RespectfullyOfficially heard back from Coinbase last night and they confirmed what I already knew. They left a feedback form and I let them know how I felt. Professionally of course

If ever someone wants to get Pull Requests pushed through quickly with no real review because "developers shouldn't have to wait the whole day for approval", punch that MF in the throat straight away 
. This person submitted a grip of code that looked like it might have been 80-90% of the way there on the surface, but running it, the shyt isn't close to passable. Whole pieces of functionality just wrong. That's my fault for thinking highly enough of this 20+ year veteran to trust that they'd put out good work.
Simple but obvious postulate: time in the industry doesn't equal competency. Gotta have low expectations out of people until you see consistent high quality work out of them.

I'm trying to figure out a good way to get good tests in and actually tested.
I don't think the industry does enough of that.
If someone knows a good way to test UI stuff. Please help a breh out.
Testing is underrated and an afterthought. IF code is testable and there aren't any tests, writing some is a decent way to get an understanding on how things are put together. I did that a couple years back for 3 of the applications in the umbrella I was under. Applications were like 5 years old with almost 0% coverage. Struggled to get up to 50% and I had to get very creative to do that. On the flip, tried writing tests for an application earlier this year and it was literally impossible because the code was written to sit inside a runtime environment that I couldn't provide at test time.I'm trying to figure out a good way to get good tests in and actually tested.

For UI Selenium comes to mind. I can't recall any other UI testing frameworks.
As a follow up, Robot Framework using Selenium is a solution, although I'm not a big fan of Robot: Robot Framework and Selenium Automation: Tutorial | BrowserStackIf someone knows a good way to test UI stuff. Please help a breh out.

A red dot texted me after having come across my resume and has a position at a big 4 asked my number (contract). Specs i’m way oqd but he also gave me a ridiculously low number, playing on my line gthon
My search might be a little too fast/early as I do want to at least get to Feb here but we will see yield. I’m not desperate or in a bad/unfavorable situation to stay or leave.

I meant desktop UI. Should have clarified. But I appreciate the info though.
This person said they don't like a lot of logging in the application. Almost jumped through the phone and choked them out.

Fifth round of interviews next week with this firm.
Also networking within my current firm for other roles. We'll see what comes of that but if I get the gig at the place I'm interviewing for, then it's deuces especially if the money is right

They gave me a retention package today 
12 percent raise, 20K bonus if I stay for the next 8 months. Never in my life thought I'd be making what I make now.
I am still going to keep grinding, since same company has let people go when they didn't need them anymore
they can do the same to me lol.

I haven't had one convo where I haven't brought up salary within the first 5 minutes lmao, yesterday fielded a call and they were selling the role and one q about the end-user then I'm like "Yeah so what's your xyz"
"Yes so I don't waste my time and don't want to waste yours but xx this isn't a fit. So appreciative of your time, all the best!"
Have three (4?) more of these but pretty confident they're on my track of field and salary expectations- I put the number in one of the filled forms and they just messaged me to ask for my schedule. Unfortunately I really do work-a lot- so pretty ballsy to be scheduling these during haha
I strongly prefer to have client-facing roles and mostly have because they can track rev for my accounts and have direct feedback/repeat, new business and contracts won etc.

I pointed out to my boss a few things about our team (I do way more and have much better success than those in the higher role lmao, I only took it bc I took a 4-year break from my field) and wrote in my review that the promo convo needs to happen very soon. The other day they brought up making me lead on our largest accounts and some of our most difficult/demanding clients-they are literally finding me on LI for some reason too and stay wanting to get on the phone. Happy to accept however I don't think they will match a number or title, if it's worth it to even try to float any offers to them, and I cannot invest freely which they don't compensate for. I love the team for the most part but turnover + money talks, the rest walks on a muthafukking tightrope. If I hold out til Feb I won't have to pay them back, gonna have to really negotiate with new company to give a 3 weeks to a month's notice and start ~March or comp me with add'l base to supplement forgoing or repaying anything here, less likely. Then starting my PMP Ed requirements, I suppose.
My new manager…nope. Not it at all. Has a very “naggy” tone.
People don’t quit jobs, they quit managers. Here here to that.
