Grunt, Gulp and Webpack are for building front-end assets. They are all built using Node.js, but their complexity has to do with managing complex front-end code base and then optimizing it for the browser. If they weren't built with No

I created some real world interview coding questions based on the work we were doing at a former job. My questions were rejected because the other engineers couldn't answer them because they were too "front-end" in that it re

There is _more_ contraception options now available to teens. I know for a fact that IUDs were not being given to teens a decade ago, they were barely just being given to adult women in the U.S. Access to the Morning After pill has greatly

I don't think it is fair to compare Mark Zuckerberg to Tim Cook. Yes they are both heads of huge tech companies, but that's not what it really is about. Mark Zuckerberg is far more famous than Tim Cook. He is Bill Gates famous.

Before people take and run with this comment, this will turn into a shit show if you don't have actual senior programmers with the needed experience. I've seen it happen in startups where their "senior programmer" has on

I use IntelliJ. The biggest reason is because static analysis is a core feature. This core feature is a huge time saver when dealing with a large codebase. * Visual highlighting for mistyping an import statement * Code hints * One-click nav

This is weird, because half of the engineers I know with more than 10 years use an IDE with the most popular being IntelliJ. Bootcamp people seem to mostly use Atom - which isn't really an IDE in my mind. In my opinion, a core feature

Is it the tactic or the price that is shocking people? The tactic is common - heck the same people probably got excited about NASA Climate department correcting people on Facebook. I would be happy to get a million dollars, but it doesn&#x

Titles are useless, until they aren't. Titles for the purpose of power is bad in a collaborative work. Title for the purpose of communicating knowledge are pretty damn useful because they are a shorthand.

It isn't worse than most other CMS code bases that I've used. Drupal is probably the worse, although I haven't looked at it in years. Not sure what you have against hooks per say. They are just a form of event callbacks that

The simplest answer is many other CMSes try to solve the wrong problems. Many to try scratch the itch of a dogmatic programmer instead of a content generator. In the end, most end users aren't programmers.

I've seen people fail questions for this reason. We even tell them not to go down a certain path, or not to worry about optimizing the solution. But they keep on trying to go down the clever path.

My follow up question if I was in that interview would be, "Is this how you operate, do you not provide critical information or am I a researcher?"

The photography I went gave me the copyright to the photos with an exception that they can show them as sample to future clients and that only they are allowed to enter them into contests. It seemed more than fair to me.

Ask the recruiter at the company, "What do the programmers typically wear? I just want to dress appropriately for the interview." Then just dress slightly nicer than that. If they wear t-shirts and jeans, then you wear a casual bu
