You can see from these comments why everyone hates tech interviews. Many devs don't want to tell their life stories (introverts eh, go figure). And the devs you want don't want to fluff for 1.5 hours to satisfy your arbitrary tim

I say yes it is something, although trespass might be the wrong label for it. Reason: you purchase or build a wall to enjoy it's features. Those might be protecting your property, keeping out cold, or having a certain appearance. If

Is it possible that the solution to working hard is acquiring resources so you can stop working hard and this is done by working hard? Hence, creating a loop. IMO Burnout is a loop spiralling out of control. Solution is a break out of the

None of that matters, her job was to extract shareholder value from Yahoo, not save puppies or innovate or grow the business. She organised splitting off parts for sale for big money paychecks. I'm far from her biggest fan, but she di
