Do you have a time limit in which you need to complete your internship (for instance I did a 9 month internship before my final year of college).
Here is the deal: you are an intern. You probably aren’t instrumental to their operations. I say go for your new gig if it’s a guaranteed hire. That’s capitalism. Don’t try to negotiate with your current company. And don’t burn bridges (you arent). Just simply say you have another opportunity you are going to pursue, and submit your 2 week resignation. Thank your current company for their offer and time (since in reality you were probably costing them money). Best of luck!
For your comment about Laravel and PHP, I think it is a valuable exercise to complete a project using a framework like Laravel and PHP.
Realize that the people who contribute to Laravel and to PHP are trying to solve real problems, and there implement patterns used in other frameworks and languages.
Without deep-diving some, you won't be able to recognize those patterns in other frameworks and languages.
For instance, I did a very brief stint with Ruby on Rails. I've also tried out Django with Python, Laravel with PHP, Phoenix with Elixir, and Caliburn with C#.
In each of these cases, I became more familiar with common patterns (Model-View-Whatever, Dependency Injection), and how each framework attempted to solve the problem.
So to answer your question: yes, "mastering" a technology can transfer to another similar technology. So don't be afraid to dig in, best of luck!
There is truth to this, however there has also been major changes to how we live and the expectations.
"my grand parent could buy their own house while only one was working, and a job that didn't require any diploma"
Yes, but they probably couldn't buy a house anywhere in the world they wanted. The house size was probably much smaller than the sizes of today's suburban houses. I would argue that one could by a small, economical home in the midwest.
"If they want to eat for the same price as their grand parents they need to eat junk food."
Again, look at the diet lifestyle choices of Gen Y versus their grandparents. My grandparent (I'm a Gen Xer) told me stories of eating onions for a month because his parents were migrant workers and they worked picking onions when they were in season.
Even today, it is possible to eat simply (rice, beans, in-season vegetables and fruits) for a low-price. You won't be eating much meat, and you won't be eating "luxury" items. But that is very similar to how people ate in the 30's, 40's and early 50's.
"Voters in the US don't care so much about this issue"
Agreed. I'd even go so far as to say there is a certain segment of the population that is "happy" with it. I've seen many examples of lower-middle-class people that seem to need a lower class of people to exist. They hold a deranged view of "shadow justice" that exists in our prisons. So many times we hear "he/she will get what they have coming in prison".
Agreed. I wonder if any manager would ever put in "walks", or "cool downs" into the schedule. Meaning allocate a week (or some time span) in between each sprint to do all those things you wish you had time to do in the sprint.
I know a "walk" is yet just another physical analogy for a software production process (which the analogies don't always work), but maybe it is more of a cultural mindset to value longterm team health without it becoming just a "slacking" week?
we taught our girl to nod "Yes". after that it became much easier. She was able to nod "Yes" when she was hungry. After you rule out hunger, there are only a couple more things to check before you typically fix the problem.
reliability was my first thought with these. It is a very clever technique. However, the mechanical spring properties would seem to be very important. I'm sure they have designed the spring to be in an approximately linear stress/strain region, but material creep seems like it would be more prevalent than traditional engineering materials. Perhaps if the lifespan of these objects is relatively short, then they would satisfy the reliability goal.
I do not have any research. My personal observation and belief is:
A young child (0 to ~3 years) does not understand electronics. The input output response from a battery device cannot be easily guessed from only physical examination, thus it is not a good toy to develop a mental model.
I would much rather my child (at a very early age), form the basic mental models of the physical world so that she can predict how the world will react around her. Throwing a ball, banging a percussive instrument, stacking blocks. These all help form physical models of the world.
What solidified this belief for me was watching my ~11 month old frantically pushing the button on a battery operated rocking horse she had received as a present from her aunt. My child could not understand why the horse had made noise before, but (once I took the batteries out) did not make noise. After seeing that, I realized that we needed to make things simpler before we made them more complex.
I do this. I also like to throw in that my child only eats organic products, that have not been fried, that are also free of added salt and sugar. We also use cloth diapers, which I like to mention.
My wife and I agree on these things and think it best for our child. Our relatives and cousins look at us like we are from another planet LOL!
Wow, just wow. As someone not affected by the heroin epidemic, this was very hard to read. I was almost brought to tears at how many stories involved children of heroin users and how their lives are affected.
I wasn't really meaning the As-Seen-On-TV "rich and happy".
I meant "happiness" more as the opposite of "pain and despair". If you are not in a place mentally to have a partner and children, don't do it.
Same with "health". If you aren't healthy, either by circumstance or by choice, you probably aren't ready for a partner or kids.
"Money" is relative. I really mean, if you have enough resources to provide for more than yourself. If you can't provide anything for a relationship, or kids, you aren't ready.
You could draw this as concentric rings of self-control, and only once you are in control of the inner ring, can you progress to outer rings.
You must control your mind, body, environment, relationships, and offspring. If you lose control of one of the inner rings, then you cannot control the outer rings.
would be the correct order to process these tasks? Without the previous item(s), the latter item is harder to obtain and maintain at full functionality.
Have you grown and developed other leaders in the company? I think this is the answer to any "how to transition" question. Is there someone whom you have groomed and wants to take over?
