I hate doing the same, boring, mundane tasks again and again. Keep iterating the development and copy pasting the solution every now and then. Repeating those code blocks. Debugging uncommented codes and killing my creativity over some non-productive tasks that brings no learnings at the end of the day.

Web developer roadmaps.
All you learn is HTML, CSS and Javascript and everything falls under them.
React is an addon with React hooks.

I am a development who still keep learning things and build projects . Small one and big one .I live in Egypt which is a third world . I will tell you something if you called yourself you know so much about tech . Actually you know nothing . There are many talented people in third world and they need a chance . I know it is difficult to choose someone instead of another it happeneds to me . and I know I am better than him . And he still learning . But I say may God wants that .and I will help him to become better than me . may I do something good after my death

Boohoo..... Cheap labor doesn't mean low quality. It just means dollar is stronger than Indian rupee. There's a reason why the top tech companies in the world are lead by Indians. Most of us have a bachelor's degree so NO we are not hired right off the street. Get your facts straight before spreading judgmental comments.

I've worked with people from several different countries, and if they're good enough to do the job, they're good enough to do the job.

I think you shouldn't dismiss people because they live in a country you don't like.

Non-algorithm tests.
Like, am I supposed to memorize the documentation or something for them to be giving multiple-choice questions culled directly from the docs.

Woke shit infesting communities, excessive OOP where a singleton might've sufficed just fine, degenerative development patterns (Typescript lack of inter-compatibility between versions of its various building appendages, IDEs not being able to load and compile older ide code (VS2003-2012), et cetera)

"Offshore" is a strange idea to me. If you decided to emigrate to another country, would you suddenly become "offshore"? Or are you talking more about not liking companies from other parts of the world?
