If you're looking for a job, I'd give ThoughtWorks (http://www.thoughtworks.com/) a try. They are a very unique company, very open and very inclusive.

Be aware of scams. If you find apartments listed at a price similar to this, it's likely a scam. Never pay deposit upfront without actually visiting the unit.

Awesome. The only thing that really matters is to have a convention, and tabs has been the accepted convention in the Go community since forever.

Changing go fmt to enforce the convention is simply making sure that people write code the same and frees the developers from the tireless discussion about which one is better. That alone outweigh any disadvantage of choosing one or the other.

I can't find a link to the actual project on the article. Is it just me? lol

The article mentions that they are still working on getting a release together.

Ah, apparently I overlooked that multiple times. Thanks :)

A quick Google turned up a repository on Sourceforge: http://sourceforge.net/projects/loggerfs/

Started in 2007, last update in 2013. Not sure if it's the same thing, but the description is similar:

> LoggerFS is a fuse-based virtual file system that allows you to store log files from apache, syslog and more directly in a database instead of a regular file.

Another commenter upthread[0] said that was his project, same name and same idea.

> I actually wrote exactly the same thing years ago (2007), even had the same name :)

"For now, we’re polishing the code and writing tests to prepare an initial open source release of LoggerFS."

A lot of people already mentioned the problems with your resume, so I won't mention that again.

Where are you located? I haven't worked w/ PHP for 8 years and I'm really not sure what the market looks like but learning other newer technologies such as Rails could potentially make a much big market available to you.

I know in the Bay Area, Jr Rails engineers are in super high demand.

He's located near Salt Lake City, Utah.

He's also a Ruby on rails developer looking at his resume: resume.patrickcurl.com

I am a PHP developer currently, and I don't mind switch over between languages (Java/Python/Ruby), but I do think that the market is bigger for PHP developers vs Ruby. (not sure about the bay area although, it could be different there).

"Imagine coming to work to spend hours googling, wiring together unbelievably shitty, amazingly poor documented frameworks and battling Javscript and CSS."

That's definitely not a software engineer routine. Engineers craft/architect solutions instead of "wiring shit together". Of course, being able to re-use existing stuff is part of the job but if your job is wiring things together, specially if you do not know how those things work, you're not a software engineer.

That said, there are different software engineering gigs with different level of difficulties and solving different kind of problems. I like the advice of specializing, getting into more computer science, but that's still software engineering.

Don't get fooled just because the market is full of shitty web development gigs, that's a small portion of "software engineering".
