In most professions it is assumed that you go to work, do your job, then leave work and stop doing your job. How many lumberjacks fell extra trees on the weekends? Software engineering manages to impart a mentality on a lot of people that they need to be learning and writing software all throughout their free time. Of course it's good for career aspirations, and having OSS contributions is great for your CV, but putting a lot of pressure on this leads to burnout. After 8 hours of programming during the day, the last thing I want to do in an evening is boot up a computer and do more programming. Basically what I'm saying is when looking for jobs, do all that you can, but outside of that, make sure you're living a life that you enjoy and can sustain happily. You don't need to give every waking hour of every day to more software development

This whole "must code 24/7" mentality is more prevalent with junior programmers I think. When you are still new to the game... but if you've been doing it for years you get pretty tired of the constant burnout and the junior developers will get to that point too eventually. And this whole mindset that you should know 100 different technologies is really stup|d, how do you get to be good at anything if you are constantly having to learn new things? Improving your skills is always great but learning something completely different every other week isn't improving your skills,

I have made it to round 6 of an interview, passed the final round. They told me I did everything they asked, just not well enough... Interviewing is SO much worse than the actual job and by far the worst part of being in the tech industry. There is zero acknowledgment that some of us just struggle to vomit up technical info on the spot and getting rejected from life changing jobs, where you are OVER qualified for the actual work just because you answered a question without using the proper vocabulary. I have even been rejected because the interviewer didn't like how I moved around within the browser IDE that he linked me to for the interview.... even though I did the ACTUAL work he asked for and with time to spare... I enjoy the technology, and I enjoy working with engineers. But I LOATHE basically everything else about the industry so much so that I am only in my 4th year and I am desperately looking to do ANYTHING else with my life.

Can't agree more to the "Try designing a course" part. I joined my current company about a year ago and noticed they still used JUnit 4 for testing. So I took a leading and educating role about migrating our tests to JUnit 5 and I have learned a lot in the process about some "corners" of JUnit 5 I have never had in consideration before and teaching my colleagues has helped me dive even deeper in the matter. It was also so much fun, that I consider contacting my alma mater if they are interested of me hosting some lessons.

How did you get that leading and educating role in the company. Do you just ask your boss if you can do that after you noticed that problem or how does that work? I mean initially you were hired to do something else... And when you had that role, was it like your main thing for a time to do the education or was it more like a smaller task next to your other main tasks?

@@DAD1996W We have one day every other week were we can pursue any kind of improvement of the code we can think of instead of working on our regular tasks if we want to (We call it Technical Debt Day). So initially I took that opportunity to produce some small example tests featuring JUnit 5 (esspecially parameterized tests and how to multi-thread them for shorter test cycles) and then presented it to the team and the boss. As this was only a kinda vertical slice it took 1-2 workdays at most to prepare. The team was onboard immediately and my boss did not need much convincing thanks to that. So I was given some time to properly research the methods of migrating tests and developing a proper architecture on how we would write these in the future (esspecially parameterized tests). After that I presented it to the team, making some adjustments due to their input and spearheaded the first few migrations. The mentoring was more of an ongoing on the side thing and as I am blessed with a good team it did not take long for everyone to be able to work with this without my assistance. Due to the scale of the project the complete transformation is still ongoing , but every new feature is now tested with JUnit 5 according to the specs I worked out. Needless to say, I got a sizable raise as a recognition for this work. Granted, not every company / boss will give you such an opportunity or even give you the recognition for your work, you always need to find what works best for your environment.

Programming isn't my profession (I write music), but I've never gotten any work by "putting myself out there" and applying for jobs. My work has always come from ""networking"" (ie, old friends, people who I've worked with in the past, people who are familiar with my work). In an interview, it doesn't matter how much prior experience or expertise I have, I've always been treated like a child, and inevitably get interviewed by some jackass (like the one who wrote the article) who thinks that they're the Gordon Ramsay of their field, and think that they've gotten successful hiring down to some magic formula. I suppose it's a personality issue on my part, but I have an extremely difficult time showing any enthusiasm or respect for people who are condescending (consciously or not), and who want to make me do pointless artificial busywork or meet some artificial arbitrary standard that has no real bearing on the actual quality of my work. My patience for it wears thinner and thinner as I get older. However, when you're contacted about a potential job, it's always "oh yeah, Steven's cool, he's a bit eccentric, but he can work miracles, you should have seen what he did on xxxxxx, let's take a chance and let him work on xyz and see how it goes", and it almost always goes well, because there's mutual respect there. Which one of these situations do you think is going to go better?

This shit about everyone "needs" to code in their free time in order to get a job needs to die already. Its such terrible gatekeeping mindset to have. These kind of people who spend 80 hours a week programming but never go outside are crazy imo. They can sit down and tell me about all the side projects they made in some obscure language, but ask them to sit down in front of a client and condense what they want into an understandable ask and they are like a fish out of water. Now don't get me wrong I like learning new concepts, but not because I have this anxiety that I'm not always up to date with every new fangled JS framework. Not every person sees Programming as a hobby for some people it is just a job and guess what, that's fine guys...

I never ask technical question as in "write this algorithm" It doesn't prove anything, hell I admit that I haven't implemented an algorithm or std data structure myself in 20 years, I use the STL and the STDLIB. I just ask what people wrote themselves, what was challenging how they solved it. And I give them an example of a current issue we are facing. Last tech interview I did took 10 minutes from my side and I was like: "yeah, I too love this guy". I asked him one insight question that I knew he had no experience with, just to see how he would find answers -- what to Google for is more important than having that knowledge in your head. Because sooner or later, you need to do things you've never done before. So I was taken with this guy immediately. In the past we had some tech questions and especially those that I knew people couldn't answer. I want to see if they take charge. If they say: "Okay I don't know can I use a computer to google it? Or can I grab that book of the shelf and browse through it?" Then I knew they were good. When they would just walk in circles (and not even writing compilable code just pseudo code or describe the process of solving the question) then I know that either they need mentoring or perhaps isn't the right candidate. One guy got so angry and shouted: "This is INSANE NOBODY KNOWS THIS! WHAT DOES IT PROOF?!" And my manager calmly said: "It proves if people are willing to discuss this on a professional and friendly way, anymore questions? Otherwise I think we know enough" :D

@@Axlefublr My advise is (as Prime's) is to communicate. It's okay to say: "I don't know, but..." and then describe how you would go about solving the problem as if you were employed there. Employers and in my case Customers (I am freelance) want to be sure that when you are in that seat, that you can take away their worries. One tip for interviews listen to their unspoken worries or challenges or flat out ask them if you don't pick up on them. A question like: "What are your current big challenges or problems? So I can see where I can fit it and help out." Is a great thing to ask! It shows that you want to jump in. And what my former employer said before I went freelance was: "It is not what you know, but who you know." So in other words, if you know something that works for that company ask if they have openings and put that person forth as a reference. I noticed when i worked at IBM, that majority of people working there were the sons of the previous generation. And my current customer, I am working on a 4th different project. The fact that you know the organization is a leg up.

spot on. Communication is key. I always advice people heading for interviews to not be afraid to look dumb. The technical aspect of the interview is just the setting, the actual assessment is how you're going to be working in solving problems with the team. In my interviews I don't allow candidates to google though, I ask them to treat me as Google and ask the questions directly to me and I provide the answers accordingly. That way I can assess how they're thinking of the problem and how they would be googling for the answer.

Who's more valuable there?

I wouldn't say I necessarily struggle in the interviews on the technical side. The hard part for me is in the socialization as most technical interviews tend to copy the google interview model, which optimizes for the "Smart Extrovert". As an introvert by nature, that takes a lot out of me. I'm more used to solving problems in my head rather than talking it out, so the whole interview process takes me out of my most optimal form.

I actually disagree about not applying for jobs and instead of waiting to be approached by a recruiter or hiring manager. I've been on close to a hundred interviews over 25 years and I've only ever had luck when I was contacted first. It seems to me when that happens the people have already decided your background might be a a good fit and they want to interview you in order to validate that assumption and to sell you on the company. While when you make the contact they are looking for reasons to eliminate you from consideration. Also, I've not once been asked to write an algorithm during an interview.

I disagree with almost everything being written here. Remember, companies do not know what they needed until they have the experienced people, this is very common. Having a specialization (or several) on top of practical experience is MUCH better than knowing the latest gimmick feature/language/framework. We live in the stinking dark ages of software development and a lot of it is 100% the result of people just chasing the latest hype of nonsense that tries to reinvent the wheel. Somehow they nearly always end up with almost square ones. Instead of developing the core skillset that is universally applicable. TLDR Incompetence generates insecurity! Insecurity initiates the move to jump into every new hype! Jumping into every hype never gets things done and blocks developing your core skillset as all the energy goes into retooling/learning things that are obsolete with the next hype. It is mostly outside interests, not the interest of the professional developer, to jump into new hypes.

I believe communication is a huge factor that employers consider while hiring. I had a technical interview where I did not know the proper function required to perform a specific action, but I knew what needed to get done for the program to run as intended. I asked the interviewers questions to confirm I understood the assignment and I walked them through my logic and understanding of the problem. They understood that I could easily finish the program despite not knowing the specific function because they heard me walk through the problem logically out loud with them. They get insight into your problem solving skills, communication skills, and technical skills in one fell swoop.

They will most likely improve faster and become better than you and therefore be more likely to be selected by companies over you. I don’t disagree with you. It’s just that this kind of mindset comes with the acceptance that people that are willing to put in the work will simply just become better than you and therefore be more likely to get hired over you. Learning the technology at work is ideal situation but companies will always prefer the candidate already knowing the technology coming into the job.

Even though I agree with everything on this video, I have to nitpick with "no one cares if you can't solve X leetcode problem". There are a few companies that I didn't get a job because, according to one of them, I "couldn't solve the [hardest] leetcode challenge [you'll ever see] required for this job". It was for a mobile game dev company. Nowadays I have a job doing much harder stuff than what I'd be doing there, and even still never ever had anything CLOSE to how hard that leetcode challenge was. Dodged a bullet, sure, but being unemployed during that time was rough.

"[..] the biggest issue with the current education system is that it teaches people patterns to memorize rather than understand the actual process" - Ironically, my issue is the other way around. I udnerstand the solution, then I find out it has a name. Now I do know and understand the important ones, but my process was reversed. Because I started as mostly self-educated (reading, sure but mostly practice). 15-17 years back, there werent any real programming school studies in my country. It developed to where its now while I was working and learning. But I dont mind, because its the concept what you need to understand about design patterns, so you know how and when to apply it and not just willy nilly. Design patterns are a solution, if you do not have the problem, dont use it or you'll introduce unnessary complexity (=> error prone).

A lot of companies outside FAANG don't go that hard on DSA questions, and instead focus hard on system design, databases, design patterns, and "trivia" kinds of questions where programming knowledge/experience with a specific stack counts. These questions can run the gamut and unlike Big Tech, they're not standardized at all because every company/interviewer is looking for a different set of specific things. If you're goal is just to get into Big Tech, you can do that with essentially just DSA, however, most SWE's don't work in Big Tech and won't ever work in Big Tech. Also, if you come from a non-traditional background (e.g., math/physics to software) then good luck putting that DSA practice to use when you won't even get a chance to interview.

What does the process for FAANG look like without Leetcode? Do you know someone so you get bumped past the screens? Does being more senior change the nature of the interview? I just got done interviewing with most of the letters in FAANG and every single one had leetcode style code screens and one (often two) technicals after passing the screen... a technical which was basically just leetcode.

I hate the advice that getting a job should be through people in your network. It's easier to get a job through people in your network, but you can develop the skills and the salesmanship that lands jobs without it. I've had maybe eight jobs in tech and one came from people in my network. I would never discourage someone from relying on their Network, but if the person giving you advice has primarily relied on their Network then don't take their advice. Relying on your network is the easiest part of the job search but it requires having a good Network. Anybody who tells you that the most important thing is to rely on your network is making the assumption that your network is good. This is a bad expectation. Most people's networks are not good during the times for which it is hardest for them to find work.

Weither if times have changed, the market became more saturated or if it is just because my introvertedness became worse I can't tell. 12:40 : Partially agree. Knowing how your tools work is important. But similar to how you don't need to know every screw in your car to drive it, you also don't need to know every minute detail inside your tools to get going. It is more important to know how to use and configure them right. Rather than how they exactly function. 4:15 : The whole "Bubble" thing seems to depend on where you release the Mouse.

Data structures and algorithms aren't the issue with modern software development. I mean, sure, they're something you should pay attention to. Don't go around filing Lists in reverse order because it's O(n^2), like, obviously. But at the same time, I think it's trying to put all that stuff together that's become the much larger complexity with people's code. Nowadays just about any language you can think of has a very feature complete library of collections and ChatGPT can give you a detailed and correct explaination of just about and algorithm with example code in the language you want. And if that's not enough, every single CS graduate has had multiple years of training both conceptual and formal to categorize data structures and algorithms.

I think leetcode is more prevalent now and especially if you're entry level. Of course you can get by with algorithmic and dsa knowledge but leetcode helps to think algorithmically specifically for the types of problems new engineers will be typically asked. You get out of what you put in, as well. You need this kinds of skills to just pass the basic minimum, then your more practical knowledge shines through in the rest of the interview.

i always saw it as a an equivalent to doing hw for a dsa course or practice problems. Its kind of like a calculus course. I can learn that an integral is the area under the curve and learn how to integrate an equation, but it also helps to also integrate a few equations to hone the skill. I think the same goes for dsa and leetcode. For the course you can learn about a linked list and implement it, but then it helps to maybe study and do a few practice problems using linked lists. Once you are out of college for some time I find that youtube and leetcode was a good tool for me for that. When I was fresh out of college though I never did it and didn't feel like I needed it.

I do mentoring and teaching on an individual basis, and I tell my students that leetcode might be useful for honing their skills a bit, but it sends people off down stupid pointless rabbit holes, and they'd get a lot more from picking an interesting Open Source project and finding a way to help out with it.
