Honestly it doesn't work well now as a developer. It is about a week worth of work away from being a great developer experience. They'll come around. Honestly every time I have split out a separate service it is because the curr

At my current place of work we have 1 monolith and 2 "Micro-Serivces" Working in the monolith is fine, but running tests is slow because it is a giant rails app that is 7+ years old. There is 1 "microservice" that does i

Context matters. If you're building essentially square box with interactions (essentially flash) , it would probably be fine. But if you're trying to optimize across several displays HTML can re-flow for you and isn't genera

There's also an art to realizing you've failed (or are going to fail), and making the best outcome possible from it. Many things don't work out the way you expect them to first time. Things may initially be "failures,&q

As far as this type of tool goes Grafana is pretty solid. It might be easy to conflate it with the datasource it is pulling from.

The default behavior for javascript interacting with the DOM is incredibly slow once the page gets complicated enough. I've certainly seen it first-hand. This may not be a problem you have, and indeed maybe not everybody needs react.

I wrote a custom ARM assembler that generate prolog that uses genetic programming techniques to optimize the interface. I've found the best interface to be my set of 8 multi-colored LEDs driven by a custom build arduino system that ta

This is the biggest thing for me. I can cary my library with me all the time and when I have to wait longer than planned I can read something meaningful instead of just playing a stupid phone game or reading internet banality. I mean ther

Even if they could, reporting on medical information has very large consequences if the information is wrong. I don't imagine it would be worth it to them to enter that arena.

I like the concepts behind istio. I want to be able to use istio, but I had it running in a test/dev environment, and it would just randomly start saying 503 for my virtual services. Removing and adding the virtual service would fix

English at least applies gendered pronouns primarily to living things that have a sex. There are odd exceptions that don't matter much. Sailors will refer to their boats as female. You look at something like german and dogs (Hund) ar

There needs to be a mechanism to tweak the signal-to-noise ratio. Either 1) stop interact with them and send 0 signal, or 2) have a browser plugin that just provides random interaction on a webpage and increase the the noise. The expensiv

hah we did that in our old office. IN this space, the fixtures make it more difficult to do that.

We've got nice big windows and lots of natural light (most of the time) but we had to lobby our facilities manager to put in a switch so we could turn off the overhead fluorescent lighting.

By the time we get to the whiteboard problem we've already assessed technical skills as well as we can. The whiteboard problem is to test their fit on the team. It has worked well for us and certainly weeded out some people who could

by Tobani 8y ago
Yeah, that's the trick. It isn't a technical exercise really. Its really a communication/team fit test.

by Tobani 8y ago
Agreed. For us this is a communications/team fit exercise and not a technical exercise. It has done a good job of filtering out bad fits, like the guy who refused to talk to the women on our team regarding anything technical.

Not judging their answers. The only thing we're judging is their ability to communicate in a group setting similar to what happens on the team on a regular basis. We at least on a weekly basis somebody has some small problem they need

We do whiteboard problems, BUT we also emphasize beforehand that the interviewers in the room are there to work through the problem with them. This is meant as more of a conversation, we're less concerned about getting to the "ri

Oh the irony. The company that literally brought heroin to market, gets a bad name from buying a company known for heavy-handed corporate litigation practices. To be clear I'm not trying to blame Bayer for the opioid epidemic. I just

The purpose of the suggested VPN was to send your traffic to FB from outside the EU. That would then make it so FB didn't prompt you with new EU TOS, so you could click through (since you wouldn't be governed by GDPR). But the c
