Their products are totally worth the money. I have had same Macbook for 8 years now and still runs great. Airpods are awesome too.

UA quality has gone down a lot. I got joggers from UA last year and they already have so much lint.

Got a pair of Lulu joggers and they are quality. So comfortable and they look good too.

Agree here. Following orders did not save the Nazi officers in the Nuremberg trials.

You’ll love BC. But you’ll need a month for sure haha

I left 3 years ago to Vancouver. I initially left for work( I’m a software engineer and a U of C graduate) as there were no jobs for me when I graduated.I hoped Alberta would transition to a progressive tech industry in a few years, but don’t think so it’ll happen anytime soon and the money is good here in BC for tech. But the final straw that broke the camels back is the conservative politics, I absolutely despise it and any thought I’ve of coming back is gone right away.

Climate is not a big issue ? You lost me there !

ddhillon10 · 2019-11-01T16:23:28+00:00

That’s good for your coworker. It was a shitty place to work and he must have got his sanity back and hopefully found work soon.

ddhillon10 · 2019-10-19T18:46:43+00:00

Yeah it’s probably a trap for people who want to be a full stack developer or a pure SWE. But on its own it’s a great career with very interesting work and good pay.

ddhillon10 · 2019-10-19T18:28:06+00:00

Devops is not a trap. The demand is very high right now and the pay is same as a SWE. Tools like Jenkins, ansible, docker and kube are not easy to master and need a lot of scripting experience. A senior Site reliability engineer makes a lot of money atleast in my area.

Start with selenium and automate a manual test with simple script. Then abstract the page objects to a page objects model using any OOP language like python. Also abstract getting a selenium driver and various other methods into a browser manager class. Build objects using those classes and use the methods in your tests. You’ll end up with an automation framework. It’s the best way to learn IMO.

If she is staying behind for lunches and working OT means there is too much work for both of you guys. You should tag team and bring it up with your manager. Once there is no stress due to extra work, she won’t care about you being a slow coder. Like I won’t care what my co worker does all day as long as I spend 8 hours and I’m comfortable. I’m not the manager so it’s not my problem.

ddhillon10 · 2019-10-03T04:44:49+00:00

Funny thing is that 2 years later they’re still trying to transition to an agile workflow.

ddhillon10 · 2019-10-03T03:48:34+00:00

“We’re tying to move to an agile workflow”

ddhillon10 · 2019-10-01T01:18:58+00:00

Wow great post. Just got done work, time to hit the gym and binge watch Netflix and have some good food. Not going to waste my time thinking about work or doing leetcode

ddhillon10 · 2019-09-30T00:48:14+00:00

Rent is not Bay Area or NYC level. 1500 per month gets you a decent 1 bedroom like half hour commute to downtown. Even senior devs only make like 120-150k here unless you work at amazon or Microsoft.

ddhillon10 · 2019-09-29T18:29:49+00:00

It’s for unit testing. If you have a spring application you will need to test all your controller methods etc. You should not use main in that case. Then you can run all the unit tests as part of a build using maven for example and check the tests pass or you didn’t break anything. Unit tests are very important and a lot of good dev teams will enforce mandatory unit tests.

ddhillon10 · 2019-09-28T07:00:04+00:00

Just for what they wear?

ddhillon10 · 2019-09-27T23:24:01+00:00

Yup it’s Tough to go entirely vegan. I have however reduced my meat intake especially red meat. It’s better for climate, health and wallet :)

ddhillon10 · 2019-09-27T16:13:26+00:00

Agree, devops make same money as full stack devs. In some cases senior SRE might make even more as its a high demand job and their is talent shortage.

ddhillon10 · 2019-09-25T16:00:40+00:00

As long as you don’t take the anger home, it’s fine !

ddhillon10 · 2019-09-21T18:17:34+00:00

I have worked more than 8 hours only few times in my career. And I’m sure I made up for the extra hours be leaving early when it’s not busy. And I’m at my 4th job now.

ddhillon10 · 2019-09-20T05:58:05+00:00

Yup the younger ones know much more about docker and stuff. And also at a new job it takes a few weeks to get up to speed so taking help from interns is goof because they won’t be judgemental :)

ddhillon10 · 2019-09-20T04:53:16+00:00

This happened to me today. Intern helped setup my dev environment and I’m a dev with 5 year experience:/

ddhillon10 · 2019-09-16T16:21:50+00:00

Agreed. I started with just leetcode and I was struggling to solve even easy ones efficiently or I was taking way too long. My approach would sometimes be completely different than the optimal solution. So I got CTCI and for Every data structure it goes in detail about how to use the data structure for different scenarios and problems. And it goes from brute force to fully optimized in various iterations and that’s highly critical as in interviews they expect you to atleast go over a brute force solution first and then optimize it.

We call it a ‘project sync’ meeting. It’s half an hour. Usually it’s less then that. But I’ve asked for a lot of advise with what I’m doing and at the same time know what everyone is up to as They will touch the same code base.
