The profiles and gigs all look like they are done by skilled people with hilariously bad English. Ok, maybe that is a thing. Virtual assistants, programmers etc who have expertise in their area but are not well versed in English? Maybe.

But as soon as I start communicating with them, everything breaks down. When I send them a long job description with details and questions, I get back a one-liner like:

"Yes sir, can do!"

And when I reply:

"So how do we go about it? Have you looked through the documents? How would we start?".

I get something like:

"I can do for $10!".

I'm 35, working for an IT consultancy company and I feel my career is going at a dead end.

I did well with my career (maybe too much?) and after 10 years I'm far away from coding activities, more involved in project management and I'm not sure that this is what I want.

I like coding (that's why I started this job, I also consider myself good at coding) I like to learn and explore new things.

The problem is that, at same time I feel that coding can't be a lifetime career: what will happen in 10 years from now? Maybe company will prefer younger coders to hire and I will not be able to find a job anymore? (I have family, I can't risk to lose my job)\nShall I find now another role or company that may be can offer me a job where I can cover for both roles (Coding and project management)?

The common refrain of "use Python" hasn't really worked fantastically: I don't know what version of Python I'm going to have on the system, installing dependencies is not fun, shelling out when needed is not pleasant, and the size of program always seemingly doubles.

I'm willing to accept something that's not on the system as long as it's one smallish binary that's available in multiple architectures. Right now, I've settled on (ab)using jq, using it whenever tasks get too complex, but I'm wondering if anyone else has found a better way that should also hopefully not be completely a black box to my colleagues?","time":1618059903,"title":"Ask HN: What to use instead of Bash / Sh for scripting?","type":"story"}],[26721951,{"by":"lmueongoqx","descendants":1091,"id":26721951,"kids":[26722562,26725680,26723642,26723436,26725520,26722655,26723165,26726403,26723269,26725831,26723370,26724473,26725457,26722301,26723750,26722909,26722532,26725479,26727803,26723710,26723485,26722689,26725161,26724592,26722725,26722583,26724328,26726278,26723404,26723652,26726033,26725906,26723654,26730327,26728509,26723113,26722957,26728176,26726339,26722527,26724727,26722646,26729575,26723816,26723827,26727292,26726332,26723447,26749780,26723767,26723248,26722125,26722871,26727655,26724792,26724954,26723253,26723657,26723507,26723821,26723792,26729599,26723817,26723782,26727114,26723361,26725416,26723624,26723573,26726294,26731285,26723566,26722618,26723362,26727794,26723275,26725256,26722688,26723608,26722335,26726196,26722795,26728936,26735646,26724163,26722732,26726101,26723204,26722728,26727052,26725764,26724169,26771946,26722584,26725810,26727612,26731552,26733183,26728497,26731410,26724513,26724058,26725998,26724940,26735916,26726669,26729789,26729424,26727400,26726506,26727552,26725408,26729914,26727398,26725169,26724243,26724244,26724061,26725475,26726248,26722761,26729479,26727553,26724165,26729566,26729703,26723641,26724898,26725098,26723431,26729001,26728274,26725176,26727072,26722719,26722609,26727118,26723815,26723670,26732478,26726840,26726556,26724364,26726576,26725740,26728042,26727429,26728987,26723951,26727693,26726590,26725436,26726244,26725552,26736359,26728210,26724285,26726163,26727048,26738135,26730675,26725270,26730059,26730446,26727344,26728312,26734988,26725045,26730469,26726821,26723498,26723595,26731374,26724020,26729534,26723665,26730012,26724920,26732528,26727041,26725502,26726931,26734280,26723394,26748642,26724512,26727561,26723600,26748630,26723289,26727196,26732148,26734192,26724220,26737648,26738276,26727108,26728334,26725771,26727470,26724030,26726041,26728413,26724293,26727722,26756184,26731500,26727855,26728404,26723868,26731234,26730992,26726275,26737613,26723567,26723395,26729346,26725583,26723884,26724791,26722930,26727062,26722580,26723366,26742686,26744527,26725133,26730456,26724115,26744859,26730731,26726549,26726304,26724506,26723854,26728094,26726805,26727387,26725875,26728598,26740780,26725868,26722422,26724566,26725128,26725003,26723334,26726299,26735162,26725960,26723838,26724032,26725596,26726699,26774463,26728017,26727979,26727611,26723820,26724502,26731881,26723948,26731737,26727589,26723662,26730956,26723698,26725104,26722564,26725731,26732810,26727853,26726614,26726499,26726235,26726000,26725287,26726906,26726857,26726062,26740640,26725581,26724685,26725048,26782058,26728584,26747185,26726433,26726393,26729469,26722032,26727861,26726707,26723407,26724324],"score":2022,"text":"$17","time":1617784863,"title":"Ask HN: What tech job would let me get away with the least real work possible?","type":"story"}]]
