    No you do not, he is an anomaly as far as I'm concerned. I also am a hiring manager and have interviewed more developers than I can count and every company I have ever worked for couldn't care less about your degree. We have an initial tech screening over the phone, if we are satisfied with that...

    The degree is to make the HR dept. at whatever company is hiring you feel warm and fuzzy inside. Most development shops couldn't care less about your degree. They want to tech you out and see what you know. At my last job of the 3 development team managers one had a degree in marine biology, one...

    The funny thing about software development is you definitely do not need a formal education on the subject. Most universities teach dated, legacy technology and a vast amount of the things you do will never be used in the real world. Ever. What takes an entire semester in a classroom setting can...

    You'll still need to know SQL because SQL is more than just CRUD operations. Things like Entity Framework make working with SQL databases way easier but you still need to know SQL. Knowing how to write a stored procedure, create views, table functions, how to join properly so your data is...

    There is no reason to learn a scripting language before you jump into OOP. A book like Head First Java will have you off and running and understanding basic OOP principles and even get you to the point (by the end of the book) where you have a firm grasp of a lot of the functionality of the Java...

    Web development is one of the more saturated markets for software work because that's what everyone who wants to be a developer thinks they want to do. If it's what you really want to do then by all means go for it but there is a lot of competition and you will have to set yourself apart to make...

    Do you think you might like integrating disparate systems? Do you know/have any interest in XML and service oriented architectures? The reason I ask is because integration systems software development is one of the most lucrative software development fields to get into and the job market is wide...

    Beginner/casual golf clubs?

    Mizuno has always made nice clubs but the prices have come up a bit recently. Though the new Callaway iron sets are ridiculously overpriced. I'm in CT, there was snow on the ground. When the range is open the demo days are done outside but in this case it was just a special winter demo at the...

    Bodyguard and Retaliatory Webbing and the 5% chance to deal high damage every 30 seconds skills are pretty good. Everything else is kind of underwhelming. They want us to pay 600 splinters for these? That's ridiculous.

    Beginner/casual golf clubs?

    I know this is the beginner/casual golf club thread but I didn't feel like creating a new one. I demoed the new Callaway Big Bertha Alpha and the Apex irons at my club's simulator a few weeks back and goddamn were those clubs nice. I was smashing the bertha but didn't trust that they hadn't...

    I still get a good chuckle every time I come in this thread and read someone telling people that if they don't eat 800g of protein a day their body is going to cannibalize muscle. "Bro, you'll lose weight sure... but it's going to be ALL muscle."

    You know, you said what I've meant to say in one concise little paragraph. This is exactly what I mean. Different things work for different people and for me, I cannot be with someone I don't feel is on my level.

    When you are burning calories you supplement that extra deficit with more carbs. Essentially, if you're trying to stay in ketosis while exercising what you need to do is find your "keto equilibrium" as far as carb intake goes and stay under it by 5-10g of carbs. But it's different for everyone...

    You don't need to even get to a 50/50 split of fat/protein (outside of your intake of carbs) to get into Keto. Keeping your carbs down is the primary focus. Keep it under 20g carbs a day (unless you are exercising) and start at like 65/45 protein/fat split to start. That should work fine.

    You don't need to keep protein below fats to get and stay in ketosis. What's the goal exactly? Just ketosis? Nuts are a great, healthy source of fat. Treat yourself to fatty cuts of meat like pork shoulder ribs and chuck roasts or ribeyes if you can afford it (it can get pricey) three or four...

    I have a double basket electric fryer. I think it's 6 quarts? I used it like 3 times and then put it away forever. It is literally the biggest pain in the ass to clean and keep usable for little benefit. The french fries and wings I made with it certainly were better than sticking them in the...

    Well, the conversation spiraled out of control. I am specifically referring to the type of woman Joeboo described. Not women in general. But yes, if I am literally taking care of you from a financial perspective I expect you to take care of me at least a little at home. It doesn't really have...

    Not even close Deathwing. Are you seriously saying women are incapable of finding better work? It's not just women, there are a ton of men who have shit jobs and do nothing about it aside from bitching about how life sucks. There are a lot of factors at play on individual basis for why a woman...

    Daycare always has been run by men. Literally, they own and run it, and make cash hand over fist doing so. They hire women because women like to believe they are nurturing and want to be around kids all day. Also, women suck at figuring out what they want to be when they grow up, so they just...

    This is what I mean though. Her job may be a pain but it certainly isn't hard. She has to walk and stick mail in people's mailboxes, and deal with the occasional dog (OK, so that really sucks). You sit on reddit/rerolled all day? If that's true you need to apply yourself Noodlebro. Don't get...

    Ahh see, that's exactly what I am getting at. I am not looking at just the money, I'm looking at the things the two of you help each other with. You see and appreciate your wife's ability to make your house feel like a home, something you know you can't or wouldn't do. That's a mutual respect...

    Yeah bad wording. I didn't mean to make it sound as though I thought his wife was worthless. I directed a general question specifically at his wife. Not the intention. In broader terms, why don't most women try to find better jobs?

    That's not really what Wombat or I am saying. I'm not asking to be catered to, I'm asking for my partner to consider our relationship as a whole and what each of us brings to the table. I'm not implying that I should be able to come home hand her my coat and hat and ask her to open a beer for...

    I can agree with that actually. All these things need to be discussed prior to getting married. But who's to say she didn't agree to do the household stuff and then started refusing because she felt it was unfair after they were married? I had those conversations in both my previous...

    Oh I completely agree with you. It's the main reason my last two relationships ended. In both cases both parties were unyielding in their beliefs on the matter and I am not the type of guy who is going to take care of a woman so she can go through life like a juvenile without a care in the...

    I don't really disagree with you joeboo in the fact that it's a tough sell because that argument essentially comes down to a condescending "you need me, I'm better than you" tone. It's not meant to be that way but if I have to pay for everything as Wombat said, including vacations, furniture...

    Let me guess, she worked at a daycare because "she loved kids" and "she loved what she did". Who cares if she worked hard those 40 hours a week, she had no ambition and worked a shitty job. She doesn't have a career. She gets to not care if her place of employment closes down, she doesn't have...

    Nothing pisses a woman off more than saying your piece and then not allowing her to respond. Like saying "You know why I'm pissed, this is why and it's not up for discussion. Have a nice night I'm going out". Then shut off your phone. Leave for long enough and they'll be apologetic when you...

    They both still need reviews but they are both strong after they get some gear. Wolverine puts out some silly damage and Deadpool is a machine.
