Having previously spent 8 years as a technical recruiter, and now working as a Sr. Software Engineer, I can say generally speaking that dev resume should be general enough that anyone in the recruitment pipeline should be able to look at it

If you're asking how one would do that at a technical level, I imagine they would use HTTP Referer info [1]. Essentially they decided if someone was being referred to WSJ.com by a search engine, then show the whole article, else show

LOL, I was curious if it would work myself, so I tried it and posted the results. It worked for me, too :)

I feel your procurement pain. For a brief moment, I had a mobile test automation gig. I found a device specific bug, and we only had one unit of that device. The device was inexpensive and easy to procure. But I had to make the case abou

I like my credit union's website. It looks and feels like a website straight out of 2001, and it makes no attempt to be clever or slick in anyway. It's also very usable. My other account at MegaBank is a very modern, slick, and

That's an interesting question. To oversimplify it, the value of a stock of essentially a wild-ass guess about how much cash one might be able to pull out of a company eventually per share times the number of shares. If I a company is

Calling a cab in San Francisco is a miserable experience, especially if you're calling from an area that attracts fewer rides. If you can get ahold of a dispatcher, there's no guarantee a cab will even show up. And after making

Not a spin out expert, but a few reasons I can think of right now: - preparation for a sale - raising capital for the spin out, but not the parent company - the spin out is not part of the parent's core focus, and is something of a dis

If I am hearing you correctly, you are saying that a CS college grad (maybe with STEM grad with programming) is more likely to get the opportunity to interview than someone with only bootcamp coding experience. I agree with that. The form

I agree with this. OS X is a flavor of BSD. I've learned that it's often more helpful to search for "<thing I want to do> bash BSD" than it is to search for "<thing I want to do> bash OS X". Makin

I do not agree. It's nice to have options, but one doesn't not need, and practically speaking cannot take advantage of, infinite options. If maximizing the number of doors opened were the best choice, then a logical extension to

Without knowing how well it works, I like this approach. It's thoughtful and engaging. Not perfect, and maybe that's a good thing.

All I can say is that the first two things I tried on the Windows Linux Subsystem didn't work, mainly running Elixir and Debootstrap. It's okay that they aren't (yet?) supported, but something that looks & smells like Ub

Instead of requiring someone to know a b-tree, how about just teaching it to them in an interview, and then walking through an exercise to see if they get it? That'd be more impressive to me. If someone claims to know what a b-tree,

For this reason, whenever I try to develop anything on Windows, especially systems related stuff, I will do so in a VM. I may develop a test suite and try running it on Windows, but the Windows Linux Subsystem will never be reliable to me,

Funny related story... When I first heard of a KVM switch, I thought KVM was a reference to Linux virtualization. [1] I was a non-techie working at a cloud provider, and virtualization was discussed regularly. I only realized a couple mo

A lot of it is situational. A company in San Francisco hiring a junior Rails dev will probably get a LOT of recent bootcamp grads as applicants. Last I checked, most bootcamps were still focused on teaching Rails. So that's on facto

I get what you're saying, but a rock in the middle of the desert makes more money (or at least loses less) than most startups. The attempt to achieve greatness, even if they fail, that startups shoot for is noteworthy. At least it i

The "secret" is to build something useful, go where the people are, and make it easy to buy at a price they are willing to buy. Easy to say, hard to do for reasons.
