I work at a small startup trying to hire engineers and got tired of looking through resumes. As Joel Spolsky points out, they're not great indications of technical ability.

Instead, I decided to throw together a take-home challenge that applicants could access via an API. "If they can't solve the challenge, I don't need to see their resume," I told myself.

FizzBuzz.md is a better version of the solution I built for work. It lets applicants send questions and submissions to configurable email addresses via API so the email addresses aren't exposed directly. (Less spam, FTW)

Hope you find it useful. I plan to use it going forward.

Hey everyone, I’ve been a smoker for years. Tried dozens of apps, tried quitting cold turkey more times than I can count. Nothing really clicked.

Most apps I found either felt too robotic, too motivational ("Just quit now!"), or they didn’t fit how I needed to change — gradually. So... I built my own app. It’s called QuitFlow, and it’s my very first iOS app (yep, 45k lines of code later).

I’m actually a backend developer (Go - primary language) by profession — React Native gave me a way in, and honestly, props to AI code editors too. Without them, this would still be sitting half-finished on my laptop.

But this app is different because it’s built by someone who gets it — not just a dev team guessing what smokers need.

Here’s what QuitFlow focuses on: - Track both electric (vape) and non-electric (cigarette, weed, etc.) smoking in one app. - Connect every smoke with a craving — QuitFlow links each smoking session to what triggered it, so you can see deeper patterns over time. - Understand your habits — quickly spot when, where, and why you smoke the most, and make smarter decisions to avoid those situations. - Encourages delay, not just quitting — the more you delay your next smoke, the more you stretch the gaps between sessions, the less you smoke overall. - Built-in habit tracker — quitting gets easier when you replace the habit, not just fight it. - Simple health tracking — track symptoms like coughing, poop, gastritis, and sleep, and notice real improvements. Privacy: Requires no permissions.

App Store Link: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/quit-smoking-tracker-quitflow/...

I’d love your feedback — whether you’re trying to quit, cut down, or just better understand your smoking patterns. - Check it out if you're curious - Ask me anything about the app, building it solo, or quitting strategies — I'm here.

Thanks for reading.
