I didn't know. Thanks.

He had already moved to UK when he died and died from a lung problem if I recall it correctly.

I understand you and did the same in the past.

However, here we are talking about at the general level. Not a single instance as your experience.

Engineers are hired for engineering jobs not for manager jobs or mopping the floor.

On the other side, if a lately hired person wasn't find himself comfortable inside the team, I, _as manager_, can always complain the team and accuse them being guilty because they weren't able to say NO at interview level or because they said YES at the wrong candidate. Do you see the faulty thought of our time? I as manager earn a lot for managing people but in reality I download my responsibilities of not being able to interview a candidate and so find the right person _downloading_ that on the team that actually is not responsible for new hired person. Fantastic.

Than's the meal they want you digest in some cultures. In mine, as manager, I decide who is on board, and I clarify clearly the roles of every one. No space for interpretation.

I din't come out from a manager school, but I started from the ground and I put myself _every time_ in the shoes of who is managed by me.

My humble opinion

2. Then they do the take home challenge, or you hire another candidate.

This is not kindergarden anymore. We're taling adult stuff here. If the manager is not able to interview, analyse and understand who is in front of him, then it is time to change job.

Iff the candidates has personal work to show then it is considered a plus, but it is not madnatory.

3. No, normal wage and is expected of them.

A hired person is supposed to fill a role and not a double or more roles just because the manager is not able to subdivides tasks, roles etc. I don't expect engineer or technical roles to do manager job.

4. That’s not manager work. It’s a tech talk, it needs to be with the tech people. It’s really not that weird to have the team decide who they want to join their team

It might work in your culture.

in my culture, who is going to take a manager role _manages_ technical people _and_ as such he _must_ know the technical stuff to a certain degrees otherwise the job is not for him. Here managers don't download their responsibilities to engineers they manage.

At the same time, engineers are not supposed to judge or like or dislike their coworkers. Working in a team is a prerequisite that they have to accept, either you like it or not. Full stop. There is no space for interpretation or for leisure. They have tasks and they finish their tasks. Full stop.

2. "...but in this case you have to show os some of your work from the past, so we can discuss this."

That is not always possible. There is always an NDA in contracts. Imagine me going around and revealing the code I have done for your company...

3.

Are you going to pay extra those two engineers of your company for doing something that is clearly outside what they were hired for at beginning or outside their competences?

4.

The same as 3. Are you going to pay those employees for doing manager work instead? Or the managers of your company are paid for doing nothing while showing doing something and soon ready, as in your message, to download their responsibilities to simple engineers (company's leaves )?

Edited.

If I got it right, does your solution assume a web engine of some sort behind the scenes?

Before walking and running, it should be capable first of standing up.

Screen readers, voice input, etc are additional features one can add once the "core" is done, in future steps.

My issues are basic. How to organize a hierarchy of UI widgets and in a clean way such that it supports features like event notifications, bubbling them, hovering, focusing, mouse capturing, and it is at the same scalable: If I add another UI widgets later (a composition of basic and available ones), it should be done with less efforts and leaving me to concentrate on the new functionalities instead of replicating existing behaviors.

I was able to handle buttons, check boxes and single line text boxes with a custom rendering system I can change at design time. But the hierarchy of widgets, the design of C++ classes, and the event notification are not clean (although working), hence the bells started to ring.

It doesn't really matter, these are just ways to draw into a native window and not the backend that owns that window.

I know. I mentioned them because I wanted to give a bit of context.

Without interaction they aren't UI widgets, but merely organized graphics. You are only considering the easy, portable part of a GUI.

Again, I know.

Consider the Windows API functions that deal with the GUI: they are comprehensive (particularly with respect to handling input and events), reasonably low level and more mature than anything you can design.

For sure they have been maintained for a long time but if you have followed the development of the basic ones (edit, checkboxes, combos etc) and the common control ones (listview, treeeview) etc, you should have known how much they are a pin in the ass when it comes to customize them (owner drawn and custom drawn). They were never updated by Microsoft but only extended. QT, for example, took the opposite side as an approach. Everything is stretchable by default.

The trend nowadays is to use some sort of chromium embedded engine and building upon that your programs or web apps with CSS&HTML&JS. Now, the fact that we have tons of RAMS, TBs of hard disks, and missiles as CPUs doesn't justify to have a more than 100GB of desktop program just to say "Hello World!"

I suggest Dear IMGUI and Qt...

Dear ImGUI is more appropriate for games logic than for desktop programs. QT has GBs of DLL you have to bring with you just to say, again, Hello World. Additionally, you have to follow a university course to understand their policy regarding licences. For desktop programs there is no need for a retained mode approach. I would consider both: a GUI you can build from an xml-alike file and by interacting with objects.

what do you want to do for assistive technology?

I didn't get it. What do you mean exactly?

A similar question like mine:

https://www.reddit.com/r/cpp/comments/1eek3a5/what_would_you...

retained or immediate mode?

I know. In theory, custom UI doesn't necessarily mean to have such freedom to "change" what UI's rules of the OS has been established. It should sound more like, I don't use your way of rendering stuff.

10x is written from the ground up in C++, with a custom UI system and GPU rendering.

It would be interesting to know which custom UI.
