I always get them from the respective websites. They all have hashes and shit too if you are paranoid.

Ah this was it.

I can't personally vouch for it and I wouldn't trust it, but it will delete cookies, cache, etc. and has an option to securely delete these things (as in it overwrites them afterwards).

Well they told me to come in during winter break to do some projects and "see if its a good fit". About as good as it gets I guess. Just worried that they're expecting me to be able to make a polished rails app from scratch. I think I'm just psyching myself out. Either way I'm definitely going to try and get back in the rails game before I start - about a month. I definitely didn't lie about my skills, but I got kind of a weird vibe the way the current developer would be leaving and I would take over. I'm a nerd who spends all the time doing this stuff anyways so I think I'm in good shape - regardless of how this specific job goes, I see it as a minimum 2 weeks experience. I think they'll like what they get and they seem eager to take me on - almost off putting in itself because it's hard to get a call back these days.

Pay hasn't been brought up yet, I'm thinking I definitely want to negotiate this before I start my trial period of sorts. If its something insulting idk I might take it anyways, which is fucked, but I only make 11/hr now and I'd be getting much more relevant experience. I'm in a bit of a bargaining position though the way I see it if I am transitioning from part to full time - such a small company they can't just have other people pick up the slack. It would all be me and maybe one other person according to fb, but I forgot to ask about that.

Anyway how much pay should I ask for? Part time I was thinking $20/hr, full time $60k, not sure if those are high or low, not sure whether I should expect less to start and have it grow as I become a better asset - this seems naive - though people on 4chan were saying you could expect real talent to receive bigger rewards at small companies as opposed to mediocrity being the name of the game at a big company. (Cost of living is super high where I live)

I know a bunch of you's are in the industry, I'd appreciate any advice for navigating the business end of things.

Being a bit nervous is totally expected - especially by them. Its just as you say - you spend time doing this stuff anyway so the main difference is that now the problems you get will be more random, but you'll also have people to pick their brains a bit.

Makes sense, I guess its more common to do a trial run of sorts than I thought.

I cant be of much help when it comes to pay as I've consistently undersold myself. Take this with a grain of salt but I think it's better to throw a higher number there and have it brought down that throw a low number and have them accept it right away. Each company is a bit different I've changed jobs too often to know what happens after > 6 months at a company in terms of bonuses, promotions, or raises. Youve probably checked this already, but I always check salaries at glassdoor to get numbers. Im also led to believe that while youll work harder at a smaller company, you'll earn more - both money and knowledge.

Yeah same I'm no good at those kind of negotiations and its always a touchy subject.

Oh, I remembered one more thing to add to that list of questions in reply to your pm: if you can, ask them if theyd like you to read up on something before you come in. Maybe they have some tasks in mind for you already and you get a somewhat head start. I think this might make the first few days easier and it shows that you're really eager to learn.

Keep us updated.

Oh that's definitely a really good idea. Much better than just guessing at what they want. Seems like common sense, but I never would've thought to do that.

Responding to your pm about what you would have done differently at your internship (I figure I'll do it here, someone might benefit or have an opinion):
I get what you mean about asking for as much help as possible especially as opposed to struggling through something. On the flip side I know I might struggle through something because I don't want to seem stupid. Maybe you can't really answer as its something to play by ear, how would I judge when to ask for help and when to fire up google? How to get as much guidance as possible, but not seem incompetent. I guess it also somewhat depends on the the task whether it's a straightforward task or something that can be tackled any number of ways.

I can't complain or say they failed me, but I'm ending up just like them. My dad never taught me how to be man basically, how to stand up for yourself, tell someone to fuck off, change a tire. Now I'm just a spineless drone with the same mental problems and same shit attitude. My mom was always weird and over protective. Like in middle school my friend had a paintball birthday party and she wouldn't let me go because of the waiver, hassled me about stupid shit, really set a tone for my escapist mentality. Coulda been worse, but I think that interfering with the free roaming nature of a child is the worst thing you can do. Kids are meant to fuck around with no oversight, fear mongering will literally be the death of us.

Now I'm just a loser who just wants to make enough to scrape by, absolutely no intentions of finding a girl, and even less intentions of having kids.

Does anyone know how to contact him? He hasn't been active for few days and with the current state of affairs could mean forever or awhile.
I had a question for him since he works in a RoR shop. Actually he's the only one I know for sure does, but if you do too or PHP or something similar I'd like to ask some questions if you're willing.
