Friendly reminder: we often overcomplicate our work and forget to appreciate life's simple pleasures. No fancy setup or powerful computers are needed to get the job done. Sometimes, less really is more.
I'm going to send out another round of applications this week so I figured I'd check with my network as well.
I would really love a security engineer role or really anything dealing with #infosec. Alternatively, I'm also looking for a senior #developer or #devops role. My resume is on my website if that helps: https://hobbsc.sdf-us.org
What happens if your development team is hit by a bus? How to increase a low Bus Factor score
"The Bus Factor score is an estimation of people who are so vital to your project that without them it will stall. If those people disappeared from the project for any reason (like an "accident" or even taking holiday, got fired, or left the project), no one would be able to maintain the project."
What are some IT and Infosec superstitions you see out there?
Im talking about those things you see people do or refrain from doing not hecause they have a good reason to but because they believe something bad will happen if they do or dont do the thing.
Maybe theres a ritual someone does before commiting code. Or perhaps someone says 'dont patch on a friday'
What supersitions do you see out there? Do YOU have any youd like to admit to?
If I plan to do both various kinds of development (Swift, Node and maybe C++, Rust and/or Kotlin), what is the best way to set up a Mac for development?
XCode alone is my biggest confusion here. Not only are there many ways to install XCode itself, but many non-Swift developer tools seem to be dependent on either XCode itself or XCode Command Line tools.
For example, certain Node-projects that call into native code needs some kind of access to LLVM (as does Rust), and that is connected to XCode somehow.
I’ve got a fresh Mac (Mini M2 Pro) and I want to set it up in a clean way from the get go!
One of the disadvantages of being a solo entrepreneur in software: after 6 hours of emails and unplanned customer support, I can finally start to code.
I mentioned the other day about finding #Perl developers. We're still looking. If you fancy working for one of the oldest Tech news sites in the world why not take a look?
(Maybe if we get enough people we might get some kind of ActivityPub integration in place. It's not high on the ToDo list just yet).
@UkiahSmith@scimon Almost everything I’ve ever done has started with learning on the job.* A #developer’s greatest skill is the ability to rapidly adapt and learn new skills. I wish bullet-point #recruiters understood that.
I taught myself #BASIC in the 1980s, later had high school classes in BASIC and #Pascal, Pascal and #HyperCard in college in the 90s, and #Csharp when I went back to finish my degree about ten years ago.
I just wrote a simple web server in pure V that has very tight memory usage, is extremely stable, and holds up really well to a large number of connections.
I'm building on top of it to make a convenient standalone web server and then use that to make a web framework.
Time for an #Introduction because I've been putting it off for so long.
I'm an ex #Developer who got burned out and decided to pivot to something else. I've set my sights on #InfoSec and its been an amazing journey so far! #CyberSecurity and #Privacy have always interested me and I don't know why it took me so long to focus on it 🤷
Aside from infosec I'm also into #Reading (Bookwyrm reveal coming soon?) And #Film
Think thats all for now, fuck fascists and have a good day friends 💜
A useful new page on Microsoft Learn, Microsoft Cloud for Developers, to learn how to integrate services across the Microsoft Cloud with tutorials, videos, code samples, documentation and more.
The tutorial demands (gently suggests) an #introduction and who am I to not give it one, even though I finished everything and came back to post later.
I am Terrorskull, clearly, and I am new to #calckey. I have been on #Mastodon for about a year but decided I should check out what else the #Fediverse has to offer. For now, at least, this will be my backup account to @terrorskull, but I still plan to post here from time to time. The web interface seems significantly better, dare I say... modern!
This concludes my introduction. Thank you for reading. Feel free to follow me here and/or on my @terrorskull account for random musings and sharing/boosts of various science and gaming related information.
Before I forget, the required cat photo is included, as a cat photo is always required for an introduction.
