Preparing for technical interviews can be stressful and overwhelming. But Ilyas has some insights from his recent job search to help make your prep more effective. In this guide, he talks about the importance of active recall, how he used flashcards, and more.

Working on a backend scoring logic that converts open-source repository activity into normalized signals an AI agent can later use to recommend good contribution opportunities.

Shaking it up on Christmas with a fun virtual snow globe using React, Nextjs, TypeScript, and vanilla CSS to style and animate the snow effect.

Happy Holidays, friends!

T'was the night before Christmas

Trying to get this cute project done and #Canva AI helper has been super helpful to help me create a curve effect

What are your thoughts?

I love the workshops they've implemented!

This was fun to learn new string methods and implement one of my fav's: slicing

Definitely give it a try if you want to learn or hone in on your #python skills @freecodecamp.bsky.social

I love this site if you're looking to contribute to #opensource based on a certain language and you can read more about the project you're contributing to

Any other links you use to contribute to open source?

Lots of print statements in today's reviewing algo session

I needed to visualize and ensure the numbers I anticipated to see were being used

Working on auth flows in my project and created a separate file to handle signup, log out and log in with @supabase.com

When a user sign up, they'll be inserted into the database with their id and email.

Picking up on where I left off in my project and I suspected my code wasn't correct.

I was trying to clear notes and it was not working.

Realized I was using <Textarea> and is an uncontrolled component.

By using useState, I can control the notes state

😅😂

Acronyms help me solidify information and I love how @freecodecamp.bsky.social broke down the LEGB rule when it comes to scope:

Blanked out writing a ternary statement so it helped to write the if else statement

AI is beginning to use design systems exactly as documented. Gaps in examples, states & constraints lead directly to unpredictable UI output.

Join Brad Frost + Dominic Nguyen in a live session to cover what makes a system agent-ready.

My favvv Leetcode to come back to and almost forgot what a for loop is.

I wanted to do 'for in in range(nums)', but this wouldn't work since range function takes in a number and not a list

It's slowly coming back.

Refreshing my Python knowledge with @freecodecamp.bsky.social Python curriculum.

The time of the year to test if my core will stablize me from falling.

What do you think the verdict will be?

I love trying new drinks 🥤

They were both delightfully delicious

Slowly getting back into algos.

This was a bit tricky.

Using the test examples, I was able to walk through how the output were determined.

Would you have solved it differently?
