Good goy, you make more since you work more right?
Designed and implemented a distributed, HA authentication system for an online service, that has around 1-2k daily users (not a lot, but its a specialized software, the monthly subscription starts from 150 USD). Earned me a full time job while I was still at university, and it feels good that it has been running without a single error since 3 years.

Honest question. Can you tell me what to look for in a job? I have about two months left as a contractor at my current job (first out of college) and I've been looking for other areas of employment because this company seems to like to make their employees work more than 40 hours without actually paying them more, which is horseshit.

Designed a language and wrote an interpreter for it. I'd like to write a compiler but there's some tricky bits that pretty much require bundling an interpreter in in the worst case.
I learned how to code in a month (only thing I did before was CSS and html) and at the end of the month I was able to make a javascript and php website that allowed you to search a database a products, and as you typed each letter it would load the products that were found under the current search term, with tons of filters and such.

haha that's hilarious bc its actually the opposite. i can work less than 40 and still get paid for 40. with a salary you can show up late or leave early and no one cares or even notices bc you don't punch a clock
>>53109361
Anon, you do realize that the way taxes work, is that even if you are on the edge of a tax bracket, you are still always better off taking higher salaries, right?
Assuming a simple model where $50k a year or less pays 15% a year in taxes, and $50,001 a year or more pays 25% in taxes, what do you think is the difference in taxes between someone who makes $50k a year, and someone who makes $50,001 a year? The answer is 25 cents. You would pay 15% a year on the first 50k, and then 25% on all income after that (which is $1), using the tax model used in the US (where I'm assuming a majority of posters here are).

Web library in C#.
Got the api/means of use so simple, it even handles session variables now (that even timeout after a given period) and it's comparable with nodejs and go for speed, definitely faster than plenty of other libraries. At the stage it's at, any more features would cripple and bloat it.

I could post c# source code later if anybody is interested.

Installing Gentoo
A reasonably successful shareware app in the late 1990's / early 2000's.
Didn't make me rich, but I didn't have a job during that time period because didn't need one. Just kept improving the app.
For personal reasons (dying loved one) development slowed. By the time I was somewhat functional again the competition had moved so far forward I just gave up and got a job.
Funny OP asks this today: I had a nightmare last night about that time period. Woke up depressed, missing that person, and thinking that particular program was the only thing I've ever done with my life I'm actually proud of.

mine personally is a compiler written in C for a toy programming language. I wanted to try to write everything from scratch - no dependencies aside from the standard C library. I finished the lexer and the parser, but the code generator is a bitch - I only recently got structs working in function calls and it's already at ~5,000 lines of code, and looking back theres things I could have done to make my life easier that I didn't do. I feel like I should push it to completion just because I've already brought it this far, but at the same time working with the burden of my previous mistakes is a bitch.

What kind of shitty contracts do you have? If the employer expects you to work more than a normal 40 hour week they need to pay a premium for it. I usually only work extra hours if we have a release and my employer ordered over time paying 3 times as much as normal.
>>53126036
because I don't get the same level of satisfaction out of making an app. writing a compiler and seeing it produce working assembly fills me with a sense of accomplishment/excitement, but an app doesn't do the same thing. from my experience it just feels like a waste of time :\
a thread-safe, memory-safe, parallel garbage collector for Nodes in a Tree in C
Made an occasionally connected database synchronization scheme for an embedded application. The server backend even impressed myself. I wrote it in a way so it would automate pretty much everything from backups and recovering.
My previous employer 5 years ago called up and asked if I could move the server backend to the cloud for better reliability. Checked the event log and saw that the server application hadn't crashed a single time in those 5 years time. And they never cleaned the logs because my initial debugging events were still there in the log. Could only find successful starting and stopping events.
Just read my readme.txt I left and was kind of done moving the application to an azure instance in less than a days work. Got $20k for doing it. Easy money.

An intelligent choice not to since the modulo operator is guaranteed to work with positive, negative and zero values in C. Bitwise method isn't. Any modern compiler will optimize the modulo solution so it's just as fast. In fact gcc will create almost identical assemblies for a test program for both a bitwise and a modulo solution. They will both use andl $1, %eax instruction.
