It's easy to imagine that assembly code that's written with readability and maintainability in mind is less efficient than a readable and maintainable C program compiled with optimizations. But in any case, the difference between any compiled language and assembly is much smaller than any interpreted language and any compiled language.
2.5 minutes to apply seems very fast. What does it entail? Surely not the compilation of the entries, I need more than a minute to read a job posting in detail.
How do you maintain motivation to keep applying to jobs when tracking with data like this? After seeing countless posts on r/dataisbeautiful or similar where people detail number of applications > number of replies > interviews > eventual success, I tried for myself in the last hunt - and then stopped tracking it once I got to around line 55 in the spreadsheet and only 3 responses - all automated rejections
Eventually figured out it was more worth my time to just go with whatever recruiters were reaching out that week
Full disclosure: I did this as an experiment for an article (https://www.careerfair.io/online-maze) and as such my motivation to keep applying was driven by the piece of content I was creating. In addition, a lot of the time I wouldn't actually press the "submit" button - I would just stop my timer. Again, my goal was to create a cool, accurate piece of content that could spark interesting discussion, which did end up happening (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=37753292).
I wish they would have just stuck with tailwind which is capable of producing the same results, has great adoption, good docs and active development, without having to roll your own everything over and over again, as is common with css libs.
I imagine tailwind didn’t exist when they created this. Plus, there are many benefits to this approach vs tailwind; much easier to theme (crucial for fb), easier composition of styles in general and easier refactoring
I use autocomplete and headwind which is more or less just a VSCode plugin to sort the classes. Been very happy with that setup, albeit not “real” type safety
Yeah, author seems to heavily underestimate his own needs vs general needs. But for what Google et al know about me the results could indeed be more precise. I have developed a habit of appending “GitHub” in the search query for when I am actually looking for source code vs just trying to find a page that just downloads me a video.
No for business info. Apple pulls directly from Yelp. issue is when you want more info or you want to get a closer look at the business and tap any of its images, it will take you straight to the app store to download Yelp.
