Well, people will exploit only to the point where you'll let them. You have the power to say no, to talk back (it's not a bad thing), to express your opinion. I've been in situation like this quite a number of times and I just tell myself: I'm a very talented developer and I can always get another job or work for myself if it comes to it, so I will not accept any exploitation. To do this you need confidence. As a developer, my way of getting confidence is being so good they can't ignore you (check out that book). Do your very best, learn every moment you get a chance. BTW, sometimes you can just talk directly to your manager and let him know how you're feeling. Tell him you feel like you're being singled out and you think it's unfair. It's the truth. If he can't handle that, and keep pushing you, just leave at the time you feel you should leave and tell him you have errands on the weekends. But use the weekends to your advantage by learning new skills. He/She can't physically force you to do anything.

This could be a good teaching tool for people new to development. Rather than setting up a bunch of vm's, just use nitrous and code in the browser...and as they become better, they can start using ssh and so on. Could also be interesting as an enterprise offer.

ugh, the way you did it, I thought that was the way most people did it. Usually you see the answer and only "show working". Though the mechanical approach can facilitate more complex problems.

Go for Rubyists 13 years ago

That sounds like a problem that could be solved in nodejs pretty easily. I also want to get going with Go but just don't have any pressing need for it right now.

DevOps to the rescue. With new tools coming out all the time, the setup/costs will get lower. Docker is one such tool.
