You should charge more! That is low enough it's in the "Why so cheap?" range which may even hurt your chances of finding work than being too expensive! If you have any work experience at all, double or triple that rate.
I agree, $15/hr should be the rate for the 'few hours of "exploratory" work' they're offering, and at least 2-4X that beyond the introductory period. It's an insane deal to anyone for the stack they claim to work with.
VSCode is not a fad - it has huge support from Microsoft, is the most popular code editor by far, and is a very good tool that's beginner friendly and allows for customisation. It is already almost a decade old. Visual Studio has been around since 1997 so there's a good chance VSCode will be around for a good few years too.
Log analytics or warehouse tables often have no simple useful key for this sort of comparison.
Also in a more general case you might be comparing tables that may contain the same data but have been constructed from different sources. Or perhaps a distributed dataset became disconnected and may have seen updates in both partitions, and you have brought them together to compare to try decide which to keep or if it is worth trying to merge. In those and other circumstances there may be a key but if it is a surrogate key it will be meaningless for comparing data from two sets of updates, so you would have to disregard it and compare on the other data (which might not include useful candidate keys).
It happens. I’m currently working on a project where the CRM tool I need to access for data, actually does not have a unique id in its db. I have no idea if I will be able to successfully complete the project yet.
Is there any chance that the rows actually do have a unique id, but it's not being displayed without some magic incantation?
Asking because I've seen that before in some software, where it tries to "keep things simple" by default. But that behaviour can be toggled off so it shows the full schema (and data) for those with the need. :)
That's not all that unusual when something gets implemented, as people tend to take the easy approach for things that meet the desired goal.
It just sounds like the spec they were writing to wasn't very clear or it was just a checkbox list of features provided to them by marketing. So "lets get this list done then ship it". ;)
A rejection screamed in your ear? Luxury! When I was a junior developer we used to stand in job line 25 hours a day for tuppence and if they didn't hire us we'd be shot.
The market is pretty horrible right now, in my experience. Speak to a recruiter and it should be a little easier to find something. I used to have roughly 1/2 of applications leading to interviews and around 3/4 of those leading to offers but this year had a 20 application dry streak. I think the market is pretty flooded with good talent from the large tech companies layoffs and the number of people going through bootcamps for junior positions too.
Hoping to get an offer in my final interview for a role in 10 minutes!

I believe this is the key part. I see many people coming from coding bootcamps with a lot of experience with frontend dev in React, since that is (was?) probably one of the few fastest things you can learn to go to the market get a job fast.
Now the market is flooded with people in this situation, since their qualifications are so generic that they become more easily replaceable.
