Networking at pubs?

[Kurzon]

What it means is that in professional forums we are polite and (usually) helpful.

General is where we kill time posting rubbish or taking the Mickey out of each other. We don't need to be polite so I can call Someone a clueless wet behind the ears useless wannabe f**kwit if I want to.

Kurzon you are a clueless wet behind the ears useless wannabe f**kwit.

Now go and use milkround and other similar sites build up a cv with a few success stories and come back here in 8 years when you can walk the walk and have a reputation that proves it

Thanks - I ended up following your advice after all.

You're over 6 months too early.

And it look like the main skill you've learned in that time is making coffee.

Skills and experience cover:

- Setting up servers from scratch on cloud infrastructure platforms e.g. Digital Ocean (also some AWS). CDNs, firewalls, managed DB cluster, backups etc.
- Using CI tools e.g. CircleCI to setup build pipelines and automate deployments i.e. PRs on branches of GitHub repos trigger web hook to Slack channel notification and also deploy the code to the servers.
- Repeat above process for development environment and production environment
- PHP frameworks, e.g. Laravel, API development, back-end work, JWT, OAuth 2 etc.
- MySQL databases, managed DB cluster
- Some javascript and libraries e.g. VueJS and Angular, but I hate front-end work...

I wanna get into AWS more, terraform, cloud formation, Ansible etc. so that I can just save time and automate the whole damn thing because it's very tedious managing servers and spinning up new ones and configuring them.

I haven't bothered to update my signature. I'll just leave it there. I finally understand what everyone else was going on about and I cringe at my posts.

I have also done both contracting and perm work, so I'm familiar with both. I've gone the LTD (this was very scary for me thrown in the deep end, looking back) and also Umbrella route - but last couple years it's been perm. I'm currently applying for other roles. Most of my roles have been as senior PHP dev (APIs and back-end focused apps usually).

If only other posters here displayed such a level of self awareness.

Worth resurrecting the thread if only for this absolute corker from doodab (RIP):

EDIT: I don't see any Warning thread here??

Most of them are, albeit in a dried head on a pole kind of way.

If all posters displayed such a level of self-awareness, there would be no cretins to mock and that would make CUK a very sad place.
