It seems absurd to recommend a teaching language without any consideration for the technical merits of the language to me. The argument in the article is among the lines of lets use javascript because it has the most…
Yeah the interview process is kind of a mess sorry. If anything getting 3 offers out of 14 applications is a pretty good offer rate imo.
Getting everyone to come to a consensus on what should or shouldn't be included would be very difficult. Then there's also the issue of backwards compatibility. At the end of the day they're opt in so you can just…
I've found it quite practical for getting things done, there's a higher learning curve then something like python though. From a career perspective it's hard to recommend anything that isn't one of the top most used…
I've gotten vscode working well on Windows with the haskero plugin. You'll need to install stack for this to work correctly.
That's quite an exaggeration, there's already written packages in emacs for lots of programming languages. Just need to add the package to your config.
It has nothing to do with job hoppers deserving more money, it's more that companies don't typically pay those who stick around as well. The job hopper would be more likely to already be making more money, therefore…
I think it has more to do with electron using JavaScript imo. JavaFx exists for a more modern java cross platform GUI
The median pay across the whole US for software engineers is quite a bit higher then the median income for all professions. Or are you referring to a different country?
No approach will ever make everyone happy, but some people would be happy with those deals. It's only natural to want to work on interesting problems and be paid well & I don't think there's anything wrong with striving…
If software engineers are really so easy to replace then why hasn't it happened? They're currently paid more then most professions so clearly businesses would take a cheaper path if available.
Sure, but as a one man operation trying to get Google level reliability is out of the budget.
I would argue the companies pay the price of training anyways via the higher cost of hiring the hard to find specialist.
Yeah this is very ugly on both sides. A basic contract would've saved everyone a lot of grief.
this is pretty awesome, hopefully they'll release some more details about how it was implemented
Is job searching really at a point now where hiring people to mass apply to jobs for you is an actual suggestion?
Yeah I'm not sure it's that much of a blessing either. Lots are interested in talking to me, but most of the jobs are a bad fit and it's fairly time/energy consuming to figure out which recruiters have positions that…
Exactly by the time you could formally prove the application is correct, the market will have moved on to something different. Right now the combination of quick to develop and mostly correct seems to be more desirable…
Yeah I agree, in theory a large corporation should have lots of money to pay your startup. However in reality being dependent on one big prospect to make or break your startup is a situation set up for failure.
It certainly does feel like job interviews are a coin flip to me after having done many interviews.
In the interviews I've had so far the 'how much are you making' question comes up at the beginning of the process almost everywhere. It's an obvious lowball play, anywhere that is super aggressive about asking for this…
I think the problem is that individual teams will make decisions that make sense for their own individual team. These decisions may not make sense for the larger organization as a whole (ie. having every team working in…
I haven't (since I'm not in charge of hiring), but I've had to work with multiple people that simply couldn't code to save their lives which was quite frustrating.
I agree the quote disregards the why. Why did your approach fail to get the results desired and would your chances of the desired outcome improve with a change. Some analysis must be done of the situation.
So according to this article, most jobs aren't posted and most jobs are filled through referrals. Even if you somehow make it through the arbitrary automated tracking system gatekeeper you're still really unlikely to…
