My big issue is that he comes across as an ideologue... I want flexibility from developers, not someone who makes very specific demands of our methodology.

- masklinn 16y agoWait, he comes across as an ideologue for asking for an internal bug tracker and a source control system? Or that code be reviewed? Wow...

- digitallogic 16y agoDo you think you could elaborate? Coming off as inflexible or dictatorial was something I actually worried about. The point I am trying to make is that there are certain minimum requirements I have of any employer, just as almost every job ad I've seen has a list of expected minimum skills. Would you work on software for a company that doesn't use version control? Being on HN is enough to convince me that you're smart enough not to.
- astrec 16y agoOn the other hand I wouldn't hire anyone who wasn't inflexible about having source control, defect tracking, CI, or code reviews. What is important to me, however, is that you demonstrate a little pragmatism about us using Mercurial over Git, Hudson over CC, Jira over Bugzilla, <insert tool we use> vs. <your favourite tool this week>. Although it would reflect better on you if your unit test were valid given an appropriate companies module, I really don't think you should be to worried.
