Last.fm was probably my first social network, although it probably doesn't make it justice to call it that! I am still scrobbling after so many years! Loved this article. Really good memories... Thx for sharing
I have been a big fan of Atuin CLI and an active promoter for a while now! It has truly become one of the first pieces of software I install in any brand new machine. Excited to try Atuin desktop now. Great work to Ellie and the rest of the team. Looking forward to seeing what's next!
That's a really cool implementation! I hope I'll have some time soon to have a peek at the code. I am honestly a bit surprised to see that none of the major cloud providers are even thinking to leverage WASM and WASI for serverless...
We need more articles as polished as this one. WebGL is a topic I wanted to get into for a while now but it's really difficult to find good content about it. Please keep sharing more experiments!
When I interview candidates, for me the coding interview is an opportunity to see how the candidate reasons about a problem, how they communicate their thoughts and if they are able to ask for help or get pieces of advice and action on them.
Whether they can solve the problem or not it's almost secondary. Of course, there are expectations based on the level for that role, but I prefer to hire someone that fits the team culture rather than some random rockstar developer.
If the candidate can do the exercise correctly and efficiently that's, of course a plus, but again, not a blocker.
Finally, I do think that for more senior roles it is good to also try to have a whiteboard session where you can discuss more high level / architectural problems. This will help to get a full picture on the level of expertise of the candidate and it's another opportunity to have a conversation and see how the candidate explains their idea or react to rapidly evolving scenarios.
I hope this opinion helps, but keep in mind it is only my opinion :)
Did you try to find for online spaces (reddit, fb groups or other) where you can get an audience that might have the problem you are trying to solve.
Your problem might be a niche problem, but unless the niche is extremely small, there must be places online where you can get a relevant audience and throw the idea at them to start collecting some feedback.
It is also possible that the problem you see is not perceived by other people, so always take a critical stance towards your own idea. Try to evaluate based on facts and not your own passion.
Growing vegetables... the mistery of nature unfolds before your eyes. And yet, some of that mistery is still concealed and at times you feel like witnessing a bit of magic!
You are not forced to follow what everyone else is doing today. If you are more comfortable with vanilla JS and a bit of jQuery there is nothing wrong with going down that path (even for new projects).
I think new frameworks they do solve some problems, but so I do recommend to check them out. If you still don't feel like they will help you out for your given project, just stick to what you know and focus on building a great application, more than on which tools you need to use.
