I just wrote a post about a quite similar experience. I feel like if a candidate takes a few hours to complete a test the feedback could be a slightly more involved process but from the hiring side it doesn't really scale. https:&#x2F

I'm just wrapping up an Agile project, truly agile, and it was actually quite fun. At the start they tried to get us to use Scrum and 2 week sprints and I pushed back. We had basically no fixed meetings except a weekly sync and a coupl

I think the other thread here is even outside your average minimum wage job the link between work and reward is broken. Holders of capital can speculate on property/real estate and make more (illiquid) money than a worker in a full yea

Social change takes a lot of time and a lot of funerals. By continuing to make people aware of abuses these stories provide a critical function to inform people about the problem. Given in this thread we have the usual sneering about moveme

I don't want to post anything too identifiable on my throwaway but I'll post a modified excerpt: "[you will] indemnify the company from [...] all claims, damages, liability, settlement, attorneys’ fees and expenses [from] any

Thanks, this is a useful distinction. As I clarified elsewhere it would maybe be more accurate as: "If we are subject to a lawsuit due to something you did while working for us then you have to pay an unlimited amount of costs we incur

It's sort of the only way to do remote working internationally as far as I know, other than having a company open a legal entity/business in every location they employ developers. The risk is for companies without a dedicated lega

That's a fair point, I was simplifying/exaggerating for effect. What I wanted to flag was that if you transition from a FTE in your country's legal framework to a contractor in order to work remotely one might not be familiar

This is what inspired me to write this: https://d22qefpbdavdoz.cloudfront.net/#let-me-work We're working the wrong way across the industry, developers are being cut-off from the processes they are instrumental in. None

Too late to edit but I meant Piet not Pike for a non-text based programming language.

I'll try and respond to your points but hopefully without omnislashing. On 1) I think that's why this post in particular triggered the question. I don't even conceptually understand what vim and emacs are . Like there are te

Haha you're pretty much describing me. I think autocomplete overlaps with spellcheck in a text editor. You won't improve your spelling by relying heavily on a spell checker but it won't really affect your vocabulary either an

To be fair my memory has always been terrible. I loathed times tables at school. I still don't really know them. I just feel like if I need to know I'll use a calculator and if there isn't one available I'll have other p

Thanks for your answer, out of interest what languages are you primarily working with and what sort of team and codebase size? It sounds like being forced to consider navigability would offset the tendency for codebase 'melt' in l

So I have a question and I'd like to understand if possible. To me programming isn't text editing. Granted, we use text to write most code outside of say Pike but effectively most programming is working with symbols right? Like .s

Agree and don't really see why this is an unpopular view. I am about to hit 30 and I've never had an opportunity to vote for a winning government. I have been powerless to do anything other than basically pointless personal respon

I have tried to keep an open mind on this topic, or rather developing one, but alas I remain a zealot. I recently wanted to make a simple enough PR to a large JavaScript codebase to fix a bug. After a few hours I found where the call was ha

I've not had any kind of big success or built a business but I think I can relate to this being perhaps "successful enough" relative to people I know / my own expectations. I think you can pour so much of your energy and
