So, I've been working at IMVU for two weeks. So far, it's been pretty good. I had a project where I had to use dictionaries AND it wasn't terrifying. I actually was able to get them to work and to work with them. I am not sure why I was so afraid of dictionaries, but now, I am happily using them. Also, it was my idea to use them, not my supervisor's. So, go me!
Work has been interesting. I have to stop comparing it to my last company, but it's hard to stop. I mean, we have weekly all hands' meetings. People's accomplishments are announced and celebrated. Oh, the free food is quite the perk as well.
What have I been working on? Honestly, I don't remember my first script except that I had to get Python and a shell script to talk to one another. I also had to figure out how to pass a SQL statement between them. Very interesting... oh, now I remember something about what I wrote. I had to read a bunch of SQL statements and partition them.
Second script dealt with working with XML files and cleaning them up of a certain tag. And then the latest sets of scripts dealt with determining which tables were used in which datasources and which tables were not used at all.
All these scripts have presented their own challenges, but I've been able to successfully meet those challenges and solve the puzzles. Also, I'm starting to learn how to communicate with a coder so that he can understand what I'm trying to say. I mean, we are both speaking English, but something gets lost in the translation between Marlene speak and coder speak.
