Re: Any developers on here tonight? What are you working on?
on my own time i was working on a simple password manager is just javascript, no web server

provides UI for user to manage all their passwords

accessed via a single master password

encrypts the data using AES .. this is all in javascript

and provides that encrypted data to the user in base64 text format

user would then simply paste that encrypted base64 text into an email account to backup, and also to allow access on multiple devices

should be highly secure... how do i AES encrypt in javascript ? by compiling a very small C library using emscripten , which converts that C code into javascript for me

WHY ? because i dont want to rely on some companies web server to backup my passwords, i dont want to pay for it, i dont want to worry about how to get all of my data if i decide i no longer want to continue payhing the company

i dont want to TRUST some company

well i like it, i plan to make it open source when im done so anyone can use it

it should work on mobile devices, android, iphone, really everywhere because its just a javascript app running on the browser

you dont need a server, you download that single web page app as html with embededded javascript, thats it, you have it on the device
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 78409187


but i might also monetize it by providing an OPTIONAL server that would help the user to synchronize to multiple devices and backup, including psossibly to their email

but i wouldnt cripple the open source app at all, this would be just something optional a user could pay a few bucks a month for

sure i could be rich and now ive blown it

dont worry i have pleanty of ideas like this, i can afford to share a few

Why not use IndexedDB in the browser for storage (Dexie is a good library for that) and sync using P2P (Bugout is a good library for that)

Re: Any developers on here tonight? What are you working on?
Serious question. How do you get a job as a programmer?

I’ve been programming for about 10 years in Python and have decent skills. Also picked up some other languages along the way.. C++, Lua and a few others but I can’t seem to land any job interviews. I have a college degree in another field and have been coding in my free time and also writing automation scripts for work stuff (I work in an unrelated field but am able to save time on some things by coding).

Any advice would be helpful and greatly appreciated.

Thanks!!

I’m working on Uncle Intel bot.

You give it crypto and tell it to run to the gas station for some milk, eggs, bread, etc.

It leaves for 2 hours, comes back into the room drunk and smelling like liquor, no eggs, milk, or bread, and when you ask it where your items are..

It replies some crackhead at the local Valero beat it up and ran off with the money. Then says his agency contacts called while he was gone and sent out a special agent warning code 7 that there is a French Navy submarine off the Gulf Coast and that id have to wait until “may 15” to know he’s right..

The bot then pulls out an airplane shot of Gilbey’s from his front jacket pocket and downs it while giving you a “yeah i bought it at the store” look.

Start at a helpdesk position. A state agency will likely pay a living wage, not a lot, but enough to pay rent, utilities, and other bills. Then you have a chance to prove technical competence, use your skills to automate some repetitive tasks, and get to know the development team and manager.

Once you’ve proved your worth you can express interest in a position with them.

That is what worked for me.

Good luck!
