Software Development and Programming Careers (Official Discussion Thread)

Why do programmers usually have that vertical screen?

use of screen real estate... especially good for checking emails (as displayed) and anything that involves a lot of vertical scrolling

I haven't posted much in here, but this thread has been a constant source of inspiration for me. It's taken me almost two years after the setbacks I had with grad school (it's a long story), but I accepted an offer as an iOS software engineering intern position yesterday. And I'd have to do terribly to not be offered a full-time position a few months down the line.

I don't even think it's fully set in yet, but I'm excited to be professionally doing what I've been doing both in school and in my spare time for the past four years.

Congrats Breh and don't be afraid to chanllenge more experience developers

My epic return to programming was short lived. You guys here convinced me that my ways are obsolete (c++, fukking with low level apis). I'm currently learning Blender and Unity 5 following along lynda.com tutorials. But the guy doing the Blender tutorials is boring as fukk. Almost fell asleep during 1 video. Years ago I used lynda.com to learn 3ds max and became really competent with it. Now I'm on Linux and refuse to go back to that spy tool they call Windows. Might fukk with the udemy tutorials instead since they seem way more extensive and interesting: Learn 3D Modelling - The Complete Blender Creator Course

Edit: Aw fukk. The udemy instructors are British. Will be difficult to understand wtf they're saying....fukk!!

Thanks brehs!

Not gonna lie, this is something that has me slightly nervous. But I will say while the job I'm leaving was basically a dead end career-wise, it did teach me how to give and take constructive feedback, so hopefully I'll be fine with challenging more experienced developers when necessary.

It's always a tough transition. I know older devs who are good and smart but really set in their ways so it's hard for them to adapt to new, better and often easier ways of doing things.

I recently moved to using IntelliJ as my go-to Java IDE vs Eclipse and I'm so glad I made the transition even though it was hard to convinnce myself initially. Eclipse is straight garbage. So many man hours lost trying to tame that beast and get it to work.

gotta be diplomatic with it or else you are painting a target on your back

I did this two months ago, I think before you asked. I wanted to post something original just got side tracked.
I tried to duplicate the tribute page that was already posted without looking at the code. i think I got pretty close. Not perfect.

I'm just getting back into this. i thought i'd be adding a cert in the field I'm already in but decided to postpone it. I might try to do both. It's hard to be motivated doing this. I feel like I'm flying blind. And i'm probably going to be taking a pay cut. If I do any more codepens i'll add them to the thread.

I really prefer trying to learn/use the unreal engine (since that's grown man shyt) but my computer can't run the editor. My video card is the bottleneck. Might have to stick with unity though. Still learning blender.
