Job Hunting​

• The worst ever interviewer i have ever met, at the second interview with Fleet
  • This is the first time i face a rather offensive, rude and egoistic interviewer, from convo you can feel he dun actually knows a lot about engineering.
  • I really hate getting asked a vague general design question, i will always give vague simple answers to it. The real world does not work like that, thats not a healthy communication, thats just simply interview for interviewing, i hate that so much.
  • The fact he asked me how to avoid hash collision, granted that idk the answer, i choked here, but it implies he want me to answer something he knows and probably proud of, i have been there, and thats not healthy or helpful in screening candidates
  • He asked me whats the most complex proj i have done, i give my ans. He says it is not complex at all, 1. Rude, he should keep that judgement to himself. 2. Its not a 10/10 complex proj, but surely it is an average complex problem. He probably dun understand or even tries to follow what i say
  • overall i find the interview experience fucking sucks, seems like they are looking for a different person each round, they do a bad job at screening people. Feels like they want to hire a sa but not a senior dev
• I think because the two interviews are too polarizing, they decided to give me a third interview. I kinda dun want to deal with them anymore, but i dun think i have a choice.
• Cathay hr forgot to press accept participants, and i waited for 15 mins, at last she rescheduled

Vibe Coding​

• Copilot pro is not enough
• Kimi is... ok

Personal projects​

• Started the kafka clone, i am truly learning a lot, and i feel like i am doing something 集大成
  • Service discovery
  • Protocol design
• Completely revamped vibe watch list, added multiple features, align some design

Random moments (mostly food)​

• The next day is the fleet interview, studying nodejs stuff

• Also the worst interview i ever performed
  • But the interviewer actually tried to give me chance, tried to know more about me
  • He did not waste mine or his time
  • The technical level is just too far away
• I really appreciated the interviewer still give me a quite comprehensive feedback
