I never liked the idea of changing the content of a quote for any reason. Let's say I go on the record saying something like this: > Code reviews are worthless when it comes to those nasty little runtime corner cases that crop up

Agreed - as it is currently, if you: - disagree with Candidate A on issue 1, but agree on issues 2-10, and - agree with Candidate B on issue 1, but disagree on issues 2-10, you'll be matched with Candidate B purely because Candidate A

Hiring manager here, and after many interviews with enterprise programmers, I do find myself putting more and more of them into the "no" pile right off the bat. The problem is that those candidates, in my experience, tend to throw

First time I've ever heard a 9-5 job called a "9-17" job. Decided to Google it to see how common it was, and all the results are for the Bible verse Job 9:17 - > He would crush me with a storm and multiply my wounds for no

Sort of, yeah. They're taking a very strict approach to semver - if it could potentially break anyone's code out there, it's a breaking change that warrants a major version bump. I'd wager that the vast majority of Node

I just switched to coderpad.io, and so far I really like it - it takes the place of a phone interview. I'm looking for JS engineers, so I've set up a series of stub functions representing problems - with corresponding tests for ea

Huge Sublime fan here, recently switched to Atom. With the new React-driven editor buffers, it feels much more native. Give it another spin! Properly configured, it's pretty much at parity with Sublime. Insane momentum behind it with n
