It seems like a software issue not a battery problem. Apps get automatically shut down on iOS for example when they drain your battery in the background. Android should improve it's background management mechanism. I don't use and

I agree. Though, 2 algorithm problems over the phone in a notepad + 2 to 4 whiteboarding interviews onsite related to algorithm. How much is too much in your opinion? How about replacing a binary tree problem with coding an actual mini-prod

I'm referring to the "competition" post Resume, when they already reached out to you - "your profile is very attractive and would be a perfect fit for our role". They put you into their hiring process with a few oth

Let me ask you this question - when was last time you used a binary tree at work? Just curious. Maybe you do use this stuff. Then in this case the current hiring process is perfect for you. I manipulate hash tables all day everyday and data

I agree. To that I'd add the fact that senior engineers - unlike junior engineers - get pulled from a bunch of other companies. By hiring young engineers companies would get longer commitments and leave plenty of rooms for employees to

That's good stuff I like that. In today's market the competition is too high, their goal during an interview process is to focus on the negatives. Why? Because they pretty much tell you right away - we're talking to you becau

Marketing is expensive, a company needs money to promote a product. To get money a company needs investors. To get investors (in silicon valley) a company needs a warm introduction. The warm introduction is the marketing I'm talking ab

Yep. The thing though is that they can leverage their network to get the ball rolling for any companies they sign. That means it doesn't really matter if it's awesome or bad, as long as they decide to promote a company, people wil

Are you a developer? If so, at your age and in today's market - it's called a career suicide :) It's gonna be tough to pass the recruitment process in a year from now for so many reasons. The competition is stronger than ever

Long story short - facebook is dead, majority of the people migrated to Instagram. we went from myspace (personal) to FB (friends) to instagram (personal). Looks like people would rather focus on themselves.

Use the group of people you talked to when you validated your idea before jumping on your MVP. At this stage you should have built something they want. Protect passord your website or app and send them an invite. Unless you spent time build

I'd be very interested in your story. Have you posted something somewhere about your product and how you got approached by the buyer? Is it an app, a desktop tool, etc? Curious to hear about these kind of stories in detail... if you gu

It's tough on the negotiation because your current package is virtual no matter how good the startup is doing. They're offering you real money, big difference. All you have to do with your $300K cash is to stay their for 4 years t

You're honestly at the edge. You might have nailed your interviews because 300k RSU and 180 base is extremely high for 7 years of exp. You can't compare a startup package with a public company package. I'm surprised they didn

That's exactly what I'm talking about. As a developer you're at your most marketable state from the age of 20 to 30. Anything pass 30 (not ALWAYS) is usually not good. A natural path would be to go into management, etc. But w

I look back on the interview process because it tells you a lot about the company. Numbers don't tell you much. It's all about how good or bad you've been treated. So I look at: - the kind of questions they asked, was it most

Facebook (inc) won't die anytime soon because the most active social platform in 2017 (after youtube) is instagram. That's why they don't really do anything about FB dying...

Developers don't need to think or be creative anymore. They just need to complete tasks.
