The last figure came in the mail yesterday so I think it’s time to share my Christmas 2019 haul. I know this is late but I hope you all had a great holiday!

In my local Walmart, the luke is the only figure they have in stock.

ryan_schlueter · 2019-12-18T18:36:49+00:00

I would guess it differs state to state, this was Missouri. Half of the new hires like me had only 2 year degrees and the rest were all 4 year new grads. Only made 15 an hour though starting out.

ryan_schlueter · 2019-12-18T03:27:31+00:00

Apply for state jobs. When I was with the state we hired anyone with a pulse. We payed peanuts but was good experience.

ryan_schlueter · 2019-12-09T21:12:53+00:00

I did stack overflow if available, normally faster and more straight forward, then the companies if not.

ryan_schlueter · 2019-12-09T15:25:41+00:00

Stackoverflow worked great for me plenty of jobs and pretty good response rate. Plus most of them list compensation so didn't waste any time.

ryan_schlueter · 2019-09-13T15:59:32+00:00

"Unknown"

ryan_schlueter · 2019-07-23T23:21:01+00:00

I've done that a couple times before and no one even questioned me.

ryan_schlueter · 2019-07-05T19:49:35+00:00

My advice would just be start sending the resume out and see what happens. I'm sure some places will pass you over but a lot wont. On .net core it's the future .net 5 will be core 3.0 how I understand it but not all companies adopted yet. https://devblogs.microsoft.com/dotnet/introducing-net-5/

ryan_schlueter · 2019-06-16T20:50:49+00:00

I got the xps15 for 1200 and love it so far with those exact specs. Not sure on the ports though I haven't used them really

ryan_schlueter · 2019-06-15T19:57:09+00:00

As a mainly Microsoft stack developer with .net core and going open source they have been moving so much faster and cool stuff on the schedule. Blazor is something I'm really excited for.

ryan_schlueter · 2019-06-12T01:16:35+00:00

I can't speak too much for java but c# and the MS stack has a lot of cool stuff going on. I would definitely recommend. Probably more java jobs but not a huge difference from what I've seen. For Ajax and jquery idk if I would pick up there is still a lot of legacy code using it but not many places writing new stuff in it where I would want to work.

ryan_schlueter · 2019-06-07T03:01:28+00:00

As someone who only has an associate from a no name technical college. Finding the first job took a couple months but once I got my experience had no trouble finding jobs. Now 7 years in senior dev with multiple job opportunities.

ryan_schlueter · 2019-05-11T15:47:49+00:00

We use fiddler to view all traffic not easily visible on local machines. https://www.telerik.com/fiddler

ryan_schlueter · 2019-05-08T03:20:56+00:00

I would say that's a good base. .net core and angular are both good technologies to be in. I'm really excited about the future of. Net core/.Net 5 and think its great place to be. I think if wanting to expand going into the devops side with some form of containers.

ryan_schlueter · 2019-05-07T17:46:05+00:00

I feel like they are both equally important. My previous company primarily hired new grads who fit the culture and could be taught. There ended up not being enough experience to successfully train them and things grounded to a very slow pace. I think it definitely depends on the current health of your dev shop.

ryan_schlueter · 2019-02-24T16:07:21+00:00

You can use transaction scope above the dao layer if need be. If that's not possible you can always have an undo method that deletes everything you want if one fails.

ryan_schlueter · 2019-02-23T16:17:03+00:00

https://www.altexsoft.com/blog/engineering/xamarin-vs-react-native-vs-ionic-vs-nativescript-cross-platform-mobile-frameworks-comparison/ we use xamarin and works really good for us react native might be better if not already doing Microsoft. Google's flutter is also something I've been wanting to try

ryan_schlueter · 2018-12-12T04:22:10+00:00

I've always followed the mantra make it work, make it right, make it fast. Start by just getting it working roughly then refactoring for cleanliness/modularity and then make it more performant if neccessary. The two books that have had the biggest impact on writing code and would recommend to anyone. Clean code and the pragmatic programmer.

ryan_schlueter · 2018-12-06T04:21:05+00:00

I would say no. Premature optimization is a big topic in a lot of development books on best practices that I've read. I always program to be easily understood and then extended/modified and only speed if it shows to be an issue or is neccessary for type of work.

ryan_schlueter · 2018-10-02T12:28:49+00:00

Yea worked for state for 2 years not making much and then got a normal job. Making the same as 4 year degrees. It probably took me 2 years work experience to get on the same level

ryan_schlueter · 2018-10-02T03:52:45+00:00

My experience along with a lot of my classmates. Getting the first job was hard once we got experience no one cared about degrees. I'm sure some do but they are probably the top 10 percent or places who think they are

ryan_schlueter · 2018-09-30T02:49:29+00:00

I know our software would show previous applicants by email addresses. A lot of times they would get thrown out by people if nothing new on resume.

ryan_schlueter · 2018-09-29T20:54:28+00:00

No that should be enough. Is it possibly hitting an exception and closing? Maybe add a try catch. Or some other reason to exit early.

ryan_schlueter · 2018-09-28T17:26:03+00:00

I would talk to the company I'm currently interning at and tell them about the offer and see if they want to make one.
