Stoked! The developer culture here is superb! A (so-far) hidden gem!

Wow! That's pretty slick. I've only thought of EXIF data in the context of my digital camera.

Yeah that was my understanding as well —- but I’m not a framework author so wasn’t sure if this was a common practice.

Trade-offs aside, I personally find the idea of re-running the request through the stack a bit hacky.

Can someone tl;dr: why there is even logic to bypass middleware in the first-place, I feel like I'm missing something obvious here...

Ah ok, yeah.. unfortnutely this type of lag/mismgmt is pretty common once a company gets big enough. Often times the right people don't get involved on first-pass... even at tech-first companies like this -- though at that point perhaps you're no longer tech-first :/

New comment by johnnyAghands in "I am sick of LeetCode-style interviews"

johnnyAghands — Thu, 06 Jun 2024 03:43:43 +0000

Same here. I miss the days when you were given a take home or, god forbid, a real world problem, something the company has run into that you can work through with an experienced interviewer.

Some of the worst interviews I've had I've felt like I was a lab rat, just being evaluated for specific traits/reactions. The worst part is, like you said, every Tom, Dick, and Henry does this, its somehow become some kind of lazy industry standard hiring practice, hence the explosion of these interview aid services. Some people will argue it serves a purpose, but I really don't see how. It's like memorizing an answer sheet and doing well on a test. Is that really the type of problem solving you're looking for? Don't get me wrong, I do think its important to understand foundational concepts and algorithims, but like.. it's also the first thing thats abstracted away for good reason in the real world. Anyways its shit.

The worst part is even with my experience I still feel like shit after these calls though I should know better.

Yeah I agree, but I think this post is for those cases where this design might be inappropriate, mainly monoliths with single dbs.

I disagree with the whole "you're not Google/FB"/"over arbitary RPS" logic though. If the design makes sense then it makes sense, end of story. Just understand it.. lol
