I have more respect for only fans models then fellow software developers nowadays. At least only fans models produce something others find valuable. We don't provide anything valuable anymore.

Competitive programming is the funniest thing I've ever heard. Leetcode in an interview and I end the interview immediately because I know everyone I work with is probably a corporate bootlicker. Because who else would study something as useless as leetcode. People who grow up learning by rote love leetcode though because they just memorize the answers.

React did not revolutionize the web. The fuck are you talking about?

The companies thought of having good engineers don't actually have good engineers. When there's a "prestige" with working somewhere it attracts the worst personalities in the field.

It ain't the same as the Bell Labs days. They try to larp as if they are the computer scientists of old but none of them are. They are just there for the salary and prestige and that's it.

I have no respect for React, React Native and GraphQL. They are all horrible and don't solve actual problems. They aren't even the best tools to accomplish what they're trying to accomplish.

I don't know anything about the other things so I can't say if they are good or not. But acting as if react is some big invention is crazy. bell Labs gave us Unix and C. Meta isn't even close to inventing something like that.

I think the crazy thing is people think redis is the only thing that catches in memory.

You could throw a bunch of your production data in SSAS tabular and there you go you have an in memory cache. I've actually deployed that as a solution and the speed is crazy.

yeah the name of the game now is just to avoid any company that has shitty recruitment. you can tell in an instant if they are worth your time or not, which I'd say in Canada is about 90% a waste of time.

someone who actually wants to hire will want you and wants to do whatever they can to get a good candidate.

if your interviews are easily cheatable you should probably fix the interviews. back in the day when i was in university we were allowed to use any resources for exams cause you couldnt cheat easily.

anyone I know who actually got a job through leetcode style in the last 2 years cheated. they would get their friends to mirror monitor and then type the answers in from chatgpt LOL

im not doing any coding challenges that aren't real world

if i see anything remotely challenging i dip out. interviewing is just a numbers game nowadays so i dont waste time on interviews if they seem like they're gonna burn me out for the rest of the day. granted i have 11 years experience
