much like qirex it’s time for me to also start complaining and interviewing i have a few irl leads to follow up on in the next few weeks but is anyone itt hiring a staff/principal/arch level backend dev? preferably in the Java/spring/Kotlin/reactor zone but I’m extremely polyglot and can be up and running in any lang and framework in like a day at this point in my career and life I’ve been wearing a ton of hats and moving the needle on projects for years now as both an IC and a planner, ticket writer, politicker, diagram and wiki maker etc

Does that apply to, like, c++ and lisp? Because that's a pretty bold claim.

Because that's a pretty bold claim. ok settle down folks I didn’t mean to ruffle feathers I’ve done embedded c and c++ professionally, maintained the build tool chain there for a bit (arm eabi), I’ve written UI tools in C++/Qt, I’ve written and maintained Django apps and contributed to big ones and dealt with dumb Python 2/3 things, I’ve written a bunch of little hobby games in Unity and C#, wrote little game servers with custom protocols in node js, done some PRs and serious tests in node w yarn for some teams at a previous job, I’ve maintained and bolted important features into huge ancient Java mono repos, green fielded nice Kotlin libraries w spring boot auto configure niceties, written fresh APIs and durable publishers/consumers from the ground up, I’ve worked on a VERY downloaded android app doing both internal infra crap and UI layout stuff, I’ve done a ton of Scala PRs in life but prefer to avoid it generally, I’ve done a ton of little rust things for fun in my spare time. I’ve done some basic stuff in actor frameworks (akka). at this job I’m a resident Kotlin and Reactor wizard (within spring webflux) and have been advocating for more coroutine or classic thread usage (our org sent kinda crazy using reactor in places it’s maybe not great for, like ETL-esque crons). I’ve written a handful of little MP game things in my life and am proud of my architecture chops there.  I haven’t written much lisp but it’s easy to write lexers for so I’ve stared at it a bunch in reference and syntax wise it’s not wild or foreign at leastthese days I mostly do service dev backend stuff and spend a lot of my time wearing the architecture and principal hat helping negotiate broader ideas or patterns or nicely talking people down from trying to build way more than they need to, with an emphasis on jvm adjacent technologies a cyberpunk goose fucked around with this message at 14:56 on Apr 26, 2022 |

Outside of tech majors and putative tech majors, basically, staff-and-up hiring gets done by calling up your old buddies and telling them you're on the market again and then they hop to it and get you a job. Interviewing was basically over years ago when you made your impression on your buddies, although non-buddies in the company may need to be convinced. So we're really handwringing over how to deal with the interview sequences at tech majors and putative tech majors, basically, unless you have more specific targets in mind

I’m just putting some feelers out there, it’s not crazy to be like “hey anyone hiring remote BE devs at MTS/arch/principal level?” best case someone is like “hey yeah lemme dm you” worst case is someone wants to be weird about it in the chill posting zone

A pointed, sarcastic approach to job hiring really helps balances the power dynamic of interviewing. "The hiring manager has no clothes" doesn't help confidence in the moment of an interview quite like "yo that dude is fukkin naked."

necro-, pyro-, and shadowmancers are acceptable due to their proximity to the accepted classes or, in the case of necro, because skulls are cool

one of the things this thread does is interview coaching. like the list of questions to ask or don’t name a number, abrasive feedback about how to talk about how to sell yourself most effectively is mostly well intentioned bob dobbs figgieland heat checks are annoying but more tolerable if you know enough pos lore that they’re coming from a dude who’s tryin to do a fft on a timecube
