A 🧵 on 9 different types of Tech Interviews 👩‍💻: I've looked at thousands of companies hiring software engineers as research 👨‍🔬 for my website nowhiteboard .org. Believe it or not, LeetCode isn't the only way to test a candidate! 👇 Below:

Just so people know @NoWhiteboardOrg exists. Seen this site improve over time and so proud. nowhiteboard.org #techishiring

@XquisiteDreamer @hashnode @KenyaFlutterDev @sam_baraka_ @OrestesGaolin @jonmeyers_io @dshukertjr @supabase Wow, you had a busy year! Keep up the good work, and looking forward to your 2023 retro as well!

My 2022? Reflections (Dev Retro 2022) { by @XquisiteDreamer } from @hashnode A mention to @KenyaFlutterDev, @sam_baraka_, @NoWhiteboardOrg , @OrestesGaolin, @jonmeyers_io, @dshukertjr, @supabase #DevRetro2022 , #devretro2022 blog.hijabicoder.dev/my-2022-reflec…

@HarshSinghAtZ I think you could use fly.io to accomplish what you’re looking for! It seems like they have a free tier. I haven’t used it myself as I have a VPS to run any scripts that I need to run

Which platform do you prefer to host your Twitter bot or run a script on the server 24*7? Looking for a cheap option!! Let me know I am kinda confused #NodeJS #TypeScript #twitterbot #developers

@mia__bala One of the people on love is blind is an ex-coworker of mine 👀

Pretty interesting write-up of 6 non-Leetcode interview formats that a senior engineer encountered recently! Also something great to see is that the companies weren't all small start-ups, either!

@_jiggabytes I don’t have the full context of the email, but the recruiter might mean they (the recruiter) spoke with the team about your application

@UnicornDev_ Haha, I’ve just been really liking his live studio version of Get It a bunch

@UnicornDev_ Keshi’s been very flavor of the month for me so I’ll probably buy tickets as well- thanks for the reminder!

@anthonyjdella @djangocon @TwilioQuest Just been lurking mainly! Hawaiian Fresh Seafood (best poke I've ever had), Spicy City (on the michelin list w/ 0 wait time usually), Menya (michelin list ramen), Awash (hole in the wall ethiopian food), The Friendly (super good burgers/pizza)

@anthonyjdella @djangocon @TwilioQuest Hopefully you get some time to explore SD! There's some great food spots here 😄

@parttimetech_io I think anything 3-4 days/week is ideal. 20-32 hours/week. Also I wouldn't need health insurance at this point, so I'd be fine if jobs didn't offer that

@NoWhiteboardOrg What would be your ideal role/situation?

Is there a job board/resource for part-time tech jobs (as in ~20 hours/wk)? Not 4 day work weeks, but actual part time jobs. I feel like tech pays so much that living frugally with a part time job would be do-able

@parttimetech_io I'm very hopeful for its success! I'll be monitoring the roles and possibly applying to some as well 😀

@NoWhiteboardOrg Hey we just launched parttimetech.io, might be what you're looking for. And agree completely with what you said, it's sort of the central thesis of why we built this. 🙏

@UnicornDev_ What part of GA? I was born and raised there, and only left after I graduated from college, so I’m super familiar with the state!

@FrankLearnsABit You could work on a compound interest calculator! It can start simple, but you can iterate to make it more complex by adding visualizations of different interest rates, forms to allow user input etc. Simple level could start as 0 user input!

Traffic still seems to be increasing over time! Hit 8.3k visitors in July, with ~3k organically from Google! Most traffic seems to come from people organically sharing the website at this point. Also been dealing with covid which kinda sucks 😿

@gentlegiantdev Sounds good - send me your github user and I'll add you!

@NoWhiteboardOrg No worries - we have things up and running. I was just curious to see how they walked people through it all. I would love to see your repo if you don’t mind. Always useful to see how other devs are putting stuff together!

Day 82 #100DaysofCode 🦉Wrestled with the Twitter API pretty much all day to try to get this Twitter bot going. Tbh most of the day it had me in a headlock. But right at the end some rays of light shone through and I got things working…mostly. #100Devs #100DaysofCodeChallenge

@gentlegiantdev Wish I could help more, but I can also add you to my repo that uses my Twitter stuff! My Twitter bot just sends tweets related to whiteboard interviews to a slack channel for me to look at - lmk if that would be useful!

@gentlegiantdev I tried looking again and couldn’t find it. Tbh I remember just finding a URL that would let me authenticate manually, so I remember getting the credentials manually and following a tutorial from there

@flooorrinse I’m low-key obsessed with him lmao 🐩

@NoWhiteboardOrg Here for the dog 🐶

Website was starting to feel a bit too serious sooo I added my dog to the home page!
