TikTok is the first app where AI is the product. https://a16z.com/2018/12/03/when-ai-is-the-product-the-rise-...

why would you visit Reddit from a mobile browser? can I tell you about these things called "apps"?

nope I took US history multiple times after that, still thought the bill of rights had 10 amendments

12 different ones, then choose based on my mood.

Nope, just one luxury brand

"It's not our niche technology, it's the damn developers not supporting it!"

Thanks Dad

Everyone has a different level of "acceptable, manageable biases"

"because that's what literally everybody uses." This exact same statement could be said about TheFacebook.com. How is using WhatsApp any different, if the goal is to disrupt Zuck's data collection?

So Slow. It'll take seconds to open an email or label sometimes.

In a non-technical environment, it is very easy for a junior developer to end up the smartest person in the room as far as tech is concerned. Think meetings with SMEs, PMs, or Sales.

It's a question of support though, in a non-software-selling org, as a dev, you are a cost center, not a profit center, so getting the tools or other things you need is not a business priority; in fact, any additional costs in the cost centers are only losses on the balance sheet. In a company that sells software (primarily), you are the profit center, so anything that can be done to facilitate your work is supported, as it drives the bottom line.

footnote: just because they produce lots of software doesn't mean they've ever learned how to do it right. Ford is still a car company, Chase is still a financial company, Schlumberger is still an oilfield service company, despite all of them producing more software than some Software Companies.

Windows, Desktop, Firefox : no issues

Windows, Desktop, Chrome: Clicking the scroll bar works; mouse wheel, arrows, page up/page down do not.

Where are you getting that?

It's definitely a non-New Yorker perspective though.

The other humans in this city are awful

philly

"nobody out in the real world believes in pure waterfall anymore"

I'd allow that this might be true within large software organizations, this is definitely not the case where most software is written: in non-software organizations.

me too thanks

It's almost like a programming language is a language...

OP is actually a dog

And yet, we also have nearly-infinite number of (reinvented) wheels...

Humans are the worst

because "full-stack"

JS is the New York of languages: dirty and gross and hella expensive, but if you can make it there, you can make it anywhere.

WHAT YEAR IS IT

to the river

He never said easy, he said as hard, which is true.

Because of unconscious bias, which you seem unwilling to attempt to change.

Choose a stack (I started with MEAN but MERN is legit as well.) then build everything you can think of with it, both to build your skills (and your github commit history!) and to potentially show off to potential employers. Something CRUD (like a blog or todo list), an app with a semi-complex form, an application with complex data passing: child component -> sibling or parent.

This first (real) gig is the hardest to get, because you your job history/experience is short. Doing these personal projects won't expand your job history, but it can do wonders for your experience. My first software job I had one thing listed under job history on my resume, and 3-5 listings under Projects/Experience.

who decides which fish are worth frying? You from your perspective or...

TC or GTFO
