Yeah, but did they fail to build the right things...or did they just write bad code that didn't work? I would assume the former, but you're right, it's hard to quantify.
My CEO said something the other day at an all-hands, someone asked what concerns him and he said velocity and then followed it up with not that we're moving slowly but rather he's worried we're building fast just in the wrong direction. I think this happens a lot.
I can't think of a single company that failed because they didn't have unit tests, or they chose the wrong DB. I'm sure they're out there, maybe, but it's more common you're going to fail because you built the wrong thing vs the code wasn't tested, no?
This, I've been using it daily for small tasks instead of google and it's faster and better.
"Write a mongo query in node that gets x,y,z and then returns only the q,w,e fields sorts by y"
is one I just wrote. Since I don't write mongo queries often I forget the syntax
This might be another post once I'm done but in total I was in contact with 51 companies. Most contacted me, and a bunch I reached out to. I'm tracking everything in Notion but I think about 10-15% didn't get back to me, most moved onto a first round and then what happened after that varies. I stopped the process on about eight of them after I had four companies I was interested in. I'm now at three offers and the forth backed out because someone else accepted the offer while they were putting mine together. Pretty good run though.
Base is higher than I was making at Twitter, but instead of RSU/ESPP it's now options which can go either way, so it's a gamble. For me, I prefer startups, but the golden handcuffs are hard to takeoff once you've had them on for a while.
I went out of my way to not do leetcode so I only had one because Glassdoor was wrong. I would ask the recruiter during the initial call where I also talked about salary so as yo not waste everyone's time. I cancelled a few interviews that I later found out were leet code, not because I don't want to do them but more I think the people you end up working with are better at testing than coding, from my experience.
Laid off from Twitter three weeks ago, lots of interest and cool companies out there. I binged interviews and have three offers to consider. Senior eng with 20 years experience
Heh, I'm sure you're one of guys that always comments how you don't understand how company X has so many employees, and that you could just write the entire app in a weekend. lol.
Note, I didn't say I spend two weeks writing it. If you read the original post you would know that I was doing it to refresh and learn new skills so research and planning went into it to.
You win the Internet today bud, thanks for playing.
edit: Holy hell, you're toxic. You comments are always negative, I feel bad for you man, I do...
I do think some companies are starting to see this. I interviewed with two young (<25) people yesterday and she said they're /too young/ and all the "experienced" people have left so they're now slow and have issues with tech design and debt so they're trying to backfill experienced people now. It was pretty clear what she meant and why I was being interviewed.
I'm not seeing this right now. I'm almost 42, just laid off, should have three offers this week after only three weeks of looking. I have lots of white hair...I think it's all in the presentation and expectations.
Heh, I was a lifer until some billionaire bought the company and laid me off even though I've been a top performer for years. You never know what life will throw at you, best to prepare for the worst just in case Space Karen comes for you next.
Yeah, honestly there are similar things and other things that do this better if your goal is to just run a blog. This was a simple project I figured I could finish in two weeks and refresh some skills along the way while using some new libraries and technologies.
Cool. That's not really the purpose of this though, but github pages works for a bunch of people. SPA and SSR are not anything like this, or github pages for that matter...
It's weird this is an issue. I don't think I ever edited a page when I posted on a blog and I maintain a couple WordPress blogs for businesses and associations and they never update posts after they've published either. I don't think it's as uncommon as you think, that or maybe people need to proofread before publishing?
Easy and I've never really used it before so I can add that to my skillset.
This was a project I wanted to finished in two weeks so I didn't put a ton of time into it.
It is anonymous but you're trusting the provider. The payment isn't tied to a page. No logs are kept. It's open source, but, in theory I could be running a version that does log or keep records but I have to reason to.
It's a project I did in 9 days, it's not perfect or done. ;)
Practical safety? It's a single page not a bank account. It's odd you would jump to that conclusion without know the dictionary. You don't think 5^1000 is secure enough for a single page?
If you edit your pages, use a blog. This service isn't for the person that wants mutable pages. Different strokes my friend
There is no promotion or even an index page to list out what pages exist. The pages can be indexed by search engines if they're submitted. An idea for the future would be to allow people to opt in/out of notifying search indexes or making the pages not crawlable if they want
I'm the userbase! I built it for myself and now I'm sharing it with the world. I doubt there is a huge market but even if a fee people find it useful that's good enough for me!
I've done all the static site generators, I just don't post enough to justify the maintenance, if you do they're probably a better solution! As is, it's pretty basic but I want to add features that GitHub pages don't support
Agreed. That's me rushing to get it done this week, these were links to published Single Pages with more details but the content wasn't done so I removed them.
Yeah, the secret phrase is the only way to delete the page once it's been published. It wouldn't be a big leap to accept crypto, the fees would just be crazy though for a single page. Thanks for the comment
