You’ll learn more on the job than you did at uni, I sometimes have small projects that I hire out, you can reach out to me and try out a paid contract job with low pressure. I’ve helped a few other people through the same process but no promises.

The industry is moving very quickly, honestly don’t stress too much about the nitty gritty details like syntax and such, probably a safe bet to focus on the practical side instead of the deeply technical side.

Every interview that I’ve given and taken has been more about personality and compatibility than skill.

Lemmy has definitely “scratched” 100k https://the-federation.info/platform/73

100% agreed, the complications are part of the equation but shouldn’t stop us from making a basic system that works for most people. As long as there’s a way to manually enter and categorize exceptions in the form of assets, extra income, investments, etc it would work for almost everyone.

According to bls.gov

15 million people were self-employed in 2015, or 10.1 percent of all U.S. workers

For w2 employees that makes a whole lot of sense, for the self employed it doesn’t really seem possible for the govt to calculate

VSCode is the best code editor around, the plugin ecosystem is phenomenal, copilot specifically has been the biggest boost to my output in 15 years of development.

Unfortunately it doesn’t do everything, I got stuck with some really old legacy software and have to hop into the vb6 ide, code::blocks, and very rarely visual studio.

Multi-cursor wizardry is absolutely life changing

btw setting up microsoft appcenter codepush is really quick and you can avoid slow update turn around.

I’ve been releasing my react native apps for years instantly to beta and alpha in-app update channels. Testflight is slow, the app store is slow, codepush is fast af.

Four years old?!

It’s pretty good, I am having a bit of a tough time adding a body to a post, I wish making a text post was as simple as writing a comment!

Feels pretty zippy, nice to have everything in one place.

Is there a place in the app to submit feedback?

Edit: ah it looks like the “back” button is how you save the body of the post, I kept pulling the page down to dismiss the popover and it would erase my body, maybe we change the title from “back” to “save”?
