Hi! As I evolve my Compiler newsletter, I’d love to know what you, the subscribers, want to see more of in it. Interviews with interesting people from the software industry? Info on new technologies and tools? Deep dives into hiring or workplace trends? Fun and culture (if so, what kind)?
Please comment in this thread with your deepest wishes!
How about some comments on triplebytes experience placing older and/or more experienced, (10+ years) candidates. Possibly some advice on how the candidates should approach the process.
It would be great if someone could write an article exploring the practice -- employed by Hirevue and others -- of having candidates record a video interview so they can use their proprietary AI to analyze emotion and personality from the video and audio tracks. What are biases inherent in this approach? What classes of candidates are selectively favored, what classes of candidates can be selectively overlooked by such a process?
I never signed up for this mailing list and you’re spamming me now, despite me asking for you to delete my email address from your system months ago. Perhaps include an article about privacy in the digital age, and cover one of those studies showing how distractions from information overload is literally unhealthy. Finally, you might offer a vision about how growth hacking could become the slightest bit ethical.
I never opted in! No idea how you got my email address. Just because somebody did it before you doesn’t make it ok. This message constitutes CCPA notice to delete my information from your site.
If you haven't already, I'd recommend highlighting the commonalities and differences between Triplebyte's tracks, and how you should decide which to take.
(Context: there is an enormous amount of information about so many aspects of software engineering already available. You should highlight specific attributes and benefits of Triplebyte.)
Interviews with senior software engineers on their career progression I think would be helpful. Info about Postgresql and Laravel PHP framework would be cool too :)
I'd like to follow cool tech. I know the right job will come when I follow cool technology and my life is in order. I just interviewed with Facebook and Google outside of this program with one year of wait at the end. I built a lot of positive relationships along the way. For a software engineering role, the latest and greatest is the most helpful and why that technology is used. It would be a great asset on top of things like tech-crunch as well.
I think an understanding of what skillsets are most saught after in this economy would be very enlightening. We are all scrambling to understand how to adapt, what skills and characteristics are companies still searching for in this environment?
Maybe you could highlight interesting open source software projects (and do interviews with their maintainers/developers)? As an initial source of inspiration you could look at "Show HN" threads.
Since this is (now ;) a Triplebyte newsletter, your audience is going to be people doing software interviews, so topics on software interviewing also makes sense.

Sounds kind of wild. I'm going to check this out!
i've never heard of this either, +1 for some sort of investigative journalism on this topic

There's an unsubscribe button at the bottom of every email. Sorry to see you go!

I'd like to see more humor. The newsletter should be a constant stream of computer puns! (Well, I guess it'd be more like an Observable of puns...)
Do you know the band 1023 Megabytes? How could you? They haven’t had a gig yet.

Will get some more "how I got here" interviews coming in!

You're talking dev tools? Or consumer tech?

Yeah, this feels like a topic that can be revisited often!

I like these ideas! I have an "Open Source Project of the Week" section in the plans.
