Lindner: Sure.
Most tasks have a deadline and other devs depend on your output as well. wow good to know |

Grandlord: True.
Many companies don't do whiteboard interviews. It's straight up project-based.
I think there's a subreddit where companies in that category are listed. Actually what I notice myself this days, is project based interview (within a time frame) |

Lindner: Unfortunately, going by the feedbacks on this thread, a lot of people don't give a damn about it. Most of the applications i sent out without getting a response from recruiters was when I had scanty github contributions.
Thank God for mentors, it changed dramatically. I didn't know there was something called job application package specific to software development roles.
1. Completed github profile with solid contributions (Open source projects inclusive). With links to your email, portfolio, linkedin e.t.c)
2. Professional linkedin profile. Also tailored and well crafted for software development.
3. Resume (Tailored for software development roles). 4. Cover letter (Needless to say it should be tailored to a particular role). 5. I even built a solid Angelist profile. 6. Stackoverflow profile.
"Miraculously", these changed the game for me and saved me from blindly applying to jobs without getting any response. Since then, I've worked at multiple projects and orgs (only US orgs).
Plus my experience, now I get an average of four unsolicited invitatitions from head hunters per month.
The reason for this shalaye is that technical knowledge is not enough. Sadly. Your points are valid. I had an interview last week, and was asked why my github didn't match my years of experience, lol I had to pause. since then I stop applying and now focus on updating my github. |

Lindner: Is this THE SEUN?
Does not necessarily mean everyone on this thread is looking for work though.
Most times I'm on nairaland when I feel like throwing my system through the window or smashing it against the wall out of frustration. Like right now. 15 minutes task has turned to 4 days of bugs from hell. as a working dev, do you get a fixed time to complete a task? |

That person must have really understand a lot of things on the programming language he is writing such as tools library and framework. He has indeed learnt alot, don't 4get he went back to sch during this period. |

tosinhtml: I don't know who is advising you but your love for a particular field alone doesn't justify you going to that field. You have to make sure there are also opportunities before you choose where to focus.
Have you ever browsed LinkedIn jobs or any where and you saw influx of Data science jobs? Or is it sand that you want to be eating after learning data science? Have you ever asked yourself why and how do companies recruit for data science roles?
This is the same reason people choose foolish courses in the University like Sociology or Biz Admin because they like it or their friends told them to do it without any research from their own end.
You will finish learning this data science now and start crying all over NL for jobs. You berra use your head. lol you sound too harsh though |
Programming › Re: Do We Have Female Devs On Nairaland? by Xinjin: 3:11pm On Oct 29, 2021 |
BlackSan: I thought about what airsaylong said and I decided to fully focus on Data science. Well yunno one never stops learning in the Tech industry, I don't want to waste my time anymore. I'm currently learning python, though I'm quite familiar with the fundamentals, functions and methods but I intend to stay on python until I'm able to create personal projects. So you are working as a Data analyst and a developer? I don't get it. No I switch from data science. I personally think there is more opportunity in web dev. |
Programming › Re: Do We Have Female Devs On Nairaland? by Xinjin: 11:09am On Oct 29, 2021 |
BlackSan: I understand your point, although I am currently focused on web dev but I have my reasons. Besides, some of the skills in web dev will be required in Data science but thank you so much for the advice. I'm also a Data Analyst and a fullstack developer(still learning), you could take up Python as your backend if you like data science. But they are two different field. |
Programming › Re: Nice To Have Nairaland Features by Xinjin: 9:06pm On Jun 06, 2021 |
Change is the only thing they say is constant! Even though I agree with some folk above that some features are not necessary, say dark mode, blocking of people like someone said these people are the selling point for Nairaland, some of the most liked comments comes from bigots, and keyboard warriors. I think changing the UI, few buttons, adding some more stylings, beautiful emojis, tags. Wouldn't cause a harm. |
Programming › Re: How Can I Do These On Nairaland? by Xinjin: 3:17pm On Jun 06, 2021 |
1. As a normal user, you can only update the post to have a new content, that even if it hasn't grace fp. Only authorized accounts(moderators) are allow to delete posts. 2. [color=#033099][url]This[/url][/color] is doable, embed your link with nairaland text editor [url] [/url]tag.
3.Don't understand what you mean by quote sources. But I guess quote simply mean copying what someone already say. |

Nice you're working with the powerful Django rest framework
Why did you put the countries/state list in the navigation, it not visible on mobile(why not on the front page)
Why no much styling

Investment › Betting: How I Betted On Opposite Side Of Same Event And Lost Both by Xinjin(op): 5:10pm On Aug 05, 2020 |
In a bid to raise small money for myself during this lockdown, I decided to play football betting online with two bookies.
I played two contrasting bets (under11.5 and over11.5 Corners), either of which must win to gain a return.
I beted on different sides of the same event under11.5 (7, 8, 9, 10, 11, Corners with BetKing) and over11.5 with Nairabet). I was expecting one to enter and to my utter surprise, both games from the two bookies were marked lost pictures below. The match is PSG vs LYON, Cup final played on 31 july 2020. The game ended with 8 corners (after 90minute plus injury time) and 4 more corners were played during 30minutes extra time to make a total of 12 corner. My plight is that why should I bet two contrasting events and lost both? I need your input on this. Cc: mukina2, dominique

Then your css should be
.content { color: orange !important; } This will change every other write-up + the link |
