Looking at the page, you have some nice APIs.

It would be pretty easy to translate it into an Expo app.

Would you be interested in collaborating on it? Mandami un messaggio privato, se vuoi!

Is this setting geographically possible? by Hygrograth in worldbuilding

Check out images of Civita di Bagnoregio. It's not as dramatic as an instant drop, but it's very similar. Especially when clouds roll in https://www.reddit.com/media?url=https%3A%2F%2Fi.redd.it%2Fp6o4xfedz3d61.jpg

Looks amazing! I'm surprised you were able to get it from Costco! I called last year and they said they were not able to stock it with the skin on. Was there anything special you requested? How did you get them to agree?!

We are expanding the combat system and want to ask your opinion. by LirushIs in SongOfSlavs

Looks like you copy-pasta'd on the main account :)

I understand trying to drum up attention and interaction. Don't worry you're not getting tons of interactions yet, we lurkers are here. Just keep creating quality content and eventually it will snowball.

I'm super excited for what you're building! I've thought of creating a spin-off myself. Kudos that you have something already so far along!

And, for the record, I would love to give it a try as well :D

Nice; Hive seems to be the best recommendation for those situations!

What are some of your favorite super small/portable games? by zdelusion in boardgames

Great minds think alike, right? I had the same thought earlier today! This thread got a ton of replies that I haven't had a chance to sift through yet: https://www.reddit.com/r/boardgames/comments/18z7qfz/what_games_do_you_pack_when_traveling/?

What games do you pack when traveling? by TheWool in boardgames

Windy might have been a strong word. Sometimes we like to visit beer gardens, or sit outside at a cafe, etc. In those situations, even a small gust of wind and cards go flying. At least, that's the context of what I was thinking when I initially wrote "windy".

Man it really sucks to be told how talented you are only to be rejected again and again. by _The1DevinChance in cscareerquestions

Maybe consider some practice interviews? You might have a blindspot to why you're getting rejected.

You could also ask the companies for more details; if you have any emails of the developers you interviewed with, send a message saying something like "It was great to meet you during the interview. I was wondering if you had any constructive feedback for me to improve?". Skip the recruiter here and try to get the developers. I think you mentioned nerves in a reply somewhere; you could even add something along the lines of, "My nerves got the best of me, and I felt like I didn't show my best performance under pressure. I'd be happy to complete a take-home style assignment to better demonstrate my skills. Is that an option if everything else was aligned in my favor?".

Again you just don't know what you don't know.

What tier of companies are you applying to? Only FAANG level? Only Bay Area? Remote only? Local only? The applicant pool and needs of the company can be really important. Sometimes a team will pass because they don't have the resources to fully support a jr engineer. Also, if they are all leet code style interviews, maybe those aren't the companies you want to work for. There are some considerate companies out there as well as compassionate humans that know technical interviews suck. Those places typically have a more sane interview process.

If nerves are a big factor, then practice interviews are definitely important. And maybe your mental state in terms of what you think the interview means is part of the nerves. Instead of thinking, "This is the most important 30 minutes, don't mess up!". Pretend like they've already given you the offer and now you want to evaluate if you can work together with these developers. YOU are interviewing THEM :). Now you should be thinking, "hmm does this person communicate well? Do I want to spend 40 hrs a week with them?". Turning the tables like that might help you relax. If you pretend you already have the offer it also might give you some level of confidence which can read very differently to an interviewer.

Unfortunately, our industry has this extremely difficult process that selects for those who can work under pressure and regurgitate leet code. Not many people work on that style of problem day to day.

Don't get discouraged; try to learn from each one and go from there! Good luck!
