The key word here is “theoretically”. These cross platform solutions are great in theory - who wouldn’t want to share code across all platforms? It’s a great sell, especially to the folks holding the purse. The reality though is it doesn’t

Ive been an iOS dev for 10 years now and every few years a new cross platform framework comes along. They all suck. Either the development experience is awful, or the user experience is awful. Actually, it's usually both. The thing

I think this attitude of making sure each junior engineer has someone senior answer every question as soon as it comes up is doing a disservice to our junior engineers. One of the most important qualities of a senior engineer is that they

You could pick up some contract work on Upwork. Set a really low rate and then work up. Pick a niche and specialize. After you do some contracts and get some good experience under your belt, register as an LLC and give yourself a title - s

It is none's business about why you left (or are leaving) your previous job, unless perhaps it is due to some legal issue that would show up on a (criminal) background check. Interviewing for a new job is all about the future, and it&

I'm not so sure. AAA estimates that it costs $10,728 to own and operate a new vehicle per year which is driven 15,0000 miles per year. This includes all the costs like depreciation, maintenance, gas, insurance, etc, and works out to

It really depends on who stays and who goes. Big organizations are collections of individual teams. Each key part of the site has a team behind it with 5 - 10 engineers. If the departures are such that for each team, 1 competent senior en

To be fair, I am not saying college can't be that kind of experience too! But when a company is looking for a college degree, they aren't looking to make sure their employees experienced enlightenment in a poetry class. They are

That was my point as well - its not what you learn in college, its that you can learn something . I am not a proponent of Leetcode (and suck at it personally), but I think the same concept applies - just shows you can learn an arbitrary p

Searching slack is a superpower. You can solve problems you have zero domain knowledge in just by searching for past instances of that problem. As someone not particularly social, it’s an amazing way to get unblocked without relying on ano

It could also signal that you got motivated and took many hours out of your busy day to do a meaningless task like memorize a path finding algorithms. This might be a good signal that you will also be motivated to spend many hours doing me

Even if my client thinks I am billing hourly, in my head, I am billing by the day, which happens to cost about 8 times the hourly rate I quoted them.

On my last team, I had an incompetent junior engineer. It was a time suck to do hold countless pairing sessions with them, answering the same questions again and again without having them learn anything. On my new team, there is an incompe

It is my opinion that the extra inconvenience that in-person folks have to do it dial into a meeting and use a virtual whiteboard is worth it to allow remote folks to fully participate. But ultimately it comes down to how strongly a compan

Not sure I agree - the hybrid model where some are in office and some on video is unfair to the remote folks. Watching coworkers whiteboard from a zoom call makes it much harder to collaborate as the remote employee. It’s also harder to g

Not much of an Elixir developer but if I saw that snippet in code review I would flag it for readability. Just because you can write something in 3 lines of code using lots of nesting and anonymous functions and variables doesn’t mean you s

I’ve been employed by everyone from small consulting firms to big tech to FAANG and I’ve never seen anyone let go for performance. This includes serial low performers that produced nothing for years. Aside from a very few (like 1 or 2) se
