I live and work in germany so the environment might be way different then in the us or other countries. What I do is a small programming task that candidates can do in there own time frame at home. For the task you have to implement one i

Context: I am myself a tech lead / team manager and at the moment I try to recruit a more senior developer. My way to assess candidates differ from the style the blog describes, but of course I do some kind of technical screening. From

I am myself a software engineer / team lead in germany ("near" cologne). A lot of what you said is correct I guess. In the US your potentially salary is a lot higher. Although if you plan to move to germany, bavaria is a good

I would not say 100% dysfunctional. I had a similar case in my company. I was looking for a new team member. Found 2 persons but only had one open position. I referred one of the candidates to another team lead who wanted to talk with that

I can kind of understand what you are saying. However some points I guess cant be true (at least I hope). In a company with around 350 devs I would say there should be at least one other dev who is "really good". In my experience

Although a little bit polemic I like the article. I wrote a comment a few days ago that kind of hit the same note. Almost all developers I know can make things work. They get the job done and thats fine. Like some people here wrote, for man

Everything you wrote is correct. But still, if your product does not transparently show and alert such events, overall product quality is in my opinion bad. Dev or lead or product manager should not be ok with this. But this pretty mich ref

Well, I am sorry but in my eyes this just shows bad product quality, bad transparance and missing understanding of basic business stuff on the side of the product. The only reason for software to be existing is to NOT mandate users to check

Kind of different in germany. I work as a dev team lead for a company that develops billing software for the german energy sector. Its super regulated by the government. For example, depending on the year you got your soloar, the amount of

In my opinion there is a lot to learn. And also a lot of usefull / important stuff. But if I had to decide for just one thing, I would say to stay positive and optimistic no matter what.

I guess the best training is experience (I know, maybe not the answer you are looking for). If you hire someone and closely check up on how that person is doing in your company, you can get some feeling about what technical and personal tra

I admire your working discipline and stuff but in which way do you think does your answer help the thread owner?

Never saw the connection between the sport and statistics but yeah, its right. Hmm, I get what you mean with that point but it doesnt get me. At the moment I already build stuff for other dev teams at our company.

Sounds good. I actually have one friend who owns a company and I like talking with him about his company and try to advice him.

I alread thought about this (the first part) and I like that Idea, I also like the idea of having my own gym. Most gyms I visited are targeted at the "mainstream" fitness or some reha stuff. Thats not bad but I am missing somethin

I dont know much about this role, will look into it :)

by Fr3dd1 9y ago
A really good idea. The first part is what I think is not good at the moment. You do something good (develping stuff) and because of that you get promoted and do less of it and more of stuff you are maybe not that great at. PM is definitly

Thanks for that input, will look into it but pure teaching, especially professional stuff, sounds not that great to me :)

I think you should just start to act like one. The following are things you could do for example: - Try to look at the bigger picture during your work - Engage in discussions about the whole system - Document the bigger thing - Maybe build

For 3. you have to look at the difinition of an experienced and a novice developer they used in this study. I think maybe for google the definition fits but not in its general use.
