I was doing the codecrafter course then went off-script when creating the parser, this is good to have all the steps in one place so I dont need to jump through the hoops on the website


11 years experience. took me 4 months to get a new job, the longest its ever taken since I became a dev.


4 months is actually really good, relatively speaking. Just wait until you have 20 years experience, and you are trying to explain to your interviewer (who has 5 years experience) something which took you 15 years of hard experience to learn....

35 years experience here, been looking for 2.5 years.


The problem is that “experience” has no value in our industry, unless it is recent experience with some technology, framework, language, and the memorization of those algorithms and data-structures.


You hit the nail right on the thumb.

About 10 years ago, I was looking for jobs, and wasn't getting any bites. My wife said "Cut your resume in half. Only show the last 7 years of your employment history."

It worked--when it wasn't so obvious that I was a graybeard, I got a lot more interviews. But it was epochally, cosmically sad for me to cut out 15 years of my experience--describing achievement I was really proud of. And just throw them in the trash.


Really useful advice. More people should see and heed this


12 years, still looking though this month looks promising, its been a shit show after shit show since covid tbh


Covid was the easiest time ever to find a software job


Not for all I guess.


twitters advertising revenue is down 54% since musk took over

https://www.sportspromedia.com/news/twitter-x-elon-musk-usag...


That's nothing to do with number of engineers you have.


It might be. He fired a whole lot of moderators who would oversee the removal of content which, among other things, would be distasteful to advertisers. It’s possible that before Musk joined Media Matters would not have been able to find anti-semitic posts next to Apple advertisements due to their removal by moderators.


Twitter was a bloodthirsty cesspool before Musk too. Maybe it got worse, I don't know, but the big difference is that buyers started to pretend to care since they did not like him.


No it definitely has gotten worse. Notably, almost every comment and post I make gets interactions from bots right away. That never used to happen before. These bots are not following me.

Also from analysis I have seen, hate speech has gone up significantly. This makes sense since there are no moderators. Twitter has recently decided to hire a substantial new group of people to rebuild a moderation team, because they truly did cut too many people there.


A significant fractions of this layoffs weren't engineers but instead worked on moderation. When moderation was gone, antisemitic tweets (among others) became ubiquitous, which drove advertisers away.


I rarely see proper anti-semitic posts in Twitter. The problem is that people keep on insisting that posts condemning Israeli government illegal and immoral actions are anti-semitic. If anything, I welcome that people now can ask how Israel gets a pass of refusing to implement UN resolutions that back from as early as 1948 without any consequences.


I'm not talking about Israel here, I'm talking about what happened last years, where you even had Twitter accounts called Gas_the_Jews and the like spawning up and attempts to report them being automatically closed (for this one in particular, the Auschwitz memorial had to step up to get it banned).


Echoing the other comment that this is genuine antisemitism at issue here, not the very legitimate questioning of Israel’s genocide against Palestinians. Much of the analysis of the increase in antisemitism on Twitter after Musk happened before Oct 7th.


Don't forget about the additional 1 billion dollar debt payment he added to the company's expenses.


I don’t think that’s because of the layoffs though so the original comment is still valid.


the django admin panel alone makes it a better framework for a bootstrapped app


Psst... Elixir has this too :)

It's neat that Django has that, I've toyed around with it, but for rapidly bootstrapping internal tools I still think Laravel does it better with either Nova, or these days preferably Filament.


build something, and aim to make a least $1 from it, you'll learn a lot that way
