brousch_ | I failed my interview. It's really depressing how badly atrophied my coding skills have become | 22:01 |
---|---|---|
cmaloney | brousch_: Sorry to hear that. :( | 22:04 |
cmaloney | (I can completely relate though) | 22:05 |
brousch_ | I need to give up sleep and get back into my side projects | 22:06 |
brousch_ | cmaloney: No job luck on your end? | 22:06 |
cmaloney | Either "wait and see" or "You're not what we're looking for". | 22:07 |
cmaloney | The temptation is to try to work on some of the growth projects that I have | 22:07 |
cmaloney | and see if I can make money from that | 22:08 |
cmaloney | but the reality is I need income | 22:08 |
cmaloney | sooner than later | 22:08 |
cmaloney | so I'm caught between finding something that I want to do and whoring myself out for money | 22:09 |
brousch_ | Yeah, you have less flexibility than I do in choosing | 22:10 |
brousch_ | What are you looking for? | 22:11 |
cmaloney | Yeah, and nobody but myself to blame for it. :) | 22:11 |
cmaloney | Ideally? A fat wallet in the street with no strings attached | 22:11 |
cmaloney | Realistically? Somewhere remote that will allow me to develop | 22:12 |
cmaloney | in Python | 22:12 |
cmaloney | What I'll likely find? Somewhere that does something devops | 22:13 |
brousch_ | Quite a bitnof devops out there | 22:15 |
cmaloney | What I dread? Heading back to the automotive companies with hat in hand and soul ready to suck | 22:15 |
cmaloney | Yeah | 22:15 |
brousch_ | I agree devops is kind of bleh. It's just ops with a new name since | 22:16 |
cmaloney | yeah, and I don't want to do on-call administration | 22:17 |
brousch_ | Ug | 22:17 |
cmaloney | brb, dinner. | 22:18 |
brousch_ | There is a lot of remote Python drv work. I see it on stackoverflow jobs | 22:18 |
cmaloney | Yeah, but there's also a lot that requires Javascript, which is another weakness | 23:14 |
cmaloney | I've been on Stack Overflow Jobs for a lot of my search | 23:15 |
brousch_ | Fucking JavaScript | 23:31 |
brousch_ | Yeah pure python is really hard to find | 23:32 |
jrwren | there is only polyglot. you can accept this or you can live in denial. | 23:32 |
brousch_ | This is true | 23:33 |
brousch_ | Even pure python will have make or bash | 23:33 |
brousch_ | But JavaScript is such an especially filthy mess | 23:34 |
cmaloney | I don't mind polyglot. I enjoy languages | 23:38 |
cmaloney | but Javascript really grinds my gears | 23:38 |
cmaloney | It's like someone took "make it like English" a little too far and only focused on making a muddled mess of exceptional cases. | 23:40 |
brousch_ | I plan on biting the JavaScript bullet | 23:43 |
brousch_ | I have plenty of web side projects (Django) to justify it | 23:46 |
brousch_ | I'm 18% through JavaScript the Good Parts | 23:55 |
