How do you all feel about interviewing and being compared against people that are straight up cheating with the rise of these tools that are hidden during screensharing? I don't even want to interview anymore until I…

After 13 years in SWE, working for startups, bigger companies, the golden handcuffs, etc, I can finally say that I think I'm finished. Right now I'm contracting to stay afloat, maintain flexibility and delve into…

To give more background, I became the manager of a team that historically was heavily underserviced. Regardless, we're whipping it into shape now, but our client engineers (ios/android) are losing motivation as a lot of…

I have a team member that has been working on the side on getting a comp sci degree and wants to transition into backend engineering. I know what it takes to ramp someone up when they're full time, but is there any tips…

I have about a decade of experience as an engineer and now about 2 as an EM. My goal ultimately is to own a business, perhaps start one. I'm not necessarily hyper focused on doing a tech unicorn startup, and am…

No matter where I have worked so far, I have not found any company that has a really good knowledge database whether it's in the form of text, or even spoken word. Complicated products have many facets and no one person…

I'm in a position of potentially going to be first engineer and am really not sure what to ask and gauge whether going from a cushy job to a risky startup is worth it? They have customers, but not many, as well as a…

Have you known any devs that became CTO at early stage startup and grew to be REALLY good at their roles? I feel like it's a trend for young inexperienced first dev hires to become CTO as a cool title, and eventually…

I'm curious whether any of you here have went from being a developer to a designer and how did you do it, and whether you liked your life now? I ask because I think my drive for development work is really drying up and…
