MNG Posted January 9, 2014 Share Posted January 9, 2014 Yes this is my first thread in the Chit Chat section I know i'm such an bad ass. :D Back to the point....... I have been on this forum for sometime now not much as others but I scheme around a lot like a ninja shh...... In case many of you haven't notice I am Matt a Developer/Designer my skills for developing is an ummmm is a 4 out of 10 yes I know that's not good but my designing skills are at least a 6.5 or 7 I don't really know but nothing less. As it is 2014 I barely know anyone here. I have chatted with Sniko for the first time and what a nice guy and maybe bumped heads with a few members here on a few games. I also talked to Urbanmafia and Rockwood in the past but not sure where they are atm. But the point of this thread is to post your name and what you do or something I don't care what you post I just want to know something.

Lithium Posted January 9, 2014 Share Posted January 9, 2014 But the point of this thread is to post your name and what you do or something I don't care what you post I just want to know something.

SRB Posted January 9, 2014 Share Posted January 9, 2014 I'm Luke, as most know here. I used to work for a company building the back-end to a dealer management system, but was glad to leave, for the following reasons; 1. They still used COBOL and had no desire to update their program to any of the C variations - old school! 2. They used in-line HTML in their front end and didn't wish to change 3. Their PHP version was about 2.6, so no new functionality would work -- no progress on knowledge! 4. The system of giving work left a lot to be desired ** 5. Pay was below par for the amount of crap you had to deal with. ** The manager would pass work down to me, which I would do and all would work correctly. I then had to give the work to the "senior" developer, who was a COBOL programmer with little understanding of the PHP/JavaScript I'd wrote, so would take parts out and edit bits. End result would be my edited work going live and me being given the bollocking as it didn't work like it did when I wrote it. Apparently the "senior" developer changing code, was not enough reason for me not to get the bollocking - ugh! I now work for Cambridge Satchel, doing leather cutting. While this is a drastic move away from programming, it's a blessing to be doing something different as working with computers for the best part of 10 years, was increasingly becoming annoying. Enough about me - who has the beer? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't realise they were a legit company, I thought it was just a random advert. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spikereloaded Posted January 9, 2014 Share Posted January 9, 2014 get ready for this one....no death threats please...I'm a social worker full time but like to forget about all that by improving my back end (code...not ass) knowledge. Enjoy working with PHP but looking to start learning a new language as would like to try my hand at some app programming. Contribute here on the odd occasion but mainly just hide in the shadows!

SRB Posted January 10, 2014 Share Posted January 10, 2014 Wait, wasn't that the company that was on the Google Chrome advert on TV a while back? I didn't realise they were a legit company, I thought it was just a random advert. Indeed it was. Google ran an ad campaign on them. Definitely a legit company :P Ironically -- google would have held the answer to that also :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
