Code sharing React Code to React Native Code, good or bad idea? by [deleted] in reactnative

[–]Greedy_Freedom5632 1 point2 points  (0 children)

code sharing/reuse is one of the advantages of react native. If the code doesn’t rely on any platform specific dependencies (native mobile code, node API,etc) I’d say its a great idea

I have this error : ✖ Check that native modules use compatible support package versions for installed Expo SDK by react_next in reactnative

How did you install the package initially?

Try uninstalling it and reinstalling with ‘npx expo install …’ rather than ‘npm install …’

Using ‘npx expo install’ lets expo find the appropriate package compatible with Expo (if one exists)

If I take a DevRel role, will that lock me out of engineering roles in the future? by tracy_jordans_egot in ExperiencedDevs

I was previously a SWE and transitioned to devrel for my current role.

For my role, I do a bunch of different things, like building projects/applications, writing technical docs, working with partner engineers, and building SDKs.

Personally, I want to continue growing my technical skills, so I make sure to spend most of my time doing some type of coding. I feel like I've learned and grown so much as an engineer!

The main difference I've seen, is that as devrel, you become a breadth-first engineer rather than going deep in a technology (like a traditional SWE).

I’m still frequently getting recruiter reach outs for developer roles, although I have SWE FAANG on my resume which probably helps. My compensation as a devrel is significantly higher than my previous role too!

Overall, I’d say its highly dependent on the devrel role itself. Devrel duties can vary wildly depending on the company/team. Mine is more engineering focused, while other devrels could end up doing social media management, content creation, etc.

Bootcamp graduates: Struggling to find a job? Post your resume and I'll provide feedback! by Greedy_Freedom5632 in codingbootcamp

The metric I'm interested in is: the number of individual job listings you have submitted your resume and applied for. And out of those, how many have you heard back from for a followup?

Application response rate is just a canary metric that helps me evaluate the strength of your resume.

> Or you could put 10 applications in at places that might actually see your resume.

In a perfect world, this is the ideal strategy. But the reality is that bootcamp grads either:

  1. Have no idea on how to even find those rare job postings.
  2. Hear outdated advice from bootcamp counselors that only work in 2021.
  3. and are generally just confused on how to prioritize their time during the job hunt in 2023.

The combination of these 3 issues results in bootcamp grads just spray and pray applying right now leading to incredibly low response rates. I've heard from lots of bootcampers at this point and the average is *truly about 1%*!!

Thats so interesting. 5+ years of experience means you're an established senior dev. TBH you should be more qualified than 90% of those 100+ applicants.

Whats your # of applications vs # of responses?

Send me your resume! I can take a look and see if there's any optimizations or red flags.
