- convolvatron 8y agointerviewing is only a small part of the picture. mvp has so eroded the notion of correctness that whole organizations don't even look for bugs anymore. try upgrading the dependencies. wrap the service in a harness to make sure it gets restarted when it fails. forget about proactively looking for bugs, wait until they come in, and if you have time that week before they slip into the 'stale - never to be addressed' pile, spend a few minutes trying to reproduce and mark 'works for me'
