One Punch Man originated as a very poorly drawn web comic (as in, the author had no training in arts whatsoever[0]). Its claim to fame is that it's a parody of the superhero genre, in which most characters worry about status, except

I've seen a somewhat surprising amount of bad from Apple FWIW. Uber is kind of this weird snowflake because it grew its eng org way too fast then shed a ton of people in their layoffs. In my observation, the really good people either c

The overarching theme I'm seeing is one of FB jumping into whatever format bored people turn to, then slowly cramming it w/ ads until those eyeballs drift to the next fad, rinse and repeat. Regardless of how one might dislike it,

I mean, if you don't have a stock position, why parrot the same tired narrative? It's not adding any insight and it's not like their stock never had downswing before. At one point the crowd here was like oh fb ipo so embarras

Hey Alex, fancy seeing you here :) I'm going to agree that the "if you want me, do some work first" thing seems a bit overkill. For me, usually just a single sentence asking for salary range and job description gives me more

My takeaway from the article wasn't to work with every recruiter that spams you (in the sense of actually spending time in their funnel), but rather, take the opportunity to "interview them" with a "standardized test&quo

It looks most similar in scope to petite-vue or alpine.js The usage of <template> tags instead of a x-cloak, x-src and similar attributes feels nice and clean to me. I'm curious if you've dogfooded known pitfalls of the dom-

It can go both ways. At work, I periodically get in contact with an extremely large codebase that is actively worked on by multiple teams. One complaint I heard was that people doing willy-nilly things cause setbacks to efforts to make proj

Some perspective from the interviewer side: just tell us straight up that you're panicking. While I can't guarantee that an elitist smug interviewer is going to always respond appropriately, I at least would make an effort to try

Interviews are, by definition, a way to discriminate candidates based on some criteria (using the dictionary meaning of word here). There are certain classes that are illegal to discriminate against (e.g. religion, ethnicity), but things li

I think it's a bit more nuanced than that. Speaking as someone w/ experience on the interviewer side, there are two types of interviewers: the smug ones that evaluate on whether the presented solution matches the one on the answer

Yeah, the lack of specification for Typescript is quickly turning into the Achilles heel for the web tooling ecosystem. Several projects got the parsing part done, but a lack of specification and the relatively fast release cycle means it i

As the job interview adage goes, you're interviewing them just as much as they're interviewing you. If you're dabbling in the market to see what's available while things are good, you don't have as much pressure to

From what I've seen, there's indeed very little consistency in titles, if any. As you mentioned, a few places consider senior to be higher than staff, some have a distinction between senior (SWE), staff and senior staff, and some

I mean, you can go all the way to the deep end, but like any tool, there are good reasons to be pragmatic, and avoid just using a tool for its own sake. Sure, you can get lost in fantasy land[0] algebras if you really want to, but general
