Ruby! It’s a wonderful language with a fantastic community, mature frameworks, and active development on performance and core features.
I’m 100% with you on that. I have filtered out so many communities because I get frustrated seeing the same shit posted to every iteration of a stupid news community. It’s exhausting to try and see things once.
I don’t think titles directly transfer between companies, and yet the industry allows it. It’s a very useful tool for advancement.
Time on the job does not equate to skill. Some jobs force you to figure shit out that other jobs simply never expose you to. Other jobs expose you to lots of busywork and that isn’t going to make you a better engineer either.
I’ve met senior engineers with 3 years that are significantly more useful than senior engineers with 10 years. Individual motivation and willingness to learn matter the most to me.
I have used the ladder to my advantage and advise others to do the same. It’s a game, you don’t win by not playing.
Neat! Thanks for sharing
11 or 12 years here
Glad I can shove more things into the same physical space. I can’t wait until HAMR is ready next!
