   For the first question, Aline Lerner, leeny on HN and founder of interviewing.io, wrote an excellent blog post on this very topic: http://blog.alinelerner.com/how-to-interview-your-interviewe... Regarding bad fits, I could

   As a full-stack developer, I really dislike these kinds of questions for the reasons outlined by others, just like I hate having to sort lists. In real-life, I do some version of sort(foo) or foo.sort() and call it a day. I don't need

   One thing: 360M people, but you probably wouldn't give newborns $10,000. Call it 230M adults over 18 years of age (per US Census data) and the numbers aren't quite as dire, though as you pointed out, still untenable. I would also

   Looks fun. Congrats on learning React. I haven't wrapped my head around it yet. (But then again, I avoid front-end like the plague...) I found an "undefined" thing: http://d.pr/i/Dd2eA Also, the steps ar

   I have a bunch of side projects. I spend about 5-10 hours per week on them, but usually just one project at a time. For example, one week I might spend 5 hours working on a Hamilton costume. The next week I might spend 8 hours working on my

    I used to work for Z, and I can confirm that the Zestimate is just that: an estimate. It doesn't know things like whether you did renovations or whether the house next door caught on fire and burned down and things like that. If someth

    Well, I mean that you can technically play the game. You can register, log in, walk around, pick up items, drop items, wear items, wield items, practice, train, fight, die, cast spells, use skills, do socials, check your stats, check your s

    Yes! I've tried over the years to create a TW2002 clone, but I always stall out at the economic system. I've also tried to recreate Barren Realms Elite / Solar Realms Elite, but Amit lost the source code to that, too. Reverse

    Sounds awesome! I do have some built in methods to instantiate mobs, objects, and rooms, then save them to disk, but they're pretty basic and don't allow more advanced things like scripting events or locking doors and things like

    That's a good idea! I'm not even remotely sure how to do that. I tackled this project as a way to really dig in and learn Go, and I'm still working my way through it. I'm slowly learning more idiomatic ways of writing Go

    It's a Merc/Diku inspired version. The codebase is written in Go, and the data is stored in JSON files. I'll open source it, eventually. It's feature-complete, I just need to get some bare-bones data in there (like start

    I consider myself rather productive compared to most devs I've worked with. On a good day, I spend 75% of my day "working". On a normal day, it's closer to 50/50. I'm a tech manager, though, so the "good&q

    I'm building a MUD[1] in Go. It's basically a port of the merc/diku mud, but I went in different directions on a couple of things. It's basically feature complete at this point, so my next step is to build a bunch of a

    I think you get a free "this job didn't work out" card every couple of years. If you really hate it, then find a new job. As a hiring manager, I would accept your story as a valid reason for leaving. If your resume has severa
