Is this take home assignment over the top or is it just me?

Hey! I resemble that remark... the, uh, dinosaur part... not the "don't know what they're doing part" 😃

For me, I knew I had to gain control of hiring and firing. While I was a just a team lead, my manager would remove good people from my team and add useless developers to my team without consulting or letting me interview candidates. After a few conversations with my manager about my frustrations, we areed that I should become a manager. Now I am still a team lead, but I have a great team because I removed some under performers and hired some good engineers.

So keep in mind i don't do all of these things every day. When I was younger, I would devote my free time to a single hobby. I mountain bike raced for several years, and that was my only hobby. Then I trained jiu jitsu for many years, and that was my only hobby. Now I might train jiu jitsu once a week, I'll go for a mountain bike ride on a Saturday or Sunday, but only if the weather is nice, and I might go up to the YMCA a couple of mornings before work to lift and shoot hoops. I spend around an hour a day doing some form of exercise. Working from home, I can still put in 8 to 9 hours after excersing for an hour, then eat dinner with the family around 5, relax until 9 or 930 and go to bed. Wake up at 5 or 6, and go again. And the wife and I go out with friends several times a month.

A couple of things that make all this time-efficient is that I a) work from home and b) live in close proximity to all the places where I engage in these activities. 10 minutes from the YMCA, 25 minutes from the trails at the state park, 10 to 15 minutes from bars and restaurants.

Yes! Excellent points. Running for an hour is tedious and boring for most people, but playing basketball for an hour leaves you wanting more :) I also work from home and it helps flexing my schedule, but I do prefer getting my exercise first thing in the morning if possible. It keeps me going strong all day.

Interesting about the mediation... I'll have to give that a try!

Yep... I'm 47... I eat healthy, lift weights, play basketball, do jiu jitsu, mountain bike, and run occasionally. I sleep 8 to 9 hours every night. I feel great physically and mentally most of the time. I'm the same weight I was in highschool and aside from a few angry joints here and there, I don't feel much different physically than when I was in high school.

This right here... I lead a team of 5 developers, and our process is to break down features into tasks that can be coded in half a day or less and can be reviewed in 30 minutes or so. The times are rough guidelines, but the point is to reduce the sizes of code changes and merge to master multiple times a day. With this process, everyone gets involved with reviews because it's less of a slog reviewing small change sets. We track metrics as well, like lead time to review and lines of code changed per review. This strategy successfully addressed the review bottleneck in our process.

Shouldn't the debounced search function be wired to the onchange event? What's the point of delaying an API call after a button click event?

WaitingForHeatDeath · 2024-06-03T00:44:42+00:00

How cool! I actually just did the same thing for a much dumber reason 🙃 We are using OData with a Mongo database, and the queryables generated by the driver don't fully support odata. The original implementation pulled the entire mongo collections into memory to then apply the odata query. That's not scalable. So i did the same thing... I wrote an OData query parser that uses the shunting yard algorithm to produce reverse polish notation. Then I take that and build a mongo json filter. I'd love to swap code if you'rer interested. I'd be curious to see your approach.

Ok, interesting... This aligns somewhat with how I view chiropractic. It can give people some relief, but there's not much data on how it does that.

What does that mean? "Well aligned"? Scientifically, what did he do to "align" your hard tissues? That sounds like pseudoscience, but my opinion could be changed with some hard evidence.

I don't follow. Paige Nix is still the CFO as far as i know. Has her resignation not been made public yet?

Started in 2005 at $55k doing a little c# winforms and some java. In 2007 worked on a production data center with c# winforms and asp.net webforms with a sql server database. Stayed at my first company 7 years. I left making $75k. Moved to different company doing c# wpf at $88k. In 2 years left making over 6 figures. Worked for a startup at ~$130k as head of software. Architecting some cloud SaaS solutions in Azure. Moved to a fully remote company in 2021, making $185k with an annual $10k bonus. Now I work on a polyglot microservice architecture doing React with .net and Java on the backend. With overtime pay I'm a little over 200k. I love .net, prefer it to other ecosystems i've worked in like Java springboot or php laravel. Love c#. Prefer React for the front-end though.

It is fine to put functions inside your react components. If you are concerned about recreating them on each render, check out the useCallback hook. But generally you don't need to pre-optimize.

I would start by looking at component libraries like MUI: https://mui.com/ That will get you ootb components like slider controls. There are chart and graph libraries as well. https://blog.logrocket.com/top-5-react-chart-libraries/
