• Leetcode and HackerRank coding tests don't work in developer interviews.

  I don't like HackerRank but I have done few https://devskiller.com/ and they are excellent. Source: over 1 year ago

• Can we talk about how absurd it is that translation agencies always send translation tests?

  There are websites (https://devskiller.com/, for example) that sell pre-screening tests to companies that hire devs. I know people from all these professions and they take a test when they apply for a position at a new company. I've applied for several non-translation positions and they all had tests. I really don't know what you're talking about. Source: almost 2 years ago

• At what companies have you had a positive technical interviewing experience?

  Two companies that used https://devskiller.com The problems aren't necessarily easy, but they were a holistic direct representation of the required skill set. Source: over 2 years ago

• Good .NET Interview Q&A Resource?

  You could sign up for a trial of automated online .NET testing tools and do some trial runs yourself, e.g. https://devskiller.com/. Source: over 2 years ago

• Ask HN: Modern Day Equivalent to HyperCard?

  LiveCode is about the closest literal logical successor to HyperCard. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LiveCode?wprov=sfti1 That said, I think Scratch is a better learning environment these days and you can develop workable apps in the style of HyperCard. There are plenty of tutorials, documentation, and examples to work from. https://scratch.mit.edu. - Source: Hacker News / 1 day ago

• Screen-free coding for children: the xylophone maze

  And https://codecombat.com, which has been around for a while now. I think this paradigm (navigating a character using "move" function invocations) is good but kind of exhausts its usefulness after a while. I question whether my daughter learns coding this way or just is playing a turn based top down platformer. The most code like thing is when you use 'loops' to have characters repeat sequences of moves. I... - Source: Hacker News / 2 months ago

• Ask HN: Yo wants to build a game, I'm lost. What can I do?

  +1 Scratch! My son started with it, then expanded into Roblox/Lua. Children can download other people's games and experiment there. Scratch also has pre-made art, sounds, music. https://scratch.mit.edu/. - Source: Hacker News / 4 months ago

• Ask HN: Yo wants to build a game, I'm lost. What can I do?

  I am also going to highly recommend Scratch[1]. That is what got me into a programming around that age. You can even help him make a website to host his games on. [1]: https://scratch.mit.edu/. - Source: Hacker News / 4 months ago

• Ask HN: Yo wants to build a game, I'm lost. What can I do?

  This ! Learning to code will come after, spending time with your son writing down ideas might be more fun at first and it's a good time to teach him that games are thoughts first and then coded after. I would have recommended Scratch [1] for a first introduction instead of hoping into code right away, but since he is 9yo he will most likely want to hop on big game engine like he sees his favorite youtubers doing.... - Source: Hacker News / 4 months ago
