Arc is fairly good, and I was willing to tolerate the few hiccups when it was constantly being improved. Of course, I switched to zen.

Hey, I was fired last July and I went through the same process, I actually asked a similar question on Lemmy and the feedback I received helped a tonne in landing more interviews.

Here are the steps I believe helped me:

1. Make sure your CV is machine parseable, search for open resume, upload your cv see what it detects. Ideally, generate your CV using that tool.
2. Create your own portfolio website, here is mine for reference https://souperk.gr/ (I have a public repository, feel free to copy if CSS isn’t your strong suite)
3. Check that toggle on LinkedIn to signify you are actively searching atm (don’t remember how, but you should see a ribbon on your avater if it’s active)

For me, landing more interviews was the hard part. Once I got a few interviews going, landing an offer was easy.

I ended up setting up a postal server on my vps (see here). Their docs are pretty easy to follow through and it’s probably the cheapest option (assuming you already use the and have a domain).

I hate to spoil your fun but IRs are made to be written by programs and read by programs.

DataLog is used to verify smart contracts. I don’t know any specific examples of prolog used in the industry, though I am sure there are a few. Probably, there are expert systems implemented with prolog that are still used.

Logic programming in general has a few usages, the unification algorithm is used for pretty much every type system. Also, it is quite good for verification systems. For example, I know some symbolic execution systems implemented in OCaml.

IMO we need to break it in a few independent but cooperating decentralized systems;

1. A transportation service where consumers will request the transportation of goods or people from point A to point B, and providers will make bids for those requests.
2. A storage service where providers will offer storage of goods at specific locations, and consumers that make requests for the storage.
3. A LC service, where two parties can enter an letter-of-credit (LC) contract, and providers can guarantee the contract.

If these systems are available, it would be possible to implement additional decentralized services like;

• Marketplaces.
• Passenger transportation services.
• Food delivery.
• Probably many more.

Friendly reminder that the high seas are always an option. Download stremio, install the torrentio addon, and you are good to go.

Is anyone interested in starting a book club? Right now I am reading “Implementing Domain-Driven Design” by Vaugn Vernon.

Hit me up!

I would give myself a solid 4.2/5 on python.

• I have in deepth knowledge of more than a few popular libraries including flask, django, marshmallow, typer, sqlalchemy, pandas, numpy, and many more.
• I have authored a few libraries.
• I have been keeping up with PEPs, and sometimes offered my feedback.
• I have knowledge of the internals of development tooling, including mypy, pylint, black, and a pycharm plugin I have created.

I wouldn’t give myself a 5/5 since I would consider that an attainable level of expertise, with maybe a few expections around the globe. IMO the fun part of being really good at something is that you understand there still is to learn ❤️

I’ve had a very tough time finding my first position as a junior dev

The hiring landscape for software engineers/developers is a mess for the past year or so. You shouldn’t internalize the experience, most likely you are just unlucky.

A few things to consider for finding a job:

1. Utilize your connections, a lot of hiring still happens through connections. If you have attended a university/college/bootcamp reach out to your professors and check if they can refer you to any positions.
2. Make sure your CV can be parsed by tools. Try uploading your CV on open resume, if it’s not parsed correctly you might want to update it.
3. Create a portfolii website, it’s a great way to illustrate your skills. Also, others here can check it out and offer advice.
4. Update your LinkedIn profile, make sure to check that open for recruiters thingy.

If you want to learn more about react I am happy to have a chat with you (no fee), feel free to DM me.

Hi, I am a building a platform with the goal of supporting apps like this, and I would be interested to develop a plugin for your use-case as an experiment (no fee).

I am working alone on this and this is not my first priority, so I cannot make any guarantees about the timeline, or the scope of the plugin. But, if you are interested we can have a chat on matrix.

The project is not open source yet, but I am planning on doing so once (a) I figure out how to properly apply licensing, and (b) remove any potentially critical information (credentials) from the repository.

I have been using for the past month. I am not a power user, I mostly use it when I need to access libgen. Previously, I was using nordvpn. I feel proton is faster both when connecting to a server but also the connection is faster/more reliable. For example, if I forget to turn it off, I can watch a yt video without any issues.

Is that adhd? That’s definitely adhd!!!

I would add spaghetti in the middle

Yes, I always review the code, just avoid nitpicking the hell out of it.

Not really, we are a small team and we generally trust each other. Sure there are things that could have been better, but it’s not bad either.

I am definitely guilt for that, but I find this approach really productive. We use small bug fixes as an opportunity to improve the code quality. Bigger PRs often introduce new features and take a lot of time, you know the other person is tired and needs to move on, so we focus on the bigger picture, requesting changes only if there is a bug or an important structural issue.

By the way, I am building my own Journaling system, it’s still early stages and I am looking for ideas!

Me neither buddy, me neither…

Falsehoods About Time: … Time always moves forwards.

I had to learn this the hard way… I was working at a platform that pulled measurements from sensors. The sensors did not declare the timezone for the timestamps of the measurement and the platform broke down twice after daylight saving. The first time there were duplicated records which caused conflicts and the second one we weren’t handling impossible timestamps.
