I agree here. React is not a fad. Its matured and has essentially become the industry standard. My company gets lots of young engineers who don't really know React that well, and it can be a problem. It can be issue even for those with

A day after I wrote the review, they tried to email me and offer me the job. I was pretty desperate, but not THAT desperate knowing they had only done so because of the review. So I replied, saying I wasn’t interested. The day after that is

I once left a bad review on Glassdoor after a truly awful interview experience for a startup. The next day they called me up and threatened legal action. Edit: Just for context on the interview—they had me do a take home assignment in Djang

Hiring is definitely more art than science. I’d argue that now one has really figured out how to do it well. Some companies do actually hire people fresh out of college/coding boot camp, and for those people, some feedback and a few we

It’s this kind of stuff that makes it easier for me to understand how people voted for Trump. Even if it’s not meant to be, it really feels like an attack on all the men working in tech, rather than the few bad individuals or few bad compan

I really want to know if stuff like introversion/extroversion and depression has any correlation to this. I feel like my inner monologue keeps me company most of the time and I’d be much lonelier without it.
