@happygimp0 I reckon I wrote that due to force of habit. Writing JavaScript means having to constantly do type checking, something which switching to Typescript mitigates to a certain degree.

@happygimp0 in JavaScript, 0 evaluates to false. I was going to use that number to retrieve a value from the array, which would have been a bug because it's a valid index number but falsy value.

I visited the profile; one job, one cert without any other identifying information. Also, I didn't mention experience with Amazon products anywhere on my profile which the 'recruiter' mentioned.

Amazon's job listings are openly available, unlike Google's.

However, if I got it wrong....oops?

I didn't get a reply, even after 48 hours 😁

Captcha for LinkedIn bots.

@Floydimus I couldn't decide if I was offended, sad or both. Anyway, I came to the conclusion the company's culture would probably be toxic.

@jaylord I interviewed for a senior fullstack dev position, and I replied 'self-navigating robot-car and some IoT' to the question 'what do you do with your free time?'.

A couple of days later, I got an email with the reply - 'You have skills we won't use yet.'

@mcalis I love the potential inherent to this field (e.g robotics software, machine learning, etc), only I'm quite certain I'm in the incorrect sub-field.

Time to move on, life is too short for this.

@craig939393 *pique, not peak

@dooter LinkedIn profiles offer interested parties an easy way to scan your background.

Your profile's visibility also increases, and for better or worse, you'll get unsolicited interview offers.

A full charge lasts 3 days for me. I turn on airplane mode at night and use my phone only when there's a reason to.

Trick question.

All the phones land in a toilet bowl.

From your description it seems there are no skilled seniors on the team to remove blockers and give good code reviews.

Generally speaking, a team will grow, but not surpass, the skill level of its most experienced developer.

Good luck!

Maybe he's been a dev for 10 years but recently got his degree?

I've been writing code for money for a few years now and I've recently went back to school.

Ugh, how do you avoid getting grease on your keyboard?

@kshep92 The best way to find out is to build applications for both Play Store and App Store.

Measure the time it takes for you to release the same application to both stores after typing 'build'.

Go get 'em!

@mrrmc If the entire team consists of men, they'll be fencing instead 😓 (if you get what I mean).

@gowtham-sai Jogjakarta is a nice to see place for soaking in South-East Asian culture.

Indoor rock climbing. Nothing fosters trust like having your life hanging by a rope tethered to someone you barely know.

I heard on the WSJ's 'Future of Everything' podcast that a few startups are betting on bugmeat going mainstream.

It's the most cost effective protein to produce and crickets are being grown for that purpose.

@Stebner55 I got a pro 2017 last week. I love the aesthetics (my first Mac), but miss a larger screen when I'm working on it.

@M1sf3t @mundo03 I've been down that path; I resist the urge to edit minute details and focus on presenting information.

My name's not a brand, and will never be, so a logo/mascot/flashy animation is the least of my worries. I just want to drop the information in without writing code which I'm tempted to test/deploy/refactor every 5 minutes.

@gitpush I have no idea how effective a portfolio site is during the recruitment process. Most companies will inevitably ask for work/code samples, and publicly available OS projects suffice in that context.

A portfolio site is for sparking a conversation with prospective freelance clients.

You can build your own kit with a motor driver and chassis from China.

An easy way to get started is with a Raspberry Pi + RaspiRobot.

To make the project interesting, sensors (range, line, etc) can be added to the kit.

The new hotness these days is generally PyTorch, with Tensorflow 2.0 on the way.

Fun stuff.

The label reads 'for data science' but project structure is generally the same - http://drivendata.github.io/cookiec...

The only difference is to replace 'data-crunching' phase of the pipeline with 'train model'.
