Best Posts in Thread: Tech Application from Homer455

You should upload some Java to your Github as that is very important for Tech staff and the quality of your work is only really visible in things you have created. Its interesting to see that you are comfortable with Lua, that's not so common anymore but still a pretty cool skill to have.

Also it would be cool to see some of your Python and SQL work, in fact maybe a Java program that makes calls to a database via SQL.

 

No reason to hate on app, techs don't need to be liked by the community they just need to fix plugins

 

No idea what that guy just said, but it sounded smart, so you better do it.

On a more serious note though, I really wouldn't want you to represent Meepcraft as a tech seeing your ingame behaviour. Work on that buddy. I would expect cool-headed, professional, disciplined acting of a to-be-tech. Don't give me the crap this doesn't matter for a position on the Tech team. It does. You want to represent a business, act like it.

Introduction: Hi, my name is Homer455. Most of you probably know me. I have been on this server since early 2014, but quit in mid 2014, and I have been back since 2015. I have had many ups and downs with this server, so recently I have been thinking to myself "What is the best way for me to give back to the community?" Well, that is becoming a developer!

Please describe your experience as a developer. I have been coding using Lua, HTML, and CSS for around 2 years. I learnt Java, Javascript, Python, PHP, SQL, and Git a year ago. I am currently learning Ruby, BukkitAPI, an OpenGL.

What programming languages are you familiar with? Lua
PHP
HTML
CSS
Javascript
Java
Python
SQL
Git
Ruby*
BukkitAPI*
OpenGL*

* = languages I am currently learning

What are you most proud of as your work as a developer? My post prideful moment of being a developer is getting hired by a local company to create them a website using HTML, CSS, PHP, and Javascript. If you would like to see the website, please message me as it has my location on it.

How do you plan to enrich the experience of MeepCraft with your development contributions? I would love to get suggestions from the community and see what they would like in the server so it can enrich their playing experience, while it will make me feel accomplished at the end of the day. And of course, I would pass these ideas onto the administration before developing the idea.

Do you have a GitHub account or personal website? If so, please provide the link(s) here. GitHub: https://github.com/IndigoSypnopsis

Seeing how you acted to a small bug with a region today, I can safely say you cannot handle the stress involved with being a tech. Thank you for applying.

 

To #1: Yes it is at least marginally important. Other techs and administrators tend to cooperate on certain projects and need to be able to change and modify the code. If the other techs can't understand your code because of the way you wrote it, then things can get stalled for quite a while.

#2: You don't have to necessarily be online for such a long time, but rather be active in global and forums/TS. Yes, it IS important that you focus on all social aspects if you want any staff rank, including tech, since you still represent meepcraft as a whole.

This is a Tech application, not one for other staff. He doesn't need to be liked, he needs to be effective and make plugins. No one cares about that on Techs.

Uhhh...make plugins? Isn't that what tech does?

- see you online sometimes
- seem experienced and could do the job
