Don't do this to yourself in 2022

> Before you move, make sure to talk to your manager about performance and time zone expectations, as well as your availability for team gatherings. Work from anywhere but ask your…

I was going to interview at LandingAI. I was asked before the interview to install a spyware browser extension to monitor my traffic to detect if I was cheating during the intervie…

Uruguay! First?

The apology of Socrates by Plato

If that impersonal approach works for you and everybody is happy with it, that's fantastic. I haven't hired myself but I have worked with people from all over the world with differ…

Totally, and probably from there it would be easier to find a 60-70k job. That's why I think assuming people from "poor countries" will be necessarily cheaper is a huge misconcepti…

Sometimes it's not just about finding people that work for less money, it's because they know there's also talent out there. Even for companies that pay good salaries it's very har…

hahha no waaay who are you?

You may underpay or overpay people, that can also happen with local people. I bet you don't leave much space for overpaying a foreigner if they are already getting 50% of what a lo…

If you aren't able to estimate how much value somebody would bring to the team before hiring them, you maybe should oil your hiring process a bit. Also assuming you can trust someb…

Agreed, globalized salaries should also consider people moving around and shouldn't depend on current location (unless of course money is not enough to live in the current location…

Living in a poor country shouldn't be a reason to get a low rate. But this is really common, mostly because companies look for people in third-world countries to get the same level…

Maybe not an ORM but a query builder: Knex has been of so much help to me, it works pretty well and it's really easy to use. Used sequelize in the past but it can get incredibly co…

The problem with asking about their culture is that they already know by heart what they should say about it. This is how they sell themselves as opposed to their real opinion abou…

Hi, wtracy! I was thinking of something lighter than the well-known CMSs. Just a boilerplate project with some really basic CMS capabilities. Maybe I should do it myself hah

Hi, dvt. Thank you for your answer! I should have clarified that this for now it's a low-scale project in a country where eBay/Amazon/Etsy are not widely used and that her budget f…

Hey all! Some time ago my mom set up a small store to sell her hand made baby bags, beds and clothes. Now she's ready to move to the next step to have her own web catalog on top of…

It makes a lot of sense to devide front-end and back-end. Javascript is shared but it is just a part of the stack, while there are a lot of specific frameworks and libraries for on…

I'm going to recommend you the last one I read and loved so much: Ghost in the wires by Kevin Mitnick. What a legend OMG!

Cheatsheets are helpful when you already studied the thing, but not as your only source of info. The way I used to take notes at uni for example was to do it in layers. First, take…

The only mistake of the procedure is that if you don't have enough info you should ask for help before. This is very common and I have done that so many times to understand it's a …

Hi, jakearmitage. As a senior engineer that was able to get jobs/visa sponsorship abroad more than once I feel I can give you the following pieces of advice: - Start with what kind…
