Based on the description they are doing a multi stage build, but using the prod container as a base and then building the dev container atop that. But yes you could easily go the other way with dev building an artifact and adding it to a s

I'm general, it's an anti pattern since it's makes everything much more complicated. The typical reason to have it is so that there are dev tools in the dev container (autoformatter, linter etc) or support for hot reloading a

This is honestly very common, especially for first time managers. I've seen this happen at least 5+ times. Keep in mind that switching back to an IC time doesn't preclude you from being a manager in the future, and I'm fact m

I've used pants at a small company <10 engineers and worked at a company migrating to Bazel with 200+ engineers. Bazel used to take a dedicated engineer 3-6+ months to bootstrap the full setup (creating the build files, seeing up th

What you're describing is more secure and I do know several people that do this, sometimes with syncing via Dropbox. But it's a battle against convenience and user experience and requires a fair amount of technical expertise to se

This is the type of feature that makes me want to use F#. Really great work, I would love to see similar work replicated in other languages (python's type checking libs especially). As an outsider it feels like the Bazel/Buck&#x2F

Ruff isn't quite at feature priority with the tools it's replacing (although it's close). The main benefits to using ruff is that it's great enough to run regularly locally without being noticable, even on large codebase

Graphql offers benefits for a few types of architecture (typically microservices or when you are supporting multiple clients such as Android/iOS clients). If you don't have these, then Graphql primarily adds complexity

I would email the recruiter back asking for feedback on the project. The worst they can say is no, and at best you get some insight into their reasoning. Code review: For a senior dev, I would expect tests even if I didn't ask for them
