How to get hired in 2025

tonsky.me/blog/hiring-ai

Following are the main red flags in test assignments that should be avoided:

  • The assignment was read and understood in full.

  • All parts are implemented.

  • Industry-standard tools and frameworks are used.

  • The code is split into small, readable functions.

  • Variables have descriptive names.

  • Complex parts have comments.

  • Errors are handled, error messages are easy to follow.

  • Source files are organized reasonably.

  • The web interface looks nice.

  • There are tests.

Avoid these AI giveaways and spread the word!

The importance of virtue in software engineering

www.seangoedecke.com/character-in-software-engineering

Plenty of books and blogs will tell you how to develop your functional programming skills or teach you algorithms. But if you’re already pretty good at that stuff, you might be better off trying to become a more virtuous human being: more in control of your emotions, more able to hold your nerve in times of crisis, and humbler about the institutional power your technical knowledge grants you.

Local, first, forever

tonsky.me/blog/crdt-filesync

If you set out to build a local-first application that users have complete control and ownership over, you need something to solve data sync.

Dropbox and other file-sync services, while very basic, offer enough to implement it in a simple but working way.

Sure, it won’t be as real-time as a custom solution, but it’s still better for casual syncs. Think Apple Photos: only your own photos, not real-time, but you know they will be everywhere by the end of the day. And that’s good enough!

Imagine if Obsidian Sync was just “put your files in the folder” and it would give you conflict-free sync? For free? Forever? Just bring your own cloud?

I’d say it sounds pretty good.

Hits-of-Code Instead of SLoC

www.yegor256.com/2014/11/14/hits-of-code.html

How about we measure the amount of times programmers touch the lines. Instead of counting the number of lines we’ll count how many times they were actually modified—we can get this information from Git (or any other SCM). The more you touch that part of the aircraft—the more effort you spent on it, right?

I called it Hits-of-Code (HoC) and created a small tool to help us calculate this number in just one line.

What a nice idea! I installed this program and ran it on Betula and Mycorrhiza codebases. For Betula it's 26350 HoC, for Mycorrhiza it's 137208 HoC. Yeah, Betula is still comparatively young! Hey, what about Mycomarkup? 23443. Oh wow, just a little less than Betula. I expected a small number.

Сортировка мусора

strizhechenko.github.io/2024/05/02/rubbish.html

Так уж случилось, что мы с женой занимаемся сортировкой мусора. Инициатива её, я выступаю скорее противовесом. Начинали с радикализма и это было неудобно. Сейчас быт чуть более обустроен, стало гораздо лучше.

Просто напоминаю про прекраснейший блокировщик рекламы, который не только — внезапно — скрывает рекламу от любимого пользователя, но и старательно засерает статистику рекламным площадкам ("все кликают ВСЁ"), сводя на нет самый смысл персонифицированной слежки.
