Not too much interesting stuff in this interview apart of this:
I hate languages that introduce accidental complexity
such as JavaScript—what a nightmare of pitfalls for
newbies and even seasoned developers.
- bodiam 10y agoTo make the next one better, what kind of questions would you like to see?
- 3am_hackernews 10y agoNot the OP, but something a bit more open ended and allowing interesting answers (IMHO): - If you had to design a programming language, what would be some of the decisions you would make? - (Since he lists things such woodworking, fiction writing, etc.) How has programming influenced your life? - If you had to write another book, what would it be on? - What do you think about the general state of interviews (programming related positions) in the industry? -- Other non-question comment: - UX/Usability/Readability, layout, font selection of you website is really poor. Please make it easier for the readers (e.g. https://blog.ycombinator.com/chris-slowe-interview https://blog.ycombinator.com/chris-slowe-interview)
- bodiam 10y agoHi, thanks for the feedback, much appreciated. Will take your questions into account for the next interview. Regarding the UX/etc, is is that bad? Any suggestions to improve? I'm not sure if the ycombinator is that much better to be honest, but I might be missing something, and I'm open for improvements!
