Some people say that things might start changing soon due to layoffs. I personally very much doubt it.
An interviewer that doesn't show up is really bad. Not matter where you work, you'd probably end up having a chat with HR if you did that twice. Sorry about that buddy!
As we're all sharing some bizarre experiences we've had, I feel I have to chip in. I had 2 very weird interviews with the same FAANG company, before actually joining the company in 2021. Anyway, we're in 2011 and my…
The creator of ZSNES did a very interesting interview a couple of months with Zophar from Zophar's Domain: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iG-oqvj4Tqk
A lot of very nice websites have been shared so far. Here's my modest contribution: https://blanchardjulien.com/ https://javascriptfordatascience.com Your feedback is more than welcome! (Oh and here's "Loulou",my static…
Adding some new features to my static site generator: https://github.com/julien-blanchard/Loulou Glad I ditched Hugo a few months ago.
I really like your website, it's both very clear / easy to navigate and yet unusual. Great work!
I personally blog for the same reason some people play the guitar: I don't care whether what I produce is good or not, or whether people like the articles I write or not. It's just a hobby. Even my girlfriend doesn't…
If anything, I have found my own disability to be a huge plus when looking for a new job. I'm one of these job hoppers and it's been almost 10 years since I have stayed over 3 years within the same company.…
My workmates and I got laid off by our employer (a FAANG company) last summer and I spent 4 months looking for a job (in Ireland). I started using a simple spreadsheet to keep track of all the jobs you apply for:…
Hi Simon, slightly unrelated question. I'm a big fan of your work, and as I've learnt a lot from reading your blog posts over the years, I'd be curious to know a bit more about typical use cases for wanting to work with…
Fantastic article, thanks for sharing.
Merry Christmas buddy. You'll find a ton of public datasets on GitHub [1]. Maven Analytics offers a monthly data analytics challenge [2] that you can enter for free. See their past competitions for some interesting…

This. Switched from Ubuntu to Manjaro a year ago as Ubuntu updates kept on breaking everything: drivers, issues with Python. I also quite like the pieces of software that ship with Manjaro. Especially Kate, which I'm…
Interesting. So you mean more, the content rather than the form? I noticed you used the past tense. How did you get through that if I may ask?
Thanks very much for your positive vibes. Might be that writing for this website has helped! :)
This is my first post on HN, though I've been reading conversations here for years. I would encourage the OP to create their own website and share it with their friends and workmates. I went through a similar journey in…
