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