abbiyaon Ask HN: Are you ok?

I have been attending lot of interviews but not able to go through even the first rounds. I have nearly 7years experience in the industry. I mostly work on backends. I worked on iOS Android php node Java golang projects. My recent project included writing APIs backed by hyperledger using node. I also have a hacker news spin called 8hrs.xyz

Most of the interviews feel like a test. Not one of them gives me feedback even though I specifically asked for it. Lot of interviewers just ask questions from geeksforgeeks. I know data structures and algorithms are as important as other things. I know I lack grip on Ds and algos. Not that I don't like working for current company but its been 3yrs here. I'm not married yet. My mother always worries about that. No girlfriend, it's just Indian thing. I am going bald. My eyesight is decreasing and I blame computers for that. My last three meetings with girl's family side went sideways. It gives me anxiety to look at people talk about what happens if ones skill set goes obsolete. I used find it hard to stay feeling ignored by everyone and about the whole living. I did green and alcohol. After a long period of high I stopped all that and started going to gym, relearning mathematics with the help of YouTube and online resources. I took up photography. My nieces love me. I learned to ignore the bullshitters and started trying to live a good life.

abbiyaon How Hacker News Stays Interesting

check this out https://www.8hrs.xyz/

The site shows all the top page articles since last 8hrs. I am not sure if this will be useful for hn readers. I am the author.

abbiyaon Show HN: Hacker news front page links since last 8hrs

a button like that will be good to program. i looked to see how it can be done. usually the links a page will be shown differently if they were visited. we cant get the visited links info from js (https://stackoverflow.com/a/7291538).

the list is updated and sometimes it will have less than 30 or more than 70 links. 30 links can be shown in a single page. when there are more than 70, a btn like above will be useful. Will definitely add this btn if the site gets regular visits.

Thanks for the suggestion.

abbiyaon Show HN: Hacker news front page links since last 8hrs

I think this is simple enough to be useful. Banned/Flagged posts will be striked out. 8hrs seem reasonable time frame. It is only for people who read HN mostly and contribute to HN rarely.

abbiyaon Show HN: Hacker news front page links since last 8hrs

Yes, it will show the top posts for last 8hrs. In 8hrs time any article that made it to front page of hn will be available.

When I want to catch up on the hn activity while I was asleep I will come to this.

abbiyaon Show HN: Stop refreshing HN
