People grow according to the demands they make on themselves. They grow according to what they consider to be achievement and attainment.
If they demand little of themselves, they will remain stunted. If they demand a good deal of themselves, they will grow to giant stature-without any more effort than is expended by the nonachievers. ©️The Effective Executive

Learning #Kotlin. Any tips?

[Artem @ignart]

The body language in the online #interview is very important. Your interviewer is looking for as many signals as possible from your brief interaction. This isn't a strict rule or magic, but when you cover your mouth with your hand, it at least gives a negative impression.

... I'm assessing the project's complexity, stakeholder management, attention to detail, and the process behind it. I probably won't even make notes on exactly what the project is. I note only the idea of the problem you solved.

[Artem @ignart]

I spent no more than 5 minutes on each interview question. The candidate has 5 minutes to share a good example that directly addresses the question. How ready are you to answer the interviewer's question? 🧵

[Artem @ignart]

Think of what the interview actually wants to cover by the specific question. Each question has a purpose. I don't want to hear about the details of the problem the project is solving. I have 5 minutes, I don't care about details. ...

Create a toolbox of examples that showcase your experience best.
The question about a hard decision? This is not about PR, or a task delegation. I want to hear about the ambiguous situation, the way you approach it, and the considerations.
Be ready.

[Artem @ignart]

Do not rely on you providing a good answer on the spot because you have experience. You will be nervous, and the way you phrase might not be the best on the spot. The nuance of the question might not be something you were thinking of answering. Don't put yourself on the spot.

Hey folks, you do know that transferring a person with “negative growth” to another team is vile? You transfer such an employee to the exit process.

[Artem @ignart]

Just say, "I'm interested," and send your CV.
Don't open your profile in the separate team. Don't send a poem. I make it fair to everyone, but I don't read everything.

I made a post in LinkedIn, that I’m hiring multiple engineering roles. I got 200+ messages and connection request in the first day. Do you know how much I spent in each message? 5 seconds. Make it short and specific. Do not describe all your experience 🧵

[Artem @ignart]

There are a ton of irrelevant messages in my inbox. I ignore the message if it doesn’t send like a message from a candidate.

Nothing beats the pure time of coding. My conviction is that every engineering manager has to write code, regardless of their level or workload. One cannot be tech. One cannot manage people without getting their hands dirty.

[Artem @ignart]

Nothing could beat the feeling of being an up-to-date software engineer without writing full-time code. It is an additional effort and time, but it is so rewarding.

@letstri @connnectapp Curios, what motivated you to create a new client for PG?

I'm setting up a new MacBook for coding. This is a list of commands and apps you want to install and use. 🧵

#Zsh or #Fish? I prefer fish shell. It does what Oh My Zsh does, only with zero configuration.
