Thread for those of us who actually work in tech to tell workplace stories, complain about coworkers and management, share advice on how to progress in careers, and discuss the technologies we use at our cagies.
>Yeah it's more of a Java problem No, it's a Spring ecosystem problem. Every codebase gets disgusting really fast with it, you seem to know that well enough. When you ditch frameworks and piece things together with modern libraries and actual good practices (like not putting 80% of your business logic in fucking SQL), it can even become a joy to program in Java. The previous company I worked for did everything right, all perfectly crafted, and then I go to fucking Big Corpo #6345234 for the money and now I have to deal with criminally bad code.

How do you guys get past the Resume Keyword search bots when applying to jobs? Do you just copy-paste the requirements and reformat them for every job? Or do you have separate resumes for different niche dev jobs ie. Front end, Full stack, Dev ops, etc.
I wonder if making some document generator that populates a pre-formatted resume based on keywords or phrases would be a cool side project. Thoughts?
copy and paste the listing verbatim into the footer of my resume, 2px white font :^)

How are your results with this method? Do they fair better than not copy pasting?
Kayden Jackson
idk, i don't need to do this because i have no issues getting responses to my applications

Are DevOps looked down on? They are just support for SWE
Jaxson Perry
At my last DevOps job, the DevOps engineers were the software engineers. We had no “dedicated” software engineers. We wrote the app code and the infrastructure code and maintained it all. DevOps is just a way for companies to reduce headcount

dont go into consulting unless you never want to touch code again bros
I don't know, making 250k as a Europoor has its appeal.
Justin Young
I actually want to do consulting, but independent consulting in cyber security. My plan is to make video content on LinkedIn and wait to see if anyone reaches out to me
Ayden Wright

Cooper Nguyen
recently applied for remote it technician. what am i in for frens? t. neet who wants tech job here
Ryder Williams
Sometime they give someone the title architect to give them a sense of job progression, but they still have to do the grunt work
Dylan Green
Got a 140k offer now I'm really nervous about leaving my comfy job.
Benjamin Bell
Would he be considered higher up compared to a lead?
Jeremiah Evans
My previous position was $130k doing probably 2 hours of work a week, now it’s $170k doing 50 hours of work a week
I’m hopeful that the work load will die down after PCI compliance season ends
Jace Phillips
How long should a company ghost me for? I understand that there are literally hundreds of schmucks fresh out of college with a CS degree just like me all applying to the same position but this is starting to get ridiculous
depends on the company structure desu. and the type of title. a 'lead' architect would be higher than a normal architect, but an architect would be higher than a 'lead' developer or something. theoretically you would be as a architect be int he process of designing shit, of what needs to be done, whereas anyone under you would figure out how it would happen
Sebastian Bell
Not every org is the same. Tech lead is a hybrid between a manager and individual contributor. Architect is a high level individual contributor
Bentley Hall
If my current job counters with even 120k I'll take it. Maybe even 110. Currently at 90... but it is like 10 hours of work a week.
Jayden Stewart
the architect may as well be god at my company
Aaron Gomez
I love my current position bc it’s in cybersecurity. It’s a lot of work but I felt shitty having nothing to do before, and it made me watch a lot of porn
