As a hiring manager, the cover letter was the most important part of the packet that I was given. The resume was pretty meaningless since I've seen plenty of bad candidates with good-looking resumes and vice versa. But the cover letter

One other thing that I wish more shops would offer is fit tests. The one I did was over an hour of adjustments to a stationary bike that was designed to be adjusted (i.e. the frame measurements could be changed) and them watching me ride it

The lack of patience seems right on to me. I get the feeling that a lot of these discussions where people feel afraid to speak their mind are issues where the orthodoxy feels it has resolved the issue and moved on to talking about something

Why would wireless lead to more competition? Wireless spectrum is monopolized in much the same way that the right to lay fiber/wiring is. FCC auctions sell exclusive use of the spectrum to these companies for billions of dollars. The s

Options have an expected value (EV) that isn't too hard to calculate approximately. They also have a relatively high variance. But it's trivially easy to prove they're not worthless, even if some become so when the company fa

Perhaps true, but there's more to life than money. The basic formula for work enjoyment is autonomy, mastery and purpose (the intrinsic motivators) and those are often much more attainable at a startup. Money and fame are extrinsic mot

Because the professions you listed aren't based on a skill that children develop during play in the same way that engineering is. A lot of engineering is about visualizing how smaller pieces of a larger whole can fit together, even if

Pinkifying to appeal to women...sure, it's probably patronizing and wrong-headed. Pinkifying to appeal to young girls...absolutely need more of this. Almost every engineer I've ever spoken to on the topic had Legos or some other t

No, but just because he created homebrew doesn't mean he's qualified either. Homebrew is one of the least reliable pieces of software I've ever used. It's popularity puzzles me and I've stopped letting it get near a

It also forces Congresspeople to publicly take a stand and not just sit idly by and let Ajit Pai do the dirty work. Getting people on the record is important anytime something is being done at the behest of a limited number of corporations

While you're in Kuala Lumpur, seeing movies in the theater is also quite reasonable. When I was there last year it was anywhere between RM9.50 and RM22 (~RM4 = 1 USD) depending on theater options. Some of the movies were even released

It's pretty simple to do a hot/cold account setup at most banks. I've got a checking account which is unlinked to all other accounts and I try to keep it at a $0 balance. The online banking site makes it easy to transfer mone

How much you made previously is somewhat irrelevant. How much you'd like to make is much more relevant. That conversation can still happen. The only difference is that applicants don't have to be anchored by their previous salary.

That sounds right because it's clear that the 1-year estimate lacks understanding and forethought. If you start a project with that large of a swagged estimate, it mostly won't ever be completed. The only way I'd even conside

I know what property based testing is. And it's not a substitute for unit testing. It's basically just a way of generating many tests from a single test template and is an alternative to example based testing. But it doesn't

I'm not going to comment on how you should have done it without seeing the code. You can throw out terms like reactor base class, MWSR (which I've never heard of but am assuming is just an MPSC using non-standard terminology) and
