Great implementation for solving a problem that is often discussed, but never executed.!I have always thought that paired programming works better than whiteboarding. Do you have any reference clients? Would love to interview at such compan

Would love for an LA event, but I am not holding my breath. People in Los Angeles are notoriously flaky and rarely attended tech events before the pandemic. Went to my first IRL tech event since 2020 a couple of weeks ago and only two peopl

This occurred to me in the 2000s in NYC. Repeated (I kept on getting "disconnected") calls to 311 always led to an operator that proceeded to victim blame me. "Are you sure you do not have parking tickets?", "Are y

Making an assumption, so far I have only read the CNBC article. Many of the recent tech layoffs included entire departments not entirely related to the operation of the business, the core product. For example: recruiting departments. When e

I have found that there is very little difference between a senior, junior and even intern engineer. The responsabilities are the same, but a senior generally completes tasks faster and is paid more. The same JIRA tickets. It is not until y

Meetup.com will first offer a group whose organizer had stepped down to the members of the group. They will not shut down a group easily. I disagree that they shared emails since I do not think organizers have access you that data.

Surprised there are no questions regarding attrition or why people have quit. I also ask of the current managers (in the immediate department), how many were promoted and how many were hired. What is the shortest/longest someone in the

"companies want people who are smart enough to do the work, but obedient enough to put up with all the bullshit" Which is why I love leetcode interviews: I get an insight at how a company, especially tech management, operates. Du

Judging by the recruiting emails I receive, FAANG companies are definitely not interested in remote employees. I get 2-3 emails a week from Amazon, and they always list an office, but hint at remote possibilities. I suspect it is Amazon tha

Cases like these happen at companies at all levels. Massive companies such as Amazon and especially at startups, where roles are not as defined. After only two months at my current role, I was ready to leave. Was catfished into a role which

Do you have any information about the Los Angeles office? Is any engineering located there? I realize that the office is very likely closed at the moment, was wondering for when things open back up. Difficult to search for information regar

Thanks, that appears to work. Although, LinkedIn will reset the filter if I change another part of the search in attempt to increase results. Offices are still closed, so many companies still do not know how they will truly operate once the

LinkedIn has made the process of finding an on-site position more difficult. They will list a position as being local to your search, but when you view the listing, it will actually be for a remote job. There is no way to really search for

Companies still do not know how to interview for hard skills, what makes you think they can do it for soft skills? Previous workplace disagreement? Easy to hide during an interview.

The problem with these types of sites is the cold start issue. Not enough users to make people stay engaged. After viewing few to no options, most users will move on. Bumble tried to tackle the issue with its BFF feature, but it is still un

Even before the pandemic, when searching for a new role, I would avoid what I call the "senior trap". When everyone on the team is senior, the new person by default is the junior developer. With the senior trap, the new developer

I was a committer to Elasticsearch. My name is thanked in the (very old) official book. I will still get asked questions. No one looks at open source work, just as no one cares about your resume.

If anything, perhaps the current tech job market is moving away (for now) from junior developers. Assuming it is also exacerbated due to teams being remotely located. While searching for jobs, I look to avoid the "Senior Trap", wh
