That's what I meant. I personally hate interview questions revolving around "reverse a string" and alike, but really like open ended questions, which result in many options and discussions, AKA "design questions".

But do these "universal" apps still run full screen on 30" monitor? If so, then it's not a good UX. The benefit of a large high resolution monitor is to display lots of information at the same time, this frequently impli

"Threshold" and names like these bring back vivid memories about Longhorn and Blackcomb.

Haven't looked at the APIs, but are the APIs going to scale between phone, tablet and 30" 4K monitors? It's relatively easy to make the same app to be adaptable between phone and tablet, or even laptop, but to make it look go

"But once you start to get bigger, say the 15 person range, it starts becoming unwieldy." I think this is a good indication that a team is getting too large, needs to be split into smaller teams. There is a notion of "two piz

AWS and Azure are getting defensive against Google's price drop: http://techcrunch.com/2014/03/25/googles-cloud-platform-goes... .

I don't think Azure has a live migration. In fact, out of Google Cloud Platform, AWS and Azure only GCP has live migration of the running VMs.
