Due to all the news about mass layoffs, I made this website to help prep for your next SWE Interview.
You can practice not just the coding part, but your explanation and talking parts of your interview as well.
Give it a try! Feedback is welcome!
I created this website that allows you to quickly and easily share your files using magic links. The link will only be active for an hour after which your file will be deleted. The main inspiration came from not wanting to use drive space when sharing large files over gmail.
It's still in beta but I would love to hear any feedback or thoughts from the community. Let me know what you think!
Interesting view! I hadn't thought about them as pop-up ads. Probably the ideal version of an update is that it works and adds to your existing flow seamlessly, but I wonder what the best way is to intro new features that are separate from your existing workflow... not sure.
Every day, thousands of people use a given app for the first time. We don't bombard them with pop-ups for every single feature. Yet they manage to become proficient.
There's this wonderful expression that people don't buy a half-inch drill bit; rather, they buy a half-inch hole. Every team thinking of adding another cling should ask whether they're selling bits, or helping people drill holes.
> Often I'll see one of those little popup things appear and then disappear since I already hit the button I wanted to do. I wonder if the popup thing had something important to say? Who knows! It's gone now.
I thought I was the only one who got annoyed by this. I wish they had some kind of history or in app place to view the updates all together.
That's fair. I've been using Android for the past 10 years after originally using iPhones, and I definitely agree that it's frustrating how much each OS update changes the UI. I'm actually considering switching back after seeing Apple's more recent OS design updates.
I find Google's updates on apps like docs and their work suite are a little more navigable than the Spotify desktop app UI changes, but that's definitely not the case for all their products. It's a good point that they did basically setup the idea of users being "perpetual beta testers".
Nice insight!
