Just spoke with one of our HR people, and asked them the position they disliked interviewing for most.
*Software Engineering*
Why? Because the interviews felt like pulling teeth often. Be someone who people wouldn't mind being in an elevator with and you'll have a huge leg up.
Great episode on @codetocloud.io with @virtualized6ix.wtf. Especially useful if you're trying to navigate the tech community to find your people!
Excited to say I'll be in a new job 🧑💻 and a new house 🏡. What a start to 2025!
Excited to see @codetocloud.io taking off like this. Big things coming up!
Underwater data centres are such a crazy concept to me. Like imagine forgetting how to exit vim 2km under the sea.
That said people love to sell people on solutions i.e I made a program that iterates 100x faster than python. But they often forget to mention what that solves.
Or feel as though the solution is more exciting than the problem.
I find they fit into two camps:
1. People who learned only one language cause they think it's the best.
2. People who were part of the former realized a major problem was better solved by another language.
My hope is that over time we realize that #LinkedIn is replaced by a protocol rather than a platform and we won't have to look at another multi-paragraph gloat ever again.
Well unless you're into that sort of thing.
I think graphs like these will only matter at scale when high performance compute is required, or if processing power is limited as in embedded systems.
For your average Python/R/Ruby developer I wouldn't recommend switching languages based on the above unless they had a high performance problem.
Is judging someone as being #technical enough just a round-about way of judging intelligence if there is not specific specialty brought up?
If the labour market tightens I think we will see that. Sadly in a loose labour market I don't see the willpower to focus on candidate experience.
HR is also unlikely to see high amounts of tech investment compared to say engineering or marketing so we may be a long way out.
When it comes to #engineering people need to know what it is you do.
Great article on what that means and what it means if companies just see engineering as a cost centre.
I've seen in marketing teams that the ideas behind tech debt aren't as ingrained. #Marketing has gotten so technically complex every year.
Engineers learned the hard way what added complexity can do to a system and I think #MarTech will have to learn even faster to keep things clean and simple.
I'm currently leading a team building out an event site for a cloud conference in Calgary! I also built my own portfolio in it way back when it started so it's due for a refresh.
What are you using it for?
