This is the same thing that happened to me with an Expensify interview back in 2011. After that, I decided to only do interviews in person, or where the person was on a call with me. Take home tests are not worth the risk of this crap.

Good, the sooner devs realize they need to do server side properly, the better
I think most of these companies do do the server side properly. There are plenty of hacks that just make a client play ungodly well. Like macros, aimbots, cooldown tracking, auto-hex

Fun fact: western ride sharing apps don't work in South Korea, and this company also makes the leading rideshare app in the country.
I was forced to make an account on the mobile chat app in order to log into their rideshare app, on a recent trip to Seoul. The UX was not great... not to mention that it was mostly in Korean. I had a lot of trouble. They didn't strike me as the most professional operation..
ive used uber in seoul many times

Interesting. I can still login, my content is still there etc (none of the images are though) so I hoped it'll still be possible.
Given that almost all the people I followed etc have left, there probably wouldn't be much left, but I had that account for ~15 years before it was nuked.
I am in the same exact situation.

No twitter?
I have a very old account with a 4 letter username. I used it sparingly for years. I had made my profile pic the same as Trump and wrote proud cuckold & 45th president of the US during the election as a joke. The background was Trump golfing in unflattering photos. I lost access to the email address I created the account (I still have the email address name, the account password, nothing else has changed) because the recovery email was from college.
They may have sent me a warning to that address, but I have never seen it. My account was permanently suspended. I wish I could just go in and delete the existing content / make a normal profile page / fix whatever is offensive.
Elon had said there would be 1 time amnesty for all suspended accounts, but it never happened. I appealed at least 5 times over the years, but it was always upheld. I would pay for that account back.
teen commented on Vets fret as private equity snaps up clinics, pet care companies stateline.org/2024/03/29/... · Posted by u/mooreds
I don’t really think vets are fretting. It cannot cost that much to start a vet clinic, and if they’re such a great profit source that PE firms are snapping them up, surely some other banker of some sort would be happy to give loans to enterprising ones.
The real issue is lack of supply. Which is good for vets, so I’m sure they’re not fretting too much about that.
> It cannot cost that much to start a vet clinic
In 2011 it was around a million according to one article I read. I'm guessing it's way more now.
> staff at food places can be sometimes less than reliable about food allergy concerns
As someone with Celiac disease, who often eats at restaurants, this is a bit of an understatement. Even in restaurants where things are marked allergen free on the menu, it is often the case that staff will make mistakes. More often than not, staff aren't even informed about the basics of food, things like eggs and dairy being two separate foods, or that they can't just scrape some sauce off of a bun if they put it there by mistake, etc. If I had a life threatening allergy, I would never set foot in a restaurant. It's terrifying.
maybe you're just allergic to glyphosate, not wheat. glyphosate is in pretty much everything now

I agree with the overall sentiment of the article, but find it a bit harsh.
I honestly find the real debate to be inline styles vs stylesheets.
Tailwind is just fancy inline styles. Personally, every single time I've used stylesheets in a large production-grade project it's an absolute mess. Every project I start now I use inline styles. I'm pretty indifferent on Tailwind though, it's sometimes nice to get opinionated defaults.
It's not just inline styles. Idk why so many people comment on these threads with no experience using the framework.

I share your sentiment and position on Tailwind. My first introduction to programming was in 2003 as a 10 year old with HTML CSS and PHP. I think we will see Tailwind, like other frontend tech, fade into the sea of choices.
If I had to summarize this I'd say don't fall victim to hype cycle and marketing. Make technical choices based on the problems.
I've worked on teams where CSS was a mysterious language with many gotchas. So I can see how Tailwind can help with this.
I've been doing CSS for 20 years, Tailwind indeed lives up to the hype. Just the fact that amount of CSS code you need to send down the wire stops scaling linearly with each new component is a big benefit in its own right.
