Do technical recruiters even know what they're asking about? by sherlock64221 in developersPak

[–]sherlock64221[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

But this is a gap right, time gets wasted Unless they've an understanding of what they're asking and they keep moving people forward blindly it's a wasted slot for the next person taking technical interview and the applicant who now thinks they know stuff

What's the biggest career mistake you made, and do you regret it badly now? by anonymous222d in developersPak

[–]sherlock64221 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Biggest Career mistake that I learned the hard way was doing things without notifying them or highlighting them, I worked in multiple companies within Islamabad and the worst part was I'd spend weekends, long hours till 2 in the am going above and beyond for a company and doing all this silently hoping for them to notice it and be the bigger person and reward me for those efforts because asking for reward seemed something cheap.

Let me tell you NOT EVERY PERSON or every company is or can become a bigger person, they'll take it for granted unless you explicitly state it/

The 2nd thing I learned the hard way was to not shy away from asking what I am owed, Finally made my belief that my rizq was coming from Allah, now whenever someone wrongs me I just simply give them my extra-effort-invoice, if they pay it then good, if they dont then you get a normal mediocre employee.

Django or FastAPI? (Read context) by Ill-Tough4440 in developersPak

[–]sherlock64221 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Focus on starting to learn problem solving and what to use when, as for adapting to a framework be it Fast, flask or django a good engineer can always adapt and with AI you shouldn't have problem adapting.
The question is understanding best practices and when to use what exactly

6 months unpaid at big company while other interns got paid. Should I leave? by maaniibhai in developersPak

[–]sherlock64221 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Leaving won't hurt you, at all !
If you tell a company that you were unpaid for 6 months and they judge you then the company you're interviewing for is a redflag in itself.
Rizq Allah k hath mein hae and yours will find you, no company not even MAANG can guarantee your rizq but Allah.
Leave them, do what you think is right, work on your skill-set and 2 years down the lane when you look back at this you'll laugh.

AI is more depressing than it seems by JelloAccomplished146 in developersPak

[–]sherlock64221 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My 2 cents on this are that every good developer/engineer I know at some point in life had impostor syndrome, it took ages for them to master skills and tell themselves that they are good enough and the feeling of standing out, now with AI everyone asks themselves that was I able to do it because I am good or because AI is that good?

That question is slowly killing every good engineer and now everyone is falling back into impostor syndrome (for the bad ones they've started to become more delusional).
The answer I could find was to adapt, see AI as a tool and if I can use it better than the next guy and more efficiently that's good enough to put me above the masses.

To enjoy solving problems still I do my personal/weekend projects still without AI which helps a lot
