This sounds like a question they'd ask during a tech interview and when you ask which language or what they mean by "length," the "senior" developer says, "Heh, guess you're not one of us who work for a li

Everyone remembers the smartass tests in school with the directions that say to sign your name and then hand in the test... Or some other form of smartassery where you must pick the MOST correct answer which has some stupid theoretical tech

I can't believe the amount of comments here that boil down to... "Yeah tech interviews are bad... If you don't know how to do em! Everyone's an idiot except me, because I always do them right!" and "Well if you

Sometimes people say mean things to me. I guess the solution is to revoke everybody's ability to speak, because that could be used to hurt my feelings. People keep complaining about harassment at work. I guess the solution is to revoke

Can't wait for developers to implement "Mark your account as deleted, so you can't log in and actually delete your data such as photos later."

There's so many gotcha-holes that it's nearly impossible to get them all and still have a usable browser. Security updates are also going to keep you updating, and those introduce new unique identity problems. Is there any way to

This is correct. To expand: things like installed extensions, window size (as well as monitor size), bandwidth and general user speed, adblockers themselves and their individual block lists, and browser are all adding to your trackability p

I remember Xbox Live in like mid 2000's letting you sign up on the website but there was no cancel option. You had to call in. You were usually on wait for an hour, and then an hour of being harassed by the sales people. In theory, I d

Heh, what's this? You can't answer this question off the top of your head after I spent 2 hours purposefully researching obscure edge cases to craft it? I guess you're not a real engineer. Did you even pass the 101 courses? N

If your team fails because you have incompetent leadership, then YOU are the one who suffers. Upper management doesn't go around looking at what individual people are doing. They just see Team X as a whole keeps having problems, so Tea

Businesses frequently don't understand the need to fix tech debt / testing / maintenance / security. They just think it's just code for the engineers wanting to "sit around and do nothing" (this is the act

I'm an expert in git, but at a glance I don't see what you're trying to do here. It's like dumping an alphabetical list of methods on someone. An expert already knows them, and it's a weird way to present it to some

I've brought up easy solutions like this. The response is almost always "Well don't do that. You can't use that." I legitimately think it's because they don't understand that actual solution and are embarr

"Good candidates." I guess everyone who gets stuck in interview hell is an idiot based on your comment? Why would someone who's not trash get stuck? They wouldn't, I guess! Must be trash engineers just out there wasting

I'm absolutely terrible at tech interviews, despite being a software engineer and actual architect for around 5-10 years. I constantly fix major security issues in legacy code, optimize it, and work with the senior devs in multiple lan

This actually would make a lot of sense. My previous guess was the original version had spaghetti code (ex: lots of hard coding edge cases), and they tried to move it to a more standardized / maintainable code block that hasn't be
