Hello my friends.

Here's what I picked this week. Enjoy :-)

💎 Tech & Dev World

1. Ask HN: Negotiating Salary​

TL;DR: The entire HN is discussing how to negotiate salary.

Why I enjoyed it: A lot of valuable advice from experienced developers and CTOs.

Favorite line: "This is the best single source of information on the topic: https://www.kalzumeus.com/2012/01/23/salary-negotiation/"

2. An incomplete list of skills senior engineers need, beyond coding​

TL;DR: 23 skills that are useful to have for a senior+ engineer.

Why I enjoyed it: The list shows what skills you can acquire to grow as an engineer. Many of these skills are very useful to have, others are critical.

Favorite line: "21. How to find interesting work on your own, instead of waiting for someone to bring it to you"

3. Boring SEO​

TL;DR: SEO advice for people who want to promote their product or startup with organic traffic and are willing to put in the work.

Why I enjoyed it: Short, informative and straight to the point.

🔥 Web Development

1. An in-depth perspective on webpack's bundling process​

TL;DR: A very long article that describes how Webpack works under the hood.

Why I enjoyed it: It's very detailed and insightful.

2. Photoshop's journey to the web​

TL;DR: The details of how Adobe ported Photoshop to the web.

WebAssembly and its C++ toolchain Emscripten have been the key to unlocking Photoshop's ability to come to the web, as it meant that Adobe would not have to start from scratch, but could leverage their existing Photoshop codebase.

Why I enjoyed it: It answered my question, "How the hell did they port an app that uses over 2 gigabytes of RAM, takes a long time to load, and sometimes freezes to the web?"

Gergely Orosz @GergelyOrosz Engineering managers: when doing a hiring manager/behavioural interview with a sw eng, what areas do you probe on? Here are a few topics I'd talk about. I'm putting together a "cheatsheet" to prep for HM interviews for engineers, so they'll be taken less off-guard on topics. pic.twitter.com/CiYJomTHTl October 30th 2021 73 Retweets 905 Likes
