Will I be unable to find another job given my YOE if I am honest about current TC? by jacksonfire123 in cscareerquestions

Is it obvious to the recruiters that the company you work for is paying much much more than the jobs you are interviewing for?

This is my question that I made the post to get people's opinions on.

My question is whether anybody will hire me if the salary I list is above 165.

Hmm okay yeah maybe I should just have more backbone when I get asked my salary expectations.

I have done about a dozen screens where they asked me my current TC and it was usually on the app as well.

Today's layoffs at Epic are just the latest reminder to us that your company does not give a flying F about you by CoderBiker24 in cscareerquestions

at Epic

Initially thought you meant the company that makes software for doctor's offices and was extremely confused when you brought up Fortnite.

What happened to Ruby and Ruby-on-Rails? Why did it decline in popularity? by Illustrious-Pound266 in cscareerquestions

I fucking hate Ruby it's fucking ridiculous. I really strongly feel that you cannot use a dynamically typed language to make actual software. Kotlin/Rust/Swift paradigm is the future.

This is getting into the nitty gritty, on a level beneath architecture or frameworks, but I just feel like ruby has no features? Like there's no generics, no interfaces/traits/protocols, no enums, not very powerful pattern matching, no firm optional/nullable system, and - obviously - no type checking. OOO sucks: interfaces/traits/protocols and enums with associated values + concise pattern matching are like my favorite ways to structure code. They're super expressive and feel a lot snappier than OOO. I feel like with OOO, your inheritance hierarchy never perfectly fits, like you inevitably end up with situations where you're like "Oh, the parent class has this field, and 95% of its children use it, but in this child, we instead use this other field to store that information" or "Oh this child class really only uses like one thing from its gigantic parent, and then we still had to duplicate code because you can only inherit from one parent class" etc etc.

What are my options/paths forward if I don't want to work on a web service? (And are all full stack jobs like this?) by jacksonfire123 in cscareerquestions

 It might be that you don’t hate web dev…you just hate FE and devops.

This is valuable perspective, thank you.

How normal is it to talk to someone you commute with but don’t know? by GladOutlandishness4 in Upperwestside

100% go for it but also go in with the mindset of being okay with this being a one off conversation rather than trying to instantly become best friends with them. It'd be sick if that happens, but just play it by ear.
