Sorry to hear a lot of people are having a difficult time. Let's face it, LinkedIn won [1]. Go ahead and create an account and contact a recruiter. It's the only way that has worked for me in the past several years. [1]: https:&#

There is something interesting about pronunciation. Some sounds, unless you learned them as a child, you can't pronounce them. English not being my native language, some words I just accepted that I can't say them. I discovered th

This made my day. Bursted out laughing while waiting in line in an immigration office. Many years ago, I interviewed somewhere where the HR manager gave me hell. It was a roller coaster emotions. She would say something funny, I would laugh

A VP set a goal to improve efficiency by 10%. The jira team went to work and did their magic. When the fiscal year ended, we had a presentation where it was said that they exceeded expectation. We gained 71 days in productivity, or 19.5%. Y

Mine was the sound of ocean waves. I used to play rain and ocean waves to get my kids to fall asleep. To my surprise, I turned off the sound when they fell asleep but the waves were still crashing on the shore. I assumed the neighbors were

When I was 11, i was the official tech support in the embassy of X in Y... (too embarrassing). The secretary had to redesign the template for official documents every day. No two documents ever looked the same. At least once a week the comp

I read the book catch-22 way to late in life, turns out it's not a comedy. His crime was to be present when they embarrassed themselves. Now he needs to be punished.

The example isn't very good at showing what it does properly. An improvement would be to show the results for different delays, not 5 seconds for all 3 functions calls

My experience with scrum is: metric driven development. Not metric as in the measure of the effect of your code, but Jira (or whatever your task manager is) metrics. It systematize the process, without taking the actual work into considerat

This sounds like the start up I left a couple years ago. I was employee number 3. I took a deep pay cut to join them. I shared a cubicle with the ceo and cto, the two cofounders. Tight nit group. A year later, we had our first round of vc f

I think it's still a good idea to learn by writing HTML pages, then adding a style and script tag in the head. The scripts and styles become enhancements to the page. If you go to a code bootcamp, you are learning react. A lot of new d

One thing that happens when you learn to build web things using React before learning html, is that you don't care about links. When I joined my team, all links were buttons, random elements, or <a> with onClick. Nobody complaine

I hate to say this, stop applying. Find a recruiter on LinkedIn. This is what it has come to. There are thousands of resumes being sent at my company, yet the recruiter can't find anyone. Why? Because no one is applying through her lin

This doesn't make sense. If the dev asks permission that creates good experience, the user is incentivized to give real data. Example, gps is required to navigate or find near by service. The user will happily provide. But if you requi
