Mortismal Gaming - Video game reviewer who will review games after getting 100% Steam achievements. The reviews are typically > 20 minutes.
Primarily focuses on RPG/CRPG games but he is very thorough in each review and seems to be quite fair,no hype it's a proper balanced review. Also he has a ton of Divinity Original Sin 2 content.
If you want to watch a video, check out Joe Armstrong (one of the creators of Erlang) talk about concurrency and Erlang[0]. There are a bunch of Erlang/Elixir videos [1] posted by Erlang Solutions on YouTube.
Are you a US citizen? Do you think you can pass a background check? If military and government projects don't bother you than try looking on clearancejobs.com. From what I've seen a lot of big defense contractors looking for engineers just need you to be a citizen, get a clearance and have a pulse. Smaller firms will expect you to actually be capable and you will probably do a couple things across the stack and some dev-ops too.
Have you looked at any part-time/contract work? Maybe that could keep you afloat and activey coding long enough to get a fulltime job.
How much of a jerk is your boss? - of the 7 bosses I have they combine for a low score of 2. All are nice people.
How chaotic is your environment? 10 - Agile doesn't mean 6 week waterfall sprints. Unit tests aren't something you do manually and infrequently.
What have you done that is illegal or unethical that can be used as grounds for firing you? Everyday I stay past 6:00pm but I'm only allowed to be on the property till 6:00pm.
What are you currently doing? Waiting for an IBM source control tool to finish doing something.
What would you like to do instead? Learning Erlang & Elixir
Well just today I called my wife, neither my mic nor the speaker in my phone were working. I couldn't hear the phone ringing and when she picked up we couldn't communicate. She instead called me and everything started to work. I have no clue where the fault lies and it's concerning because what if I was calling 911?
I have a gel mat that is similar to a kitchen standing mat. I forgot what brand it was but it was less than $35 on Amazon. I stand on that without shoes and it's very comfortable. I have a National Public stool to sit on when I need to give my feet a break.
It's important that makers reach out to kids in this community to let them know it’s okay to be creative. It’s not right at all for kids to feel that they have to hide their engineering talent and keep it a secret.
I'm thinking of this as something similar to how OS X releases work. There's a way to get the distribution you need without having to start from OS X 10.0 Cheetah and upgrading all the way.
I’d agree with previous suggestions, either this book or Joe Armstrong’s.
