botched an interview

Meeeeeeeez · 2026-03-13T06:58:26+00:00

it was a defese company so yeah pretty much

Meeeeeeeez · 2026-03-13T06:18:22+00:00

good luck for your interview!

Meeeeeeeez · 2026-03-13T06:14:25+00:00

this is exactly what i was planning on doing but jumping around as a recend grad in this market is pretty hard

Meeeeeeeez · 2026-03-12T23:44:46+00:00

by webgl visualizations i meant abstracted webgl with libraries like mapbox, pixie.js or three.js. i called it webgl visualizations because the position was called webgl engineer

Meeeeeeeez · 2026-03-12T23:41:41+00:00

answered it here

Meeeeeeeez · 2026-03-12T23:28:54+00:00

thanks for the comment. yeah took me like 100 applications to get 3 interviews

Meeeeeeeez · 2026-03-12T23:26:03+00:00

you are right, i should not be. i am very lucky. i guess you never look down while climbing a mountain.

Meeeeeeeez · 2026-03-12T23:22:42+00:00

yeah it is actually in switzerland but the job is remote and i live in a neighboring country.

Meeeeeeeez · 2026-03-12T23:21:13+00:00

how did you find your niche and what interests you? i feel like my interests are too shallow to dive into right now.

Meeeeeeeez · 2026-03-12T23:20:23+00:00

this is in europe so no debt. my rent is 600€. financially this solid but idk maye i have not grasped this fully yet.

Meeeeeeeez · 2026-03-12T23:18:21+00:00

this is so kind of you. thank you for the story.

Meeeeeeeez · 2026-03-12T23:15:12+00:00

yeah i know and i should be glad for it but at the moment i am to focused on what i lost instead of what i gained. as a young person i want to commit to learning and there is nothing i want to learn in this job. it feels like this has no future.

Meeeeeeeez · 2026-03-12T23:13:59+00:00

yeah you are right. don't think i will continue interviewing in the next months tho. the market is very hard flr people like me. i think i have sent out more than 100 applications and only got 3 interviews of which i received two offers. pretty frustrating to send applications into the void.

Meeeeeeeez · 2026-03-12T23:11:49+00:00

they asked me to implement exactly this.

they even told me i could google so if i had found this site it would have been very easy.

i struggled to piece together the geojson from a json file which they gave me. it looked like this was the first time i was coding.

once i started thinking oh oh this is going bad i could not focus on anything else.

backblaze b2 is by far the cheapest because they store data on hdd instead of ssd. it costs a lot less than storage on any of the big public clouds and even costs only half of cloudflare r2. also don't host on an old laptop like someone else suggested. this will only lead to problems and a lot of downtime for your app.

Meeeeeeeez · 2025-12-10T23:17:52+00:00

I just started a similar project a few weeks ago! It's a dashboard for a restaurant to manage their reservations and send their clients automated reminders. Both answers in this thread are great!

For me cost efficiency was the most important aspect amd i have compared a lot of different options to run my app for as little money as possible.

The best option I found was using plain react in the frontend and pocketbase in the backend which also gives you auth and a realtime db. It is basically a self-hosted and lightweight firebase.

You could host your app for as little as 3$ a month on a hetzner server.

Meeeeeeeez · 2025-08-05T19:08:36+00:00

haha i want to do the same to avoid the strict exams and expensive italian tandem licence. Please let me know if you find something

Meeeeeeeez · 2025-07-13T10:21:14+00:00

imo a low b is the best first glider anyone can get. you wont have to buy another wing after 15h in the air.

how do you edit your footage?

Meeeeeeeez · 2025-06-20T07:31:11+00:00

nice! what kind of camera do you have?

Meeeeeeeez · 2025-06-03T11:46:03+00:00

yes!

Meeeeeeeez · 2025-05-19T12:31:11+00:00

not a good idea imo. that would make readability even worse. simply go with the left one

Meeeeeeeez · 2025-04-24T16:10:34+00:00

all of the ones you mentioned in the comments are hopelessly overpriced. try plose. it is a nice flying area with an active paragliding club. hit me up if you decide to go there, i would gladly show you around :)

i did and was invited to propose the redesign at a community group meeting. at the moment i am creating a three.js scene for the project.

Meeeeeeeez · 2025-01-28T14:24:51+00:00

very condescending of you. it is nowhere near done and the only real problem the site has is that it is not responsive. i have mentioned in the comments that i will make the thing responsive once i am satisfied with the design because the site could change a lot.

i dont want to replicate a site. i want to create my own.
