It was enlightening to learn about obscure parts of the Mac repair world and to ponder the lives of all the people you met.

Awesome article

As someone who interviewed in the bay for the last 7 years, ghosting is pretty normal on both sides of the equation.

It totally sucks when you go through the process and don't hear anything back but I also take it as a sign of feedback that I didn't kill on the interview.

I have ghosted a ton on interviews, never purposely but things get lost in the shuffle if you aren't super passionate about the company

It isn't a great habit/practice on either side, but by any means this isn't new

Re:Removal of Heroku free product plans on Thursday August 25, 2022 @01:23PM (#32596940)
I don't get why heroku would do this, it's killing any customer who would start off small and scale up.

I mean how much money could they possibly be losing from hobby dynos etc...

not that stable...
I did a hackreactor comapny in maybe 2017 (they consolidated it).

1. Not really sure what i learned but did so many algorithms that I could get a job.

2. Got a job with a bum company for $97k

3. Went to a major public tech company and made avg comp of $315k (mainly thanks to their stock taking off).

4. I have spent a lot of free time doing algorithms, coding in different languages, building full stack apps/projects, taking classes and doing online courses.

I think "starting" your career on solid footing is subjective based on your mentality and WHICH bootcamp. I have not heard good things about General Assembly nor their outcomes.

Re:Show HN: Stock Performance of US Senators on Wednesday June 03, 2020 @05:18PM (#23408895)
Feature request would add to this if you open source it

If Senator is head of a committee, say agriculture, show all underlying assets in that sector
