Counter take: After having worked for startups a lot, my CV did not really look very impressive. A couple of short-medium stints would not really instil a vast confidence to someone screening.

Algorithm and "Trick" Coding Questions allow me to prepare for companies I would normally never qualify for just based on my past experience. If Google only hired people who have touched Google scale systems, they might not have a lot of people to choose from.

Thanks to the current interview structure, I can spend some time and prepare for any large company regardless of the kind of work I have been exposed to so far.

Its definitely not a great process, and requires a lot of time investment to prepare but allows people from not so impressive backgrounds to get a fair(ish) shot.

Hi, I am Saurav Kothari and my goal is to solve problems and technology is one of the tools I utilize to solve them. I consider myself to be a "domain driven engineer" and take great interest in the nitty-gritty of the business behind the product I am working on.

I have worked as a full-stack engineer for startups in India ranging across domains from SaaS to B2B e-commerce. I am interested in medium to large companies which will allow me a chance to grow with the business.

This rings true for me. I was in a very hectic workplace when the pandemic began and was able to function pretty much as effectively as I would in office.

Then I made a switch to a different company towards the end of last year and I do not yet feel a part of the team as I would normally. This is despite having a friend in the team. New relationships have been very hard to build with completely remote onboarding.

I thought this article was going to be about how to "bunnyhop" in your programming job. Some tips/tricks that you can leverage to give you the same advantage in your job as bunnyhop does in-game.

It appears that everyone mentions commute as a massive energy/time sink that erases many potential benefits of working in office. Every other claimed benefit of WFH is all very subjective and you will either enjoy it or not enjoy it.

But so many of us actually stay very close to our work places. Commute is either 15 mins one way or sometimes even lesser.

Can someone guide me to a shorter synopsis so that I can justify purchasing Gunpla to my family?

I bought a very tiny one (SD) with a friend when we were in Taiwan based off of his knowledge and I love how they look. I want to convince myself (and my wife) that I should be getting a bigger MG piece.

Some time ago Das Keyboard launched a keyboard where each individual led could be configured to light up on the basis of some external input. https://www.daskeyboard.com/p/5q-cloud-connected-rgb-mechani...

So you could theoretically bind Slack status to a key (say your F1) key and have it turn red when there was an unread message.

I think that was/is a great solution to ambient awareness

Are you saying you have used/experienced these things and have not seen the value of them? Or that the hype is so much that it feels unrealistic?

Hi, I am Saurav Kothari, a full stack engineer with 5 years of experience working with some of the fastest growing startups. I consider myself to be an engineer first, developer second; i.e, my goal is to solve problems and technology is one of the tools I utilize to solve them.

Over the past years I have had the opportunity to work across a wide range of business domains from SaaS to e-commerce. I have worked across the stack over components that have been internal facing as well as user facing and I believe I can emphatize with the end consumer of my product. My experience as a Product Engineer has expanded my horizon to understand business goals and how to tie them to tech goals to create a win-win scenario for everyone involved.

I have been fortunate to have worked with various languages and frameworks and feel comfortable learning new ones as needed and switching between them on the go.

Agreed. I upgraded to the X from a 6S and that was a huge bump in performance and capabilities.

Now that X is starting to show its age I am considering switching to the 12. All the upgrades since the X so far have not been appealing and did not warrant spending that much to me.

Some of the other comments address this. The problem is that we see and hear about these extreme viewpoints from people who are very loud and vocal. But we are not seeing or hearing anything from the vast majority of people which causes 2 problems 1. More and more of these platforms are driven by the extremists 2. There is less and less chance of actual debate and discussion with people of opposing views as anyone who you could have a discussion with is not engaging.
