Tips for web development applicants

17 Oktober 2021 Software Development

At Klima, we are currently hiring a junior frontend web developer, and I was tasked with finding the right person to join the team. Usually, a web dev position at a startup in Berlin attracts many people, so I have the privilege of picking from a large amount of applicants. While reading these applications, I noticed some recurring pitfalls that people fell into, so I want to highlight some of them here in the hopes of “future generations” learning from it.

Klima.com is live! Here are some learnings.

We already launched in December last year but I didn’t blog about it, so here’s a belated celebration: Klima.com is live! It’s a website that Jonas, co-founder and CPO of Klima, designed and I had the pleasure of implementing. It accompanies the launch of the Klima apps on iOS and Android and provides more information about our product, the company behind it, and general climate news.

My favorite websites of 2020

29 Dezember 2020 Design Everyday Recommendations Web

I’ve finally found the motivation to compile a list of my favorite websites! These following pages are very cool™ because they either look super nice, offer great content or do both. And they don’t feature the current trends that make the web worse: Offensive advertising, affiliate-based opinion making, obsessive user tracking. Let’s get started.

Awesome Multiplayer Games, the site

1 Mai 2020 Design Games Software Development

Do you like playing games with other people? If so, you might often wonder what to play while looking at huge lists of games in your library or some game shop.

I wanted to make this easier and learn some new technology on the side (in this case backend development with NestJS), so I built a little webapp for finding awesome multiplayer games: multiplayer.page!

It’s also easy to add your own entries if you have a GitHub account – you’ll find all information here: https://github.com/herrherrmann/awesome-multiplayer-games – In fact, quite some people stumbled over this repo already and added new games which is fantastic!

In this sense: Game on and long live open source. ?
