Ask HN: Is having Salesforce on your resume a red flag?

Hacker News - Sat, 05/04/2024 - 6:07pm

Lately I have seen positions for Salesforce developers that range from writing AMPscript for emails to working on their email builder Web application.

I threw the idea around in a group I casually socialize with. The consensus was that putting Salesforce work on your resume would be looked down upon by other developers and would ruin your chances of getting hired as a developer in the future.

What do folks here think about all of this? How true is it?

Ask HN: Has Reddit search suddenly gotten better?

Hacker News - Sat, 05/04/2024 - 5:53pm

The other day, I attended an open mic in my hometown and, still buzzing from the experience, wanted to search my hometown's biggest sub to see what they were saying about that open mic venue.

So, I visited the sub and typed in the name of the venue in the search box. Just the name, mind you - no reference to open mics or jam sessions or whatever. The name is something like "bojoboes" which also does not refer to open mics and jam sessions.

Somehow, Reddit was able to surface a single thread with 3-4 comments from two years ago which referenced open mics and jam sessions BUT had NO direct or partial reference to "bojoboes". Instead, people had named one other venue which wasn't anything like "bojoboes".

So, here what reddit was able to do - identify that "bojoboes" exists, figure out that it is an open mic venue, then key word search "open mic" from the UGC and surface that one thread, all within a few seconds.

Can someone else replicate this with things they are familiar with?

Ask HN: How do you develop and maintain a good note-taking habit?

Hacker News - Sat, 05/04/2024 - 5:50pm

I see a lot of people here talking about the importance of their respective note-taking systems for their life and productivity. I would like to gain the benefits of such a system but I run into a couple issues.

The first is that when I do take notes, I over-write them. I’ll find myself nearly word-for-word copying the information I need. This is a habit from my years in education where I would basically transcribe lectures as a way to maintain attention as a strategy for ADHD. Therefore, my notes end up a muddled version of the source material and I’ll just use the source material for reference, making the initial note take a big waste of time from the standpoint of having an easy reference available.

Another problem I run into is that when I’m very attentive to a task or piece of information and want to take some note on it or reference notes from elsewhere, switching contexts to my notes is disruptive.

Are there any resources you recommend for effective note-taking?
