  • Only way to get hired with your credentials is with some serious networking. In your local area, look for code/tech meetups and talk with people. Look for “Code and Coffee” on meetup or facebook or something (though I must warn against caffeine consumption for teenagers!). You’ll most likely have to look for an internship rather than a Junior Dev position at first, which is typically the pipeline that companies use to hire Jr Engineers.

    Another option is to look for “Tier 3 support” or “Integrations engineers”. Often, companies will look for people with minor coding skills to work directly with clients to help implement the company product for the client (for example, adding some custom widget to their wordpress site, new features for their salesforce instance, etc.)

    These engineers don’t create the company product but they do get some experience scripting things and often they can use this position to transition to a full time engineering role. In my experience, these roles have far lower requirements to entry





  • The car runs fine, I don’t have any major complaints other than the stupid ass touch screen controls for stuff like air conditioning, but it seems hard to find any car that has real controls anymore.

    I also moved to a city (from the suburbs) and work remotely so I don’t drive as much as I used to

    I don’t know what current car interest rates are. I can tell you that the federal reserve has not changed interest rates in a meaningful way since then








  • Perhaps the only thing she ever contributed of value to literature was Anthem, which is the archetype for the young adult post-apocalyptic fantasy novel. However, the prose is so strained; every pronoun in “we” or “us” and nobody has names so she names a woman with blonde hair “The Golden One” like she’s some kind of “chosen one” prophet.

    Still, I think it would make an excellent basis for other stories if you just let the MC go back to collectivist town and blast the council away with some gun he found in the ruins or something
