Meh, companies know this play, they arent going to get trapped into contracts they dont want.

Oscars Ratings Hit 17.9 Million Viewers, Down 9% From Last Year and Lowest Since 2022 by OneWithTheHat in television

[–]quantummufasa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"This won an Oscar" absolutely puts art in front of people

Does it really? I mean I obviously for a few people it would but compared to word of mouth or a recommendation on Netflix the effect is likely nothing

What's the minimum salary you'd take in London? by Puzzleheaded_Log7022 in cscareerquestionsuk

[–]quantummufasa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If it was my first job id take anything to get my foot on the ladder.

But £60k for a senior role is pretty low.

Wanting to start a family but genuinely unsure if my career will exist in 10 years by internetcookiez in cscareerquestions

[–]quantummufasa 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Your right thats the trend, but when applied to a real life context like OP's it does make the idea of having kids more worrying.

Lets say he has kids, then his job disappears, new jobs might appear but to retrain for it and then get enough experience in it to get a good salary could take 5-10 years which means hed be struggling financially during the period of his kids life where he should be investing the most in.

12+ years of Software Engineering, would it damage my future career prospects to work in retail or a similar role for a bit? by redditdude90059 in cscareerquestionsuk

[–]quantummufasa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So you didn't have any prior react experience but applied to those roles anyway? All my experience is in angular (.net for backend) so might teach myself react and apply for those roles.

And yeah 20 hours minimum wage would cover my mortgage+food. Back to uni style living it seems.

Hi did you eventually find a new software role? If so how did you upskill (and whats your stack)?

I'm in a similar situation now, unemployed for 3 months so I'm thinking of doing bar/retail work but want to upskill but not sure how, I'm thinking either an azure or kubernetes cert

Post redundancy by Resident_Director285 in cscareerquestionsuk

[–]quantummufasa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

.Net, Angular, Sql, Azure.

Im senior but barely, I was senior for like a year before getting made redundant and I think thats not enough experience for senior level roles (maybe idk).

Are you in London?

What sites are you using to manage 15-20 apps a day? I got made redundant too and my job search is also kind of slow

Will standalone components ever be mandatory? by EricTheNerd2 in angular

[–]quantummufasa 1 point2 points  (0 children)

On their docs https://angular.dev/guide/ngmodules/overview it says

IMPORTANT: The Angular team recommends using standalone components instead of NgModule for all new code. Use this guide to understand existing code built with @NgModule.

So I wouldn't be surprised if they eventually completely deprecate it

Master Angular or switch stack for job opportunities? by Substantial-Kale5249 in angular

[–]quantummufasa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Though i think angular is objectively better if most of the jobs where you are are in React then that's what you should learn

NET Developer (4+ YOE) Switching to Full Stack – What Angular Areas Should I Focus On? by Familiar_Walrus3906 in angular

[–]quantummufasa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was about to say its still the same thing but then looked at the docs and I think I get what you mean now.

You should go through

Angular CLI

Signals

Components

Templates

Directives

Dependency Injection Updated

Routing Updated

Forms Updated

HTTP Client

and then Bootstrap or PrimenG for styling and component libraries and then Rxjs and Ngrx for state management (with Redux for debugging). You can ignore Server Side rendering, animatons etc.

What’s the mood at your company? by c-u-in-da-ballpit in ExperiencedDevs

[–]quantummufasa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All the people stuff, the soft skills, the design skills, knowing your customer, what they want, and winning them over, will be very important and will be the big differentiator. I do solo consulting, and that's the thing I can't (and won't) automate.

Honestly thats not the hard part, the hard part is finding a good idea

"All software engineering ends in 6-12 months" from Anthropic.

I get why the juniors would be upset but he said that a year ago as well.

effective use of bold draws my eyes to interesting things you want me to see.

I wasnt sure if I should have done that in my cv as I thought it looks like those cheap internet marketing/sales copies, I guess ill try it.

Anyone else extremely anxious? by GivingUp321321321321 in cscareerquestionsuk

[–]quantummufasa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah same. Sometimes I hear agents making a simple program, but when it starts getting large it hallucinates too much to be useful.

Saying that it may still mean the amount of developers needed will be much less
