In India, confessions in lock-up or to the police are not admissible in court in a criminal proceeding. I've always found that as the way to prevent innocent people from being convicted based on their confession.

It's interesting to me how no one knows or is talking about the kid who lost to the champ. He is perhaps equally good but lost in this game.

Patrick, I love Stripe's offering, but I have to pull teeth within my startup to justify why we use Stripe to non-technical people. In fact, when I put on my Product person's hat, I can see everything they tell me clearly. Strip

How is cost of a drink related to the value the maker provides? I will admit you have a point with the NY>Kentucky example. In that situation, the company may pay them the same, but if the company hires two equally talented devs, one in

What you're proposing is out of touch with reality. Compensation is based on value added, but also based on geography. Bartenders in South Dakota don't make the same as bartenders in San Francisco for a reason, though they add the

I do that as well and that still doesn't tell you much. It's a good first screen filter but isn't always sufficient. For senior candidates though, I agree that a homework assignment is not the best qualification process.

Judge if they can code in our core stack? Well, if they're working with it in their current job, or in side projects. Assessing if they are good, we can do it in the on-site. Like I said, our on-site is based on knowing our stack, so w

We're in a similar boat. Attracting good engineers as a seed stage company is challenging. What has worked for you?

For the past few years, I've mostly been on the employer side of this, recruiting engineers in my teams with a brief period where I had to find a job. It plain sucks. As the hiring manager, I wish I didn't have to deal with recrui

Don’t mean to be mean (i’ve been there) but this is the money line “Re-written the code base 4 times (Laravel, Vanilla JS, React, then back to Vanilla JS).” Is the goal to ship or play? If latter, no harm done, else that’s your resistance,

Totally get what you're saying. Where are you based out of? Would love to get coffee nonetheless if you're in the bay area. In the least, it appears we have some interesting stories to swap.

Here's a simple rule for you to know. As you rise in your career and the ladder, you get paid (more) for results, not actions or efforts. Managers and leaders get paid more for that singular reason. Shepherding a team to achieve a desi
