Eye strain and back problems can easily be avoided with ergonomics and regular breaks. It’s your responsibility to take care of your body. Don’t blame that on a super low stress work environment

:mjcry: had to come clean with my lead that I'm having trouble keeping up so now we pair all day. It's great in that I'm learning an absolute fukk ton but the stress of coding in front of others just makes me go blank at times and I look stupid. Honestly feels like my first job taught me a lot of bad habits that I'm now having to unlearn. Just hoping I dont get fired because if this keeps up for a year or so I'm going to be a lethal mf.

Pray for me brehs:sadcam:

Just got done with the interview about 30 min ago and it actually went better than i thought it would go :ehh:

Interviewer ask me to implement a user's website history with one method being add site to history and
the other one being returning a list of visited sites in order.

for the first method , i went with a linked list where i kept a tail pointer in order to keep track of the last site visited.

the second method i used both a dictionary[to avoid duplicate sites] and append it to a list since i had to return a list.

So I am working an apprenticeship right now. Getting paid pennies but it's real experience on real projects.

Right now they have me learning PHP.
I gotta stop bs'ing around and get back into PHP, I learned it when I was taking computer science years ago and dab around with it here and there but there is jobs you can get by knowing it.

I got an offer but it's another contract job( for 4 months) as a Content Producer working with AEM, but it is also a hybrid role between working in New York & remote a few days. Since I live in New Haven I can take metro north on the days I have to work, truth be told I would've pass but since I can't get unemployement since I quite my full-time job to work a full-time with the last company I was with, which didn't hire me but instead hired two philippinos:snoop::unimpressed: left me assed out. But I know now going forward any contract job come my way, If I take it I'm looking for the next gig immediately or at least 2 months in if it's not contract to hire.

Right after I posted that, they changed up and told me "Nah, tell you what. We're gonna put you on a JS project so go ahead and start getting into React"

I'm working on this code that has several bugs that stand out visually which should cause it to fail outright with a runtime error :snoop:. But this is supposed to be a process they rely on regularly :why:?

You folks gotta get on my level and get yourself an ubuntu laptop from dell :myman:

I was going to get one of those but read that those have issues with drivers/devices. And that dell adds their own software "management" tools and utilities to it.

Also last I looked you couldn't get them in the states anymore and the overseas ones cannot be ordered with a US international keybd.

So that just leaves macbooks and I don't want to get one of the new ones.
