As someone who works with this framework for a living, don’t learn it on your free time. It’s absolutely worth learning vanilla Java, but you can learn Spring Boot on the job

It’s not so bad. I’m just a lowly webdev and my work with Java is mostly just basic CRUD operations

I write Java for a living and the places I’ve worked have used Lombok to cut down on the boilerplate code

Not so much for sysadmin (more so just for onboarding), but definitely in the cyber world where having a clearance is almost a requirement. They might not test all the time but during the investigation they basically want people who are clean cut or have at least had their act together for a few years

LOL I went to school for cyber security and got into full stack web dev (graduated at the start of COVID, the job market sucked and I had a connection). Not gonna lie I enjoy where I’m at now. I’m a Linux nerd and I enjoy the cyber stuff but there’s no way I’m ever gonna stop smoking weed to get a security clearance or be on call as a sysadmin

Unfortunately nearly every job posting I see (software developer in the US) is either in office or hybrid 3 days a week. I wish the in-office era was over but I don’t see that as a reality just yet, at least not for people with less than 10 years of experience

Lmao you’ve got at least one guy on your side. I didn’t think anyone sane was on this commie shithole of a community

Oh great, another shonen where we get 3 episodes of screaming and bickering before we get to a 5-episode fight

If you’re smart you do it the quick and easy way and leave the company before it bites you in the ass. Only suckers stay with the same company for more than a few years

Real enterprise programmers know you can get another job in the next year or two so fuck best practice

Holy shit there have been at least 10 Saw movies or did they butcher the name???

It’s a bit ingenious to think it’s so easy to just get some actor to play Jesus pt 2 or whatever. At best, everyone sees the blatant bullshit play for what it is. At worst, you spawn some cult of crazies who are dumb enough to make a government psyop into a religion

I know it’s a controversial statement but it worked for me. Some people need an extra kick to get in the zone

Do yourself a favor if possible and go to another country. I grew up in the US and I was hopeless. I always had to settle and I was very unhappy. Even if you can’t just up and move, at least vacation to somewhere in Latin America or somewhere with a better, more extroverted culture for a couple of weeks. You’ll meet so many people, truly live, and gain a lot of confidence. I moved two years ago and I’m about to get married

Edit: Quick side note, try Ritalin with alcohol. With that combo, you’ll make Casanova look like McLovin. Just remember to drink plenty of water

There sure are a lot of groomers around here throwing out downvotes

Sure thing

I’m here because I’m interested. I’ve put in so many applications but have had no interviews despite 3 years of experience and a masters degree. Y’all let me know

This but unironically

My resume must be screwed because I have a masters degree and 3 years of experience. Recruiters email me but ghost me as soon as I send the resume

Y’all are getting interviews???
