Strange, I'm 35 and I feel like I can write code faster than ever, I have started many more open source projects in the past year than in my whole career, and they are in late stage development at the moment. Also, I'm about to launch my first mobile app, developed in React Native. At the age of 35, I am more responsible & less distracted than I was at 25.
Visual Studio 2017 + VS Code. One is used for ASP.NET Core development & Unity development, the other is used for React Native mobile app development. God, I love being a developer
I spend 12+ hours a day writing code for open source projects that I started, many of which are very innovative projects. I spend my time learning, documenting everything I do, building tools that I want to use so that I can build other tools with those tools. If you are bored, it is because you have a sense of entitlement. "The world exists to entertain me", you may think. "I exist to entertain the world" is how you should be thinking.
what a load of crap. Windows is the only OS that can play modern PC games reliably. There are millions of homes with Windows 10 PCs, and your article sounds extremely desperate.
BS you have every choice, you’ve just given up. Get out of LA! Go somewhere where people will treat you with respect, somewhere beautiful where you can explore the wilderness, somewhere where the pay is good, somewhere like Bellevue WA.
Try physical work if you don’t like to exercise without purpose. Perhaps maybe get a night job waiting tables or doing something outside your comfort zone. Get out, talk to people, fight depression by fighting your comforts! Stop eating processed sugars & foods. Cook all your own meals. Find someone on Instagram to look up to (body builder, The Rock, super models, anyone!) have goals you know you can achieve and ACHIEVE THEM! Learn a martial art, do deep breathing exercises, meditate, yoga, go into the wilderness and listen to the silence. Just don’t sit in your comfort zone and play pity party games by yourself. No one likes a victimizer.
Last year I had a 45” 4K screen with 150% scaled UI and was able to develop in VS code with two code windows open side by side, all with the crispiest text I’d ever seen. It’s the dream.
all lies. hacker news is one of the greatest reasons why i have learned so much about the world and all of its possibilities. news, good or bad, is worth learning about. swallow your pride and learn of all the truths in this world, be humble and overcome all obstacles with applied science and always be true to thine self.
I purchased a device called the Ultimate Zapper which has completely eliminated any joint pain I've had throughout my entire body, including extreme wrist joint pain & lower back pain related to my career as a full stack web developer. It cured the pain within 48 hours of using the device, and it has so far had permanent effects.
Our project manager constantly complaining out loud about how our female clients are "cunts" & "bitches" on a weekly basis, in our open office of 10+ designers & developers (two of which were female designers). Talk about killing morale...
I use a device (http://zap.intergate.ca/) before going to bed, which induces electroporation & destroys harmful organisms living in my body. I ride my bicycle 5 miles to work & 5 miles back home every day. I limit my caloric intake to less than 1,500 per day. I drink a lot of water and also teas that reduce stress.
Looking through the javascript portion of Bootstrap, I would have to say that it may not work. I haven't fully tested the $.extend method yet, and since Bootstrap extends functionality of jQuery, it may not work. But I intend on working on that while keeping the gzip filesize of selector.js under 5kb.
Yea now that Microsoft is on board with open source, my list of tools have stagnated as well. Visual Studio, C#, Javascript, LESS, Gulp, SQL Server, Git. That's about all I need... No front-end Javascript frameworks, no React, no Angular, no Knockout... just beautiful, clean, vanilla Javascript... and C#.
I can't believe you taught yourself quantum mechanics! I thought for sure that was something only a serious physicist could do. Now that gives me hope in my own potential :)
Lol, no that is actually a mugshot of my ugly face. I swear. And the post is legit. I really did not graduate high school because back in 1999, the internet was exciting and school books were just a waste of my time. And then I got my first job as a web developer, building Flash websites. Exciting times.
I get hired all day, people bang down my door after im hired, and all I do is explain the tools I used each year. I never graduated high school, never went to college, never really built anything that I can show off. I just talk about the tools I use. thats it. www.markentingh.com
omg this guy is on spot. My day job is Magento (hell), but I am absolutely in love with boring ol' C#, along with the new ASP.NET Core framework & Kestrel web server. All of my side projects are built using C#, and I don't use jQuery or Angular or React or Reactive. I use plain old vanilla javascript, because I care about zero HTTP requests & zero bloat & zero BS.
