This is one of my least favorite interview antipatterns: multiple small tasks that only show understanding of one of hundreds (if not thousands) of concepts front end devs should understand. Most things here are easily googleable - why jud

Oh, I fell for those sour grapes hard (and might I say, you're absolutely right). It's trivially easy to find "think"pieces supporting any opinion under the sun, making my insistence on declaring grapes sour even easi

It's said that growing up is watching your heroes become human. I'll admit pg was (and still is) one of my heroes and the prime reason I moved across the country to join a startup. While I never got into YC, my (short) life is m

The annual revenue for taxis in SF was ~$100MM. Uber's annual SF revenue is estimated to be $500MM. So Uber has "captured" 500% of the market. Does that explain their valuation? They're not trying to capture an old ma

It does if the candidate is something that the interviewer might be biased against (race, gender, opinions on Star Wars). Avoiding bias in interviews helps everyone except those who rely on irrelevant qualities to get jobs.

I've had folks who just jump into the code without any planning. It usually bites them about 20-30 minutes in. On the other hand, I remember one guy who spent the first 20 minutes planning and only 40 coding and ended up doing better

Ouch, that's just a crummy interview experience. If you're coming in with the understanding that .NET is your best language, seems odd they wouldn't allow that, or at least make amends, such as letting you know in advance th

I've got the outline for another article along these lines (how I prepare for an interview) though it's been longer since I've been through an interview. As a candidate, you'd bring less pre-packaged tasks and more que

Not OP, but here goes: None of the examples in the song are actually ironic (i.e. taking an action with the intention of causing A which actually prevents A [or vise versa]). "Rain on your wedding day" isn't ironic, as &quot

The key here is to ensure each commit has a single purpose. Fix a bug, add a feature, refactor, etc. Rebase is fantastic for taking multiple commits that together have a single purpose and squash 'em into a single, purposeful, commit
