the title is a bit sensationalist no?

Senior seems to mean different things for different people

Are you looking for an expert in specifically X language/tech ?

Are you looking for someone with X years of development Experience?

Are you looking for a generalist?

Please clarify

I share most videos and pics to a family chat group but after reading this I went back and checked there were no embarrassing photos. Also just by posting, even to a private group, who knows if the images and videos are kept forever (whatsapp, instagram, snapchat)

I don't do well on on the spot programming interviews. studying doesn't help. I can identify what needs to be done almost always, but implementing it in front of someone in only 40 mins? I need to practice that I guess. In the end as you said, I am constantly wondering what being able to regurgitate a memorized problem tells them about me (nothing) and why they don't care about my past experience, projects, successes and ratings. However, this is what every software interview is now

Interesting, whatever it is society has changed and we need to re-evaluate our culture, community and policies to accommodate

you definitely sound it... its not so much about having the same number as it is about providing the same opportunities. If new moms had the same support, be it from family members and their communities, they would be less likely to leave their positions.

Some things that would help in my opinion as a mother: affordable and accessible day care including back up care, at least 12 months maternity leave, flexible work arrangements (time and place), PTO (imagine both parents only have 2 weeks to spend with their kids outside of weekends), extended school and camp programs, affordability of all.

I went back to work when babe was 4 months. I have only 2 weeks PTO, there inst even a Christmas shut down, I have no family in the area, the daycare centers around me have 1 year waiting lists and are over $2500/month. I am underpaid. My work is flexible thankfully.

I don't blame women who quit.

Thank you

mom here. same 2 kids, one a baby... they dont sleep man. I practice at night, about 1 hr before bed. Sometimes during lunch break at work. It takes much longer and its hard to remember all the algorithms. I hope to land a better job too. I am confident in my abilities and I've always been well liked and done great work, but I am not quite confident with interviews yet...

yup haha

I was maybe 9 or younger in the early 90s and I was very computer savvy (am in software now, surprise?) I knew how to log into chat rooms. My parents had no idea and it wasn't as dangerous as it was now. It was just a lot of people really excited to talk to each other. I may have been lucky.

I version control everything, but my boss is not technical so this all seems like magic and you can make something simple a big deal easily.

There wasn't collaboration other than plugging it into his code. It was not an oversight it was very clear he claimed to have written it all.You are correct though, partly my fault, why not mention it first myself, why wait for someone else to.

Thank you your reply made me feel confident. I think it was an initial shock, I haven't had anything happen like this since university CS.

yes finally. A step in the right direction.

Recently I ordered shoes. My account on the company website listed my current address, the billing address was the same. When my shoes were sent they sent them to my old address... from 3 years ago. I logged back in and did not see my old address anywhere on my account however it is obvious they had it in their database and a glitch dispatched my shipment to this old address. What business did they have saving all my addresses? If I deleted it from my account online, why did they save it? I felt very unsettled about all the "deleted" data I had online

thanks for replying, the schools here are awful so I am looking at other places as options

where

have 2 and would consider having 3 if it wasnt for the horribly short maternity leave and cost of daycare. I just can't do the pump at work, wash bottles all night again. I also anticipate I wont make any savings for the next 1-2 years with the cost of child care. It sucks, it really really does.

Speaking not only as a Woman but as a Mother (Happy Mothers Day everyone) nothing would of persuade me away from STEM career. My parents were both in STEM and the love for science was as early as I can remember. HOWEVER on my most difficult days I feel like it is so hard because of the awfully short maternity leave, not enough vacation days to spend with family, no sick days to care for sick kids, 40 hour weeks when I can be done my work in 30 or less.

I dont feel negativity about interactions with other males in the industry. The bad interactions are usually from socially awkward individuals in general

my elderly mother (70 yrs) who was visiting, came down with very bad flu symptoms. Having a newborn at home I took her to urgent care to get Tamiflu. They did the rapid test that came negative so they sent her off with nothing.

Considering her age, the fact that I had a newborn and that rapid testing has a high false negative rate, I was pretty upset that they didn't give her tamiflu as a precaution. Maybe reports that it was in low supply are true

we have a ton of toys, but they are always organized into containers and cupboards. toddler selects one to play with but can't move on to the next one until they clean up, usually this makes them just play longer with the selection. do you reall have to limit the amount of toys, or just the way you play?

thanks, that was it. I forget i have it most of the time

I cant see the list, just a banner with his picture. I am on Chrome

The lab. too much human error from temporary unmotivated young workers.

I tend to agree

way waaayy over simplified

I like the app for the classifieds, and event posts and updates directly from the city and police department. However there are a lot of older generation posters that complain about everything and anything. Lately in my neighborhood the older generation have been outraged about the new recycling bins and rules. How dare they expect us to sort our own garbage! Actually they are outraged about any change...

I love everything Star Trek, I watched it with my sister as a child and I remember thinking, this is the future when I grow up. As an adult I have to say I am disappointed we haven't advanced much in space travel and mostly that people still don't get along (Earth citizens vs country). Theres still hope for the future! Live Long and Prosper

I bought a $80 item from a toy store this week, the price was the same as Amazon and I was glad not to deal with delivery, boxes and packaging. At another toy store i picked up a llama llama book, but it was $17 in store, and only $10 on Amazon. I didn't get the book. $7 is worth waiting and dealing with boxes

oh I meant a day, but I agree unnecessary meetings throw me off
