I'm looking for better ways to track my work contributions and progress, both for my own reference and for communicating with my team/manager. Currently, I struggle with:

Remembering all the small but important contributions I make throughout the sprint/quarter Quantifying impact in meaningful ways Keeping track of indirect contributions (helping others, reviewing PRs, mentoring)

What systems/tools/methods have worked well for you? How granular do you get with tracking? And how do you present this information during performance reviews or 1:1s? Particularly interested in hearing from both ICs and managers about what they find most valuable in contribution tracking.

I recently started a new job and need to quickly understand a large codebase. I’m considering using ChatGPT to help with this, but I’m not sure how to share the entire codebase effectively.

Has anyone figured out a way to share a large codebase with ChatGPT for better context and understanding? Are there any tools or methods that work best for this?

I'm a senior frontend developer with 8+ years of experience, currently working for a consulting company. I moved to the Netherlands two years ago and now aspire to join a FAANG company. While I am proficient in React, HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, I don't feel entirely confident in my skillset for big tech companies.

I would appreciate advice on the types of applications or projects I should build to improve my skills and make my GitHub portfolio more appealing to FAANG recruiters. What projects would demonstrate my capabilities and align with what these companies are looking for?

I'm curious to learn about the innovative tools or products you've either built for yourselves or discovered online, powered by Generative AI. Whether it's a personal project to streamline your workflow, a creative tool that sparks joy, or a product that has significantly impacted your daily life, I'd love to hear your stories.

I have the last interview/meeting with some of my potential colleagues. This is an interview from my part where I am supposed to ask about the company culture and relocation experience from my colleagues. The job is in the Netherlands and I will be relocating alone.

Not sure what kind of questions i should ask. Looking to get some guidance here for this meeting.

Please share what sort of questions you would ask or if you know any link with a compilation of question please do share .

From a developer's perspective what kind of bugs vs features balance should he/she strives for when working on a product?

Do too many features offer better career development over too many bugs?

I have an upcoming interview with the team I would be working with. This is the first time I have an interview with a team.

I will only get 15mins for it and not sure what kind of questions to ask so I can know this is the team I would want to work with.

I am from South Asia and in an interview process with a German e-commerce company. The role I am interviewing for is Senior Frontend Engineer. I have already given my technical interview and this should be the last interview (according to the recruiter).

The interviewers would consist of the recruiter, Engineering Manager, and Engineering Director and then I would get the chance to meet the team I would work with. I am not sure what kind of questions to expect from them or to ask from the team. I want to ACE this interview that's why I want to get some tips from people here.

Please feel free to share any kind of guidance/suggestion/interview experiences here. Thanks a lot.

I am in a dilemma where my tech skills are bit outdated.

I have been working as a frontend dev for the past 5 years but unfortunately i don't have much experience in the latest frontend framework mainly React JS and every new job requires proficiency in React.

In my current job the product i am working on is based on plain JavaScript with jquery so i don't get a chance to learn react on the job and have to find time outside working hours to practice and build some projects in react. It is becoming increasingly hard for me to spend all my time on working and learning and it seems like i am on the verge of a burnout.

I need some guidance here, espacially from people who are/were in similar position and how do they get out of it?

There is a saying that who you know is more important than what you know.

How do you make connections with the right people in the software industry, espacially after the covid?

I am working remotely and want to get a new job in Germany. I am thinking of moving to Germany on job seeking visa and start looking. But I am not sure what I can tell to my current employers about my new relocation.

I might be in Germany for whole 6 months before I would get a job so I can't tell my company that I am on visit visa for 3 months.

Anyone else here had a similar situation and got away with it without telling your employer that you are moving to a new country to find job?

I am job hunting in Germany and wondering if its a right time or not? Like U.S, is Germany also facing great resignation?

I am working on on a very large codebase for the first time,mainly on the front end code. Needs some tips on how to trace down the code base effectively?

What are your strategies to scale up frontend? What process and coding style do you follow so that the project could scale up easily in the future?
