Recently heard the news about Meta/FB ordering a hiring freeze. I guess they are preparing for slowdown in next few years or might have just hit their hiring quota. Hearing a lot of startups have started layoffs as well. Are there similar talks going on in your company as well?
As an engineer myself, I haven't been really able to understand what advantages do blockchains offer over general distributed databases? It can be lack of knowledge as well but to me blockchains just seem like extremely inefficient form of DBsThe only comment I have seen is that they allow decentralization. But then why would it make sense for them to use for private companies, banks etc. ?Note...
I have a decent job but I aim to get into FAANG or maybe work for a big startup or just ambitious folks. But my ADHD, doesn't allow me to focus on stuff that I don't find fun.I can work on coding projects in a hyperfocus state for hours if I find it interesting. That is one of my strengths I would say.Doing Leetcode religiously though, not so much.
2. That is also true. But I need to overcome it to read technical books. Otherwise, it'll be pretty difficult for me to progress in the career.
I find it a bit of a struggle to read books both tech and non-tech on my laptop (since I keep on checking other apps). I have tried physical books but keeping organised notes is lot of a pain. Also, how do you eliminate all the distractions around? My hand just automatically go to open Twitter or Reddit or Youtube
