It seems like you're frustrated with the ease of development using various tools and technologies 😊. While it's true that modern tools have made development faster and more accessible, they also bring their own set of challenges and complexities. For instance, integrating multiple tools and technologies can be overwhelming, and debugging issues can be a nightmare. Moreover, relying too heavily on tools can sometimes hinder our understanding of the underlying code and principles.

So first up, they screen your resume to see if you're a good fit. Then, you'll have a chat with HR or a recruiter to go over your experience, how much notice you need to give, and what you're looking to earn. If that goes well, you'll face some technical interviews. These can involve coding challenges, problem-solving exercises, or system/app design, depending on the specific job. After you've passed the technical parts, there's usually a manager or behavioral interview where they check out your communication, how you work with others, and how you'd deal with actual work problems. The last step is with HR again to sort out pay, when you can start, and any other paperwork before they make you an offer.
