Many aspects of resumes are easy to cheat. List an undergrad at a more prestigious university while your graduate degree is accurate. There’s a high chance outside of government few will verify. Hell, lie about it all. I know for a fact my

I don’t know what I worry about more, sinkholes swallowing my car whole on the way to work or needing to register on Gettr when it replaces Twitter.

Grew up on this stuff. Still fondly remember the warez bots in channels that would forward emails with archives attached for pirated software, often in 1.44MiB increments since it had to fit on floppy disks. It was a gateway for many of us

Not understanding trade offs in an important process like hiring isn’t great and would be a signal for where not to work.

A resume, for me, is used to communicate as clearly and as accessibly to as many people as possible about your work history and qualifications. We use them as a front line mechanism to filter candidates. The problem with these approaches is

Managed container services (like Amazon ECS) are a sweet spot for me across complexity, cost, and performance. Mid size companies gain much of the modern development workflow (reproducibility, infrastructure as cattle, managed cloud, etc.)

I bit the bullet, gave them my social security number and my mother's maiden name, and tried it. Eh. Not too impressed at this stage, and nothing worth switching from my current (Kitty) setup.

To spell it out clearly: Mackenzie Scott will leave running the platform to the people familiar with it. That's exactly why she's the best person to own Twitter and turn it into a public good vs. Elon, who also knows absolutely no

Not really. I picked examples of his most successful aspirations. There's a graveyard of others that have died quietly: - Elon wants to take Tesla private and has the capitalization - Elon wants to rescue Thai children stuck in a cave

Off the top of my head and solely? Mackenzie Scott (Bezos)? There are quite a few folks who could create structures for shared (vs. sole) ownership of Twitter as a public good.

Stating his aspirations and actually following through is something else entirely. If we went by what he aspires, we’d be on our second human mission to Mars with fully autonomous vehicles. Elon has the emotional stability of my 13 year old

One interesting thing is that unlike Paul Graham, who thought it was possible to launch a Twitter competitor in a month, Elon understands it’s not that easy to compete with or build a new Twitter. It’s not a particularly expensive company f

To be clear: not criticizing the current state of hiring. I agree nothing better exists, and it's a narrow mindset to think companies do this when there are better approaches. My point is Dropbox asks questions that are beyond what its

Of course, but this is a gradient. Struggling startup may ask a question that 80% of engineers are capable of answering (through luck, exposure, experience -- whatever dimensions). Dropbox asks difficult questions, and it's hard to dis

You can see where some of the HN commenters get their outrageous takes from. You can "reverse engineer" Twitter in a month if you had .01 [1] the traffic and none of the advertising elements. 1 - https://blog.twitter.co

> This means that software development is a failing discipline. Nah. It means many projects don't have strict performance requirements. Mediocre performance, high impact on battery life, slower startup times are OK for these folks.
