Nothing old broke with the introduction of hooks.

Zoom also has personal named rooms.

But they did pick a better tool: they changed the name. Nomenclature is also technology.

What if the options got progressively longer? Eg: if you select the 5 minutes option, only then does the 10 minutes option appear.

PM is typically an IC too unless they are directly managing others.

I'd call that a compromise.

It's an unfair comparison then if they don't even use Node.js to its full potential. Apple to oranges comparison.

Thanks for this!

Switch into software as a career. I've been learning Node.js for fun for the last 4 years, while I'm a full time chemical engineer with experience in oil & gas, metals & mining, and supply chain.

Ideally find something that lets me use my project management and industry experience, rather than just being a junior dev.

FYI, he's actually quite technically talented. Let's assume less and RTFA more.

Excerpt:

... many people are drawing the conclusion that I primarily got a job at Airbnb by being really good at negotiating, or gaming the system, or something like that.

If you have ever done a software engineering interview, you would know that this is completely absurd. There is no way to negotiate or charm someone into passing a software engineering interview. Much less 8 of them.

If you don’t know the ins and outs of object-oriented programming, database design, asymptotic analysis, binary search trees, or how to improve the cache efficiency of an algorithm, then you’re not going to pass a computer science-heavy interview at a top company. You don’t even have a shot at it.

The moral of my story is not “get really good at negotiating and you’ll get a great job.” Negotiating is important, and I certainly encourage everyone to negotiate!

But first, get good at the thing you’re doing. Then worry about negotiating.

I moved to San Francisco from Austin, Texas about a year ago because I decided I was going to earn-to-give. Since then I’ve been relentlessly trying to build a new career for myself, so I could earn more and donate more to charity.

Entering into App Academy, barely knowing the basics of Ruby, I came into the office and grinded every day, spending 80+ hour weeks just coding and studying. I’d come in at 9AM in the morning and leave around midnight, 7 days a week, sleeping in a bunk bed in SOMA in a 200 square feet shared room.

It’s certainly true that I probably have a mind that’s well-suited for coding. But it’s also true that I outworked almost everyone who was in my cohort. And when I was hired by App Academy to help teach the course, I continued working as hard as I could to get good at this.

I still stayed late in the evenings, I still came into the office on weekends alongside the students just to continue coding and learning more. I started an algorithms study group in the evenings where I taught students new algorithms that I had read about, and wrote specs and instructions to guide them through the implementation. I took over our entire algorithms curriculum and taught well over 100 students the basics of data structures and algorithms.

And of course, I was scared that none of this would matter. That having been an English major, having a non-traditional background, being 26 and too old to transition into tech, competing against 20 year olds who’d been coding since they were 10, I thought I must have no chance.

Thankfully, I was wrong. And I’m very, very lucky that I was wrong, because I was almost right.

Hi guys!

I'm the creator of the Node.js Playbook. I'm looking for feedback and help into fleshing this out further.

I've wasted a lot of time researching basic things and trying to choose between popular yet nearly identical packages.

I'm putting all those things into a playbook that focuses on getting you started. It's not a be all and end all, it purely focuses on getting you started with a basic stack of choices that suit most applications.

I'm the maintainer of express-tokenware, and I'm looking for feedback and guidance. I'm new to open source development and I'd love to make my work useful and accessible. If you use this module or something like it:

1. What's your use case? Does it meet your requirements? 2. Is the documentation clear and complete? 3. Do you need any new functionality in this module? (especially before v1.0.0 is released)

Please feel free to add issues for anything you'd like to see added or any problems you're facing with the module!

Thanks, sent!

I'd love to see the source code too please. I'm working on a side project and would love to make it as smooth as this.
