due to deployment hell you end up using docker

Maybe tackle that deployment hell instead of band-aiding it with docker?

The comment section mentions that conundrum as well… quite interesting.

The comment thread in that article is interesting. Grep for Ada.

The fact that the founder commented in approval is gold.

Scunthorpe Problem

If only one could buttassinate censorship…

3. No shit?
4. That kinda makes sense… same strategy MS uses.
5. Is it though? Yes, i know about OpenJDK.
6. Less likely to crash, sure, it’ll just hog memory instead…
7. Aaaaah now we’re getting somewhere…
8. eeww

But this isn’t a significant issue if you’re a large financial enterprise with lots of money to hire lots of devs.

Lots of money, sure. For devs? Not really.

it can’t be indexed and can quickly disappear on a while on the admin side.

On a whim? Also, Google will be disabling it’s caching feature soon.

Use overestimation padding, eh?

Technical debt is the number one cause of developer frustration. Working with imperfect systems demoralizes programmers, making it difficult to do quality work.

I’d wager not being given time to tackle technical debt is indeed frustating…

This is encapsulation, which is one of the better ideas from OOP languages. Though also not unique to them.

Interfaces, APIs, mincroservices, the unix philosophy…

Both, just us’em on your ears when talking to engineers.

You’ve enabled the visible as “for hire” to recruiters thingy, right?

I feel I am getting rejected by positions that are way below my qualifications.

Also below your pay grade, that’s most likely why.

Are there any job boards that may be better than LinkedIn?

The only two others i know are xing (mostly german) and honeypot (haven’t quite figured it out yet besides the silly name).

job boards on the Fediverse

Try cs_career_questions or engineering_resumes.

Edit: as for recruiters, Michael Page has worked for me (especially considering they do recruiting only, not outsourcing which i hate).

HTH

You still should use condoms.

Duzt.
