Unpopular opinion, but sometimes, a more extended interview process is beneficial. In development, I often hear people complain about having more than two interviews before receiving an offer, while simultaneously seeking a substantial salary!

If the company is rigorously vetting you, assessing your communication across various business facets, and engaging in paired programming exercises, it indicates a genuine effort to find a good fit for the team.

I don't believe you can achieve that level of understanding in just a couple of interviews.

From my perspective, if everyone else on your team has undergone a similar process, starting means you join a group of individuals who have demonstrated they belong precisely where they are in the business and should be a solid cultural fit.

3-4 hour hackathon to build a game, built in an alpha engine that one of the devs made!

Very fun challenge and amazed that all the teams managed to develop functional mini-games in that tiny window.

Happy new year to all my connections 🎉 Wishing everyone a great 2024!

New Year Update:

Ever since switching to apple silicon, it means the laptop doesn't get hot enough to comfortably place it on my legs when wearing shorts. I used to run a build or run jest and my laptop was warm enough to be comfortable. no more.

Nice problem to have :D
