It's weird how many people believe that in five years, all software will be written using AI or Vibe Coding. If writing and deploying software were so easy, we wouldn't be operating 50-year-old COBOL programs anymore.

Should you learn something unrelated to coding?

You should! Here’s why:
βœ… Increases enjoyment and fulfilment in personal life.
βœ… Broadens perspective and develops new interests.
βœ… Nudges your brain to form new neural pathways.
βœ… Improves problem-solving and critical thinking.
βœ… Reduces stress and improves mental health.
βœ… Increases relaxation and ability to recharge.

What a Pain how to name your solution in VSCode for C# Project Tip #10

Repeat after me:

  • Initial conditions
  • Expected behavior
  • Actual behavior
  • Steps to reproduce, if known.

#BugReporting #BugReport #BugReports

Candidate: It is easy to find people knowing Node.
Me: How well does Node do when dealing with DB heavy OLTP/near-realtime transactional environments
Candidate: I use Sequelize I don't need to worry about database load.
Me: How does Sequelize manage schema migrations?
Candidate: What is a schema migration?
#softwareengineering #interviews

Candidate: I will use Node and add as many nodes as I want with AWS API Gateway in front. Elastic Bean Stalk to scale up/down as needed.
Me: Why NodeJS?
Candidate: It is the fastest environment around and we have enough resources to get things done.
Me: Please elaborate what you mean by resources.
#softwareengineering #interviews

Me: Okay and fair enough. Did you use Redis in primary-secondary mode or cluster?
Candidate: We used a single node Redis Cluster
Me: If you were to implement a solution which served up over 10k requests per minute, what language would you use and why?

<INTERLUDE>I know this question seems like a trick one, and if he had said "It depends", that would have been a good starting point</INTERLUDE>
#softwareengineering #interviews

Me: Why Elastic Search? Don't they support different usecases?
Candidate: Because ElasticSearch is more scaleable than Redis
Me: Why Redis? and why not Memcached?
Candidate: Because we had experience with Redis and not Memcached
#softwareengineering #interviews

Me: Why ElasticBeanStalk? and why not ECS or other simpler solution?
Candidate: Because ElasticBeanStalk gives me the ability to scale up/down instances. I cannot do that with EC2. I did not look at ECS because we were not very conversant with it.
Me: You could use ASG for EC2
Candidate: What is ASG?
Me: How else did you scale?
Candidate: I implemented caching in Redis. We started with Redis and then wanted to move to ElasticSearch
