I see this a lot. A recruiter might message me with nothing but a single sentence l. For example one I got was along the lines of > I have an [Vague job title] position that is looking for experience in [Technology X]…

So I lost my job back last year. I didn’t feel like I immediately needed a new job and I’ve never particularly had difficulty finding one so I figured this time I’d bide my time and see if I could get a job I actually…

I’m curious if anyone has experience getting into graduate programs matter having done an undergrad program online. There are some decent online undergrad degrees nowadays, but when I look at graduate programs they tend…

So say I want to write some software involving a specific domain. Let’s say the particular domain is very math heavy, in particular calculus. The parts of calculus find in upper level undergraduate programs. Now I’ve…

Just curious about this, as I ran into this problem recently. Say I have two bank accounts, both of which are solely mine. I want to move a small amount (say <$1000) a close to instantly as possible, avoiding the time…

So I searched for site on Google, for a couple reasons, I’d rather not disclose the specific site, but it’s been up for years and is typically the first result when you search the sites name. I’ve been to this site many…

I’d kill to ditch my current provider, but the only other provider in my area that offers DOCSIS or fiber broadband appears to be unavailable at my address. I’m curious whether satellite providers are worth looking at.…

I have a few contributions to decently know open source projects I've done. They're pretty minor, but do fix some issues. I'm wondering if its worth putting on my resume. As of right now its pretty bare, with mostly…

Apologize for the clickbaity title, bit it sums out how I've been feeling as of late. I was always told, as I progressed through my career, this would get easier, but it feels to be the exact opposite. It's generally…

My career thus far has been a dud. Always underpaid (and yes, I mean underpaid) and in orgs with bad/outdated practices. I’ve also always just taken the first thing I can get and always have accepted a less than ideal…

I need to get out of development, I fucked my career over and it seems that digging myself out of the hole is going to be nearly as difficult as just doing something else. Unfortunately most other things I find myself…

5 years in and I never expected the job search to get more miserable as I gained more experience. Everyone says the market is great right now and so I’ve begun looking again, but man the jobscape is depressing. I want…

I’m sure most have have of this trope (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4627373) and that’s kinda how I feel right now. A lot of jobs I see at my YoE are senior level and use terms like “domain expert” that I just…

The word “research” tends to evoke ideas of long, expensive academic careers you have to put in until you can be considered qualified for industrial R&D type roles. But security research seems to be orthogonal to many…

Ever since I’ve heard of SmartNICs I’ve imagined all sorts of odd projects to do with them, but obviously they are not generally targeted to consumers. I’ve noticed Nvidia has some at affordable prices ($200-$400 per…

It all seems like information overload. I mean x86 seems like a massive pile of legacy build up with all sorts of strange instructions with weird, niche usages and the advice given is to read a series of multiple…

So i get that infosec is a very broad term, which could mean anything from more business focused roles that focus on ensuring compliance to things like managing network security and appliances, to actively developing…

I recently attempted to my on back to school. Universities wouldn’t take me for a multitude of reasons and I can’t afford Community College (even with in state tuition I’m paying nearly what a 4 year degree would cost…

I have experience, however I haven’t developed much a network, in a few years I’d like to start freelancing. Ideally I’d like to pick up short contracts I can work on to make some side money while I do other things. I…

Do you have to be available for an 8-5 work day like a FTE might or are you generally free to complete the work at any hour / time you wish as long as it’s delivered on time?

The more and more I research going back to school, the more I’m convinced that majority of undergrad online or programs designed to be “accessible” to non traditional, working adults are scams, even from otherwise well…

https://raptorcs.com/content/base/products.html I’ve been extremely curious of these ever since I read about them a few years ago. They seem neat, but are wildly expensive for what seems to be a very uncommon…

Bit of quick background: no education, have worked mostly in lower paying software jobs in a variety of environments (mostly non-tech) I suppose this may be a place to ask as this seems above all, a business oriented…

I’ve been wondering about this lately. Save you’ve been working 5-10 odd years in Domain X and you want to switch and work in Domain Y. They’re completely unrelated, outside the fact that they would both involve…

Just to get things out of the way. I’m not talking about your unaccredited or barely accredited for-profits. Most people here are probably familiar with those. But I’ve been looking at getting my bachelors who’s working…
