^ this! I've seen so many jquery libraries used on sites to get a quick fancy animation, but then it used something like: setTimeout(() => { element.height += 2; }, 50) Which literally brings a 60+fps page to <5fps on a high-end

I think it's too easy to judge without ever living in China. People should always look at both sides, and try to understand the whole situation. Ofc people in China strive for a service which would be able to compete with their current

Cool that you open-source a book - it looks like it contains a solid amount of information. Well done! What I'm missing (couldn't find it on the first glance) is a topic about the performance implications of animations. Most devs

He is referring to https://github.com/dwyl/learn-to-send-email-via-google-scrip... It would be quite easy to check the rsvp code in appscript. E.g. have a sheet with all the guests, and give a random number (rsvp code)

I also saw people having 10 interviews, and then get rejected :,( 8-15 years ago fb/google had 20+ interviews - and reduced the number based on research that after 4 they can predict it really good. They mention 4 in the article, but t

A negative example would be someone who scored good within the interview process, but then performs bad on the job (bad performance rating). Such examples get discussed internally by the hiring committee (senior people doing the last hiring

success criteria is the rating the people get during their performance review which happens twice a year.

Unfortunately it's internal. All faang companies spend a lot of time and resources on hiring to make it more fair for everybody and to get signals faster. And nobody internally enjoys doing a lot of coding interviews - it's as fru

Apparently it's still the best indicator for hiring engineers on large scale. It's proven that there is a big correlation between performing good during an coding interview and performing good during your day-to-day job. Ofc the c

Really like this - I can give this tool to design/product people (ixd, pm, ...) and they can easily manipulate our product, and send over screenshots of issues or improvements. Or present their ideas during a meeting.

Yes, this is so sad. I know so many start-up founders in London who spend nearly every day at the campus in London. It's a free workspace with a lot of benefits, like wifi, cheap snacks/drinks and meeting other founders for kx.

Strive to find people which are way better than you and learn from them. Get a mentor, and any other opportunity of receiving feedback on your stuff. (All of these things will automatically happen at a faang company)

I'm an interview at a FAANG company, and I did and will reject people if I have the feeling that they are not a cultural fit. (e.g. being a dick, arrogant, ...)

99% of people within FAANG are the most friendly people ever. E.g. for Google not being a dick is a hiring criteria (Googleyness).

That might be true for a small percentage of projects/teams. If you want to succeed as a SWE at a FAANG company you'll have to be an exceptional engineer, or have other skills (leadership, pm, ...). You can't just weasle up t

Looks quite cool but why put a server into my flat? :thinking: If I'm somewhere and my internet goes down, I will lose access to everything. And as we all know, stuff will go down at some point (probably at the most inconvenient time).

They merged the most useful features from inbox into the new gmail (1), and (imho) that's a really good move. I'm really happy with gmai (and never was a "true" inbox user though). 1: https://www.blog.google&#
