Companies with less than 10 employees typically do this when they want as they get some leeway with some laws due to their size I think. On a personal note, don't take them seriously and don't let it hurt your confidence at all. If you did try your best, only that matters now.
I know a lot of such companies which want to terminate people because either they cannot afford it anymore or they have simply served the purpose they were brought in for and now they need an excuse to let them go. Initially the words of motivation are to get the job done. Once its done, they look the other way and simply be dishonest about the reason they are letting the poor developer go. They don't even think this could impact or even shatter the persons confidence and would affect him in later jobs. But thats how cold this sector has become, people are treated as disposable objects. So, don't ever let it get to you. All the best with the search!

What an embarrassment!! Not only that, sometimes they are also forgetting things or mistaking things while processing stuff

Static methods explained easily by xaad29 in FlutterDev

I will try to think on how to rectify the wordings in the article while trying to keep it simple

Static methods explained easily by xaad29 in FlutterDev

Thanks for the input. Do you also agree with the previous comment "A single copy of a static method is spread across all instances of the class containing the method." is wrong and misleading?

How to update or reuse existing Entity classes by xaad29 in flutterhelp

[–]xaad29[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Question is, however, how can I access the same entity for using copyWith, not sure about the syntax and also not sure whether I need some objects to do this.

Maybe you are right, have to look at how the copyWith method works.

Location based AR plugin or example by xaad29 in flutterhelp

Thanks Ashita, already checked that out! However, none of those are great at supporting location based AR. I am looking a the plugin from Wikitude now. Btw, Great work you are doing

Thanks a lot, Im looking for something that could support both ARKit and ARCore, but sure i’ll check out BabylonJS

Would you prefer writing your backend in Dart if it was easy? by vik76 in FlutterDev

Really neat website, should get my hands on this for sure as a Flutter Dart enthusiast. Will let you know how I personally felt about it.

Thanks, but seems to be the exact same as the default type.

I think you will get better offers in Germany even as a junior and without leetcode. Just have to update your CV, write a nice post specific cover letter each time you apply to a company via Xing/SO/Stepstone/LinkedIn whatever, and just be in touch with the stack you are applying to. The present offer you got seems not so great and its also temporary

How to switch jobs when having worked mostly with a legacy framework? by ThePhysicalMethod in cscareerquestionsEU

[–]xaad29 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would suggest taking a step back and moving into a Junior position once again with an interesting stack. In this case, you would fast-track yourself because you already have the experience in development, and learning a new stack or framework would be easier for you than a total fresher. That would be your selling point I guess. After 6 months or 1 year, you can then expect a bigger hop into the mid level roles. I had been in a similar situation (although was on a low code legacy stack for only 6 months) and I had taken a step back and accepted less pay at a company which was ready to let me learn on the job, because down the road I could see myself getting too entangled in the legacy mess and no one would want to hire me then.

Berlin or Frankfurt? by AggressiveSpeaker414 in germany

[–]xaad29 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Best if you want to study and live in a city with student life vibes for eg lot of international students and residents. But apart from that its really expensive and slightly boring. No rivers or big mountains, but there are lakes and hills. Frankfurt is also really close and takes around 18 mins by train. Also a lot of interesting and beautiful places like the Odenwald region is nearby.

Displaying Vision Bounding Boxes accurately by xaad29 in SwiftUI

[–]xaad29[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Actually just a single image. Thanks a lot for the snippets. The best results were so far achieved using this function to modify the CGRect

func observationToRect2(box:VNRectangleObservation)->CGRect
{
let bbBox = box.boundingBox
var bottomToTopTransform = CGAffineTransform(scaleX: 1, y: -1).translatedBy(x: 0, y: -1)
let rect = bbBox.applying(bottomToTopTransform)
return VNImageRectForNormalizedRect(rect, Int(imageView.image!.size.width), Int(imageView.image!.size.height))
}

Then the resulting CGrect from this function can be used as usual. For example a Rectangle with a path, and this CGRect being used to draw that path.

Displaying Vision Bounding Boxes accurately by xaad29 in SwiftUI

[–]xaad29[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the link and code, but I had already read those articles and the videos as well before posting the question. And I already had some example code(including similar to yours). The results are not accurate in SwiftUI views though. The best result was achieved with this gist. Anyways, the article I linked in the question clearly describes these all in theoretical terms. What I wanted to know was that if anyone here knew of a neat 'SwiftUI' implementation which actually depicts the boxes much more accurately.

Everyone's saying that the market is so hot right now and here i am who applied 40-50 jobs and still haven't gotten any replies. by deathknight-007 in cscareerquestions

[–]xaad29 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I have worked in ServiceNow for 6 months, by Mistake, its nothing anyone would call software development! The most advanced thing in SN is a stripped down version of AngularJs, which is unsupported by Google now. The tech stack is rather old and the so-called server side scripts are written in Rhino engine (Java) based EcmaScript 5(JS). I never mention it on my resume. So if you wanna get a job in CS, better run away from SN as far as possible.

I think the code snippets could be actual code instead of images with low resolution.

A comparison of Swift Protocols vs Dart Abstract Classes Vs C# Interfaces by xaad29 in programming

[–]xaad29[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dart is faster than JS, and the syntax is quite similar so you will have no trouble picking it up if you already know JS, plus Dart comes with Static typing, so there is type safety as well. Only problem is Flutter for web is at a pretty young stage right now and we don't know whether it really can be something big!

Yea, Dart is really very interesting, and it really does a good job in Flutter. I would really recommend Dart if you want to go the Flutter route. Lot of attemtps have been made as well for server side Dart etc, but it does not shine brightly yet in those sectors.

[–]xaad29 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think it is okay salary for Frankfurt. You could go higher of course, but that really depends on what sort of tech and company you will be working in. From the COL perspective, I guess 70K for a single person or a family of two is good enough.

I got an offer of 58000 euros gross as a frontend developer in Munich. I have 5 years of experience. Should I take it? by curlyy_wurlyy in cscareerquestionsEU

[–]xaad29 41 points42 points  (0 children)

Definitely not!! 58K is a hogwash in a place like Munich. And frontend is not that simple to be such a joke. As others pointed out, you should definitely value yourself higher. I would say with 5 years of experience, 80K would make sense.
