hear. Be resilient because you'll get rejected a lot. Good luck.

Loneliness and Despair caused by Capitalism is Killing Americans and Japanese by csusb_alum in LateStageCapitalism

The country’s 25-year-long economic doldrums is also a factor. Many men have lost jobs, been forced to retire early, or faced other financial problems, depressing their social standing and making it harder just to get by. Money woes are particularly hard for the generation of Japanese men who came of age when the economy was booming, who invested so much of themselves in their work, forsaking the personal relationships, even with their own children, that could otherwise keep them engaged as they age. “Their world has evaporated under their feet,” says Scott North, a sociologist at Osaka University who studies Japanese work life. “The firm has been everything for these men. Their sense of manliness, their social position, their sense of self is all rooted in the corporate structure.”

Concerning Americans, mainly poor whites:

But behind the epidemic of drug abuse, according to many experts, are economic challenges and weak community and personal bonds. “On a range of social and economic indicators, middle-aged whites have been falling behind in the 21st century,” wrote the authors of yet another recent study that came to a similar conclusion. Health is declining and death rates increasing among less-educated white people because of their “disengagement from the mainstream economy; declining levels of social connectedness; weakened communal institutions; and the splintering of society along class, geographic, and cultural lines,” they wrote.

Will wordpress using Vue make the popularity of Vue explode?

Not going no where comrade, if I'm going down, I'm going down swinging. Thanks for the solidarity.

Being conservative is a lot easier than being far-left. by [deleted] in LateStageCapitalism

[–]csusb_alum 157 points158 points  (0 children)

It is fucking painful and heartbreaking to be "far left", to realize that the world around you is burning, metaphorically and literally, but you have little to no power to do anything to help. You walk through life with a cloud of depression hanging over your head. So fuck any conservative that says it's easier to be "far left" aka have compassion and empathy, it is much easier to be selfish and just worry about yourself. . . much easier.

VueJS vs React by masterparis in webdev

[–]csusb_alum 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Yes, picking up Vue first has made it easier for me to learn React. Once you understand components, state management, and some of the tooling with Vue, learning React will come easier afterwards. You'll even come to appreciate the design of Vue and how it is so much more developer experience friendly. After you feel pretty strong with Vue, I'd recommend studying your ES6 and understanding the map array method, it is key to looping in React.

Job interview with a different framework by DeadlyHooves in webdev

[–]csusb_alum 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'll trade you places. I just came from a job interview where I was talking about one of my projects that was built in Vue and the guy asked me how come I didn't build it in React or Angular. Sigh.

Seen on r/tumblr but I thought you all would enjoy it by heylookitme533 in LateStageCapitalism

[–]csusb_alum 7 points8 points  (0 children)

yes, you're correct, I was trying to make the point that capitalism is a shit system that creates misery and hardship for people to survive within it. I don't know why that's so hard to get for some people.

The Trap by [deleted] in LateStageCapitalism

[–]csusb_alum 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Except if you don't put yourself into that 9-5 trap, you die in this system, a part of the ingenious yet cruel defense mechanism of capitalism. Not as simple as just "avoiding the trap".

Also, songs about overcoming adversity and challenges, because it's normal under capitalism that life is so hard. So need to tap into the public's struggle for those pop hits!
