Hello, I've been developing webs over shared hosts, and both desktop and phone apps, but I never had to configure or take care of a server.

Re:Ask HN: Senior devs applying for junior position?
on Friday February 06, 2015 @04:29AM (#9008246)
I'm the kind of person who tries to get a junior position in this case, and I don't know if I could be called Senior.
Let's say I've been working for almost 3 years in which i have developed fully on my own Android, Java Swing, Php, AngularJS, C and managed an apache server with FTP access and virtual domains.
I know half of the people I went Uni with would cry and weep at the prospect of doing my job, but still, there's nobody to say that I'm senior.
Maybe the person applying just doesn'ty know he's Senior, after all there's no Standard.
Maybe he's just unemployed and feeling the dread of poverty.
Maybe he has a shitty job and just wants to flee or get better opportunities of improvement.

What is your best chance if you lack a personal network or your personal network is in no place to help? Assuming there are no local events or they are out of reach (geographically or time-based)

Very inspiring, but take into account that John (most likely) lives in a good enviroment to proceed with this, his job is intellectually demanding but he is not overworked or extramulti-tasked.
If your job leaves you depleted, and when you arrive home you're like a husk of a human being you can't expect to do something like this.
Take into account that great developers like John live in a place where they can grow, you can't copy what they do and expect to have the same great results in a not so great environment.

You know, sometimes I look at these figures and i have to laugh, in Spain I make about 25k$ yearly pre-taxes and I'm considered "lucky"
