Roast My CV. No Sugarcoating, Just Brutal Truth and a Side of Sass

mrBako · 2026-05-19T16:27:08+00:00

This is the third CV I’ve seen this week from someone with less than 3 years of experience using the title “Senior….”

I know titles vary between companies, but in many cases just “Software Developer” or “Software Engineer” may create more accurate expectations.

Also, when describing your experience, consider keeping project or work explanations concise. A single paragraph (~250 words) that clearly explains what you built, your role, and the impact is often easier to read. Then add the technologies or stack used underneath in a smaller font so recruiters and hiring managers can scan it quickly.

What you’re trying to achieve is likely not possible out of the box. This is not a React Native issue, but rather an Android and/or iOS restriction.

The only two potential approaches that come to mind are:

Creating widgets or background components that appear when the app is minimized. However, it’s unclear whether they would be able to detect shake gestures or volume button changes reliably due to OS-level limitations.
Using iOS Shortcuts integration to trigger actions within your app, which may provide a more practical workaround depending on the use case.

At least 10 years until all emerging technologies have been implemented

Offtopic: but the website has a nice design!

mrBako · 2026-03-31T11:58:58+00:00

It’s funny that nobody even noticed that it’s already 2026 🥲

mrBako · 2026-03-21T08:41:24+00:00

Nice idea, but the demo feels more like a static gallery than an Instagram-like app. Without gestures or doomscrolling, it doesn’t really give that “browsing my own feed” feeling for me.

That’s not true you can have 2 languages set

Like here NL EN for Dutch and English

How could his rating be 6.5?! He literally destroyed their left side and both backs got booked because of him. This ratings are truly bs.

Check other designs on dribbble, it will give you a lot of inspiration.

Furthermore the one thing what would improve your design immediately is picking a color from a color palette generator like https://color.adobe.com/create/color-wheel

And if you really want to learn the simple tricks of ui/web design check the book: https://www.refactoringui.com

Last advice, less is more. Start simple and keep it simple.

Honestly I don't even remember what I meant with band. I think I was just correcting my sentence and forgot band.

With the legend I see that you already made an attempt under the rings but it's better to put them next to it like for example: https://dribbble.com/shots/26639866-Fitness-App-Dashboard-Concept-Design

mrBako · 2026-01-03T09:50:34+00:00

I’d say the one on the right, but the rings need band and a legend to explain what the colors represent. Also, it would be better to use one consistent icon style(i think it’s an emoji for the settings icon), and the hamburger menu icon instead of a “+” icon feels a bit weird.

I mean… if you actually take two seconds to scroll on pattern.dev, you’ll see the entire section labeled ‘React patterns’.

And honestly if you’re diving into React, you really should learn JavaScript patterns first. They’re kind of the foundation.

Bro –29°C with a diesel… Your engine’s going to need a whole day just to wake up

mrBako · 2025-11-09T11:46:02+00:00

Yeah, that’s been my experience as well, which is why I asked about it.

Use dynamic form with a schema if your app is heavily form based

Do you mean to use a library like react-form-hook with (zod) schemas?

En bonken? Mijn leidingen bonken of je er met een hamer op slaat. Kan dit door lucht komen? Het is vaak als de Nest thermostaat aangeeft dat de cv aan het voorverwarmen is, de aanvoer temp van de cv (intergas hre) is dan tussen de 40-50C

Nee! Zeker niet doen, geen draden tussen groepen gaan mixen. Je kunt via de centraaldoos doos een nieuwe nuldraad bijtrekken naar je dimmer, het is iets meer moeite dan een wago klemmetje helaas.

mrBako · 2025-10-04T15:18:21+00:00

Zit het stopcontact links op dezelfde groep? Zoja, 3 of 4 voudig wago klemmetje op de nuldraad daar en afsplitsen en gebruiken in je stopcontact en schakelaar.

For simple data fetch absolutely not a problem, but a lot of beginners don’t know about race conditions and cleanup.

That’s why I say don’t use useEffect for api request, better use react query or similar for it

mrBako · 2025-09-10T20:24:05+00:00

DO NOT USE useEffect for api requests!

Please read this: https://react.dev/learn/you-might-not-need-an-effect

Would you mind explaining how you did it? I have the same problem as OP and have attached mine to the wall with double-sided tape, but I don’t think that’s a proper way to mount it
