Anyone here work as a software developer?
I'm looking for a career change away from finance but I don't want to take a big pay cut. I'm currently making about $30 an hour.
I'm pretty sure I could get an entry level position. What is a reasonable salary? How rapidly for people generally move up? Do you actually like it?

Software dev here making $35/hr with 5 years experience. It really depends on the company and if they have spots open to move into. If you're smart and know your shit, you will move up fast, but that comes with more responsibility which comes with more stress and getting shit done put on your plate.
But it's a great career, can be super comfy if you find the right role and it's not going anywhere anytime soon

Thanks for answering.
Do you ever develop anything on the side?
That's another reason I wanted to get into it too. I'd like to work for myself at some point. My current skills don't translate over to anything.

I'm an intern and I make 24$ per hour this summer after 3 years of CS, got a year of school left. 30$ is definitely a reasonable starting salary if that's what you're looking for.

Hey /g/,
What's it like to work at a computer store? What's the bare minimum of tech literacy needed to sell and operate effectively?
I ask because I am looking for a job and saw the local computer store is hiring, I am just unsure if I'm a big enough computer geek. Sure I browse /g/ and care about developments in computer hardware but just wondering if I'll get laughed out if I don't know about the latest soundcards or routers.

>tl;dr: it's LTT the store ethics
I knew a few people who worked at a Micro Center. Basically, it's not about the computer parts at all, and you will get mad super-fast because stores like this just relied on getting money than promoting sensible computer practice
You're gonna hate it once these computer stores want you to push shit Intel chips and leftover house fires

>>60802313
You don't need to know shit about shit if it's a retail chain. They will train you on what they want you to sell and give you buzzwords with which to sell them with. Shit when I worked for Best Buy they told us "sell to the customers needs" but apparently every single person needed a $2000 laptop to email their grandkids and use facebook.
>>
>>60802808
I wish I had a Microcenter near me. They're so much cheaper than best buy and I hate ordering things and waiting 2 or 3 days.
why doesnt linux cost anything???? not storage or bandwidth too???

SAS HBAs with SFF-8087-to-4x-SATA breakout cables. Those are pretty cheap, actually, the large number of giant drives you'll need will be more expensive.
Remember to use ZFS or Btrfs with proper redundancy. You wouldn't want one drive being a bit flaky to take out 64TB of stuff.

You obviously use a SAS card like a real man

What do? Can I remap the shift key to the up arrow? I like the machine a lot and would like to find a solution, opposed to returning it.

So, I accidentally plugged my mic into my sound card's line in, and my PC BSOD'd after a DPC Watchdog violation error. Upon restarting, Windows won't recognize the sound card (doesn't show up at all) and attempting to install the drivers for the card just yields an error message that my sound card was not detected.
I can't think of this damaging the hardware somehow, so does anyone here have any idea what happened, and how I could fix it? Working on a few things now, but any help would be much appreciated.
My sound card is the following:

Just Snagged an old 2007 MacBook pro off of eBay for 50$, it works fine, but the OS is so outdated and useless with anything internet related. There is also a password already attached to it. Is my best bet just a factory reset? Or should I use it as a cup holder?

Wrong.
t. Mac OS X Tiger user
>password
If it's a firmware password I believe you can get past that by removing the PRAM battery, if you just mean the account on the OS has a password, there are multiple ways around that that you can easily find by using your search engine of choice.

If it is to the user account you can still use the computer, it is to the EFI/boot you basically got a $50 paperweight.
