Thank you Slack? For the confusing use of "emoji" instead "animated GIF" or sticker.

Thank you. As a non-Slack user, this explains a lot. I was somewhat disappointed that this didn't generate actual emojis.

Would that even make sense, to “generate emojis” ? They are defined by the Unicode emoji specs like here: https://unicode.org/reports/tr51/ I guess it would need to generate all possible emojis given by the spec? Supposing it did generate all emojis, is there even a way to “install” it for example iOS ?

Thanks for sharing this. I love tiny projects like this, especially if they’re over engineered. The job market is rough. I have no doubt you were considered, and they were interested, but everyone is giving their all right now. Someone likely submitted something even cooler, somehow.

> 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.

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.

Dude I’m often on interview panels and some of the other interviewers are insufferable. When they give feedback, they love getting on their soapbox and critiquing others as if they were Olympic judges or something. I’ve had to hold myself back from saying bro we wouldn’t hire you yourself if this criteria actually had to be met. Some hiring managers require all this elaborate prep work and it’s such bullshit, imo it’…

I’ve had the same experience many times where the people I’m interviewing candidates with wouldn’t get hired under the same conditions. They tend to be early hires who have stuck around, and they’re super protective and defensive.

Rather than welcome people to the team to learn from them and grow the team, they criticize and reject people like crazy. It’s very reactive rather than proactive behaviour, and it’s a bad sign to have it at a company.

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. ;)

This feels more like an internal tool that will be used forever

This made me smile :) if (looping.mode === "off") { // If you waited for a day, you deserve to see this workaround... // Since there is no way to not loop a gif using gifwrap, // let's just put a reeeeaaaaallly long delay after the last frame. return 8640000; }

Hahaha, achievement unlocked! Congratulations!

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.

Even as a slack user I’m confused. Slack emoji should still be usable in low resolutions and preferably have transparent background. None of the examples seem like emoji.
