| brousch__ | @cmaloney Interesting blog post - Left Behind. I've experienced some of the same pain. | 02:16 |
|---|---|---|
| cmaloney | brousch__: Thank you. I think we all have at some point. | 02:17 |
| cmaloney | I got a nice note from another developer telling me to not give up. :) | 02:17 |
| brousch__ | That's one of the reasons I left my last job. There was no chance to advance skills there. | 02:18 |
| cmaloney | She's just getting started and had some tips on what I can do. | 02:18 |
| cmaloney | That's smart | 02:18 |
| cmaloney | I posted that one job earlier this week that was C++ / Java with SVN | 02:19 |
| cmaloney | and I told the recruiter that it was a great job for someone from 2000 | 02:19 |
| brousch__ | heh | 02:19 |
| cmaloney | He asked me more about it | 02:19 |
| cmaloney | http://paste.ubuntu.com/23459030/ | 02:20 |
| cmaloney | so I told him what I found was wrong with it | 02:20 |
| brousch__ | I think you explained it well | 02:21 |
| brousch__ | Although Java is still used a lot | 02:21 |
| brousch__ | Just not by cool people | 02:22 |
| cmaloney | Yeah, but there's plenty of places that are migrating off of it | 02:24 |
| jrwren | it is still one of googles 5-6 langs | 02:27 |
| brousch__ | Also Android | 02:28 |
| cmaloney | Right, and I'm not saying that they're bad languages or somehow akin to using FORTH or COBOL | 02:29 |
| cmaloney | they're just not what companies use if they're making new things (unless you're doing Embedded) | 02:29 |
| cmaloney | and B2B != Embedded | 02:29 |
| jrwren | but... but... google! | 02:30 |
| cmaloney | Put the coconut headphones down; no planes are coming. | 02:30 |
| jrwren | lol | 02:31 |
| brousch__ | I still think Javacript is key to making you most marketable with the least effort | 02:45 |
| brousch__ | Although I've seen a lot of database jobs lately too. Everyone has a bunch of relational databases that need care and feeding. | 02:51 |
| brousch__ | In a company of 25 people, we have 1 guy whose sole job is data wrangling. He uses Perl | 02:54 |
| cmaloney | A lot of what I've seen online for Python jobs are "Full-stack developers" and DevOps sysadmin | 03:09 |
| cmaloney | morn | 11:37 |
| rick_h | afternoon | 12:36 |
| cmaloney | Still? :) | 12:47 |
| rick_h | yea, one more day | 13:03 |
| cmaloney | Hoping you have safe travels back home | 13:04 |
| cmaloney | we miss you. :) | 13:04 |
| brousch__ | Huh, first job post I've seen with Jython as a desired skill | 13:11 |
| cmaloney | Wonder what left | 13:13 |
