Funny how I got rejected today from crowdstrike because I couldn’t code a hard leetcode problem under 40mins. I guess leetcode isn’t true software engineering after all.

During my early days in my tech career. I joined a small tech firm that did linux kernel programming and embedded stuff. It was my first job out of college and I was really excited. My mentor was a 50+ guy whom I walked everyday from work to back my home. It didn't started out like that, we would leave work around different times and one day it was raining, so we waited and then it became sort of habit. I learned so much about programming and life in general. Made me a better programmer for sure. I'm always grateful!
120bits commented on Microsoft Teams outage causes connection issues, message delays bleepingcomputer.com/news... · Posted by u/daviddavis
I got my first taste of teams about a month ago. I had to install it on my personal laptop for a job interview. After installation, my laptop started displaying notifications encouraging me to renew my monthly subscriptions to Microsoft Office and Xbox Game Pass, things I haven't had a subscription for in over a year. It automatically set itself to start up with the computer which isn't unexpected. However I disabled the startup and it still launches when Windows restarts. Only solution was to remove it. I don't know why people waste their time using teams, it's such a trash app written by a trash company.
I switched companies and I had to use teams. From my experience coming Slack, teams feels heavy app. The bootup is slow and overall it felt like its bloated app. I'm using M1Pro Mac.
What I don't like the most of the teams app is, the freaking code editor. If I paste code in teams, it feels hard to read, in Slack it looks much better. Also, I hate it when on teams having some serious chat about prod issue and some in the group post a random message and whole thing just goes side ways. Lack of threads is bad experience for me. I can go on..
120bits commented on 15 years ago, I helped design Google Maps twitter.com/elizlaraki/st... · Posted by u/JohnHammersley
OK, I wasn't going crazy then. I had recently used Google Maps for a road trip that I was planning and I asked my GF if it looks weird. My initial thought was if someone changed my monitor settings. (I use different one for just gaming) . The design and graphics reminds me of Apple Maps a lot(the mac version). The look and feel was slightly off and it felt dullish. Not sure how I can explain it.
The suggestions are definitely good in the post. I like to have a clean maps panel and rest can be hidden away.
earn respect rather than gatekeep access to whatever will lift them out of precarity and/or realize their dreams.
too many "mentors" are narcicists who want someone to fuel them with enough narcicistic supply to "earn" things like referrals to non-abusive companies/teams that should be freely given.
by this point, i look askance at formal mentorship -- just be an ally, a friend -- turn to he person next to you and speak like they're your brother or sister.
(yes, this means you can never "date" them -- so goddamn tired of people conflating that and networking)
Thank you! Great advise.
Reading this just took me back and made me realize even though we have progressed so far with tech stack and new technologies(LLMs), there is so much joy in just writing plain C code. To me its just feels like working on a classic old 68 mustang and getting your hands dirty. What a joy!
