Hey I'm still looking for work.
I've applied to a lot of places in my area and I'm getting nothing.

I'm a programmer at heart, but I've also been looking for regular entry-level jobs because there haven't been any coding positions open at my level as far as I could tell.

If you can offer me a job, it might save my butt. And if you can't offer me a job, could you at least share this post?

I live 30 minutes away from Bellevue if that helps.

Anyone know how, in #java, to create a #TCP socket server that doesn't wait for a newline to return from read() ? Non-blocking is best. I just want a read() call to return -1 (or whatever) if there are no characters waiting.

Everything I've tried so far requires a newline to be sent from the client, and I've tried:

stty raw
stty raw -echo
(and with those) -> nc, socat, telnet.

I'm getting the same stupid behavior from both Linux and macOS.

Funny how people will kick up such a fuss about Java but it's honestly not that bad. Yeah there's technical debt and eccentricities due to its age but it's pretty easy to get to work with it.

Compared to my experience learning C# I am having a much better time. C# is fine in itself and is a lot more consistent. Although, I do not enjoy the ecosystem nor the way the documentation is currently laid out. I can get work done but it's not my preferred option at the moment.

Maybe my opinion of C# will improve with time. It was a surprise to have a much more pleasant experience with Java. I just happened to be learning and working with both languages at the same time so comparisons have been on my mind recently.
