He goes over the major points these companies can improve how they hire and keep high-quality developers. First, he asks companies to consider what they mean by “senior developer”; what do they want their developers to do and what are the tangible outcomes they want to happen by hiring this developer? In doing this, Charles explains, it will help them design an interview that will reveal the most qualified developers for what they need. Charles uses examples from his experiences both as an employee and a boss showing the benefits of hiring this way. The next point Charles discusses is the environment of the company, the onboarding process, meeting the needs of the developers, and hiring developers that fit well together in a team. He presses the importance of having an environment that makes developers want to stay and bring in friends. The final point he makes is not to rule out junior developers. Charles shares what to look for in new developers and the value they can bring to a team. He also emphasizes the importance of paying them their worth if companies want them to stick around.   Links https://devchat.tv/adv-in-angular/aia-228-issues-with-the-title-frontend-web-developer/https://www.facebook.com/ViewsonVuehttps://twitter.com/viewsonvuehttps://devchat.tv/https://twitter.com/devchattvhttps://twitter.com/cmaxwchuck@devchat.tv Picks Charles Max Wood https://codebeam.io/Elixir and ErlangFisherman’s Wharf, San Francisco, CaliforniaCoit Tower, San FranciscoAlita Battle AngelThe Expansehttps://andyfrisella.com/blogs/mfceo-project-podcast/https://podfestexpo.com/Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Rolf talks about his inspiration for starting the company. He has lots of experience creating businesses and web development, a passion for lifelong learning, and a drive to pass his knowledge on to others. The Vue school has been going for about 2 years. It follows the example of open source by collecting outside ideas to improve their product. Rolf talks about his history and interest in programming, and he and Chris discuss the importance of having passion in your field. Chris asks how passion is ignited in the Vue School and how do you explain something complex to students. Rolf follows the model “Explain it to me like I’m five” by explain technical topics without the technical terms. For example, instead of using “mutate”, you use the word “change”. Technical terms don’t always translate and sometimes people don’t even agree on what they mean. The Vue School focuses on using simple language so that it is accessible to more people, especially people in other countries. They talk about the challenges of being surrounded by experts, the lack of perspective from only seeing the finished product, and how it’s easy to think that you’re stupid when you’re surrounded by people with a very particular skill. Rolf’s term for people whom he looks up to and have achieved things that he likes as “machines”. He and Chris discuss fostering a growth mindset even around our ‘heroes’. They talk about how to foster an environment within the Vue school that keeps people feeling secure and unafraid to ask questions.   Links The Vue School Picks Rolf Haug: Evan You’s Kendrick Lamar karaoke rap Chris Fritz: Call My Agent on Netflix Oslo, Norway Special Guest: Rolf Haug.

Sponsors Sentry use the code “devchat” for $100 creditTripleByte   Episode Summary In this episode Chris and Divya discuss the various aspects of making online forms for clients or checkout processes for customers user friendly. They discuss input masking which allows the user who might be a client or customer to input data such as phone numbers and emails in a way that is readable to the user while still allowing the browser to read the information on the website or when filling out an online form. Chris and Divya touch on some basic questions the engineer might come across in creating these fields. These include: where the users cursor is, pasting issues, time zones, autosizing text areas. They go into detail on filling out forms and the options of having multiple end-points one end point, and ways to help the customer or client fill out data smoothly and correctly. They discuss a little about using a progress bar to help users to see how far along they are in the process. They discuss the option of help-text which helps users to quick reference what something might be when filling out a less familiar form. They discuss briefly the usage of max-limit or max-length; AB Testing. Ultimately in this episode, Chris and Divya help those software engineers who are wanting a basic understanding of what questions they might come across to make a client or customers process on the form or site as smooth as possible through input masking and more.   Links cachefly.comAutosizeRachel's Cartooning For DevelopersContent EditableGet SelectionComputer Properties and Watchers   Picks Chris Stardew ValleyTalk to people - “Talk to people in your life when you are having a hard time.
