- tsetse-fly 17y agoSorry, you're right. I don't think that paragraph and the proceeding one was there when I originally read the post. Seems it's been edited since it was submitted.
- telemachos 17y agoBoth you and Anatoly are right: the paragraphs were added later, based on comments here and to the blog itself. See this thread in the comments on the blog (from the author): "The comments here and on Hacker News reminded me I left out a step. I’ve added it." (http://www.aaronsw.com/weblog/hiring#c9 http://www.aaronsw.com/weblog/hiring#c9) I just didn't want you two thinking you were crazy or somehow accidentally skipped two paragraphs.
- anatoly 17y agoThanks, much appreciated.
- anatoly 17y agoI have no recollection of reading this paragraph when I first read the submission. Maybe I skipped it somehow. Anyway, this doesn't make it clear whether this is done face-to-face as part of the interview, or offline. I also doubt it's practical.
