[02:16] <brousch__> @cmaloney Interesting blog post - Left Behind. I've experienced some of the same pain.
[02:17] <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. :)
[02:18] <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
[02:19] <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
[02:20] <cmaloney> http://paste.ubuntu.com/23459030/
[02:20] <cmaloney> so I told him what I found was wrong with it
[02:21] <brousch__> I think you explained it well
[02:21] <brousch__> Although Java is still used a lot
[02:22] <brousch__> Just not by cool people
[02:24] <cmaloney> Yeah, but there's plenty of places that are migrating off of it
[02:27] <jrwren> it is still one of googles 5-6 langs
[02:28] <brousch__> Also Android
[02:29] <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
[02:30] <jrwren> but... but... google!
[02:30] <cmaloney> Put the coconut headphones down; no planes are coming.
[02:31] <jrwren> lol
[02:45] <brousch__> I still think Javacript is key to making you most marketable with the least effort
[02:51] <brousch__> Although I've seen a lot of database jobs lately too. Everyone has a bunch of relational databases that need care and feeding.
[02:54] <brousch__> In a company of 25 people, we have 1 guy whose sole job is data wrangling. He uses Perl
[03:09] <cmaloney> A lot of what I've seen online for Python jobs are "Full-stack developers" and DevOps sysadmin
[11:37] <cmaloney> morn
[12:36] <rick_h> afternoon
[12:47] <cmaloney> Still? :)
[13:03] <rick_h> yea, one more day
[13:04] <cmaloney>  Hoping you have safe travels back home
[13:04] <cmaloney> we miss you. :)
[13:11] <brousch__> Huh, first job post I've seen with Jython as a desired skill
[13:13] <cmaloney> Wonder what left
