great summer opportunity for software devs, ai devs, content creators, and hardware/hard-tech people ⬇️ 💰 $5,000 per person. 10 grants total. we're intentionally avoiding a complicated grant process -- we don't think it's the best signal. it favors people who are good at writing rather than the actual building part. 📌 how to be eligible: 1. apply to nights and weekends s5. 2. make progress each week. 3. we'll help you along the way. 4. at the end of the 6 weeks, we'll pick. 📌 how will we pick? - we wont be picking purely based on growth. - we're looking for people consistently putting in the work + getting some results over 6-weeks, no matter how big/small. - ex. maybe as a dev you went from learning to code, to an mvp with 10 users over 6-weeks. - or, maybe as a creator you got your first 10,000 views on a youtube video after posting each wk.

New Human Skills interview! Michelle Brenner, Senior Software Engineer at Netflix, has a fascinating and different background from many software developers. For one things, she started out in art school, and then while working in a support engineer role in VFX self taught python and gradually moved into development. For another, after determining she didn't like Leet Code style interviews but still wanting to work at top tier tech companies, she found a different path, becoming a public speaker and using that as an alternate way to prove her abilities. In this conversation, we covered a lot of ground, but the big theme that stood out to me was one around control. Figuring out what things in your career and job are in your control to influence, which are outside your control but worth fighting for, and which things to let go. #control #humanskills #speaking https://lnkd.in/gDgX6MHt

Air Frying Insights for Front-end Developers 🍟 Just got an air fryer, and the parallels with my job as a front-end engineer are too good not to share: ✨ Precision Matters: Both in air frying and front-end dev, precision is the key to perfection. 🔍 Trial and Error Champions: Know the taste of trial and error? So do we. It's a journey to perfection. 🌱 Room for Growth: In air frying and coding, there's always room for experimentation and improvement. 👩💻 User Experience Is Key: Just as users savour a well-cooked dish, seamless user experiences are our front-end forte. 🚀 Optimization is Everything: From code to cook time, we're all about optimizing for the best results. ❤️ Unexpected passions often mirror our professions, isn't that correct? #AirFryerAdventures #FrontEndCoding #TrialAndErrorChampion

Took 70+ Interviews this week, here are some learning:- At CodeAnt AI (YC W24), we're onboarding large unicorns, and our engineering team is very lean. To support them, we are hiring Senior Software Engineer and UI/UX Designer. Here are some key takeaways for founders who are hiring: - Exceptional people want to work with other exceptional people - They come for the vision and the path to wealth creation, not just the salary - They want to work "with" the founders, not "for" the founders - Solving hard problems always attracts top talent I've created a culture at CodeAnt AI where each new engineer we hire must be better than the last. It's a challenge, but it's a standard we stick to 💪

Hey everyone! 👋 Like many software engineers, I'm currently on the #leetcode grind, honing my skills and preparing for interviews. While I genuinely enjoy implementing algorithms, even the most passionate among us need a break sometimes. 😅 That's why I occasionally pivot from solving algorithms to visualizing them instead. It's fun to create visual representations of the mental models I use to code my solutions, and I enjoy the opportunities to do a little front-end work as well. Today, I'm sharing my depth-first, stack-based solution to the classic "Number of Islands" problem. I had a blast building it and learned a ton in the process! 🌴🏝️ Check it out here: https://lnkd.in/eG_2BDp7 I'd love to hear your thoughts! Has anyone else worked on visualizers like this? If so, what did you take away from the process? Let me know in the comments below. #algorithms #softwareengineering

Keep seeing this particular recommendation, but one should note that it depends entirely on the product, the industry, and the team. In fintech and healthcare they absolutely, positively, want to track tickets, PRs and changes to the code. Part of the relates to application security, but also stems from the need to be able to focus QA and regression efforts on what's been changed in the current release. Making tons of little changes out of scope makes those efforts a lot harder, and can also lead to situations where your minor change or modification to the code breaks current functionality. Proper tests can alleviate some of this, but changing working code is ALWAYS associated with a risk factor. That might not matter so much in a social media application, but tends to have a much larger impact in applications where users can no longer pay their bills, place orders, or access essential goods and services.

Great opportunity for ML in Egypt

Been working as backend SWE for past four months; here's my experience Pros: 1. With UI, I was limited to end-to-end tests. In backend, the testing is more tedious, requiring me to write complex queries and verify data accuracy 2. you'll build monitoring systems that sometimes alert people at 3 a.m 😅 , showing how much backend system care about stability 3. You'll see positive shift during on-calls, as most issues occur in the backend. You'll get better at debugging and become more independent 4. One word I heard the most is 'Privacy'; Working with Meta scale and Scrutiny, learn't how systems are designed to comply privacy Cons: 1. you'll notice a decline in collaboration; Unlike UI, you you won't work as closely with designers and XFN's, but tackle independently. 2. Experienced a shit ton of auto generated code. This dropped the number of lines of code I delivered( I miss those high numbers 😶 ) UI helped me to build my collaboration dynamics, while back-end engineering is strengthening my systems knowledge I started with what I loved, but shifting to what's needed feels like balance. Feels worth it.

# Gratitude and Growth: My Experience with Shopper.com.br's Coding Challenge I recently had the opportunity to participate in a coding challenge for Shopper.com.br, and I wanted to take a moment to express my gratitude and share my experience. First and foremost, I want to thank Shopper.com.br for considering my application and providing me with such an engaging and well-designed coding test. While I wasn't ultimately selected for the position, the experience was invaluable. The challenge pushed me to apply my skills in a practical, real-world scenario and gave me the chance to work with a modern tech stack including Express.js, Prisma, Docker, Google's Gemini AI and Jest for unit testing. It was a fantastic learning opportunity that helped me grow as a developer. For those interested in seeing the project I built, I've made it available on GitHub: [https://lnkd.in/dXNJSJ46) I encourage my network, especially those in tech recruitment or development, to check it out. It's a back-end application for managing utility meter readings, incorporating AI for image processing. The project is containerized with Docker, showcasing a deployment-ready setup. To Shopper.com.br: Thank you again for this amazing opportunity. Your thoughtful approach to the hiring process speaks volumes about your company culture and commitment to innovation. To my network: If you know of any opportunities where my skills and enthusiasm could be a good fit, I'm always open to new challenges and connections. #SoftwareDevelopment #CodingChallenge #TechCareers #OpenSource #Docker #LinkedInNetworking #fullstack
