   Hi Scott! Are the posted salary ranges annual?

   Thanks for this. I've been dabbling with code for ~20 years, have the diploma and the t-shirt, but I lack the mentorship. I feel like it would be even more helpful in this time as I attempt to pivot from my general-IT career with dev a

   I've (mostly quietly) enjoyed the "vibe" of HN for well over a decade now. It's certainly a major contribution to maintaining enjoyment in the crazy world of tech. Thank you for your contributions to this community which

   Hard to say - but giving without the expectation of return can certainly lead to future gain. I highly respect the company that did schedule a feedback session and it certainly made them one that I will continue to watch for opportunities r

   That makes sense. I guess I was only considering what my own response would be to receiving feedback. I think I'll just change my approach to just trying to articulate genuine appreciation for the opportunity to interview in the first

   Thank you for the valuable feedback, and positive nudge. I am trying to get creative in how I introduce myself to organizations to make a good first impression without coming off as "creepy," i.e. trying to connect or send a messa

   I say average as I'm at about 60 for the past 60 days. Some days 0, some days 15. As an attempt to increase my success rate I have limited most of my applications to specifically target my most comfortable stack as well as focusing on

   I have been trying this approach to some extent, but with a non-existent network it has essentially boiled down to using LinkedIn Premium features to guess who within the org might be close to the area the position is for. Thank you for the

    Are there examples of these types of actions in other circles outside of the .NET ecosystem? I knew about the FluentAssertions ordeal, but the Moq thing was news to me. I guess I've just missed it all.

    If I had that leverage, I certainly would hard-pass, but the market just isn't there right now. I have hands-on dev experience (and the education) in different roles, but none of those roles are solely as a "software developer,&qu

    I've had two "Online Assessments," as they're called, in the past couple of weeks and they're even weirder than that now. The request access to my desktop, webcam, microphone, akin to a proctored exam. They don&#x27

    I agree that it doesn't make much sense. You would think if you're even close to being considered they'd want to keep the bridge intact for next time. I wonder if there is some kind of legal liability involved with sharing fe

    What do you expect is the reason this happens? I would suspect your skill assessment after a handful of interviews is sound and most people liked you. Do you think you just run into a person eventually that doesn't vibe?

    For my current situation, which is essentially a career field switch, I try to balance the possibility of running into someone like you in an interview (which I think would suit my situation best) and getting to the interview to begin with.

    I very rarely over the past 15+ years have had/remembered having a dream, and oddly that seems to have started being the case after trying to practice lucid dreaming. Most of the dreams I do have seem to be when I nap on the couch duri

    Ah, the nostalgia. Dreamweaver was pivotal for me in my early teens to be able to copy other sites code to see how things were built out and learn HTML + CSS. If I remember correctly, it was really the only way to go to make image maps when

    Same. A very simplified version of bullet journaling does quite a bit for me to track tasks. I basically just use three bullets ( - for information, * for an item requiring action, and > to indicate i need to keep moving that task forwar

    Spoiler alert: the real answer is, like almost everything else in this industry (and most others), "it depends."

    In that case I'd say it seems to have proven effective for Musk multiple times now, so why stop now? In his experience, he can just keep shit-canning feds until something immediately bad happens - say he is sorry and give them a job ba

    I have certainly been doing that. I have actually just gotten a couple of responses from some applications inviting me for an interview. Kind of a taxing way to potentially get some human feedback, but I guess we'll see how it goes.

    I can't help but feel that Git has completely missed the forest through the trees that you can make a 30+ part guide explaining how to use it.

    My thoughts were that he was describing my Garmin Fenix pretty closely. GPS on-device means I can use all features un-tethered from a phone. I don't use the sleep tracking so I'm not sure how well it does in that arena compared to
