This article misses it. Video game tooling got good enough that the velocity increased massively from 20 years ago where companies were writing their own engines. There might be more folks working in games, but it's probably not the so

You're right you don't just do go out and do that stuff, but it's been delayed by political forces for years. We could have been well past the initial stages by now.

I don't know, if coding is art, then the reviews need to be more personal. Anonymous art criticism usually isn't useful. You'll have to filter too much noise to get a signal. If you have an art mentor who knows you and your w

I mean, if I ask each of the engineers at a company I'm about to join to do a live coding test, they'll just tell me to go away. The reason I would ask this because I don't want to join a team that writes bad code. They would

Well, the test result is pass/fail, and if you can verify I worked at a previous company, then you know I passed. The legwork might be finding out what their interview is like. Every skill degrades without usage, but if you can verify

I took a brief look at a CS GRE test prep book from a Google search, and it probably doesn't cover the same things leetcode does, nor does it really test code writing ability (because it's multiple choice): https://peop

The trainings and certifications won't let you bypass technical interviews though. There's still inherent distrust of them. We need a credential good enough that companies can trust. Most of the recruiters I deal with are only doi

Your first two are pretty bad (possibly panic induced), but the last one might not be realistic. You can rack up multiple years of experience working on low user count apps without knowing those things. You can still write Javascript and so

I kinda feel like we’re headed for stagflation at this point. I don’t even think we can stimulus our way to temporary reprieve.

Plenty of videos of people in the crowd caught saying that they were seeking the chamber and congressional members to stop the certification. Admitting you’re trying to stop the process is an act of resistance against the government.

I can’t help but think there’s been a ton of filters used in the past to figure out if someone is deeply geeky, and we’ll continue to invent more in the future. It’s really looking like another rat race. Especially since there’s no central

This still seems off. If you wanted a deep understanding, you'd go for academic books about algorithms and data structures, then go try the leetcode problems without the coaching advice. Otherwise we're just coaching towards the p
