as someone who’s been in your position my intuition is the rose colored glasses view as well. i don’t know the situation exactly, of course. there are other excellent jobs out there. you are not your job. good luck with wherever this change

so cool. the competitive quake 3 ctf scene was this for me. IRC from 97-2005ish was a beautiful time on the internet for me. discord seems close but doesn’t quite match that world for me for some reason.

how about a tree traversal algorithm when you're about to become a developer on a CRUD app? edit: someone downvoted this -- i'd love to know why you think an inorder, preorder, and/or postorder implementation would help in an

i started https://hourly.fyi about a month ago. it was inspired by a reddit post asking for such a thing to exist. i didn’t think it would get a large response right away but a couple advertisers have reached out and i’m beginni

big agree on contracting interviews being light. i’ve had about a dozen in the last year and only 2 asked technical questions. the rest were more curious about time lines and cost.

thanks for clearing this up for the large swaths of us who only read the headline. most of us are devs and as a result, pretty well off to varying degrees. pay other devs for software you find useful.
