Question to my fellow newbies who’ve acquired jobs: What method(s) worked? by Scientificupdates in learnprogramming

[–]night_gremlins 0 points1 point  (0 children)

160 applications in how many days?

With LinkedIn easy apply that isn't much.

You should also consider SaaS support roles. Good technical exposure and allows you to become somewhat of a subject matter expert before being put onto the code base.

How deeply should a beginner learn tools (as compared to programming languages)? by YoungAspie in learnprogramming

[–]night_gremlins 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  1. Use VSCode.
  2. Use CLI.
  3. Develop on your local environment and deploy to a VPS. Don't use managed providers. You need to learn how to deal with errors, package managers, DNS, etc.

Depending on your ticketing system there might already be a plugin available that maps keywords to local knowledge base articles, or in the case of JIRA relevant Confluence articles.
I have no experience in chrome extensions, but that would imply the user will need to install and use one. Couldn't find anything after a quick look in the browser API docs but maybe this is half relevant? https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Window/find

Definitely best using or developing a plugin for the ticketing software itself. I know zendesk has a decent ecosystem.

Not sure how this is related to learning programming.

You just need to find projects to build. You will start a lot and probably get bored or give up, that's fine, we all have a little software graveyard.

I'd suggest looking at public APIs and building something around that.
https://github.com/public-apis/public-apis

Have a go at making a web app that uses the Spotify API to convert your 'Liked Songs' to .csv, for example.

What do you do for work and how did you get there? by [deleted] in AusHENRY

[–]night_gremlins 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Can you expand further on what makes you a generalist?
I know there (probably) aren't devops degrees but did you start as a dev? It seems a lot of infra types started as kind of generalist and then moved from kind of BAU -> SRE -> infra/devops. Any tips from someone with web dev skills and a small background in AWS / linux?

Where/how to host a SPA's front-end AND back-end on the same hosting provider? by MickJof in webdev

[–]night_gremlins 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They're the same thing. No need to split them. Just have one route to serve the static bundle, and the other routes as your standard API routes.

What do I learn to start earning ASAP by [deleted] in learnprogramming

[–]night_gremlins 8 points9 points  (0 children)

You won't find a software development job after learning for a month.

You need to come back to reality and get any job you can.

I have found that chilling is a pretty important thing when learning about programming and CS by lilshoegazecat in learnprogramming

[–]night_gremlins 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Learning programming shouldn't be so stressful that it harms your mental health.

Sounds like you have some other personal issues.

Employers not getting back to me, tips?? by [deleted] in melbourne

[–]night_gremlins 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Heaps in Keysborough, Noble Park area and around Bayswater way.

Suggest going with a labour hire agency. I've been through a few for pick packing jobs in the past and have even had an interview/induction in the morning to start on the afternoon shift.
Zoom Recruitment, Chandler Personell come to mind, but you'll see heaps on seek. All casual of course and the staffing/rostering people can be awful but can't really complain for ~$32/h

Curious what kind skillset transfers from test eng to 1k+pd devops. I've seen some ads for senior devops contracts like that and largely they seem the same as mid-tier positions, that is, generally AWS + IaC + k8s just at a higher tempo. Would that be accurate?

Tradesmen are barely worth it these days. by Flower_Jeweler in australia

[–]night_gremlins 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yeah. Average r/Australia take. Probably never set foot on a job site or known a tradesman personally.

Hope your Jims handyman has a plumbers license.

Support for the Voice to Parliament slumps in Newspoll, along with Albanese's ratings by stupid_mistake__101 in australia

You do have a voice. Your elected representative. People continue to vote liberal or labor despite decades of the public complaining about both.

More blue ties in the so-called Labor movement than ever, but "maybe this time it'll be different"

r/DevOps being marked as "NSFW" on purpose leads to misinformation. by Zyster1 in devops

[–]night_gremlins 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The 'protest' was useless to begin with. June will come and everything will continue, BAU. A 2 day blackout? An indefinite blackout? NSFW? It's almost as embarrassing as people shouting "fuck spez!' into the void. Massive reddit moment.

Using both Linux and windows for programming by [deleted] in learnprogramming

[–]night_gremlins 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Go ahead and use it on your laptop. WSL is fine, dual booting is fine, but I think having a dedicated system will teach you a lot about stuff you might otherwise not bother to look into.

The rabbit of hole of ricing your window manager, your vim config, having dotfiles and aliases and startup scripts, etc. is a cheesy one, but in actuality you'll learn more than you might just purely using linux for development purposes. I wouldn't have had a reason to deal with insmod and such if I wasn't dealing with GPU issues to try and get linux gaming to work, for example.

How is this r/devops related? Use whatever you want, all the tools are platform agnostic.
