On a possible ADHD_resources it’s still better than googling directly, the other users can comment when something bad happens
Do you want to create and/or mod it?
fbmac@lemmy.fbmac.netOPto Programming@programming.dev•20+ years of xp, interviews are still hard, still dunno what to do with carrear1·2 years agoOne anecdote to illustrate the point: On my last job, I was initially directly chosen by upper management that was my former boss in another company. The HR interviewer blocked me anyway, the higher ups hired me as a contractor for a year, and only them they hired me directly
fbmac@lemmy.fbmac.netOPto Programming@programming.dev•20+ years of xp, interviews are still hard, still dunno what to do with carrear4·2 years agoNow you mention it, maybe people with a better interview/offer rate are also doing a better job on not wasting time with positions they aren’t a great fit? I get interested when they ask me about things I used only a little before, so I end doing a lof of these
I suspect that some interviews are just to say they interviewed X people before they chose someone
fbmac@lemmy.fbmac.netOPto Programming@programming.dev•20+ years of xp, interviews are still hard, still dunno what to do with carrear1·2 years agoI already live in a low cost country, so moving to a cheaper place wouldn’t work
Some professional help is probably a good idea. My CV is probably not a big part of the problem, it’s getting me those interviews, maybe it gets me interviews for the wrong jobs. As I’m never sure what I want to do, I could make it look like I am all about stack X, and in the next morning I feel like I want to do some Y, and I get a call from someone that wants something to be done on K, on which I only had experience in a 3 months project and left some mention of it there.
fbmac@lemmy.fbmac.netOPto Programming@programming.dev•20+ years of xp, interviews are still hard, still dunno what to do with carrear1·2 years agoI do that, and it saves me a lot of time with things ending on the screening call. I’m tempted to write all this stuff in my resume / linkedin so I don’t even waste time with the screening. It’s easier now I’m already employed, it will probably be harder when I really need another job
fbmac@lemmy.fbmac.netOPto Programming@programming.dev•What programming languages aren't too criticized here?2·2 years agoI loved this analogy, it works for old languages as old movies, some characteristics as movie genres and to explain there is not just one and only right language, and that people would have different preferences.
fbmac@lemmy.fbmac.netOPto Programming@programming.dev•Are we ready for javascript without a build step on the front end in 2023?1·2 years agoI’m asking mostly out of curiosity, but I had a use case that I would like to completely avoid a build step. At work we have a very old web interface, that when I attempt to sell the idea of any major improvement the answer is “this is end of life, we are rewriting it”. But the rewrite will take a long time, and it is easier to make gradual improvements without introducing new tooling. This one is from the 90s, there the JS is in a folder and is shipped as is.
