How many years experience? It took me a few years before I started making a decent wage.

Definitely keep honing your skills and applying around for different jobs, and taking jobs that you can use to “leapfrog” to other, even better jobs.

In Canada, the Ministry of Health pays colleges to teach kids COBOL and JCL. It’s a steady job, pension, good bennies. I know a handful of people who went that route, rather than the riskier private sector.

So move fast and break things, 60s edition.

Once you get into it you’ll wonder how you ever programmed without “divisions”! I mean honestly, just declaring variables anywhere? Who needs that. Give me a nice, defined data division any day 😌

I know some Java folks, but my sampling is biased because I meet them where I work - places that predominantly use the younger languages. Actually, I happen to know that the MoH in particular (and probably lots of other institutions) wrap their COBOL/JCL in a lot of Java, so that most devs never need to dive into the “real backend” if they want to just stay at the Java level.

Java people seem like family people. But from what I’ve observed, their job doesn’t seem any different. You can work in javascript, or python, and still insist on clocking out at 16, 1700. But I only work at startups or seat of your pants kinds of places, so I know about what I hear. 🤷

Okay that is getting up in years. I was about there when I started to get more aggressive with the salary I was asking. You could probably start on the developer I -> developer II -> senior developer career path.

Do you look at other jobs much? Do much networking? Talk to other devs about their salary? Even just grabbing a lunch with some workmates from time to time can help get you in the right mindset of recognising your worth.

Catch me going out in that burnt mustard death whip babeee 😎

But seriously, it’s natural burial AKA “green burial” for me.

Hm I wonder if this counts as praxis

Programmers are sensitive enough. All you have to do is raise your voice slightly, and they’ll think you’re yelling. You could probably make one cry just by saying their patch isn’t good, without having to resort to aggressive language.*

I don’t know the whole history, but this seems highly unnecessary, and typical Linus. Didn’t he resolve to be better a few years ago?

Ah found it.

Yeah I just noticed that after commenting this. Still halfway applicable, but who knows how Linus is these days - not me 🤷

as a maintainer

ounce of social intelligence

Maybe fair in a typical setting, but getting iffy around programmers, especially kernel maintainers. I’m convinced linux and foss in general would not exist without the autism spectrum, and who knows maybe even borderline personality disorders

Thank you, I was pretty proud of it

That’s curious because I find I rewatch more movies than ever before, since it’s so easy to find them, and I already know whether I like them or not.

@pomodoro_longbreak@sh.itjust.works avatar

It might, but it definitely hasn’t. I work in some fresh blood on the weekends, when I feel up to taking a chance. Actually, I’ve got a date to go see Dream Scenario (Nic Cage 🥰) just this week.

Hey thank you for commenting on this. It lets me do a tiny lil soapboxing here for just one second hehe:

I wish people did it more often, but I do find the fedi in general good for accessibility (Mastodon community seems especially good at captioning).

I don’t want to shame anyone, but I have been trying to cook up a series of memes to encourage this community (and others) to alt up their images.
