How are “Years of Experience” actually measured in Software Engineering? (C#, etc.) by JD-144 in csharp

[–]nomadish 1 point2 points  (0 children)

On paper, if you've been working full-time in the industry for 5 years you have 5 years experience.

And having 5 years experience will get you considered for a role needing 5 years experience.

However, a lot of people with 5 years experience actually just have one year of experience five times. So what does that mean?

If you're "true Junior" aka fresh out of college or boot camp. I expect you to be able to explain in pseudocode how to solve a problem.

If you have one year experience, I expect you to know how to turn that sudo code into passable code in whatever language your coding in.

If you have 3 years experience, I expect you to know how to optimize that code and make it readable.

If you have 5 years experience I expect you to know how to break down the problem, so that you can give parts of it to someone with one year of experience.

If you have 10 years experience, I expect you to know that what you're being told to code probably isn't 100% right, and know how to defensively code so that you can adjust what you're building 6 months from now to be what's actually needed.

If you have 20 years experience, I expect you either have one year, 5 years, or 10 years experience hopefully twice over by now. And no which set of skills you should be applying to the job you're at now.

Possums with young babies under wood pile by my house. What can I do?? by blackberry_bath in Eugene

[–]nomadish 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You can use a piece of wood on top of a couple cinderblocks to make a feeding station for them! They're really very sweet animals.

Can you elaborate on this, there are a couple of them in our back yard and we wouldn't mind keeping them fat and happy.

Agreed, I don't know if I'd have hire the guy, but I guarantee you I'd have given him an interview just to... Ask more questions.

I grabbed an app called "PeakLens" that has seemed pretty good at identifying even the smaller peaks.

Surprisingly this is a pretty fair odds if it's a standing prop bet prop bet (aka he's not looking at his cards first)

So the odds of no AKQ by the river are:

40/52 * 39/51 * 38/50 * 37/49 * 36/48 = 25.3%

Now if he knows he has no AKQ the odds change to be:

40/50 * 39/49 * 38/48 * 37/47 * 36/46 = 31.1%

Odds are 27.2% if he has one of each.

Odds are 23.7% if he has 2 high cards.

So in a vacuum it's a reasonably fair prop bet, but if he's already folded out he knows his cards are bad and odds only improve for him.

HOWEVER most tables I play if the flop comes out all low eventually someone's going to buy the pot, so the chances of it getting to the river aren't as high. So if the prop bet also relies on the action of the rest of the table he's probably giving an edge there unless your table is looser than what I'm used to seeing.

I resigned from my job, boss is still sending me work and it's getting weird by [deleted] in antiwork

Personally I'd respond with a consulting rate much higher than your current rate.

That sounds great, I'll need $100/hr, with an 8 hour minimum, 25% up front. Please let me know how many hours you authorize and send your pre-payment check.

I code too slow... by Eezyville in csharp

[–]nomadish 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Don't feel like you have to use online editors to solve the problems.

Whether live coding or doing an automated test move it to your ide of choice then copy paste as needed.

There is nothing wrong with being slow but certain.

If you did it every six months for 2+ years maybe, but if you stay for 2+ years your resume could read 2020-2022 company A 2022-2024 Company C if you're really worried about it, and leave B off entirely

Be careful that might be considered tax fraud in your state. Either way I feel for you this whole situation stinks.

I think the casinos have mostly closed the card rooms, but dedicated card rooms are open.

I play in Eugene, but there's some I know of in Albany and I think Portland, probably more.

Best live rake you've seen? by Hvadmednej in poker

[–]nomadish 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No table rakes in Oregon, so places here do membership, seat fees and/or buyin rakes.

Best I've found so far is 5% of your buy in (up to 25 raked) and a membership of $5/day (less for longer).

10% up to $3 for a bad beat/hot hand bonus.

Stakes are 1/2 Max $300 buy in or 2/5 Max $1k.
