> somehow yeah by recycling their project from a previous interview and adding more to it I just don't engage in that kind of assessment anymore, the job market isn’t thaaaat tough to need to compromise or, put another way, jumping through that hoop will not solve your interview progress as its just far too subjective. other hoops are just as fine

> the job market isn’t thaaaat tough to need to compromise I’m finding it absolutely brutal. I’ve never encountered anything like it. I could be doing something wrong, though.

If you leave RSU-land there are tons of midsize companies, fully remote, filling headcount pretty quickly

Get a third party recruiter

It was brutal for me in that tier last year and before, but now its ridiculous

In the Discord API, "servers" are called "guilds" which I assume it was the original name for them when they started developing the platform. Don't know why they decided to change it.

Suspect, pure speculation, when they pivoted from being focused on gamers, switching from guild to server helped.

Or, even more broad, someone just thought it might and implemented it, irrespective of whether it actually changed anything (discernible from background growth) or not

This is useless, I can't make the glasses come from below, in addition to coming from above. Also, glasses can only be black? We demand a color palette for glass colour. EDIT: wait, I managed to make the glasses come from below blob: https://emoji.build/50c07035-efb9-4341-9205-30adfd6b088e I retract my indignation on the one half of my requests, but transfer it doubly so for the request of a colour palette

Glasses can now be set to any color you want. Only applies to the "Classic" style, though. Unless I find the other glasses in SVG format as well. As a nice side-effect, the glasses can now also be set as semi-transparent!

All thanks to some clever (mis)use of SVG and canvas, see https://github.com/klimeryk/dealwithit/commit/d8f280b5f2e4bd.... Enjoy!

I’m similarly annoyed by Discord’s term “server”. Only recently started using Discord, and joined various “servers”, which seem as basically just groups with chats. When I was prompted to create my own “server”, at first was hesitant thinking “whoa, I don’t want them to provision a whole server for me, that can’t be cheap”, then realized it has nothing to do with actual servers.

In the Discord API, "servers" are called "guilds" which I assume it was the original name for them when they started developing the platform. Don't know why they decided to change it.

In the dark ages of the internet, you had to host a server in things like Ventrilo[1], which was the thing Discord tried and succeeded at disrupting. Since now you can create a "server" for talking with friends (and friends of friends) without being technical.

> Unfortunately, they were not impressed and ultimately did not offer me the job :( Sorry to hear that. No recruiting process is perfect. They often get it wrong, as they clearly did here!

I interviewed a developer once who was super junior on paper but had a side project of a fully featured desktop anime episode to watch/watched tracker with lots of library feature features. Hire. Interviewed another Dev who made arcade sticks as a side project. Hired. You can't teach passion. Hire all that passionate people you can. Tech stacks are irrelevant compared to the love of building things.

I landed my first software job when I was 18 years old. I didn't have a degree or any professional experience in their tech stack, and the recruiter told me later that I was hired because of "my passion for Legos and foreign languages" (I was learning Swahili at the time, and one of my interviewers happened to be a former volunteer in the Peace Corps, who conducted most of the interview in Swahili).

I had a great experience at that company while I was in college, which also launched me into an exciting professional career. All of it wouldn't have happened without people like you.

I got an error after clicking the "Deal with it" button.

    Graph successfully started running.

    Uncaught (in promise) Error: Unsupported MIME type: application/xml

        at Et.zt (gif.worker-WYu6DU4i.js:23:78271)
This might be caused by my workplace enforcing the Okta chrome plugin :(

I'm a Google employee. After looking at this demo I can tell you're spiritually a Googler in ways I can't quite articulate.

Well if people start using it and like it a lot, only for him to then suddenly delete the whole thing without warning... then he'd truly be a Googler. ;)

Ooof, savage

Infinite spinner for me: Stuck at "Loading AI models for face detection..." forever. I'd want to fix that before sharing it with recruiters as an example project. Desktop Safari 18.0.1 (18619.1.26.111.11, 18619)

As a FE dev I’m not surprised something does not work in Safari.

I love Apple but Safari is the new IE, it’s more and more common for feature to take x then fixes for Safari take x^2, it is a joke of a browser.
