Rishab Kumar Ok. I have dozens of certs and did a lot of hiring, so listen me out. I'm going to explain how they are important and how they generally 'work'.

1. Certs don't really prove job skills.
2. They prove that the person knows *something*.
3. This might make a difference for an entry…

Abderraouf | FitTech 🏋️‍♂️💻 RiyaLITY Just create 2 posts. 1 - with question. 2 - with a wrong answer under a different account.

When writing security-related code, instead of

if (isSomethingBad) return;

write
if (everythingIsGood) {
// do things
}

you sometimes can calculate full negation for 'everythingIsGood' and exit early, but it's not as easy to think about and susceptible to bugs later.

Upwork is up to something

66 years apart

It's good to be coherent with your tech stack, but it's important to know what actually works and what doesn't.

For example, in AWS stack Elastic Beanstalk actually works, and Amplify doesn't.

'Silver bullet' and 'magic pill' salesmen lie. Always. No matter how sweet what they say is.

>REST instead of GraphQL.

This is a bit sophisticated topic. Having successfully implemented GraphQL in one project, and having phased out GraphQL from another product because of the overhead, I can tell that you whether you need GraphQL or not actually depends on the case.…

'Marcos G. I have no idea what 'boyscouts neglecting kids' you are referring to here, but you are answering to me, so I will briefly explain how I operate and why I don't like all this 'don't get too tired at work'…

Infantilism is completely out of control among developers. I mean, c'mon, is this what you expect from other service providers? Teachers? Medical personnel? And we are speaking about a higher-level manager here.

I've never understood the appeal of Tailwind

The power of CSS is reusable classes

Style once → apply anywhere

Modifying a Tailwind style means doing a find and replace on 100s of instances of an HTML object

What am I missing?

If you see a React form 2500 lines long, kill it with fire

Don't let contractor companies use aliases for developers!

If you do decide to outsource work to a software shop, some companies will try to use generic names for developers contributing code, like dev1, dev2, or just something like a company name. Don't let them do this! This…
