Does this create a perverse incentive to not encourage promotions because it will mean a lower headcount going forward?

This course and the accompanying libraries were very good when they were released and have only improved over the past several years. I will echo what others have said - the courses are very approachable and practical. Fast.ai changed the c

I've taken a few courses on Coursera, including the deep learning specialization, and I thought the material was great. However, I noticed that in courses with ~5 hours of video, quizzes, and a project, the average completion times wer

The industry standard onsite interview to offer rate seems astonishingly low at 20%. Is this symptomatic of poor filtering early in the pipeline?

Curious if anyone here has seen success with the first step, "Get Approval From Leadership". I tend to favor "ask for forgiveness, not permission". Nobody is more resistant to change than middle management, so I tend to

I had a hypothesis that the company where I work could benefit greatly from machine learning to replace some human labor. I spent the early part of the year teaching myself enough to be dangerous and the latter part of the year designing, b

There is a link to the therapist, Tim Mackesey, in the post. He was local (in Atlanta, GA). I saw him 14-15 years ago, not sure what his practice looks like these days.

I can't believe it either. I wrote a post on how I eventually sorted myself out: http://eyeofthesquid.com/blog/2014/04/25/walking-the-path/

Stutterer here. Answer to both questions in my case: Yes and yes. I had potential employers just hang up the phone rather than wait for me to complete a sentence. I was completely unable to find a job (any job) when I fished undergrad with

"Our lead developer Robert usually comes in a bit later, so we had about an hour to build a working prototype" - why did you only have an hour? What would have happened if the working prototype was not done when he came in?

Yes. This sounds like a tactic to try to guilt you into taking a deal that is not in your best interest.

The prospect of bootcamps graduating tens of thousands a year instead of hundreds is quickly becoming a very real thing. Will be very interested to see how this affects the job market over the next few years.

Concatenating the contents into a JSON array is an excellent idea! I'll get to work on that.

Got the idea while working through the React tutorial some time ago. Thought a zero config server that responds to all of the HTTP verbs would make a nice tool for front end prototyping.

Couldn't agree more - if all you need is a static file server, SimpleHTTPServer does the job. I made Knod specifically because I could not find a built in HTTP server that allows writing and deleting.
