Re: Any Software Engineers in the TA community?

Is there a pedo joke lurking somewhere there? I'm way too caffeinated to actually focus on finding it.

What have you learned so far? If you really are interested, try getting an internship somewhere to see if that's the kind of thing you'd like to do � just don't expect to be doing the most interesting stuff there first thing.

If you're serious about it, it's kind of a bumpy road Most programming jobs are nothing I'd call fun or creative, unless you get really lucky and actually get to work on something interesting, not Java backends or similar crap.

Somewhat true, too. Whether you take it as a negative or a positive thing is up to you. This is what I consider the biggest pro. It's interesting.

One big con is that you'll be either sitting on your ass or standing still for many, many hours every day. I'd really love to combine two jobs, where I could work my current job every other week, and do something physical the other.

Touche.

I also work in a BI department.

Work is work.

It doesn't matter what type of office work you do it's all the same.

the employee dynamic is always going to be what it is.

there are plenty of stupid people in IT departments just like there are plenty of stupid people in customer service departments.

as long as you are smart and capable and work for a company that appreciates it's employees its a good situation.

The software engineers I relate to know how to manipulate memory addresses using assembly language, or using a drawing board with a simple stack or queue--using a few adders and multipliers. They understand computational complexity; logic synthesis; predicate calculus. They Use BDD and ROBDD aswell as Acyclic and cyclic directed graphs aimed at algorithmic optimization...of every system or decision making endeavor they ever encounter. They understand Shannon Expansions; Forests and Trees.

See Software Engineering is not front end UI/UX whatever the fuck those soft tech idiots in SOMA are working on...web development is not Programming.

A real software engineer is proficient with c# and .NET. He can build his own c/c++ libraries and call upon them using a hierarchy of modules. The software engineers I know, can implement exotic Singleton patterns aswell as dependency injection. They know about co-routines and routines to balance the payload. They know how to obfuscate code.

You are simple a bottom feeder.

And there you have your biggest con, I think: people who never really passed their Dunning-Kruger phase are pretty abundant in software.

Mate, read my post again.

Hey guys, went away to SF this weekend. I had a free night at my preferred hotel.

Back in the valley, coding again. Check out this article

If you are talented, ambitious, and a bit artistic or passionate, move to the Bay Area. Pack up, eat noodles for a few months, leave your honky town and join this vibrant community. Your race or gender is irrelevant here.

Hopefully you still have water in 5 years and are able to afford the rapidly, exorbitantly inflating costs of living.

Have fun!

Originally posted by Frenkieee I don't really think I want to be working with them, no, because I don't think my work ethic will be as good with them as it is without them. But I'd like to be able to ogle them strutting around the department, or in the cafeteria I don't go to trance/techno parties anymore, mostly disco and deephouse parties. And let me tell you.. hot girls are the rule

This whole comment is so incredibly gross, congratulations.

Originally posted by r5a yup. i work in IT as a support engineer fixing networks and servers. i dont think ive ever seen a chick working in a datacenter or near IT. unless it was sales. sales IT bitches can get it

Oh wow another horrid individual.

You're welcomed, America. Someone has to do all the work for the rest of you.

Weren't you really big on Texas recently as well?

Remember, my fellow goblins, that you can use c# f# and your .Net .ADO libraries on a Unix Darwin running OSX. I went to Microsoft for a meetup the other day, and there's just a pool of opportunities for professional .Net software engineers.

Stand on the Shoulders of Giants

So is your face

tell me that girls working in sales usually aren't hot just so i know you're full of shit like most times.

.... how?!?!? im not some sexist pig

I was trying to delete that and quote Frenkie or w/e and just forgot to do it lol.

There's an eery feeling to loading up the Terminal, Firing up the EC2 Cluster and launching Ubuntu every morning. It's almost...godlike.

For fun I'm working on a SystemC Haskell Library of dependencies to model bulk topological Ofets.

Which brings me to my other point, learn Regular Expressions, Lambdas, and any LISP language you can get your hands on. Do it in your spare time, open a git or code bucket but familiarize yourself with command lines and emacs.

While you're at it, read this:

Just remember, this is a Science which was partially given to us by a much more advanced civilization. We won't get to understand everything, but let's focus on the bottlenecks that are easier and then we re-route everything and build something new and unexpected.

Your ability to spew buzzwords in order to sound in-the-know is amazing.

I bet you transform cross-media experiences and leverage one-to-one vortals. Just rememember to embrace viral experiences while empowering user-centric infrastructures and growing bricks-and-clicks infrastructures.

But guys, do you even do Machine Learning?

I do and do it only on the server side. For those who don't believe 0010 1110 0001 1111. Roughly translates 'What up niggah'

C#, O-O, Python, Assemblers, Cobalt...

I compile code in my head for fun
