turbopuns3 11/22/19 1:09:29 PM #15:	I've been a dev at my current place of work for 2.5 years, but I've been at the company for 6 years total. Worked 1 year on the support team and then 2.5 years in a weirdly specific data conversion role. Our team has about 16 devs and about 10 qa, a few product owners and scrum masters, two dev managers (one more of a lead architect and the other more of the clerical/personnel side of things). A majority of our work is B2B (our clients are generally businesses, not consumers). At any given time we have about 7 or 8 products being worked on at a time (generally 2-3 devs and 1 qa on a team), so it stays busy. We've sometimes had as many as 15 production releases in a single day. We do a lot of ETL work (putting square pegs in round holes) so it's a good environment for inexperienced/junior devs to get a foothold on the professional world because there's plenty of work to do that's simple to wrap your head around ("we need to take records from this database and make it look different and then put it into that other database"). But then of course when need it all to scale to handle tens of thousands of clients and process terabytes of data every day, you need some architects who know their stuff. <cite>turbopuns3 posted [p:930532789] in Software d...

The majority of our code is C# so that's what I know best by a long shot. I've messed around in Python before but the amount of experience is so vastly different that I can't really fairly say.

Press F12 right now (or whatever open the dev tools) and start writing scripts and messing with stuff. Make a script that dynamically searches any topic for messages containing "foolmo" or "ulti" and deletes them. Or recreate that script that turns all the divs on a page into physical objects that fall down and can be pushed around by the mouse. Just starting on any little thing will unleash the floodgates of ideas and then it's hard not to work on something and get more and more into it. --- _foolmo_ 2 + 2 = 4 <cite>foolm0r0n posted [p:930576116] in Software d...
