And now 50% time software engineers are writing infrastructure. Don’t know what is solution but cloud-native landscape has increased cognitive overload.

Thumbs up for Django.

For senior roles CV/brand still weights. You need to be in initial shortlist then only leetcode and interview will be any help. I now work at a big brand high growth company and get pitched 2-3 new opportunities every week, although I have been in the current role less than 9 months. Previously I have to apply and rarely a recruiter approached me.

Not starting with a big name tech corp or a high-growth VC-funded company. Big brand on CV makes big difference when recruiters are doing initial screening. A CS/MBA degree from top university helps. Do whatever you can to work with a big tech brand early in career, otherwise later you will regret.

I am unable to suggest anything as I am out of touch these days. 5 years back every media CIO/CTO wanted to have Adobe AEM paired with Wordpress. Then they realised Adobe AEM is way too costly so decided to build authoring experience in-house but still using Wordpress and like for rendering and delivery. Recent trend use JAMStack/SSR for rendering. Don’t get me wrong it’s all great but doesn’t solve real problem media businesses face these days.

I never understood why media companies continue to reinvent the wheel. What’s commercial benefits if at all any? I guess, good for everyone’s CV. Build better media products, but no let’s build another publishing system.

Very timely. Just signed up.

Pricing is quite tricky. Gave a try without knowing that with free plan you can download only 3 times. Otherwise output looks great.
