Re:Atom Editor for Sublime Text Users on Sunday July 12, 2015 @08:41AM (#9873293)
This is a easy switch for me since I really never got into learning the advanced stuff sublime can do and for the bulk of my work I'm hopping in and out of the terminal. Though I'm sure there are plenty of devs that will hold onto sublime to the grave.

Re:Ask HN: Do companies accept self-taught programmers? on Sunday July 05, 2015 @07:12AM (#9833178)
I was in the same situation and after 3 years of open source projects, figuring out what language I wanted to stick with and finally nailing a interview "after many many strange ones" I got a great job. I've quickly grown in my company and others look to me for guidance "I actually introduced them to git".

I hated general college classes that weren't related to programming and sitting in rooms where after a semester people still didn't know how to add a image to a webpage. Now I've learned so much working 50 hours a week getting challenged left and right by so many real life issues.

There are plenty of jobs open to self tought programmers around me they simply want you to master your language and stack whatever that may be and my problem was trying to be a jack of all trades like trying to learn Ruby 3 days before a interview.

Re:Ask HN: How do you monitor several servers? on Sunday June 21, 2015 @10:13AM (#9753507)
Last night I grabbed a JavaScript text to speech script http://responsivevoice.org/ and tossed it into my laptops Apache public directory and wrote a few lines for Ajax request to a script I tossed on each server that would just return some status info stuff like

exec('uptime',$response); echo $response;

In around 15 minutes I now have a siri like bot to take with me that will alert me to anything funky which is necessary after a week of some rogue processes.
