In this short episode, we take a sarcastic look at the current state of tech hiring and why so many people in IT feel like the whole process has become a bit of a mystery.

It is impossible to measure productivity of creative work :blobcatcookienom:
If development team is doing something else than repetitive, factory-like work - all velocity metrics are subjective and in fact - fake :blobcatjustright:

Failure stories are not necessarily disappointing (in the long run) - 4-5 years ago I have tried to become Go developer. Initially did some learning myself and started applying. While my attempts to score :golang: job failed, some companies not only challenged me with intricate tasks, but also provided with useful tips where to improve and how to learn more.
One of examples - on-site task at Uber to create a minefield command line application with some logic from classic Minesweeper game. Allocated time was far too little to develop something working under interview stress, but later I managed to put together an application at home, at my own pace. I think I'm gonna document it properly and publish as tiny open source project, because I've learned some useful ideas in the process. Needless to say, I wasn't hired.
Now it's nothing major really, but later I managed to contribute a few bits to lightweight blogging platform @writefreely and make tiny improvements to :aws_logo: Lambda Function example.
Currently I am putting together little working API server application with :postgresql: connection pooler and external OAuth provider support to show how basic API tooling works together - will post it as #opensource project later this year 🤓️
Never give up doing what you are interested into! Even if you get "not good enough" somewhere or everywhere, do it as a hobby, improve and enjoy!

When I was growing up in India, you had to score certain percentage across board during your 10th grade exam to be able to get into science stream which in turn allowed you to get into either medical or engineering stream or graduate as just Bachlor of Science. if you couldn't score needed percentage you tried for commerce stream which meant you could be a CPA, CGA, CA etc... worst case was if you didn't score enough percentage there in which case you were relegated to arts college. In 1982 when I finished my 10th grade, although I scored high on math and science my overall grade was barely enough to make it to science stream. my father was simple govt employee and would not have been able to pay for private engineering/science school. so he urged me to take commerce stream instead. However as consolation price he agreed to let me take a computer programming course at a private institution. I learnt how to program in BASIC on Tandy TRS-80 computer. I will be forever grateful to him for that. For although I was an utter failure in school having lost all interest in studies, I took to programming like fish to water. School where I learnt hire me as teaching assistant to teach 10-12yr old kids right after I finished my course which allowed me to keep learning. I convinced them to pay me only half the salary ( equivalent to $12/mo at that time ) and let me sit in on COBOL programming classes instead. Only condition was that paying students got first priority when it came to booking computer time for actual coding practice. So I used to just write my code on coding sheets by hand and keep it ready. classes used to close at 10 and usually teachers used to stay on for another hour and half or so. so I used to get my keyboard time in during 10pm-11:30pm and usually had to be shooed out so that school could be closed for the night.
How did you get started in IT?
