Anyone here tried Hired? It's an okay platform, but especially fun to lol @ the various seed stage places who are hard up looking for people and approach you even if you're under-qualified for the senior elite ninja 10x positions they advertise for. I guess it's like browsing Angelist startups except they come to you.

Some fine examples of the horrors that await you if you pass that whiteboard interview: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=13416935 Example: quote:This. It's not like there is a sign saying "Technical Debt Required to Proceed"...but rather the slow death from a thousand cuts to productivity caused by having to analyze every potential system, process, template, stored procedure, etc, etc...to make any stable(ish) change. Even if things are loosely coupled and not dependent on each other...you still have to go in and make those changes. Telling this to a room full of non-understanding management is a whole different challenge...

i probably need more skills/experience to get the positions I'm applying for. Too bad my work isn't motivating me to improve, nor do I think what I'm doing is teaching me the skills I need to have to pass those interviews. guess it's time to work on ~*side projects*~ does anyone work on side projects, how did you pick something that you care about what if i just did a bunch of tutorials and read books instead. can i put tutorial programs on GitHub

tutorials and books aren't bad but they might not build your confidence in the best way, and its sometimes easy to get dunning-kruger-ed by going though exercises where lots of things are laid out for you sometimes the easiest way to end up with a side project is to just start thinking of ideas passively, write them down, start working on what looks good, ditch it if its boring, etc lots of peoples successful side projects come out of recognizing something interesting at work or in life that they want to pursue and the only real way to come across that moment is to explore its yet another multi armed bandit lol
