well, no. First companies usually have separate interview for 'cultural fit'. Second, the thing with discriminations, they can be quite hidden. The 'leetcode style tasks' can be performed very differently. If I as inter

in my experience the team needs critical mass of decent developers. And by 'decent' I don't mean all-knowing experienced beasts. I mean adequate devs with ability to listen and to be wrong. If team has it, better devs natural

I did such thing at least twice (unintentionally). Usually there is a quite simple way to overcome this - cultivate review process and some some of tech meetings, where your '10x dev' can talk about their approach and others have

I think you mix a lot of different problems into one. >I can't bare the endless meetings, constant micromanagement This _can_ be fixed. Even if by switching team or even jobs. With some experience you start to understand in what tea

Your argument is quite usual in this sort of discussion and it mostly comes from dev managers or TLs who are almost gone to the 'other side'. I (everyone?) agree that software development is not only programming/writing code.

Just to add up to comments explaining why it won't work. I'm from Kazakhstan, but I'm more or less indistinguishable from Russian. Russians in Kazakhstan basically consume the same media Russia citizens do. So I can't ev

Not really. Civilians are certainly affected by sanctions. But government itself, oligarches, people with power are affected much more. Also making population unhappy gradually is a good motivation to make some changes. But here it will af

WAT? Do you have any proofs with real appliance to NATO from Russia? I don't remember that, apart from some usual russian rhetorics how they ask USA (for some reason) to allow them into the NATO and for some reason USA (not nato) didn&

(disclaimer, I'm russian but not Russia citizen, but I 'experienced the culture' for 30 years) This is wrong. There is not so much special russian 'mentality' left in Russia, not in the big cities. People there have

do you happen to have any links to such documents, preferably originals? Because it sounds suspicious that US agreed on some conditions for whole NATO. Especially by the time when USSR basically lost any leverage and couldn't dictate a

I worked in Russia and used to think this way too. But once we managed to hire person how couldn't code. At all. He was intelligent during the interview, talked his way through system design section. But during the probation period he

I'm shocked how many support or at least 'it is ok' comments here, so I won't go to tell my opinion about OP or if this is acceptable in general. Instead just my personal answer. Yeah, I lie about how much time I put to

By this logic children can't have any surgical procedures, because u need to consent for that. That's why children have legal representatives.

yeah, for some reason it is a trend to call some basic coding interview problems as something from 'competitive programming'. While in reality it is just on of the metrics of interview - make sure you can code. While some compani

I suppose quite a lot of developers from Google read HN. Do you have any internal blog or some other social media to post this? Or google is so big you can't do anything even from inside? Because I worked in similarly big (although no

You really need to go to couple of job interviews and generally look around for things you want to do. It doesn't mean you should instantly switch your job, but you obviously lack perspective. You need to understand how easy of IT to f

Not sure if useful for anybody, but here is my story. I have no real cs-background, I just liked computers in high school and participated in some local programming contests. I started working on my 4th year of uni. It was java enterprise.

I hope it would not. I'd rather spend my time becoming better and still have ability to choose good place, then learn how to act 'right' just to keep my job.

If you have entity with 10 fields and 5 nested collections (which may also have more nested objects) and you need load full object for edit (and save it after), it will be more than '2-3 line'
