Tech Job Hunting

Mock Interview Sites

Would advise you all to practice just for fun. I know a lot of students don't get much practice for interviews.

• interviewing.io - Allows you to have mock interviews with engineers from the bay area (so they say, but I am an interviewer on the platform too). I personally like this platform a lot and used it both as an interviewee and an interviewer.
• Pramp - Peer-to-peer mock interviews. You get matched with another person, get assigned questions and take turns to be interviewer/interviewee. I personally dislike this platform a lot because I had a horrible experience being matched with some guy who didn't know shit about regular expressions, gave me a wrong test case, and led me down the wrong path of solving the question.

System Design Cheatsheet

Picking the right architecture = Picking the right battles + Managing trade-offs

Basic Steps

1. Clarify and agree on the scope of the system

• User cases (description of sequences of events that, taken together, lead to a system doing something useful)
  • Who is going to use it?
  • How are they going to use it?

Anatomy of Spring Boot Start Up Timing

When a Spring Boot app starts up with default (INFO) logging, there are some noticeable gaps (pauses). It's worth focusing on the gaps when looking for efficiency savings because of the amount of time they take, and because no-one bothered to log anything, so the chances are the app is doing something repetitive. We can tweak the logging levels to try and fill in the gaps and find out what is going on in there.

Basic empty web app with actuators has three such gaps:

0                                                                        1410ms

Hourglass

Not 100% exactly how sands in an hourglass fall, but close enough!

Used CSS Shapes - shape-outside to make have the text flow in an hourglass shape.

Blurred the text during animation to hopefully make it less dizzying for those prone to motion sickness.

Hourglass design purchased from PixMarket though Creative Market https://creativemarket.com/_human/799904-Hourglass
