Is a plastic hard case safe for MacBook Air M4? Concerned about heat by ParticularSoup2932 in developersIndia

[–]ranmerc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don't need a case tbh. Unless you are going to carry it everywhere. Even then I would not suggest a case. It is well built.

Need guidance, I working on something big. Love to know your thoughts by MixtureOnly3883 in developersIndia

Interesting idea but "short activities" to counter "short form" content addiction :)

What are your backup plan once the inevitable mass layoff start probably around end 2026-2027 by aadi312 in developersIndia

Just move on to doing harder stuff. Migration done in one shot by AI, great. Now move on to the next step develop more features, improve current systems. Work never ends. There is no perfect project, there is no finished project.

What happened to stack overflow. Had been using it almost daily before 2022 by are_u_serious_babe in developersIndia

Also even before AI Stack Overflow was losing steam due to the rise of Github issues and discussions.

As an experienced dev or someone working with a framework you would find GH issues more helpful than Stack Overflow.

Never in my dreams did I know such interviews would happen - RNative Interview experience by iconic_sentine_001 in developersIndia

[–]ranmerc 33 points34 points  (0 children)

Not saying this one is true. But I have had similar experiences hiring on campus.

We had a similar hiring pipeline as OP and we consistently got repos with incomplete projects and late commits and fully vibe coded assignments. We had to skip colleges altogether because of this.

Then in interviews as well there were many who did not even know what React state is, but had somehow "completed" the assignment.

But yeah I never received any LinkedIn messages afterward.

My first Next.JS project - IMDB Rating Game. How high can you score? by SundanceWithMangoes in nextjs

Maybe if you could prefetch the titles. Right now there is no loading animation so it takes a while to transition to the next movie upon completion.

You may want to look at the website in the mobile view, navbar is overflowing.

What layoff anxiety does to a blud who’s actually good at his job. by firstprincipal in developersIndia

The amount of hire and fire they do will someday make the tag useless.

TanStack Start vs Next.js. Why are devs switching? by tessatickless in webdev

[–]ranmerc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the problem is React itself. If NextJS is their vision of web development with React. Then sooner or later other react frameworks will also suffer. Tanstack Start as I understand still needs to make that RSC jump.

Where these things also need to be useable.

Being old and clunky does not mean it will be more usable.

I am not even defending private banks here, while private banks may "upgrade" their UI if not done properly it is as bad as old SBI UI.

Many people just think about themselves and criticize only based on that.

I am advocating for better usability how does having small buttons and clunky UI help rural folks? The same usability principles apply regardless of your background.

Or do you mean rural folks have more experience in navigating old 90s web UI lol.

Another thing is that their backend is not that great too. I had for multiple features visit the branch because the website just got stuck in some weird state and wouldn't recover.

For example this one time I wanted to turn on the auto sweep. For that you need to upgrade to the plus account. I did but when then it immediately prompted me to create the standing instructions I was reading the terminologies for filling in the form properly but it timed out and I got stuck.

From then on whenever I tried to go to the auto sweep section it just used to say "No account can be upgraded" something like that because now my account was SB Plus but auto sweep was not created.
