There are good reasons to do singletons in python. But your first instinct shouldn’t be to jump straight to one

Java devs have some of the worst habits when they learn a new language. Why create a global variable for a setting in python when you can instead wrap that global variable in a Singleton class that makes using it no safer, and far more complicated

Hackerrank is a huge joke for so many reasons. I would rather hire a Dev whose biggest project thus far is an arduino project with 6 stars on github than looking at someone’s hacker rank

I mean don’t bother with jobs that ask you about esoteric programming challenges or nonsense brain teasers. All questions or take home problems should be demonstrations of your ability to work with the actual material issues at the company you’re going to be working for

Focus on jobs that don’t do white boarding

Maybe I should subscribe to this community. I’ve been falling further and further out of love with Hacker News with all sorts of tech illiterate / science illiterate takes that get lifted to the top. Its getting to the point that I assume any top ranked comment will be demonstrated absolutely wrong in 5 years

I don’t want access to your server but I’m more than willing to chit chat Linux and FLOSS stuff

It’s still not great. Programming is a form of communication, and the platforms you design will reflect the kinds of messages you want to nurture and propogate. I made terms with it, electing to use lemmy in the fediverse on an instance they don’t manage (theirs are lemmy.ml and lammygrad.ml), because kbin wasn’t quite prime time ready yet. But if I were going to keep using Lemmy once kbin is more mature, lemmy would need to be developed with a decentralized governance committee or there would need to be a hard fork
