Sure, but thinking back to 2008, the first clear signs of trouble were in like mid 2005, I don't think that was a case of broken clocks being correct twice a day.

I'm sure there are Very Important Reasons but seems like a poor design. Maybe "display: none" makes some sense, but the rest are visual.

I don't disagree, just to your point about early retirement, be aware of what you really want vs just chasing comp. If it's comp, then it also begs the question of why not FAANG then.

If $250k base salary is "not enough", you should really step back and look at what you really want in life. Even in HCOL area, consider relocation and/or remote. And to clarify, I'm not saying it's greedy or wrong,

I hear these complaints a lot - and feel like the unspoken problem is your HR or recruiters are non-technical and shovel garbage candidates at devs to sort out. Whenever I've had (technical) engineering managers involved with reaching

You need to talk/complain to your pipeline, sounds like the 20 something non-technical "recruiters" are wasting your time.

There's a common double standard here though - when I've asked backend-type devs to do a UI sample/question (these are often "full stack" roles), the leet code geniuses dismiss my concerns as that not mattering if t

The only thing that is awkward imho is the focusing, the rest is a really good fit for declarative, e.g. here's your list of "things", render a UI for each.

Thanks for sharing, neat. This makes me curious about the psychology of declarative vs imperative, and why some people gravitate towards one or the other (at least with UI code). Back in the jQuery days, a lot of my hatred towards "Ja
