what do you folks discuss in your weekly/monthly 1:1 with your engineering managers?

I'm new to this weekly syncup thing with my manager and he already knows the things I work on through daily standups, the issues I've faced or things that have gone great through retros after every sprint.

This gives me little to talk about with my manager except personal goals sometimes, a bit about our lives in general, etc. I was wondering what you guys discuss and how do you make best use of this meeting?

How do you pass props through the router-link without polluting the url?

I haven't found a good way to do this. Basically the props that you can pass as params, end up getting displayed in the url as resource or queries.

The above code makes the url look like "url/id/1"

What if i want to pass multiple props like "id" and " name" through router-link but don't want the url to have the "name" field?

Hopefully, someone can answer this. Thank you.

What does it really mean to test an interface not the implementation?

let's say there is a Shape interface.

interface IShape { double Area(); }

A Rectangle class and a Triangle class implement it. Now should i write tests for:

  1. IShape interface and test both implementations in a single test file?
  2. Write tests for Rectangle and Triangle class separately, testing their implementation of Area() ?
  3. Do something else?

From what I see I am testing implementations either ways. How do you even test an interface without testing the implementation? Can someone please help clarify my doubts? Thanks!

how do you spend your learning budget your company provides you with?

So my company has a budget of around 200$ which would expire by the year end if I don't spend it on courses, books, trainings, etc.

I'm interested in knowing what you'd do or suggest. I'm in a full stack role and have tried the below.

  1. Pluralsight has good material for many topics but they're outdated many times, especially for cloud topics.
  2. Udemy has mostly up to date content and many really good creators but lacks coverage of advanced topics like pluralsight.
  3. Coursera has good University courses but make little sense in real life development.

What are some of the ways you'd have spent this budget? What are some other sites worth looking into?

pay parity and how often do you folks prepare for interviews and switch jobs?

In my short career I've noticed that employers are notorious for underpaying you to the point that people with 3-4 years of experience are getting paid the same as freshers. The management always has an excuse to not increase pay or increase it very minimally. The best way to increase pay has been to keep moving every 2-3 years from one company to the next if switching means at least 1.5x or 2x the current salary.

This means major interview prep requiring solving leetcode style questions, solving system design questions, then some more. I just wanted to how often do you prepare? Are you always interview ready or start prepping a few months before switching jobs?
