If you have to apply to 250+ jobs just to get one, you can't invest much effort into each application.

I've been a part-time developer for three years (and worked full-time on top of that), and I'm looking for a full-time position. I gave up on tech after applying to 500+ jobs and getting three interviews and zero offers. The closest I got was a consulting outfit in a small city in the Inland North, where one of the interviewers got hostile about my major (philosophy) and eventually rejected me over it.

But even now that I'm only applying for positions that just need warm bodies with degrees, my ratio of applications to phone screens is upwards of twenty to one, and every phone screen I've gotten in the last month has rescheduled last-minute on me, sometimes more than once. And I have to put up with shit like getting rejected at the door because the interviewer doesn't like my [perfectly ordinary and unremarkable] shoes.

How in the world am I supposed to find the time to put effort into applying for hundreds of jobs?

There are a few projects that try and address this. The issue for 99% of the population is that you need to run it yourself (read run a server) or know someone who does.

You could go the p2p route (I'm thinking Torrents + magnet links kind of decentralised) so you just run a client and connect to the network.

Of course this then leads to the problem that users would have to backup their data (which they don't) and be online to participate with no real capacity for offline comms. Which leads back to needing to running a server of some kind.

I hadn't seen that before, cheers it was an interesting read. I really want to believe that my mind still can't dismiss acknowledging that there is always a possibility they have undisclosed back doors, it's just a matter of what it takes for them to disclose it. As more time goes by my thoughts on that possibility lower though, as more people are exposed to the code as a potential outsider/doesn't agree with the practice.

But those are controversial ideas that are not part of the reverence around Dr King. The conventional wisdom about Dr King is that he inspired an entire movement to universally take the high road and protest with nonviolence. In this sense, he is seen as pure.

The same holds true for Jesus Christ. It's just as likely he was objectively a flawed person in reality, and has been lionized by his supporters.
This is not only a PR disaster waiting to happen but probably illegal in most jurisdictions.
In many ways EV fires are easier (gas or gas vapors from a ruptured tank can flow quite a ways away from the vehicle, potentially unnoticed, before igniting; batteries don't tend to flow well...). It's just water, water, and more water...

Tesla in particular is actually quite good about providing training materials for dealing with their vehicles, including facilitating the production of some excellent videos on hazards during extrication.

As well as the standard safety manuals car manufacturers provide (though Tesla makes their especially easy to access).

Job interviewers fear being mislead by people telling them what they want to hear, so they will often look for provable actions and demonstrable knowledge, rather than claims.

If someone tells me they're passionate about embedded electronics, I'll ask what they've worked with - arduino?
raspberry pi? esp8266? atmel? pic? mbed? - and what they've done with it.

If they haven't used any of them, or they've barely used them, are they really passionate?

I would like someone who loves their work so much they do 150% of the expected amount of work, freely chooses to stay late to make the Foo they're working on the best Foo the world has ever seen. Someone I can promote, and trust with more responsibility and less supervision.

But I'll tolerate someone who does 75% of the expected amount of work, because I'm realistic about the hiring market.
Or to put it another way. Why is the guy running a car company busy putting rockets into space?
They are a senior engineer... in their specific scope.

These levels are not exactly transferable necessarily.

Do object oriented programming. On the way you'll create systems of objects and with ongoing experience you'll also learn to move the abstraction layer around.

I think while doing this for some time it's a little easier to think about other (real world) problems as systems and you may find parallels between software development and this real world.

> .NET doesn't have heap interior pointers (today), but that doesn't matter for this argument.

I think it matters for this argument.

You are arguing that designing a garbage collector which is concurrent, low latency (pauses < 5 ms), compacting, generational, and supports interior pointers, is easy.

You mentioned C#/.NET as an example, but C# doesn't have interior pointers (from heap to heap, not from stack to heap which is possible).

As far as I know, neither Java, .NET, Go, Haskell, OCaml, D, V8 or Erlang satisfies all these requirements at the same time.

I'm not saying it's impossible, and Ian Lance Taylor in the thread I linked earlier is not saying either. I'm just saying it's certainly hard.

If it would be so easy, then most languages would already have interior pointers and a concurrent, low latency, compacting, generational GC. That's the whole difference between "today" (as in your comment) and "tomorrow".

Where are the hipsters in this thread? Fine, I'll be the hipster.

I've worked on pure PHP, Flask, Pyramid, Django, Laravel stacks, and I haven't warmed up to any of those. I'm in the vocal minority that says Django made me hate Python.

So here's my stack for 2018: Elixir+Phoenix on the backend, GraphQL as API protocol, React (and Typescript?) on the frontend.

Functional and immutable language on the backend + functionally-inspired data flow on the front end? Yes, please.

Now, if I could have monadic constructs and better typing on Elixir I'd be in heaven.

Huh, what does this have to do with the outcome of a war? That would imply that someone can win a war by caring about the planet. Also, caring about climate change does not necessarily have a strong correlation with views on war.

Apart of that, generations have passed since then. The majority of people alive now were born after the war, so shift in mindset is not too surprising.

All our Citroen cars NEVER showed any sign of rust. Our BX was 15 years old, when the hydro-pneumatic system fell apart. Citroen are known for excellent attention to corrosion protection on essential parts. I know a BX nearby from that era (must now be ~30 years old) that seems to be flawless.

Our VW Golf IV we currently own has had almost no exposure to the winter in his 17 years, apart from the last 2-3 years. He began rusting badly last winter, this will unfortunately end very soon.

High mileage German cars are available (I can only speak for middle Europe), because they have extraordinary value degradation (in terms of slow degradation), i.e. people still want them, because they are supposedly longer lasting, and supposedly better quality.

Maintenance statistics speaks otherwise. And god repairs on VWs are expensive. Just a new key fob is easily 5x as expensive as on a Citroen!

Edit: This blog-post [1] would indicate that my information is no longer valid. But then there is this post as well [2], which could be due to individual maintenance costs being higher for "luxury brands". Needs more research.
