I wonder if they licensed the source of 5.0+ to someone and are still getting paid for it. If so, it’s probably something ubiquitous and critical that nobody would think of like traffic lights or water treatment plants.

I think we need to take a step back and add some context. Every company will have their own hiring process, but they are mostly the same. Where I work it goes like this.
During this entire process the only people that are going to look at your website are the hiring manager, stake holders, and peers. That is only if they are feeling motived to do additional research on you after having looked at your application and resume. Your application and resume should have already told them that you know the technologies you listed. This means that the user is not rewarded with any additional information. What was the point of me seeing this page? As one of those people interviewing you the only thing this page actually tells me is that you know how to put words on page with a template. That template should be custom and look amazing.
Jeff Geerling’s website is a good example for content. The design isn’t something I would expect from a front end developer, which he is not.
https://www.jeffgeerling.com/ https://www.jeffgeerling.com/about
Nowhere does he have a list of icons of technologies used. You learn that he knows how to use git by the link to his GitHub profile. He doesn’t have a dedicated contact page. The only thing that is really needed is mention an email address on the about page and links to socials. It’s almost like he shows us his skills instead of telling us about them.
Do not do this, but if you are, be sure to include Excel, Word, Windows, Outlook, and TCP/IP. Adding TCP/IP lets them know you’re a real technical person.
Most automated scoring of a resume compares your resume to the job posting you’re applying for. The closer the match the higher the score. You should be tuning your resume for each job and while using the same words and phrases in the job posting.
The second column seems clunky to me. I know what everything in column 1 is for. Column 2 seems redundant or filler. For a keyword search or something like an ATS having those things mentioned is probably helpful. Though, for an ATS you should be optimizing for that separately.
Right now the About Me page doesn’t tell me anything that I won’t find out on the Resume and My Projects pages. I would get annoyed at having a wasted click for no new information, and it tells me that you’re just putting stuff on a page for filler. Maybe consider combing the About Me and Contact Me pages.
On the about me, you may want to add a portrait and some biographical information. Nothing too personal. The stuff you would like to share an icebreaker in an interview. It’s a good way to provide a conversation starter, “Hey, I saw on your page that you like kitties and hiking. I like kitties and hiking.” I had my HVAC serviced last week, and the company sent me a text with a photo of the tech and some general biographical info on it. Apparently the guy likes going to the gym and spending time with his family. I don’t know why I needed to know that, but now I do. Humans are social animals, and a lot of humans like that kind of stuff. The portrait doesn’t have to be anything professionally done. Any decent phone has a portrait mode. Just look nice and use a clean background. Don’t use the webcam on your monitor with your unmade bed in the background.
Also, this page tells me you are more of a back end person. Someone more front end would be a little more creative on the graphical design. This looks like a default template. That’s fine if that’s the message you want to convey. That’s what my stuff looks like. I mostly do data engineering and present those data in an interactive dashboard with some manipulation and filters. In that situation having a boring and generic looking dashboard is desirable. My users prefer that since they are really there for the data and controls, and anything extra would be a distraction. If you want to convey that you are more front end focused you need a less tabular layout and more visual candy.
print(f"debug: {what_the_fuck_is_this}") is a valid pattern that seasoned professionals still turn to. If you’re in a code environment that doesn’t support it, then it’s a bad code environment.
I’ve been known to print things to the console during development, but it’s like eating junk food. It’s better to get in the habit of using a logging framework. Insufficient logging has been in the OWASP Top 10 for a while so you should be logging anyway. Why not logger.debug("{what_the_fuck_is_this}")
or get fancy with some different frameworks and logger.log(SUPER_LOW_LVL, "{really_what_the_fuck_is_this}")
You also get the bonus of not going back and cleaning up all the print statements afterward. All you have to do is set the running log level to INFO or something to turn all that off. There was a reason you needed to see that stuff in the first place. If you ever need to see all that stuff again the change the log level to whatever grain you need it.
That actually makes a lot of sense. Board revision was a lot more difficult back then.
I would have like to been in the meeting where they discussed putting the keyboard cable on the front of the keyboard.
I don’t know what the refill process is like.
That’s the first issue. They don’t really explain that anywhere.
I was under the impression that at week 6 I would have a followup appointment with the prescriber. She mentioned that she would hear from her in about 6 weeks. That’s not what happens. So at week 6 I started to wonder what was up so I called. They told me that the first vial contains enough tirzepatide for 8 weeks, 4 weeks at 2mg and 4 weeks and 4mg. The also said before my 8 weeks are up I should get a follow-up form via email.
At week 8 when I took my final 4mg dose, Friday the 5th for me, I got an email with a link to a followup form. I filled it out and hit submit, and didn’t hear anything back. When I didn’t get a tracking number today I called them up again and explained that next dose is due tomorrow, and I don’t have a refill. The guy said that the providers have fallen behind on processing refills. He said he would expedite my refill and gave me a $50 credit. If my refill get approved Friday and submitted, I still have to wait for the pharmacy to send it to me. That probably won’t happen until Tuesday since Monday is MLK day. Then add 1-2 days for shipping. I guess I should expect to get my refill on Thursday or Friday. Maybe Wednesday if the pharmacy sends it overnight.
It’s not the end of the world, but it still annoys me that they didn’t consider the holidays. It also annoys me that they are really tight in the refill process. 7 days from the form being sent to you, and your next dose really isn’t a lot of time. If they start the counter to send the refill form out starts on your delivery day does this mean that my next refill will now be pushed out a week.
Overall I get a lot of low profit margin vibes from them. Businesses like that tend to be too cheap when it comes to this operational stuff and errors happen. I’m glad they are not the ones actually running the compounding pharmacy.
Though, compounding pharmacies have their own set of issues. This is the place that filled my prescription.
It looks like they took care of the issues.
I think I’ll end up switching to the brand name stuff soon.
I wouldn’t call it a scientific journal, but I always find something interesting to read in the Communications of the ACM.
My employer has a plan exclusion for GLP meds for weight loss so I’ve been on tirzepatide from henrymeds since November. I’m a little disappointed with the refill process. What compounding pharmacy are you using?
For Java, I guess this as official as you can get.

If your body goes unclaimed then it’s up to whatever local entity to dispose of it. Most places cremate.

Google is an advertising company. Something like 80% of their revenue comes from selling ads.
How would spending money on Gitlab support their primary business.
What industry do you work in? I would focus on that. The truth is that programing is somewhat of a commodity, and a lot of your value is going to come from industry knowledge.
Dude interviewed some people that did both software and other forms of engineering. Vast majority said software engineering is real engineering.
These are a few things that stood out to me.
In software engineering the gap between tradecraft and engineering is a lot smaller than the other engineering fields like electricians and electrical engineers.
Software engineering can iterate faster because it’s cheap. If civil engineers could iterate like software engineers they would. New modeling tools are allowing this.
A lot of physical engineering defects are being fixed with software. 737 Max was given as an example where the new engine configuration made the plane unstable and it was fixed in software.
A lot of things can be learned from the different fields. All the other engineering fields wish they had version control. Software engineering needs more very focused deep dive books like this the other engineering fields have. Ex: https://www.amazon.com/First-Snap-Fit-Handbook-3E-Attachments/dp/1569905959
Don’t worry about Linux, and don’t try to over complicate things. If you are set on going the Linux route, get a Raspberry Pi. It will give him something really flexible and cheap to experiment with later on.
Look into modded Minecraft. There is a mod called Computer Craft where you can write programs in Lua. One of the things that makes scratch so good for kids is that the results are instantly visible. This is important for kids.

There are programs to control your reactor > https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N9fC3khXuj8
Unmodded Minecraft has Redstone where you can build logic gates.
Outside of what you already have check into a maker space or a computer club at school. Here in Atlanta there is https://www.codeninjas.com. Maybe there is something similar in your area.
Maybe this is helpful. https://imgur.com/a/TNpqz
If you find any additional information please share it with the rest of us. I have a really yellowed AppleVision 850 in the project pile. It’s too big to redrobright and get an even result.
I’m on a team of 5 and we don’t have an on call rotation since developers are not prod ops. But in a sense we are all on call all the time. The NOC has our phone numbers and if we are needed for something urgent we will get a call or a text for things like helping prod ops troubleshoot an issue if they get stuck. My boss has texted me while I was on vacation before. Usually it’s a quick question for something obscure. Once it was an escalation from a senior executive. I don’t have to respond if I’m on vacation, but if I’m getting a call they really need help with something. It also is a good opportunity to lay a guilt trip on your boss that results in a few reward points. Never had to actually log into anything though.
We also have BCP, business continuity plan, events. I work for a company that provides a lot of critical infrastructure. If the BCP event is really nasty, like a natural disaster, and our team needs 24/7 representation on the bridge, we take turns and will relieve each other. You won’t be expected to help out on a BCP event while on vacation.
Besides BCP we usually have to be available for certain production changes. Like a few months ago I had a DNS and load balancer change done. I wasn’t doing the work, but the team making the change wanted me available between 3 and 5 am to validate the change.
If I were paid hourly things would be more formal. I would get overtime(1.5 x hourly rate) + comp time. Since I’m salaried I just sleep in the next day. Our schedules are really flexible. We basically need to be mostly available for meetings for around 4 hours a weekday from late morning to late afternoon, and complete our projects on time. It was like this in the before times. Back then I would go into the office around 11 am for our daily standup. Get lunch with some team mates. Do some afternoon meetings then go home, and do my more focused work at home after dinner time. Most of my team mates did something similar.
Rest of the compensation is your typical American senior software engineer salary with a 10% to 20% bonus, 7 weeks pto, health insurance, life insurance, short term and long term disability insurance, 401k with 6% match, pension, retirement health insurance, pet health insurance, can use the corporate travel agent for personal travel. I actually like this perk a lot. You still pay for personal travel but it means a lot of discounts and upgrades. We also get to keep our various travel points.
I mostly use VS Code as a simple text editor with some of the CSV plugins. Though with JetBrains coming out with Fleet I’ve started to use that more. It doesn’t have plugin support yet so it’s not getting a lot of use.
For everything else I use whatever JetBrains IDE fits. For work, it’s mostly IntelliJ, DataGrip, PyCharm, and DataSpell. At home, it’s IntelliJ DataGrip and CLion. I guess I’ve kinda drank the JetBrains KookAid, but to me, it’s worth the subscription to the all products pack. Especially if you are a polyglot since you keep a consistent IDE experience.
