I've been daydreaming recently about escaping the web / app development field as it just isn't appealing to me. I've been interested in other subfields for years, but it seems that web development is the only real…

I currently work doing the typical line of business web app development and I'm so disallusioned with it. Web development (and really business app development period) just bores me and I feel like I'm just doing…

To spare you the details, I've found myself in a bit of financial trouble and while I have plans to fix it, I could speed up the process by utilizing the boatloads of free time I have particularly on weekends to make…

I'm looking for a good library fro making HTTP requests in PHP. Ideally, something that comes with support for mocking. A quick google brings up some options, but many of them seem outdated or maintained.

A few weeks ago, I was getting no sleep. I was putting overtime every week working third shift and it was terrible for my mental health. Now I'm working three different jobs and going to school, all of which are…

I'm wondering if there is anything I can do to make it better. I'm still early in my career and don't have a huge network, but still feel like there might be something missing. https://www.linkedin.com/in/jamesmp98/

I'm looking for some sort of document where I can see trends in the tech industry and jobs per state. For example, I'd like to know how big the industry is, is it growing, what kind of jobs are most in demand. Is there…

How is Symfony going these days. Is it still a big player in PHP Frameworks, or has Laravel completely taken over?

I generally like Jetbrains tooling, and wondered if anyone's used their PHP IDE and what your thoughts are compared to other IDE's and using just an editor / command line flow.

So, I've been trying to get a developer job for months now, but just can't do it. I lack a degree, but have about two years of freelance work behind me. I've been looking all over the U.S. and at first, got some leads,…

I am having serious trouble finding a job right now, and feel that among a number of other things, my resume could use a professional re-write. Does anyone have any good experience with resume writing services? What do…

I've heard about and seen a lot of them but I' wondering if anyone has any recommendations.

Pretty much since I don't have a degree they want 8 years of experience. I can only claim 5-6 if I count my years as a hobbyist and learner (and that's pushing it). Should I still apply. It is a junior position and all…

Since Adobe decided to make a free version of CF but not CF builder.

Currently considering taking an SSRS course and was just wondering.

For example I'm looking at a developer / analyst job (entry level) that's rather niche. I fit many requirements, but the job posting asks for experience in super specific software (Rockwell Factory Talk Production…

I've been a hobbyist developers for about 6 years now, however, lacking a degree, it seems impossible to get into software development. The only "experience" I have is about 2 years of doing freelance work where I did…

I have a distant wish to do software consulting for companies focusing on security and enterprise modernization, but have always wondered how such an agency would connect and sell themselves to mid-large companies? Any…

I was wondering because from what I see, the tech industry here sucks compared to where I was before (Georgia) and was curious if anyone else was marooned here and if you work in the tech industry.

Specifically if your not in a huge city like San Francisco.

By no "experience", I mean I did some stuff, but it was just freelance and probably not resume worthy.
