Thats the ovivous answer but when you have 3+ years of experience, testing if someone has memorized djikstra's algorithm is useless when the job entails 90% CRUD operations for a web application...

:manny: I got 5+ years experience for the most part I stopped doing those stupid shyts. The first exchange with a recruiter I ask do I have to do Algorithms if they say yes I tell them no expeditiously.

I'll do a take home project but I'm not doing an interview that requires me doing Trees and LinkedList .

Finally feels like i'm able to keep up with my team somewhat. Typescript still beating my ass though, shyt ruins my flow. I'm tempted to just make the files into .js for my dev work then switch back to .ts then add all the types.

i hate the take home assessments. bc sometimes they are wrong and you cant ask questions or clarify. plus i hate working for 1-2 days on something and still not get the gig.

lets just knock this out in 30 minutes while i obviously explain to you want im doin to prove i can communicate properly :skip:

Found a java library that lets me encrypt and decrypt sensitive information .

So i know i can upload my code to github without exposing my database password and jwt secret key.

im also working on this other project called WallPaperWorld , where people can upload pictures and others can use it as a wallpaper if they like it .

got the idea from this site : Awesome Wallpapers - wallhaven.cc


i already got the logic for uploading pictures , by using AWS S3 buckets.

Hash isn't really encryption though. It's something I had to keep repeating to my old team about encoding vs encrypting. I don't know if you can reconstruct the input from the MD5 hash though so there might be some security in that.

it's cheap so you can brute force try to break it.

"On an NVIDIA GeForce 8400GS graphics processor, 16–18 million hashes per second can be computed. An NVIDIA GeForce 8800 Ultra can calculate more than 200 million hashes per second"

also on the other side ..

"One basic requirement of any cryptographic hash function is that it should be computationally infeasible to find two distinct messages that hash to the same value. MD5 fails this requirement catastrophically; such collisions can be found in seconds on an ordinary home computer."
