Very risky, someone get this man a medal for bravery
Hi all, with LeetCode popping up more and more often in interviews, I wanted to give exposure to companies that use other forms of interviewing (take-homes, pair programming, debugging, real-world coding problems, project presentations, tech discussions, portfolio review, paid trials, non-LeetCode coding exercises).
It's often assumed that if a company doesn't use LeetCode in their interview process, then they only use take-home interviews as an alternative. I'm hoping to break that assumption and other assumptions ("you're a bad engineer if you can't LeetCode in a live interview") by making this website.
I source a lot of companies from the hiring-without-whiteboards repo but not all of them. I believe that there are so many other companies not using LeetCode that are not currently in that repo. For example, I've added 18 companies that aren't in the hiring-without-whiteboards repo, and I have many more that I haven't had the chance to add in yet!
Check it out and let me know if you have any feedback! This is also my first time using React (used NextJS) and my first time needing to worry about CSS & mobile, so I appreciate any feedback. ALSO, the back-end is Google Sheets lmao. Thanks for reading!
I've been in the industry for a few years. On my fourth employer, am considered "senior," and have done all sorts of stuff from configuring cloudformation for devops, architecting databases, APIs, all the way to my favorite part: doing the front end. I really enjoy working on the front end and would even cash in all my chips at other parts of the stack to do it exclusively (LOVE React and Svelte). It's an important part of almost any product; it's literally what the user sees. Why do some (literally every organization I've worked at) organizations just not value it like they do "back end?"
Things like complicated reporting products require just as much architectural muscle to figure out things like state as coming up with some clever global AWS infra. Why is it every org that I work in INISTS on farming out some large piece of tech debt to contractors/agencies; leadership would never do that to their precious AWS, database architecture, or API gateway. Why on god's green earth do they constantly want to do it for the front end. We can just farm that page/component out to Initech. Every time I've anecdotally seen this done, it's been a total flop; especially when integrations need to be done. Staff augmentation is better, but it's not like the product/problems go away at the end of the contract.
Either way I'm compensated well and have work to do, I'm not looking for a pity party. However I'm really tired of watching front end codebases dying from suffocation from lack of organizational support. Thankfully, I'm finally at a point where I can put my foot down and say I think we should be doing this this way and actually have management listen. What are some resources that you feel communicate the value of investing in the front end? Case studies, Technical blogs, comment manifestos. I'm all ears.
Fuck you, Joanne.
I was asking for 1 day a month off because I was freshly in remission of cancer.
Oh, to which Joanne, the HR lead said βIβll need to see a note. You donβt seem to have lost any hair!β
I was told in the interview I would get health insurance and paid time off. When I asked for time off during on boarding, I was also told that βoh they didnβt tell you? :/ yeah thatβs only available after completing 6 months of employment with the company.β
Fuck me, right?
Hereβs the thing.
If your company has the complete inability to function because ONE employee takes one day off each month to not die, then your company is doing something wrong. Your company has an exploitative and fragile skeleton.
She made fun of βthe breedersβ for calling in sick because their kids are sick. She said βwhat do you can listen to one direction?β When I asked for noise cancelling headphones. She asked me for my note for my βautism thingβ. Iβm not autistic. My remission meds make me wildly overstimulated and kinda dumb.
Her husband owned the company.
I hate Joanne.
Me and my buddy were about the hop on our motorcycles when we saw a guy trying to back up into a spot next to birdier, and he definitely hit your car and I think the one next to it we confronted him and he booked it. Soo being Good Samaritans we hopped on our motorcycles and Chase the guy down about a mile away pin them in with our bikes and confronted him he basically made up a bunch of s*** and then booked it and almost hit both of us but I managed to take a picture of his plates before he got away. let me know if this happened to you I was going to file with Denver Police but that would honestly be worthless since they don't do anything and your case would never get the light of day. I rather you be covered by insurance.
Let me know if you need anything the guy almost took both of us out freaking out sideswiping us piece of s*** people like that had state plates too
Edit: I'm not really sure why I'm getting an incredible amount of hate for doing this I literally was standing next to 20 people who literally sat there and did nothing and laughed about it. I'm pretty sure most of them are some of the people posting about this. I refuse to idly sit by as a crime happens or someone is in trouble. I love this city and will continue being a decent human being The last few years have been rough watching other humans suffer.
As Gandhi once said "be the change you want to see in the world"
u/watsonhelper and the "Intel Drop 01" by Ivan have suggested that a German crypto-related company called Skalex is involved in the deal. u/watsonhelper has suggested Mike G and/or his associates have bought Skalex, and the "Intel Drop" just name-dropped the company.
https://www.reddit.com/r/MikeGDeal/comments/rwy2x9/intel_drop_01/
I suspect the point of involving Skalex is to provide an appearance of corporate legitimacy. Basically, I think that currently Skalex is a shell of a company with little or no real operations or value.
Here are my reasons:
- The company address listed on the website appears to be a house in a small town in Germany. This doesn't appear to be the HQ of company to be discussed in the same breath as Amazon and Samsung.
RiegelΓ€ckerstraΓe 48, 71229 Leonberg, Germany.
- Coinhub.io - Skalex's major "Customer Success Story" does not have an operating website.

- The website's tool to estimate pricing does not work. The button to "Get Started" has no link or code behind it.
-- EDIT: Since I made this post, the pricing tool has some functions. But as of Jan 6, 2022 11:26am EST, the tool still does not generate a final price. See the link for a screenshot. I confirmed with both Firefox and Chrome.

- Skalex was declared insolvent (bankrupt) by German court order in April 2021. The company was dissolved at this time. I found this by searching the company's registry number. (HRB 778965). See the official German site. You will have to google translate the order.
- Skalex's bankruptcy leads me to believe that Skalex was not a viable company when it was purchased in 2021. Maybe it was an attempt at a legitimate business venture before it failed, I don't know. But what Skalex does offer to the current owners is a good website, company h

When I was pulling into a parking spot, I pulled a little too far thinking I could make it and accidentally dinged the rear bumper of the car next to me. It was a little scratch on a shitty Honda and I apologized profusely, but the lady insisted on not only reporting me to the insurance company, but suing me for damages. Ultimately, she did report it but then contacted me to tell me that she wanted her car repaired at a custom shop and she needed me to pay for her rental car.
Im not just saying this next part because I was at fault, but the scratch was surface, not deep and could more than likely be fixed by those paint pens that they sell at any auto parts shop.
Just an example that Iβm not only saying this because I was at fault.. one time, a high schooler backed into my truck and totally busted the plastic shell of my tail light. The kid was scared and nervous about what I was gonna say or do but I got out, looked at it and said βitβs alright kid. Just watch where youβre going next time.β
Mistakes happen, and bumpers are there for when they do.

I'm very sorry if this is possibly a stupid question or an overasked question.
Is front end focused web dev a solid career with solid trajectories in the future? Or is it becoming more common for companies to expect you to be full stack or at least have some back end knowledge as a front end developer? If someone is wanting to be front end focused, what sort of back end things should they still know, if anything?
For the last year Iβve been working with a product manager who has repeatedly proven to completely incompetent at UX, but fancies themselves an expert.
Weβre an internet of things company, and our team is supposed to be creating an internal management dashboard and the PM keeps bringing me these designs to implement that are six degrees abstracted from what the actual products in the field are. Itβs creating a massive amount of technical debt, never ending bugs and general confusion.
Iβve been doing my best to push back as tactfully as I can, but once the PM gets an idea in their head there is no talking reason. My team has wasted hundreds of man hours trying to satisfy this personβs ego. Iβve brought it up to my manager several times, and his basic response has been to say that our job is to just do whatever product wants regardless if itβs the right thing or a giant waste of time.
Iβve worked with lots of other PMs and designers who also bring me finished mocks of what they want prior to my consultation, but take feedback and adjust their designs to help ease of development and maintainability and UX. With this particular PM Iβm getting real βshut up and do what youβre toldβ vibes, and I donβt know how much longer I can keep churning out horrible shit Iβm embarrassed to have worked on.
Am I completely out of line in thinking this is a terribly dysfunctional situation? I realize Iβm kinda just screaming into a void here but if anyone has advice beyond just finding another job Iβd love to hear it. I actually used to really like my job before this PM entered my life.
Does anyone remember what Iβm talking about? Itβs a shadowy company that, I think, had ties to Bigelow. Iβm just wondering, with this new legislation and with the Pentagons obvious attempts to try to subvert that legislation, if maybe now we will be able to see these supposed recovered crafts. Correct me if Iβm wrong but it seems like the βdeep stateβ for lack of a better word has shepherded this tech through private companies so no one in Congress or even the President knows that exists. Iβm wondering if this legislation can force these people to show us what they have. The Gillibrand legislation talks about reverse engineering these thing so they must know they exist somewhere, right??
I am a fresher in a WITCH company working on an angular project. I wish to get a FED role by the end of 2022 and have been preparing my CV for the same.
My notice period is 1 month till June but after that it becomes 3 months.
I'm wondering if my options will be limited if my notice period changes to 3 months. Should I rush my preperation and focus on landing a job before June? I don't want to rush myself as my mental health has already taken a toll due to non career reasons, however, if needed I'll have to.
