I never made the move to NYC because the rent increased so much. I travel a lot.formeork so my company wanted me to stay in the meat packing district but that didn't work out.

I'm in jersey at the moment, Holmdel (affluent/mostly white neighborhood)but I wouldn't suggest moving here unless you have a family
Thats good to know, I had never heard of Holmdel until now. Whats your take on Hoboken? A few people have recommended it

Docker makes life so much easier when trying to get people up to speed with a dev environment. The functional embodiment of I did that so you wouldn't have to :mjcry: . My team has life easy, all they gotta do is get Docker set up. Meanwhile I'm making sure all the components talk to each other and can persist across runs.

The burden of being too damn good :wow: . Had to think ahead though :francis: . Some of these people struggle to do things like find and replace (I'm not kidding), so standing up all the pieces of this puzzle with proper configuration on their own was too tall of an ask. Better to let them fight with Docker setup instead.

For the folks playing along at home, Senior/Principal is just a title. It doesn't always correlate with ability.

Anyone got some MS-SQL or C# resources. Tips & Tricks or whatever???
Not sure if you're down for paying or not, but study.com has sql courses you can actually get legit college credit for.

The first three are the main ones:

Anyone's workplace talking about layoffs? Not looking good out there, at least for now. I noticed recruiters have been kind of light on reaching out lately.

Interesting. They have just put a hiring freeze where I'm at. Though, from what I read and heard this is common across the industry right now. No talk of layoffs yet.

Feel bad for new grads looking for new jobs soon
I think we're still hiring new grad SWEs because I see messages occasionally about people needing a backup interviewer (I used to be an interviewer before they froze out our location :francis: ). I haven't checked other external positions. But I think we're in a tough spot because a big chunk of our workforce is around retiring age/years. Figuratively we can't afford to freeze hiring because when these MFs get cut or retire, we're fukked. Also we have a seemingly high number of contractors so our domain knowledge about our own shyt is spread so thin. We're too big to fail but the current trajectory is a massive L.

Hypothetically let's say you were walking into a new codebase, a small one.. Would you prefer to see heavily commented code, a comprehensive readme, or both :patrice: ?
