Why do you need users to register before peeking at the available jobs? Why do users have to risk giving all their information before even reading about what is possible? Just because you can have AI code it, it is not an excuse for bad marketing. Please ask your AI sources about what are common ways that people are willing to try and sign up for new products. Or do some old fashioned research.
Well this is a good start, I tried searching for “Anti-inflammatory” and the app crashed. Likely that scaling is way out of proportion considering it’s here on HN , but do you have any load balancing or caching setup? Debouncing on the inputs?
You're not the only one. I too am also doing somewhat of a similar migration with similar staffing and not enough time, and the project managers and product owners are more concerned ed about the dates they committed to than what us devs need to make it all possible. The last site works, but it has dragons and monsters under the hood.these things take time, but because us devs are not able to clearly estimate.the end of the line, we stick with the too tight time frames...
It's unclear to me what kind of position/stack you are applying for. But I would say if you're finding "pretty advanced calculus problems" in your interview coding challenges, that you may either be applying for positions that require that kind of mathmatic thinking, or the companies themselves do not know how to select relevant gate problems for hiring candidates. It's probably a bit of both, but I would take those as signs that maybe they aren't the kind of company that you want to work for. I have only been a dev professionally for 4+ years, but can say I've been on the other side as the interviewer. The LeetCode/HackerRank hiring code challenges are not without their flaws, but at the same time, there is necessity for assessing candidate's skills in problem solving and their ability to work through coding challenges.
Honestly, someone who is 16 years deep in their software dev/eng. career I would expect to utilize their contact network to find potential jobs above relying on coding challenges and applications. I would expect you to be a Senior level dev who can orchestraste teams and a bit of product/project mangement, if in addition to working on code yourself, demonstrating system and software architecture level prowess and aptitude. These are not so much things that can be solved mathmatically/programattically in a coding interview per ce, unless a hyper-focused chunk is being used as the challenge. But I'm just in the peanut gallery... My advice is to use your network and taylor your resume, use a resume service if you need to -- they can be 3x-10x their weight in making you more attractive as a candidate, as well as perhaps take a new approach towards finding positions to apply to.
Maybe even reach out to people in the past you have worked with and let them know you are looking, and if you have positions you are applying to, pass them the link to the job description and ask if these seem like descriptions of a job that would be appropriate for you. As introverted as so many of us are, we tend to think that we should know how to do everything ourselves. Sometimes, if not many times, we need another set of eyes and perspective on our approach.
The captioning by YT is nice, but it can't translate anything he types on screen. Obviously very skilled, but I'm too American to want to sit through the Chinese video. Probably should have the native language included as part of the title.
Also, a book is only passive learning, so depending on your learning style, it May not prepare you enough for real world interaction. Look into experiential learning, like taking a communications class. Toastmasters is also good. As others have mentioned, active listening... stop trying to solve the problem and just listen to what they are saying, hang on every word, and check in with them every once in a while, just to see how they are or just to see if what you're hearing is what they are saying.
Interestingly enough, I knew that I had the DuckDuckGo Extension already. But then when I checked for it in my icon list of extensions, it wasn't there... Went to the Google Chrome Web Extension Store, it said that I had this extension and it was Disabled!!! I don't remember disabling it myself... maybe I did, or was it Google? I did re-enable it though. Start your conspiracy theories...
