I would argue that a good process always has a good self correction mechanism built in. This way, the work done by a "low quality" software developer (this includes almost all of us at some point in time), is always taken into acc

Interesting idea but what exactly is a dev test for you? And when does it qualify as a ci test?

I had quiet a ride myself with that topic. For years my opinion was, that I dont want to, as the auther here suggests as well, go with tdd as long as I dont know exactly what I need. Than I switched over and used tdd for everything with a m

I would go a step further and dont let juniors use LLMs for code generation. The purpose and your role as a junior is to not only work but also to learn. When using genrated code, you miss a lot of opportunities to do so. Of course you coul

Today, if someone uses LLMs for code generation, he/she will probably question the generated code and will put his own judgement above it. I am curious how fast that will change, especially for juniors. When will they start to question

Maybe you are right and it could be a good "first aid" :)

Yeah, kind of like that. What would be needed to get curated are the facts. Who could do it, would be the author of the original article. Maybe the author just needs to flag the wrong facts. In my, obviously very well minded view, an author

I like that comment, gave me a smile :D You are truly correct, thats why I asked if something like that already exists.

I kind of like your idea but in my head I always bounce back to "Is that a problem technology can or should solve?" IMHO the underlying problem is that people dont care that much anymore for each other, especially strangers. And t

I am in germany, so by far not the same situation as in other areas of the world. If I would get such an assignment myself and I have the feeling that this will help the company and also me to verify, if it is a fit, I will do that 1 to 3 h

We did a lot of these assignments and no one assumed that they will be hired if they complete it. Its about how you communicate your intent. I always told the candidates, that the goal of the task is 1. to see some code and if some really b

I myself just get to drink some water. If its possible I would highly recommend getting some sunlight right at the start of your day and what also helped me in the past (I know, sounds a bit strange) is to just tidy up your bed.

What is it, that sparks your interest in industrial automation? I would recommend on focusing on the stuff you want to instead of focusing what you dont want to do. So dont think about "I dont want to stay in ML" but for example

As some others suggested I would also recommend to try to make an experiment. Identify one part of your software suite you think you can build, operate and do the maintenance for. Aim to do it as fast as possible. Test if you can resolve t

Okay, I didnt thought about such an early state.

The underlying belief to this is, is that more hours = more results = better results. I highly doubt that this is the truth.

I myself lead a software development team. I am 31 and the last two people I hired were almost 50 and they are very good devs. In my opinion age alone isnt a reason not to hire someone. What is the "common reason" older people ar

99% of candidates come through some 3rd party recruiter (in our case). They know our ranges and communicate this. The other 1%, well I just dont do, no special thoughts. Its not in my intention to push compensation down. This only has futur

% in company not a thing here. I ask for a salary range from the candidate. If that meets the range I can potentially offer, I say so. If it is too high, I also say so. If it is lower than usual and it is a final match, our offer will be hi

Actually telling things you like is a good thing. Why would it be a bad thing? Getting zero job offers is mostly, at least from my experience, a result of lacking the needed soft or hard skills (sadly errors can occure here - false negative

I did not think this gets so much attention. A lot of the points you all wrote are correct. But still, if I am looking to fil a full time position (of course this is written in the ad...) and you dont want to work full time than this is tot

Context: I do recruiting as a team lead. I am happy you found what you were looking for. But from my pov, if you want to work less than fulltime and thats a non negotiable thing for you, please be open up front with the people who interview
