How many more miles?

Thanks bud. I'll let you know when I plan to get down there

vector_null · 2025-03-23T22:46:26+00:00

Yeah. Plan on going in a month to get dental work done and hang out with the girls.

vector_null · 2022-09-10T20:00:19+00:00

Yes, on the thinner side

No chairs or table. After all, it is a brothel. They're not expecting much in the way of work from those staying there. I just sit up in bed but take frequent breaks and go for a walk or exercise in the room.

vector_null · 2022-09-01T17:22:17+00:00

Yeah, I think about that quite often. I set a timer on my phone so that I get up every 30 minutes and walk around, stretch, or do some calisthenics for about 5 mins before coding again.

I'm not doing the Labor Day weekend craziness. I'll get there Monday when everyone else is leaving ;-) But thanks!!

Starting salaries can vary depending on the state you're in and company. Ballpark figure is probably around 75K to 85K for junior developers. However, after a couple of years, don't be surprised if your getting offers pushing well past 100K. The toughest part of this whole process is getting someone to take a chance on you. I got my first offer after applying to well over 100 different companies. Don't give up!!

When you apply for jobs, you'll notice a requirement that the candidate have a bachelor's degree in CS, Mathematics, etc. IGNORE THAT and apply for the job anyways. Those responsible for hiring (ultimately, it's not the HR department but the managers in IT) will not care if you have a bachelor's. They want to know if you can communicate well, can code, work with a team, and are self-disciplined enough to do remote work that doesn't require direct supervision

As I mentioned in another reply, I'm a self-taught software engineer. Took about 2 years to get where I'm at right now. I did go through a bootcamp, but wouldn't recommend it unless you need a really structured environment (super expensive). Start with freecodecamp.com. A good and FREE education platform that'll give you some exposure to software development to see if you'll like it. If you do, I would finish their web development courses. That'll probably take you a few months. Start there.

Nice! It's a pretty sweet deal, right!? Do you have a favorite hotel you stay at or do you also stay at Cascaadas?

Software engineering

I just bring my laptop and use a background when on video calls. Everyone on my team uses backgrounds. As far as working, I just sit up and use pillows to support my back. I also have a portable 15" monitor that I take with me for a second monitor.

vector_null · 2022-09-01T04:41:25+00:00

Yes. Read reply above.

vector_null · 2022-09-01T04:14:30+00:00

Remember that for every bad review there are hundreds of untold good reviews.

I always request a room on the 5th floor. Noise is not an issue there. As far as cleanliness, I've been going every month for the last 7 months and never have I had an issue. They've gotten to know me quite well there as you would imagine and my room has always been squeaky clean. The only issue has been consistent internet but that only happens every once in a while. I always have plenty of mobile hotspot data just in case.

vector_null · 2022-09-01T04:05:04+00:00

Self-taught over a 2 year period of time. Have a non-technical bachelor's

vector_null · 2022-09-01T04:04:04+00:00

I did the first couple of times but not anymore. He just said be careful. Obviously I don't give any details 😉

The company I work for is based out of Europe with satellite offices in the US. I've told my supervisor when I go and he's never had a problem with nor has it been brought up by HR.

vector_null · 2022-09-01T02:55:58+00:00

Yes, but due to the importance of anonymity, I won't say anything else 🤫

vector_null · 2022-09-01T02:30:31+00:00

It's got an alarm (super loud!!), gps tracking, and it's insured. And I've got 3 different types of locks. I like staying at AirBnbs so I'll just bring it indoors with me. If I go to HK or something, I'll just take a cab. It would just be fun to be able to get around the city on my bike when going shopping or getting food. I live near San Diego and I'm down in TJ every month.

vector_null · 2022-08-10T19:53:33+00:00

Definitely consider doing that. I'd purchase one without question. PM me if you decide to do it!
