Got laid off with the rest of my colleagues in February 2025, been searching for a job for 6 months. I was applying to 2 jobs per day on average, 400 in total; and making test assignments. Interviews were a rare thing until July-August. Or maybe I just reworked CV well enough to this moment.

Meanwhile, I focused on learning trending tools and skills, and was coping by working on DIY projects involving 3D modelling and printing, electronics, programming. Wife was very supportive during that time <3

Around the end of August I got the first offer, and two weeks later another better one.

Market is awful. Much worse than the last time I was looking for a job, 5 years ago.

Keep up!

Could that happen due to some Chrome extension, mining in the background? XD

When any installed hosted app, packaged app, or extension has "background" permission, Chrome runs (invisibly) as soon as the user logs into their computer—before the user launches Chrome. The "background" permission also makes Chrome continue running (even after its last window is closed) until the user explicitly quits Chrome.

Most of developers use Swagger wrong. But this is the right approach: https://github.com/swagger-api/swagger-node/

Swagger is a contract. From contract you can generate documentation, client, input/output data validation, mock responses, integration tests, and something else, I'm sure.

If you start development from swagger — you can get everything in sync. That way you can't forget to update documentation, validation rules, tests, or whatever you generate from swagger. That way you can do work once! No work multiplication!

It makes development So Much Easier!
