> increase salary and benefits until enough people able to pass More often than not, BigCo don't need A players, but average devs to keep the wheels spinning and that's where the struggle with hiring is.

I agreed, but it served the purpose of landing me a very good job. I don't think I am ever gonna job hunting again.

My strategy is simple: I do interview practice by simply interviewing with companies that I am not really interested in joining. That allows me to practice not only the technical interview but also all other steps involved. Last time I inte

I think people put too much effort and time in this whole interview business. My suggestion, based on my experience, is to spend a reasonable time like a month, brushing up on most common data structures and algo. Then just take your chanc

Because I am more productive when working from home, I can easily get the job done in half the time. This means that my manager is happy, and I sign off after lunch and have the rest of the day for myself. That's also why I always try

For me being productive means that I can get stuff done in less time, hence I have more time for taking care of myself and my family.

That's true, but also very sad. I am lucky enough to have a lovely wife, kids and just enough good friends. And that's all I care about. I don't really miss at all the office, let alone my co-workers. Working remote is just w

JVM echo system / tools / libraries / performance is awesome. Frameworks like Spring/Spring Boot have made JVM the default choice for many big tech. It is a no brainer and it works. No one will ever get fired for choosin

It reflects the company culture. Unlike Amazon, where customers experience is their top value, at BigG they seem to build stuff for the sole gratification and ultimately promotions of engineers and managers. They don't seem to care muc

Lowering interests rates only favors investors, speculators and banks. Definitely not the average Joe. Yeah FED definitely screwed up a lot of people, transferring more wealth in the hands of wealthy people.

Well it clearly shows that their business model is fundamentally flawed and they should probably stop selling phones.

Mega corps marketing themselves as carbon neutral, but in reality they don't give two fck about the environment. If they did, they will try to support these devices avoiding people to dump them to jump on a new one.

I canceled my Netflix subscription and went all-in with Disney+. I rarely find interesting things to watch on Netflix, my kids watch Disney+ most of the time and I get Prime Video for free.

On paper, people who bought those units, own multi million $$$ apartments, but what's their market value, zero? Who would ever buy an apartment in that building? Wouldn't be better to tear it down?

I do. I know it is impossible to getting prep for interviews when having kids. What I do is to leave my current job, give myself a month to prep, interview get a new job. So far it has worked fine with me.

Surprise surprise! no one really believed that 2021 would have been the go back to the office, business as usual year right? COVID-19, unfortunately, is here to stay, and by looking at all the people that could get vaccinated and decide not

Totally agree, that's exactly how it works for me. I join a company, work hard the first year to get a promotion and do the fun stuff, after that, I relax and stick around to vest most of the stocks and leave around the 2nd/3rd ye

Well, that's why you need at least $1M (stressing at least) to retire in US. That's insane!

> ECS trades kubernetes manifests and generalized tools for cloudformation or the AWS UI, though.. Terraform has served me well, it does come with some pain as well, but nothing compared to k8s.

by WYepQ4dNnG 5y ago
I have experienced first hand several cases of k8s gone wrong. In the end I have come to the conclusion that most companies don't really need the complexity of k8s. Seriously, most k8s projects I have been involved with required so muc

it is trivial code, but in the context of a real code base. I would never ask a candidate to solve a "hard" problem that no one in the company wasn't able to solve. Just an example: in the context of a spring application, I

Maybe a little off-topic. You wanna solve or avoid millions bugs? Instead of hiring people capable of memorizing how to invert binary trees and similar bs, companies when interviewing and hiring should focus on real hands-on experience, sho
