The Old Salt

Does Viking family history still count? 😮 welcome Haha!

Hi everyone, it's been a little while.
 
 

A firefighter? That's instant-respect. Thanks for what you do!

I have nothing too recent, new PC only had some old synced photos, but nothing new for some reason, except for the picture of my kiddos! but a couple from a few years ago before I broke my back! Ill have to get a current one because Im rocking the sexy beard like a few others I see! 

Any interest in a IRL meet and greet during 2024 for existing and old members of WG?
Throw in where would be best for u, and suggest below  
 
Im thinking UK probably, but throw suggestions out, has to be somewhere that is accessable for majority

Keep in mind only half of the job or less is actually programming and knowledge based, sometimes we spend more time talking about something than actually working on it. A lot of companies (mine included) program mostly through mob programming as well, so it's more of a hivemind style of writing code instead of utilizing experts. Sometimes even business people partake in the mobbing sessions and being able to guide, teach, explain, and communicate effectively and pleasantly is more important than any technical ability.

That was the big realization when I finally landed a job in IT. And it ended up being a lot less professional, organized and efficient than I thought.

Also the best skill is learning how to learn in different ways, don't box yourself into a "I'm a more hands-on kind of learner" kind of mindset, resources for some things are extremely limited and confusing and you can't always set up a lab for everything. You need to have a good grasp of learning independently, being able to scout for your own resources, and learning in any form, whether it's lengthy reading, videos, labs, examples, man pages, demonstrations, esoteric scriptures, hand-written notes, dusty scrolls you find in the bathroom garbage etc.

Thanks guys, didn't see all your replies appreciate it!

Very nice!! Node.JS is one of the things my course has coming up soon actually! React, NPM, Express.JS is gonna be at the same time as Node, SQL and Mongo DB are a few others when I get into the back end section, Ahh Ill be honest the only reason I wanted Java was to make custom Minecraft plugins haha, A buddy of mine owns a server and I was looking to help him with some haha! I thought they used Java for the plugins :X The other languages I had interest in learning was C++ and C#, but I just want to get very comfortable with Javascript before I try to do that. 
 
Im hoping to land a better job as a back end programmer when Im done with this course, it teaches whats needed to be job ready. I dont have a great eye for design, so unless a company has a designer my front end skills end at the coding LOL. 
 
Ill check that out! I do want to learn Python, I know its very widely used in many aspects

Welcome bud!! Looking forward to getting to meet you!!

Dang Its a tough one to narrow down a few, but if I did have to pick just a few, Halo is number 1 for me without a doubt, Hearts of Iron4/No Mans Sky/Skyrim easy seconds I also love Hell Let Loose, and Phasmophobia, NHL games are good too! I go through phases of games outside osrs I play haha

#botban, kthxbie

Are there any other coders and programmers in the clan?! Im a basic web developer with only knowledge in html css and javascript but currently learning to become a fully certified Full Stack Developer at the moment, plan to move on after that to either Java programming or Python, not really sure just yet which route I wanna take. Curious to chat with other coders!!
