Haven't been to conferences for a long time. Awesome to participate in @ReactSummit in Amsterdam!

My thoughts about recruiting processes

Also what's changed is that I do see a point for algorithmic exercises(they don't have to be Leetcode difficult level, but just to make sure the candidate has basics in place).

Quit my previous job for...tons of reasons.
Now, I've been going through interviews in various companies and started to wonder...how to improve the interview processes for devs😊?

[Kethmar Salumets @kethmar]

Personally, I believe the interview process should be as lean as possible and save candidates' time. Eg pair programming over take-away tasks.

@kylepdotco Looks great, peaceful!

That said, figuring out how to write the prompt still required knowledge + it generated bugs that could be noticed only by experience.

[Kethmar Salumets @kethmar]

I knew ChatGPT is amazing, been using it daily for basically everything...but today when developing some stuff for a freelance client, it did 75% of the job.
Amaaaziiing. Scary? But amaziiiiing!

@catalinmpit - Take a vacation
- Get away from computer
- Find passion that's not related to work

Be willing to UNLEARN things you know. I've met too many people unwilling to let go of their egos, stating that they're experienced. But nowadays, mere experience != knowledge.

Been writing only unit tests this week.
And now telling myself for the 4353453rd time: ALWAYS WRITE TESTS FROM THE VERY BEGINNING!

@jorgenmatsi 1:42h + some seconds... 😊. The goal was 1:45, so super pleased, especially given in the end I felt I've could've run even faster. But hey...that's a learning for the next challenges 🚀.

@MrMorrisGames 😊😊😊😊😊Thaaaanks bro!!

[Kethmar Salumets @kethmar]

About a year ago, I decided to prioritize my fitness and well-being over my career. Since then, I've:
- finished a marathon
- finished the Iron Man 70.3 triathlon
- become more productive and happier in my professional life
💡My tip: always look for something to be excited about!
