My issue is not that if icon represents what the application does but they all look alike. The old school icons, even if they were not good representation of what applications did, were distinguishable from a distant. Once you memorized the

You can’t always select the bottom 20%. Sometimes, whole teams or departments are eliminated. Employees are simply a number with cost and only thing matters is cost. They almost never look at individual performance or productivity. If your

Absolutely, not true. CTOs don’t care about productivity at IC level. I have seen plenty of high performers getting laid off with rest of their teams.

Based on anecdotal data, companies don’t look at any personalized resume. Much better use of your time to send your standard cover letter and resume. Just apply to positions where you are, at least, 80% match. And yes you will never find 10

The way I understand is that it is not FOV but zoom level. If you look through a camera with 50mm lens, the subject and background should appear same size as when viewed with naked eyes. Doesn’t matter if it is full frame or crop sensor.

Very common. Your career is 90% politics and 10% skills. Junior devs enter the field thinking this is meritocracy but it is not. Until they realize the truth, their egos will keep getting hurt.
