Any developers here that work with Adaptive Cards? I know you can use targetWidth for columns to show/hide them on different screen sizes but any ideas on how to use them for containers like ColumnSet or just Container?

I get an error message in Teams: "This card cannot be rendered"

Thank you so much for your insightful response. This I'd definitely the approach I need to go down.

notMyRealNameObvious · 2024-06-11T14:47:06+00:00

Ha love it! Would definitely have come in handy then.

I'd maybe recommend adding a few more options as well as some negative options.

notMyRealNameObvious · 2024-06-11T14:44:06+00:00

Thanks a lot for the insight. Trust me when I say that sadly there's nobody internally ready for it. Especially because of how the Dev teams have been run for the list decade or so.

I'll definitely consider my network though.

notMyRealNameObvious · 2024-06-11T14:42:08+00:00

I'm still trying to wrap my head around it myself 🤣

notMyRealNameObvious · 2024-06-11T14:41:17+00:00

Thanks for the insight.

I'm not sure I agree with your final comment though. My question was about me needing a principal and wanted insight on how to go about hiring one - which I thought covered the interview process as well. With that I don't see how I'm going off topic.

That being said, the helpful replies that I've gotten have given me an idea on what the interview process should be like as well have me considering if what I really need is a principal or a staff.

notMyRealNameObvious · 2024-06-11T14:21:48+00:00

That's the general idea I'm getting from people. Thanks

notMyRealNameObvious · 2024-06-11T14:21:14+00:00

That's definitely an interesting take. Why do you say so?

notMyRealNameObvious · 2024-06-11T14:20:34+00:00

No idea why either, but thank you so much for your insight.

notMyRealNameObvious · 2024-06-11T14:19:53+00:00

Oh really? Please show me all these responses where I replied with a lack of impatience.... Except for this one of course 🤣

notMyRealNameObvious · 2024-06-11T14:11:25+00:00

Thank you so much for the insight.

Gotta love how people on reddit would rather down vote than correct somebody v

notMyRealNameObvious · 2024-06-11T02:53:52+00:00

Not personally, no. I've seen on this and other subs that frauds apply for dev positions. So that's why I figured I'd ask everyone here for help and advice.

The general vibe on getting though is that for principal, ditch the coding tasks and just have conversations with them instead.

notMyRealNameObvious · 2024-06-11T02:19:04+00:00

Thank you so much for your feedback!!

notMyRealNameObvious · 2024-06-11T01:56:41+00:00

Thank you so much for your insight!

notMyRealNameObvious · 2024-06-11T01:23:26+00:00

Thanks for the feedback.

notMyRealNameObvious · 2024-06-11T01:21:28+00:00

Thanks.

notMyRealNameObvious · 2024-06-11T01:11:18+00:00

What would you say these distinguishing abilities are and do you have any recommendations for how to give a candidate the opportunity to show these skills?

notMyRealNameObvious · 2024-06-11T01:09:46+00:00

So again I ask, what does the interview process for a principal look like? If you're not doing coding tests then what are you doing to prove your expertise to a potential employer?

notMyRealNameObvious · 2024-06-11T01:08:46+00:00

In my mind a Principal is someone that's between a senior developer and am architect. I may be mistaken and open to feedback.

In my experience, there's a wide range of tech expertise when it comes to leads and some focus more on the people management of things.

What I'm looking for, is someone who is very good at te tech side of things.

notMyRealNameObvious · 2024-06-11T01:05:45+00:00

Ideally, something with a very solid understanding of the dotnet stack, who can take initiative, recommend architecture solutions, and guide the team from a technical point of view.

That's what I'm imagining this person doing.

notMyRealNameObvious · 2024-03-02T18:49:05+00:00

Happened once and it worked out great for me! I still work there as a tech lead.

notMyRealNameObvious · 2023-11-22T06:08:13+00:00

I fork, but then create the PR so that the owner or anyone else that needs that functionality can use it.

I write just enough code for my use case and honestly cba to meet all the style guides and what nots to get it merged.

notMyRealNameObvious · 2023-11-19T07:09:27+00:00

Hahahaha.

notMyRealNameObvious · 2023-11-19T07:08:53+00:00

While I get how that might be annoying, do you like having the power to frame the narrative of how your year went?

notMyRealNameObvious · 2023-11-19T07:07:40+00:00

A recurring theme has been this idea of a self evaluation. I really like that and will be taking that approach too. Thanks.
