-- $12 / hour

Lol just like I remember them

My script generated a whopping 32 KLOC. I should make it all mysterious so that the build script just reads on the files and creates the tables without emitting any of it to files, but I'd rather go with clarity at the moment.

It is interesting to note that each time I discover a way to automate, I find a little other thing I can automate, but I don't know how yet. In a perfect world, I would have a data file that feeds the arguments into bash. I'm sure that this can be done, but I haven't learned how to yet.

So, something like this:

then

$ ??? data-file

Anything offering under $20 an hour or less than 55k a year is an auto-skip. The average wage for junior developers is high 50s. Assuming full-time employee which in my state is 40 hours per week (which also seems to be the norm anyway), that would put a full-time worker who is paid by the hour at $27 an hour.

If they'd let me use emacs, I'd me more than happy to work on a Prolog and Scheme web stack on a Hostgator shared server regardless of the pay.

Can't you just create a file in that format? Then you have your script read the meta-file one line at a time and do whatever you're doing now in a loop.

Today I learnt that ASP.NET Web API does not allow POST methods with more than one parameter. Where by "does not allow" I mean that you can certainly write them and they compile but trying to call them with a normal POST request results in a 404. However if you make a POST and put the parameters in the querystring rather than the post data, all is forgiven and Web API happily executes the method. This led to me spending like 4 hours tearing my hair out over why Swagger (an API documentation/testing package) could execute the method and my testing project couldn't. **** you, Microsoft.

Gullanian,

Thanks for the reply. It's definitely not a start up and growing to be a very large site is probably very unlikely, so I agree that the cheapest option is best to start with. I was a bit curious about performance metrics though, but I think I'll cross that bridge if I come to it. I think I will go with linode, as I've read many posts on different forums saying they are top notch.




daveT,


I'm assuming that is in the States? I'm completely new to web dev but that hourly rate seems laughably low even to me. What rate should a web dev with an extensive amount of experience like that command?


edit: Sorry, I just now saw Craggo's reply. Cheers!

I just wasted like 5h trying to get bootstrap configured as a webjar dependency, but Tomcat straight up refuses to serve the fonts / glyphicons. Everything else works. Any hints?

(Stackoverflow suggests defining mime-mappings for the font files in web.xml, didn't help though.)

I like how they list the IDE requirements twice. They want to make sure you know NetBeans.

I thought he was just parodying bad job postings?

https://losangeles.craigslist.org/la...894818972.html

Looks like an awesome job lol

It never crossed my mind until I read your reply but now the link has been posted to craigslist. It's definitely one of the more crazy ones I've seen.

This is just incredible.

Edit1:

I submitted this link to hacker news - upvote please! This deserves more ridicule.

Edit2:

I haven't looked at any kind of craigslist listings anymore so I guess it's possible stuff like this is fairly routine and not noteworthy?

What do you guys feel about GitHub vs BitBucket for private/internal repositories?

Upvoted - that's awesome.

Can we rule out daveT?

This is especially lol for the specific IDEs, prolog, scheme and drracket but a large number of job postings for what are clearly front end php/cms type jobs list java and c++. But $12 is above minimum wage so I guess they're looking for a real expert.

GitHub doesn't offer free private repos, so if that's important I'd go with BitBucket.

I've never used BitBucket, but I love almost everything about GitHub so I'd vote for GitHub unless there's some crazy good feature BitBucket has that GitHub doesn't.

No, absolutely not. It's always a possibility that lurks in the shadows of every post.

Also I wouldn't feel bad about using bitbucket for private repos. I'd use github if I already had a paid account though, the UI is much better IMO.

candybar reaping mad HN karma

Yup, thanks to you, I can downvote people now!

I can almost make a poll 😑

though I did once get the top post on reddit /r/all by stealing something I saw here so I guess that evens out.

I saw that on HN earlier lol didn't realize candybar posted it

Its gone now tho I think, did it get moderated?

edit: found it, still there but somehow lagging to page 3 for me, HN has a weird ranking algo
