I wish companies like that would be easier to find! From the feel of this thread it seems to me that a company that explicitly states on "Who's Hiring" that they don't do leetcode, but do actual pair programming for eval

I think endgame is considered differently by different people, i.e. endgame for me is financial independence through micro-ventures thus FAANG, which I'm considering right now would just be to pay the bills and create a comfortable fin

I SO agree with this comment! Nowadays the only place in which I'm incentivized to deliver as quickly as possible at my personal project/micro-ventures. But at work I also work 4 hours or less, and those 4 hours are after I have w

This is really interesting. On a previous company my coding test was "build a contact manager application with python and Vue.js" and I really loved that! It was something I could do in less than 10 hours or so. The role was full-

First, thanks! PostGraphile is an AWESOME piece of software! But yeah, the reason was simply because I wanted to implement custom logic in Go.

I'm now hoping to be surprised by a similar disruption in web browsers! (although I'm not holding my breath...)

In my experience I actually got A LOT more from this approach using postgraphile/Hasura in front of my DB and later moved to dosco/super-graph in order to add custom functionality that was kind of a pain to do on the DB. I really

I'm currently the CTO/cofounder of a few-months-old startup and I think I could more easily give you a list of what NOT to do! But if I can attempt a list it would be something like this: * 1. Get Organized! The BIG difference bet

It saddens me that this doesn't surprise me anymore. Big tech is so ridden with secrets and trying to hide them, specially when they have to do with politics seems a little less than what democracy is meant to be.

Congratulations and good luck! You have gone beyond the all of those "wanna be" (including myself) and put yourself out there and for this I commend you! I love the design, didn't really sent a lot of time reading the copy bu

nice, thx! It makes me think of a particular problem that I have fixed for a client quite a few times already that could be automated. Good luck in your endeavors!

Your reference to musical instruments resonates with me (I play piano) and the fact that emacs call they keyboard bindings "chords" further complements that view. I guess the issue that is being handled here thought is that, just

In spite of all the grandiose claims, if their claims are even half of what they say, it would be pretty impressive!

true, but for me writing highly architected features that take 3x or more time to write just to steer away because of business needs (i.e. doesn't sell) seems to me more painful.

I agree with you, even thought I might personally prefer Elixir/Phoenix :-) In my particular case thought I've been opting for Golang given that my web app needs to perform a little more that CRUD. And in regards to the CRUD part

Reading all of the cynicism on the comments I wonder if we are taking into account the business context for the development of the app. I’m not a fan of react even though I use it daily, but the licentious nature of react allows me to build

I have used and unpoly but not together. It seems to me that they would conflict since they are trying to do the same thing but I’m different ways. Svelte is a very clean frontend framework that needs a lot less rituals than, say, react to
