Methinks it’s a good enough method to somehow get good enough candidates. Hiring is hard because it’s a negotiation: sellers always upsell their skills and buyers gotta figure it out. Negotiation is skill that not everyone has so at least b

I think the problem the author is referring to is it stopped being about Math and much more about impressing random strangers for the chance to gain an opportunity. My experience is similar to you - I too really enjoyed my time doing these

I got the opposite: I was really curious about some security stuff so I wrote a chat system over Tor (which was actually quite difficult!) and used that project as my main showcase when I was in college. Anyways, I didn’t get a single job w

I absolutely love this feature so much. I work at a competitor of Monzo and this is definitely something I'll bring up with our Product team to see if we are thinking about this.

I’ve been using Soundcloud since I was 14 and still keep it up. It more or less has the same songs (with some exclusions here and there) and it has tons of mixes which are lovely. I love having lofi on as i code so i got a few 2 hour mixes

K&R C has to be my pick. I love it because it not only teaches you C and how to implement some of the standard functions but also there's enough pearls of wisdom in there to really help you improve as a programmer.

You don’t have to go nuclear big to be successful. Decide your own goals, don’t let someone decide it for you.

I really feel this: I wrote my own photo roll app PURELY because I wasn't able to find a decent photo roll app which just let me simply tag my images (all of them let me use create albums but sometimes, you want an image in two albums?

My hunch is that this club won’t work because it fundamentally is just another distraction from the goal here: which is to actually do something. Just do it. (Digression) “One of the realizations has been that I read too much, take too many

One idea I tried was calculating the exact timestamp in seconds when the timer would end and showing the user the difference between the timestamp RN and the timer for that happening. That way if the user turned off their screen and came ba

I’ve built one of these before as a way of learning NextJS. One challenge I had was because it was a web app, it acted weirdly compared to if I had done it as a native app. You say you want to move from the monitor and relax the brain but y

TBH, the big book trick lasted only so long until it got full of work I didn’t care about later. I went full insane and wrote my own client app which let me take pictures of my art and version them as I was working through them. Cause I did

I am working on a note taking tool which is like Notion and Apple Notes had a baby. As an engineer, I gotta take a lot of notes for my own personal use. I found apps like Notion way too overkill and expensive, Obsidian required way too much
