These questions are quite simple. I wouldn't use them to find good C++ developers. However, it's quite hard to come up with good C++ interview questions. You want to test for fundamental knowledge of C++, for the practice of usi

I recommend Sean Parent's talks: http://sean-parent.stlab.cc/papers-and-presentations/ . Pretty much everything is very good. It's usually C++-centric, but his subjects are deep enough to be useful to softwa

Nice try. It's everyone's wish that somebody makes efficient software for them. But when it comes to themselves, they just lump some random components together that seem to do the job and call it a day.

Erlang syntax indeed seems a little strange. But it's only because today we are accustomed to languages with much more usable/friendly syntax. But when Erlang was born in the 80's the usability wasn't much of a concern

Little languages are good for little programs. Once your program grows up, a little language starts holding it back. Your program needs a language for grown-ups. The truth is all little languages are quite primitive, and this is by desig

I've seen the other side of the coin, where the desire to solve a concrete problem forces a solution to be unnecessarily brittle and actually harder to implement than a more generic solution. I'll give an example: "we're

If your jobs are written in Python, there is nothing wrong with a Python-based scheduler. It can actually be quite convenient.

Doesn't Jenkins use a web interface to create, edit and manage jobs? Is it possible to put jobs in a VCS? Or manage jobs automatically (say with Ansible)?

I got the impression that Hy is stagnating. They removed 'let' in the recent releases (it's hard to imagine Lisp without 'let'). Also there is no support for async, which is pretty important for modern Python IMO.

Poor or incomplete abstractions and code duplication. They usually go hand in hand. What typically happens is that one developer needs to solve a problem. He creates some abstraction (one or more classes) to help him solve the problem.
