Yea the job market is brutal. Being unemployed and getting rejection after rejection is really the most demoralizing thing.
Behavioral interviews are actually my least favorite and I have no idea why I'm not passing them. Either my experience is not good enough, or I'm not presenting it well enough.
Anyways to anyone struggling out there - hang in there. Remember that all it takes is one offer to be employed.
it is actually more common from the European and Middle Eastern context to call the (Turkish and Levantine and Arabian) Middle East "oriental"; in Israel, "oriental food" is hummus and felafel; the Orient Express train went to Istanbul. East Asian is the term for ... east Asians and of course the SE Asians you mentioned, and South Asian is the term for "India+Pakistan+" people. Central Asian is the "the -stans" and Mongolia and parts of Russia.
In the US almost no-one would say "asian" for any country west of Nepal. Sometimes they say "south-asian" for India or the surrounding countries, but even that term is only sometimes extended out to pakistan.
Yes Spotify UI/UX is absolute garbage. It's not even possible to simply view a list of all songs by an artist. Also I had to turn off autoplay because the recommendation engine wouldn't stop autoplaying the same song.
I think you're underestimating the amount of things built with nocode.
I don't think most people are building landing pages anymore by handwriting code anymore. Same with blogs (eg. Wordpress). There are MVPs of successful businesses that've been built by Bubble.io. Internal dashboards and such can definitely be built without code such as via Retool or Looker or whatever.
WYSIWYG obviously makes sense for frontend, but less so for backend. For backend code I don't really see how some visual drag and drop editor could make for a better interface than code. And even if it could, the advantage of code is that it's fully customizable (whereas with a GUI you're limited by the GUI), and text itself as a medium is uniform and portable (eg. easy to copy and paste anywhere).
Not to say that we can't create better interfaces than text, but I do think some sort of augmentation on top of a code editor is probably a more realistic short-term evolution, similar to VSCode plugins.
- Would be awesome to be able to open an existing animation (eg. like any of the ones showcased). It's a built overwhelming for a noobie opening up to a blank editor page.
Your suggestions are greatly appreciated. We're constantly looking for ways to enhance the user experience, and your input will definitely be taken into consideration.
How would that solve anything? In San Francisco drugs are practically already legalized, and filled with junkies openly doing fentanyl on the sidewalks.
Fascinating and confirms my suspicions. The point when the questions popping up in my feed were obviously not genuine is when I lost interest in Quora. The worst was how it'd always show me variations of questions fetishizing working at Google. Seriously every single Quora digest email had some variation of a question like "What is the best thing about working at Google?" Unsubscribed and don't miss it.
My newsletters always had one-two of those and then another that was always like "what's the hardest part of how nobody in society respects you for having a 160 IQ?"
