C++, MacOS and FOSS

What a wild combination.

They don't tell you how much they are going to pay you, nor how long the contract would be.

[-] etchinghillside@reddthat.com 6 points 6 months ago

It mentions full time employment. If the org is based in Germany then I might expect similar wages for a similar company there.

[-] NickwithaC@lemmy.world 6 points 6 months ago

You still shouldn't apply for jobs that don't give the salary up front.

[-] josephalumin@lemmy.world 13 points 6 months ago

This is different from culture to culture. Where I'm living, it would be considered as bad to give the salary.

[-] racketlauncher831@lemmy.ml 2 points 6 months ago

I honestly have a hard time imagining how this works. Its similar to buying stuff without a price tag. I would never buy something if the only way to know the price is to ask.

it works just fine because people generally earn the same depending on education, experience and profession. There are tools online to check what range you can expect based on your parameters, and then there is some flexibility based on your person/skills. The salary is then negotiated during the application phase.

I can also concur this ("salary is not shared upfront") varies from country to country.

Does my code have to not suck?

[-] arcterus@piefed.blahaj.zone 14 points 6 months ago

Very good C++ development skills

[-] mycodesucks@lemmy.world 14 points 6 months ago

Curses!

[-] brisk@aussie.zone 5 points 6 months ago

developer (m/f/d) to start work (from home) as soon as possible.

What are those letters?

[-] skoell13@feddit.org 12 points 6 months ago

Male, female, diverse

[-] Whats_your_reasoning@lemmy.world 5 points 6 months ago

Monday/Friday/Doomsday?

[-] Flamekebab@piefed.social 2 points 6 months ago

"oomsday"

What was "oomsday"?

(Not sure if this one is too obscure)

[-] Core_of_Arden@lemmy.ml 2 points 6 months ago

I don't love things. I might like them, and I do like LibreOffice, Firefox and lot's of other OS software. I can't take your job, but I hope you find someone for the position! :-)

Asked in another way: Want to deal with a huge (legacy) code base for MacOS support? But yeah maintenance is needed.

[-] biotin7@sopuli.xyz -4 points 6 months ago

MacOS ‽ yeah nope

[-] nothingcorporate@lemmy.world -5 points 6 months ago

Who buys a Mac and uses FOSS? I feel like that venn diagram has very little overlap.

[-] Photuris@lemmy.ml 8 points 6 months ago

Uh, like, a ton of them. Especially developers. Ever heard of homebrew, dude?

[-] communism@lemmy.ml 5 points 6 months ago

LibreOffice is a good productivity suite in its own right. And there's a fair amount of Mac-specific FOSS. Some people just like the Apple ecosystem I guess.

[-] detren@sh.itjust.works 4 points 6 months ago

Students who hate Google docs and don’t have the cash for word?

[-] pheggs@feddit.org 2 points 6 months ago

Yeah, it's a weird combo for FOSS because macOS is quite the opposite of what FOSS stands for. However, quite a few people think it's the best and.. I don't know
