In my experience, spending 20–30 minutes writing a good spec results in code that is about 90% close to what I expected, which reduces the back-and-forth with the tool. It also helps me clarify and define with some level of precision what I

If you don’t mind learning another language. I have found Learn Concurrent Programming with Go by James Cutajar to be a very practical book. It includes memory sharing and message passing approaches with plenty of examples. It also explains

An alternative is to start declining meetings. Having so many meetings is not healthy neither sustainable. You can bring the topic to your manager and if your attendance is required in all meetings(highly unlikely) then the deadlines should

No, I am sure Threads will be less mean and more friendly but it will be probably more censored. I don't like how Facebook/Instagram(and previously Twitter) censored people, specially during elections.

Yes, I have noticed that their coding capabilities have been reduced greatly. Before, whenever I asked a question. ChatGPT sometimes gave me an incorrect answer, but it was able to fix after a follow-up question. Nowadays, whenever the answ

Design reviews is one of the things I like most. You learn how to write, how to design systems, how to evaluate tradeoffs. You also get feedback from senior engineers. I will suggest that before having the meeting, the engineer should write

There are multiple ways to try to stop this behavior. I will tell you the ways that didn't work for my parents. Turning off the internet, cutting the electricity off, hiding the PC or consoles, knocking the door at night asking if I am

Someone who is 18 is already an adult. Trying to enforce restrictions to an adult will only generate pushback and resentment. At that age, it is too late. You can let him play and live that way or you may try to fix it. The later will only

1.5 years will pass so quickly you won't even notice. It's true that there are a lot of self-taught people that are able to land software engineering jobs without a formal CS education. However, CS degrees are still relevant and t

Sure, you can go to SpaceX and Tesla and work on cool ideas and projects. The downside is that your pay is going to be lower and you will probably work more hours. You can go to a traditional FANG company and earn more money and you may wor

You can try any free online bootcamp. Freecodecamp seems to be good for web development(JavaScript, HTML, CSS, etc). Then, you can try building some side projects(maybe music related). Good luck!

Surprised this news reached Hacker News. The major was kind of lazy. We used to joke we didn't have a mayor. In summary, he won't be missed.

Mine seems to be working fine. I usually have Slack, Discord, Chrome and Pycharm opened. However, when I try to play video games I can see the downgrade in performance. It starts to heat and becomes noisy. This combined with the lack of gam

I would say that 6 months of experience is good for someone starting his career. You don't need to provide more details that needed. Just say, you are looking for new challenges or any other standard answer. Don't stress too much

I created a Facebook account almost 10 years ago when I was at school. I keep my account because it is the only social network my old friends and family use. I like to see how they are doing. Some of them got married, some of them have chil

It could because of two reasons. 1. You updated your LinkedIn location. 2. You started a new job so it is very unlikely you will want to switch jobs. Don't worry. In a couple of months you will get more messages than before.

This is a common problem when working at large companies. Most of the time, the job is no fun. I think one of the reason we are paid so much is that at large companies, we need to do a lot of things. We need to navigate multiple services, c

I prefer interviews that ask leetcode questions because they are standard. I can prepare once and interview with multiple companies. The alternatives are take-home projects, pair-programming sessions which in my opinion are very subjective

It helps. I got my current job through LinkedIn. Also recently, I started to get contacted by recruiters from Meta, Microsoft through LinkedIn. Most of the offers you will get won't be interesting but overall I think it is worth it.

Before the pandemic I used to go to meetups frequently. You will see and interact with same the people over and over again, so there a chance that you can get friends that way.
