MySQL on Linux to configure Bunch of Rows in a Table
-
I can do all the technical stuff. I can write PHP, Ruby, Python, JavaScript, HTML, CSS, etc. But no amount of being able to do that lets me make anything that looks good in the least. It's always total crap. Always. Not only is there very little overlap in skills between development and design, but the two are almost always exclusive.

@scottalanmiller The web application I built was with php and mysql. I looked at ruby on rails and did a little bit with it, but what I'm really interested in is node and MongoDB. I have a MEAN stack spun up on digital ocean that I have been learning with.

I'm the odd one I guess haha. Actually the only reason I got into technology at all was because growing up we didn't have a lot of money growing up. so to get anything electronic at all it usually came from goodwill. Most of the time it ended up being broken. I'd usually spend a long time on it until I could fix whatever it was. Then eventually people would give me their broken computers. Which at the time was Packard Bells which I guess would have been DOS or some proprietary os. and also Tandy's that read data from normal audio cassette tapes.

@DonutDetroyer destroyer is a creative type too that also does IT. But yes, you are both odd

I did PHP / MySQL in the old days. Definitely prefer the more modern Ruby and Node mentalities.

Quixotic is primarily a MEAN shop now. It is a transition for us as no one came from a MEAN background. @QuixoticAndy is principle engineer and came from a C# background. But we are making the transition and loving the technology.

Definitely love Ruby and Node. I figured it would be good to have some PHP / MySQL experience because of the amount of jobs in my area.

Your senior just "asked you to develop software?" How does he expect you to do that? What if he asked you to write a song or build a car?
Have you hear some of the pop music these days? Writing a song actually shouldn't be that hard.

No amount of IT experience prepares you to be a developer. It's a different job, a different range of skills.
True that. You'll also run into many developers who can't do simple things like install software or configure IP settings on their computer, etc. Two very different fields.
