Brehs I just wanted to share this site I found, dunno if its been posted before. Teaches all different types of programming for free. Im a beginner so thought there would be other lurkers who would find it useful

This or tutorialspoint is ill as hell.
I learned a lot from tutorialspoint.

Trying to get a good grasp of this concept. Was emailed to me earlier and I wanted to take a look at it.

If he's smart, those six years were spent finessing his way into retirement
That's easy enough for people who do repetitive things every day but nothing I do can be automated. I could probably automate most of our testing team out of existence if I really wanted to though, and sometimes 8 really freaking want to
. But that aside I'm writing custom pieces of code and doing some hardcore troubleshooting.

You could pitch the idea to your boss in exchange for a pay raise. Paying you alot of money would be cheaper than paying a team of people. Though that would be a cold-hearted thing to do since you'll be putting them out of work.
My leadership isn't a part of the team I'm on, so at best it could help me come bonus time, at worst I could get stuck dealing with testing because when you do one thing well one time they assume you're an SME, and I'm trying to avoid that at all costs. The sad thing is, if the testers would just take hold of the automation we already have in place then they could kick back for most of the development iteration. I've been working on some supplementary tools for the current test framework that will let them fill out some JSONs, write a quick test, then call it a day. But I have a feeling they're going to push back with the thought that because they have to write some code it's really a task for a developer.

Man, I just grinded out a 6 hour interview for a new job, 4 whiteboard questions, then they wanted me to build a single page app for them from scratch and only gave me one hour to do it smh.
The interview process is starting to get ridiculous, I haven't bootstrapped anything in over a year ever since I started working.
That said, I'm starting to use my skills and experience for other things:
Anybody have any experience with algotrading (mainly with forex) on here? I heard there's too much competition and companies have the advantage of numbers, but I'm looking for something along those lines of getting paid for your skills outside of work.

Stack your money. This tech industry can be very unstable, and while there are fat paychecks to be had now, who really knows how long this will last. I'm going to save as much money as possible and parlay it into other avenues and hopefully my own business. A dude at my job who I'm cool with has been working there for 9 months and out of nowhere they just told him, "We don't have any more budget for you so you're gone." These companies don't care if you moved down there and got a lease for them. They will let you go in an instant.
Being skilled and getting your name out there is very necessary in this industry or you can get in very troublesome situations if you move somewhere, sign a lease and get let go and find it nearly impossible to find another job.

I've been learning Java and have no problem with it. But....I can't escape the feeling that perhaps learning c#/.net would be better.
indeed.com
'java' - my area = 5,755 jobs
'c#' - my area = 1,630 jobs
Sure Java is more popular in my area but my chief concern is competition. I don't want to have to compete with hundreds of other people for a job. A company's HR department will have to go through hundreds of applications and the dumb breh with no college degree/work experience will have his resume thrown in the shredder. So going with the less popular technology might be a way to avoid competition. Also the java/c#/.net backend stuff has a steeper learning curve. So that means less boot campers applying to these jobs. (they mostly fukk with nodejs/flask/django)
