Ask HN: How to estimate full stack skills?
I'm looking for a way to do have a big picture of my skills and compare it to trade skills in the topic of backend, web & native frontend development, database and devops mainly.
I'd like to have a list for every topic to check with the things I know and in fine learn about what I don't know.
I'm interested in "skill boards" about ML & NLP too.
Thanks.
- snoopybbt 12y agoThis is actually a good post, and it would be very useful to have some sort of repeatable way to compare your own skills to the skills requested by a certain industry/market.
- MalcolmDiggs 12y agoThere's some precedent for this in the contractor-marketplaces like Odesk. They'll have a list of dozens of skills/topics that a contractor can prove their knowledge of. They give them a score based on their performance relative to the larger group who has taken the test. You can see the tests here: https://www.odesk.com/tests https://www.odesk.com/tests (but you'll need to create an odesk account first). There are also a number of coding-challenge sites where you can show off your skills and get ranked, like codeeval.com Both these types of scoring systems are just rough heuristics though. Since full-stack development uses a lot of "soft" skills like organization and creativity, you'll never really get the full-picture from these kinds of objective battery tests.
