Hi, again! MissedMileMarkers! Been a while since I've been on Tumblr again and I must say, I truly missed seeing your work after a long while of studying for my finals and preparation for Christmas. I hope you're having a great holiday this year too, as I would love to see what adventures you'd be going on. What movies do you enjoy? And what's your absolute favorite movie, if you ever have one? If not movies, then books perhaps?

Anyway, I never really dabbled in photography because I think I'm not really cut out for it because of my lack of knowledge on the subject, although it doesn't hurt to try! Here are some photos I took, from my hometown. (P.S, I'm not anywhere in the US, just needed to point that out hehe)

Hey eyeofcathulu,

Its been a while since I have seen you in my feed. There are a few Tumblr's that stick out to me due to name, content etc. Your name is one of my favorites and always stands out. So lets get started on your questions shall we? I truly missed seeing your work after a long while of studying for my finals and preparation for Christmas

I really hope that you do well on your finals. Finals can be a very stressful time. Stay motivated, focused and calm, With all of that you will the day. Even if you cant do any of those things preparation will also win the day. Best of luck!

I hope you're having a great holiday this year too,

So far the holiday season has been good. Thank you so very much for the well wishes.

I would love to see what adventures you'd be going on.

The most notable adventure was the snow back in November. We got a fair amount. They were calling for much more over the days after but the storm never materialized into anything of not. I have also started working a walking video project. The start of that project has been very tough. But like any good journey it wont be easy and I know it.

What movies do you enjoy? And what's your absolute favorite movie, if you ever have one? If not movies, then books perhaps?

There are a few things here to unpack so let get to it. So for the types of movies that I absolutely enjoy. Are movies with a psychological twist. Movies like "Secret Window", "Memento" (not sure if that is the right spelling). My absolute favorite movie is "4 rooms" I like how each room is directed by a different director. The final room is my favorite. When it comes to literature the last non technical book that I read was "The stainless Steel Rat". I re-read it about 6 months ago. I sadly do not read non technical material as much as I used to.

Anyway, I never really dabbled in photography because I think I'm not really cut out for it because of my lack of knowledge on the subject, although it doesn't hurt to try! Here are some photos I took, from my hometown.

More about me specific to tech. I bring this up because it goes into one of your other questions that was just outlined.

So the reason I spend most of my time reading technical material is because I come from Tech. I am a devops / infrastructure / security engineer by trade. I also develop in a few different languages.

How I got into photography in a more professional sense is I got fired from my job. I have never even been written up before in my life let alone fired. I released a new product for a company ontime and under budget. 2 days after the successful release they fired me with 0 warning or chance to improve. They just used me for a specific purpose and then paid it forward by terminating me. I know this is truth but this event still hurts me to this day. I also might add their severance was garbage. That happened earlier this year and I have been doing this ever since. I have applied to over 10,000 jobs (that is no exaggeration) and have been on around 20 interviews. I have received 0 job offers. That part of this journey has been really hard.

Still to this day as strange as this is going to sound. "I do not view myself as a photographer". What I mean by this is probably not what one would think. I am a provider of emotion. Pictures invoke an emotion that I can never understand onto the people that see them. I can think the invoked emotion will be X however it will be Y for the person, and even if I can understand emotion Y from my perspective I can never understand EXACTLY how the person actually experiences that.

Tech v.s. Photography. In my tech career I change peoples lives. It was due to my hard work, dedication and precision that won the war. Literally thousands of people depended on only me doing my job. If I took one misstep then everyone, all their loved ones, families etc would all have been without financial security. I love working in tech. I get the same type of satisfaction as I do with tech that I do with photography but in much different ways.

"I never really dabbled in photography because I think I'm not really cut out for it because of my lack of knowledge on the subject,"

Statements like this should always be treated as an indicator to follow a potential passion.

More about my view(s)

The world is a very amazing place. The world is also very cruel that is not fair. I personally feel that no one should contribute to the evil that lurks in the shadows. All I am trying to do is bring true genuine emotion to people for whatever purpose serves them.

So you saying that you are getting through finals. Again I wish you nothing but luck. When you get to the point in your life when you enter the world please do it with nothing more then joy and happiness in your heart.

Back to the photography specific to you. I highly encourage you to do it. Just because someone does not have "training or education" sometimes all you need is passion.

A big part of life is figuring out what you don't want to do.

I highly encourage you to follow any creative path you choose. There is no time like the present to do what you might love and what other people night love.

P.S.

I really liked the pictures. You captured your home in an amazing way. I really like how you captured the sun in a very unique way.

Thank you for sharing these with the world!

Common Mistakes to Avoid When Hiring a NoSQL Engineer

Many tech businesses are switching from traditional relational databases to NoSQL solutions due to the rise of big data and real-time applications. Employing the correct engineer may make or break your data architecture, regardless of whether you're utilizing Couchbase, Redis, Cassandra, or MongoDB. Many teams still make mistakes in the hiring process.

Here are the most typical blunders to steer clear of—and what to do instead—if you intend to hire NoSQL engineers.

Smart Hiring Starts with Clear Expectations and the Right Evaluation Strategy

Focusing only on tool familiarity

It's simple to believe that understanding a particular NoSQL database, such as MongoDB or DynamoDB, is sufficient. However, true proficiency extends beyond syntax. Data modelling, consistency trade-offs, segmentation, and indexing across many systems are all things that a competent NoSQL developer should be aware of.

Ask them how they would create a schema for your use case or deal with scalability issues in a distributed setting rather than just what technologies they have used.

Overlooking use case alignment 

NoSQL databases are not all made equal. Some excel in document storage or graph traversal, while others are excellent for quick key-value access. Make sure the NoSQL engineers you hire have experience with the kind of system your project requires.

For instance, employing someone with solely batch-oriented system experience could lead to problems later on if your product needs real-time analytics. Match their experience to your business objectives and architecture.

Ignoring performance optimization skills

NoSQL engineering includes a significant amount of performance-under-load design. However, a lot of interviews don't evaluate a candidate's ability to locate and address bottlenecks.

Seek out engineers who can explain sharding, replication, cache techniques, and query profiling. As your data grows, they are the abilities that keep systems operating quickly and consistently.

Not testing problem-solving skills

Because NoSQL systems frequently lack the rigid structure of SQL-based ones, their designs may be more complex. Asking abstract questions or concentrating solely on theory is a mistake that many tech companies make.

Present real-world examples instead. How would they transfer SQL data to NoSQL? In a dispersed setting, how would they manage conflicting records? This aids in identifying real-world, practical experience.

Relying only on resumes or generic platforms 

Resumes frequently fail to convey a person's collaborative or thought processes. Make sure the IT recruitment platform you're utilizing has resources that assist you to evaluate real skill rather than just job titles, such as technical tests, project portfolios, or references.

You have a higher chance of hiring NoSQL developers with proven abilities if you use platforms that are specifically designed for data-centric roles.

Not considering cross-functional collaboration 

NoSQL developers frequently collaborate with analysts, DevOps, and backend teams. They should be able to convert data requirements into scalable solutions and connect with various stakeholders.

Make sure your NoSQL hire knows how to expose and format data for downstream analytics if your company intends to hire data scientists in the future.

Closing Speech

There is more to hiring a NoSQL developer than simply crossing off a list of technologies. Finding someone who can accurately model data, address performance problems, and adjust to changing business requirements is the key.

It's crucial for software organizations that deal with big, flexible data systems to steer clear of these common blunders. Take your time, make use of the appropriate resources, such as a reliable IT recruitment platform, and ensure that the individual you choose is capable of more than just writing queries; they should be able to help you develop your long-term data strategy.

💼 The 5 Paid Subscriptions I Actually Use in 2025 as a Staff Software Engineer

Let’s be honest — subscription fatigue is real. With everything from newsletters to toothbrushes asking for a monthly fee, it’s easy to feel like your wallet is bleeding through a thousand microtransactions. 🩸 As a Staff Software Engineer with over a decade in the tech world, I’ve subscribed to more tools, apps, and services than I care to admit — many of which were just okay. But a few? Game-changers. 🚀 So today, I’m pulling back the curtain on the 5 paid subscriptions I actually use in 2025, and more importantly, why I keep paying for them month after month. These tools save me time, streamline my workflow, and even help with my mental clarity. Whether you're a junior developer climbing the ranks or already leading engineering teams, this list might just become your new productivity toolkit. 🧠 1. Raycast Pro – $8/month The spotlight replacement that runs my desktop. Raycast has been my go-to productivity launcher for a couple of years now, but in 2025, their Pro tier has completely won me over. Why I use it daily: Superfast file search 🔍 Snippets for code, email templates, and CLI commands AI-powered commands (built-in GPT-4 Turbo) Custom scripts (Python, JS, Bash – you name it) Deep integrations with GitHub, Jira, Notion, Linear, and more As a Staff Engineer, my day flips between code reviews, design docs, debugging, and mentoring. Raycast Pro brings everything under my fingertips, cutting through context switches like a hot knife through butter 🔪🧈. Favorite Feature: I built a custom Raycast command that fetches open PRs across my org and even summarizes them using GPT — talk about dev superpowers. ⚡ Verdict: ✅ Totally worth $8/month for power users. 🔗 https://raycast.com/ 📁 2. Notion Plus – $10/month My second brain for everything personal and professional. Some engineers live in Obsidian or Evernote — I’m a Notion evangelist. While the free version is excellent, the Plus plan unlocks the real magic if you're working with teams or building advanced systems. Why it’s essential: Personal and team wikis Engineering architecture docs Career journaling & 1:1 prep Goal tracking & habit dashboards AI assistant for writing & summarizing In 2025, Notion’s AI has gotten seriously good. I use it to refactor messy meeting notes, summarize long engineering retros, and even brainstorm architecture trade-offs before I put pen to paper. ✍️���� Pro Tip: I maintain a “Staff Engineer Hub” inside Notion that links to my project artifacts, strategy docs, incident postmortems, and mentorship logs — one of the best ways I track my impact across teams. Verdict: 💯 Can’t live without it. 🔗 https://www.notion.so/ 💬 3. ChatGPT Plus – $20/month Your always-available pair programmer, meeting assistant, and technical buddy. Look — I’m not just writing this because this article is hosted on ChatGPT. I genuinely use the Pro version of ChatGPT (powered by GPT-4 Turbo) every single day. And no, I don’t believe AI is replacing engineers — but it's definitely leveling us up. 🚀 Here’s how I use ChatGPT Plus: Break down unfamiliar codebases (especially in onboarding) Summarize technical design proposals Draft PR descriptions and commit messages Prototype scripts or utilities Brainstorm team strategy or OKRs Generate interview questions for hiring panels 2025's GPT-4 Turbo is blazing fast, context-aware, and can now access custom GPTs — I have one that simulates a “DevOps mentor” I can ask about AWS and Terraform at 2am 😅 Is it perfect? No. It occasionally hallucinates, and I always verify its output — but it's like having an insanely smart junior dev by your side at all times. Verdict: 🧠 If you write code, docs, or even just emails — it’s a must-have. 🔗 https://chat.openai.com/ 🧘 4. Headspace – $12.99/month Because engineers need mental health too. Let’s take a break from tech tools and talk about something more important: our minds. The transition to Staff Engineer isn’t just technical — it’s deeply human.

Between cross-functional communication, driving influence without authority, and mentoring others, I’ve had days where my brain felt like a 200-tab Chrome window. 🧠🔥 Headspace has helped me slow down, focus, and breathe. How I use it: Morning focus meditations before deep work sessions Sleepcasts after late-night deployments Anxiety relief exercises before big presentations 5-minute mini-breaks between back-to-back meetings I originally thought meditation apps were “woo-woo,” but after a particularly tough quarter, I gave it a shot. Three years later, I consider it part of my engineering toolkit. Verdict: 🧘‍♂️ It’s cheaper than therapy and sometimes just as effective. 🔗 https://www.headspace.com/ 📚 5. O’Reilly Learning Platform – $49/month (covered by work) Still the gold standard for deep, technical learning. We’ve all bought 200-page PDFs from obscure newsletters, but when I need reliable, deep, up-to-date technical knowledge, I go to O'Reilly. Why I love it: Full access to industry-standard books and videos Hands-on coding environments (for Rust, Go, Kubernetes, etc.) Live online training and certifications Sandboxes for AWS, GCP, and Azure Proven content from actual experts, not AI-generated fluff As a Staff Engineer, staying current matters. Whether I’m leading a system redesign or exploring a new architecture pattern (hello, event-driven microservices), O’Reilly is my go-to. Bonus: Most companies will reimburse or directly provide access to this platform. If yours doesn’t — ask for it during performance reviews or L&D discussions. Verdict: 📚 Essential for any serious technologist. 🔗 https://www.oreilly.com/ 💭 Honorable Mentions Here are a few other paid tools that didn’t make the top 5 but are still solid: 1Password Teams – $7.99/month: Best password manager for work & personal GitHub Copilot – $10/month: Useful, but I use ChatGPT more Grammarly Premium – $12/month: For PRs and tech blog clarity Linear (Pro) – $8/month: Fastest issue tracker in existence Tailscale – $10/month: Zero-config VPN and private networking 🎯 Final Thoughts: Don’t Pay for Tools — Pay for Leverage It’s easy to get distracted by the shiny new thing. But here’s my philosophy: "If a tool helps me think better, work faster, or sleep more peacefully — it's worth every penny." As a Staff Engineer, your job is no longer just about pushing code. It’s about scaling yourself: your knowledge, your influence, your communication, and your decision-making. The subscriptions I pay for help me do exactly that. So if you’re on the fence about paying $5, $10, or even $50 a month — ask yourself this: Would you pay that much for 5 extra hours of focused output? For a calmer mind? For better code? Because I would. And I do. 👋 Over to You! Are you a developer or tech lead with favorite tools that make your life easier? Drop a comment or DM me on LinkedIn — I’d love to trade tool stacks. 📲 Connect: https://www.linkedin.com/in/webcodder 📺 YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@web_codder 📸 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/web_codder_official

AI-Powered Recruitment: Leveraging Technology to Find the Right IT Talent

As I settle into my home office chair, sipping my morning coffee and firing up my laptop, I can't help but marvel at how much the recruitment landscape has changed. It's 2024, and the way we find and hire IT talent has undergone a seismic shift. Gone are the days of sifting through endless resumes and hoping for the best. Welcome to the era of AI-powered recruitment, where finding the perfect candidate feels less like searching for a needle in a haystack and more like having a super-smart assistant do the heavy lifting for you.

I remember when I first started in HR, fresh-faced and armed with nothing but a stack of resumes and a gut feeling. How times have changed! Now, as I log into our AI-driven recruitment platform, I'm reminded of just how far we've come – and how exciting the future of talent acquisition looks.

The AI Revolution in Recruitment

Let me tell you, the integration of AI into our recruitment process wasn't smooth sailing from the get-go. I recall the skepticism from some of my colleagues when we first proposed implementing an AI-powered system. "But how can a machine understand the nuances of human potential?" they asked. It's a valid question, and one that I grappled with myself.

But then I met Sarah, a brilliant data scientist who opened my eyes to the possibilities. "Think of AI as your super-powered assistant," she explained, her eyes lighting up with enthusiasm. "It can process vast amounts of data, identify patterns, and make predictions that would take humans weeks or even months to figure out."

And you know what? She was right. Once we took the plunge and integrated AI into our recruitment process, the results were nothing short of astounding.

The Game-Changers: AI-Powered Tools Reshaping Recruitment

1. Predictive Analytics: Crystal Ball for Hiring

One of the most impressive features of our AI recruitment system is its predictive analytics capability. It's like having a crystal ball for hiring! 

Just last month, we were struggling to fill a particularly challenging DevOps position. The AI analyzed our historical hiring data, current market trends, and even factored in things like local tech events and university graduation dates. It predicted that we'd have the best chance of finding suitable candidates if we ramped up our search efforts in the next two weeks. Lo and behold, we found our perfect match within 10 days!

2. Natural Language Processing: Reading Between the Lines

Remember the days of keyword matching on resumes? Well, those are long gone. Our AI system uses advanced Natural Language Processing (NLP) to understand the context and nuances in candidate applications.

I was skeptical at first, but then I witnessed its magic firsthand. We had a candidate whose resume didn't tick all the traditional boxes for a cybersecurity role. But the AI flagged them as a strong potential fit. Curious, I dug deeper. It turns out the system had identified relevant projects and skills buried in the candidate's experience that a human recruiter might have missed. We ended up hiring them, and they've been an absolute star performer!

3. Chatbots and Virtual Assistants: 24/7 Candidate Engagement

One of my favorite AI tools is our recruitment chatbot, affectionately named "Robo-Recruiter" by the team. This little wonder has transformed our candidate engagement process.

Just the other day, I was talking to Mark, a software engineer we recently hired. "You know what really impressed me?" he said. "I had a question about the job at 2 AM, and your chatbot was there to help. It made me feel valued right from the start."

It's moments like these that remind me of the human touch AI can bring to the recruitment process. Ironic, isn't it?

4. Video Interview Analysis: Beyond the Surface

Video interviews have become the norm, especially for initial screenings. But our AI takes it a step further. It analyzes candidates' facial expressions, tone of voice, and even the words they choose to use.

I was initially concerned about the ethical implications of this. Aren't we invading privacy? But then I spoke with Dr. Chen, an AI ethics expert. "The key is transparency," she advised. "As long as candidates are aware and consent to the analysis, it can provide valuable insights that complement human judgment."

We've since implemented clear disclosure policies, and the results have been fascinating. The AI has helped us identify candidates with strong communication skills and cultural fit that might not have been apparent on paper.

Challenges and Ethical Considerations

Now, it hasn't all been smooth sailing. We've faced our fair share of challenges and ethical dilemmas along the way.

One of the biggest hurdles was addressing bias in AI algorithms. I remember the day we realized our AI was subtly favoring candidates from certain universities. It was a wake-up call. We worked closely with our data science team to retrain the model and implement rigorous fairness checks.

There's also the question of data privacy. With AI processing so much personal information, how do we ensure we're respecting candidates' privacy? It's a constant balancing act, but one that's crucial to get right.

The Human Touch in an AI World

As amazing as our AI tools are, I'm a firm believer that they should augment, not replace, human recruiters. There's still no substitute for human intuition and emotional intelligence in the hiring process.

I love telling the story of how we hired our current CTO. On paper, she wasn't the most qualified candidate. But during the interview, she displayed a level of passion and innovative thinking that our human recruiters picked up on immediately. The AI had ranked her lower in the initial screening, but the human element made all the difference.

It's a powerful reminder that the future of recruitment isn't about AI versus humans – it's about AI and humans working together to find the best talent.

Looking to the Future

As I wrap up my workday and shut down my laptop, I can't help but feel excited about what the future holds for AI in recruitment. We're already experimenting with VR for remote assessments and AI-driven onboarding processes.

But more than the technology itself, I'm thrilled about the possibilities it opens up. By automating the time-consuming parts of recruitment, we're freeing up HR professionals to focus on what really matters – building relationships, fostering company culture, and ensuring we're not just hiring skills, but building teams.

So, as we navigate this brave new world of AI-powered recruitment, let's embrace the technology, but never lose sight of the human element. After all, at its core, recruitment is about people – and that's something no AI can fully replicate.

Here's to finding the perfect blend of artificial intelligence and human intuition in our quest for top IT talent. The future of recruitment is here, and it's more exciting than ever!
