That’s upside.

That’s a lot of walks!

Is there an app that will generate walking routes, so you visit different streets each time?

If I wanted to develop something like this, where would I start?

For me, this sounds like a developer with a lot of potential. You realized your weaknesses and want to improve. That's a big step forward.

To improve, you need to work on projects with more senior developers.

Few things that work for me well:

1. Talk with a senior person about everything you are going to do. How are you going to architect and implement stuff. You will learn a lot just by talking with smart people.

2. Have all your code reviewed by a senior person. It's good practice to do code reviews anyway.

3. Iterate quickly. Preferably, submit your code for review every day. This way you will get immediate feedback and can improve rapidly. I'm even often submitting empty classes and methods just to outline data flow and overall design.

Is it really true?

A lot of companies are focusing on hiring "short fat" engineers. Especially companies having "dev ops" engineering model, where engineers must be able to work on all stages of the product lifecycle - from design, development, testing, to deployment and operations.

Why do Java programmers wear glasses? Because they don't C#.

However, this is not enforced at all for software engineers.

So in lot of companies the official title is software engineer even without any accreditation.

As mentioned before, work on your Leetcode skills. Be sure you can talk while solving them on whiteboard.

From books I like "Elements of Programming Interviews" and also "Cracking the coding interview", even though it's little lightweight.

Then make your LinkedIn profile nice and shiny and contact the recruiters.

Made an update and now the expiration time of all certificates in the certificate chain is checked.

Thanks!

Thank you for the feedback. You are right, checking the whole chain is important.

I'm already partially supporting this but need to do few changes.

The intermediate certificates returned when making the request are checked. The system will use the earliest expiration time.

However, the root certificate (which is stored locally) is not checked.

I'll add the feature and update the documentation.

Thanks.
