Intriguing work! I hadn’t realized they made grinder/brew combo machines…

Building a GUI or TUI would be a fun addition too!

Second that, everything just pops

That's inspiring. Did you have to put up a portfolio of personal projects before switching to that?

Other comments in this thread mention that dilemma as well. I'm in the same position trying to get Golang jobs, coming as a junior dev then running an IT service business.

How did you find the timecube site?

Phishing awareness is one thing.

When they check emails, they should always double check who is sending it. One common question I get asked - "Is this email legit?", where the email claims to be Microsoft, Google, etc. saying they _need_ to click this link to do X for their account.

If I have a project I’m working on, mostly reading GitHub repo’s or documentation on the go

What's your contact?

Guess it depends on the niche you're looking for. Automotive forums are alive and well.

What's the hire/no-hire balance between soft-skills and leetcode performance in the interview rounds?

Never thought twice about it until now

> Also do discord groups count as forums?

For myself, I wouldn’t count it. I have a hard time searching for past information on discord. In my experience, forum posts do a good job of keeping the conversation at-hand focused.

I feel the same. With forums, I feel it’s easier to get familiarized with other users. Not sure why, but it definitely feels more communal than Reddit

My favorite is definitely Tacoma world, which is probably most active because the platform is still alive. The E46 forums are not quite as active but the folks that are have incredible knowledge

> Hmm. I guess one man's dystopia is another man's utopia.

That does seem true for most sci-fi stories!

I would think the dystopian aspect is lack of entry for smaller businesses to reach those potential customers

Yep and the downloadable 3D files are especially helpful when designing with those parts in mind!

Never understood why sites do that. Do they expect me to stick around and click some ads? I usually just close the tab and move on

I've been grinding leetcode for an interview in about less than a month too. Similar to your situation (not familiar with trees, graphs, etc.). But have been getting the hang of the easy/medium problems thanks to resources on Youtube, etc. There's sites that show you common patterns and commonly asked questions:

https://neetcode.io (My go to)

https://www.techinterviewhandbook.org/grind75

https://seanprashad.com/leetcode-patterns/

If you want a study partner, I would be down. Best of luck

+1 for the STAR method, I find it helps with off-the-cuff answers too as it keeps me focused.

I gave them my ID and they still wouldn't give me my hacked account back anyway

I recently took up Golang and had a great time building an IRC client. I was never around when IRC was bigger, but I enjoy hanging out on it now. Kinda reminded me of how HAM radio guys must feel about building their own rig.

I'm a systems/software engineer with just over 2 years of experience. Previously worked in the defense sector and worked as a freelancer/consultant after 2020.

Been learning Go recently too and WebRTC sounds like a great path. I realize this is a educational resource, but I wish all codebases were laid out like this! Each file and its purpose clearly laid out.
