I don't think you should limit this to the "new generation." I am at around 5 years experience in the dev workforce and believe I can answer those questions to a satisfactory degree. From interviewing and professional experie

I am moderately happy. There is no one big thing right now that would dramatically change my happiness as a working programmer/dev. There are little things that could be changed by me or the people I work for that would increase my hap

Most of the people I know who watch Netflix at night want it to keep playing after they fall asleep.

I like Armadillo. As a child between the ages of 5-8 my family would drive through the woods and if we saw an armadillo we would try to catch it. If you managed to catch it you got a dollar. Brightplay, on the other hand, means nothing to m

I believe in good repetition. But what is good repetition? Nano on a dot file 5 times? For the command line it should involve commands that will save people time. Teach them: 1. how to use find and grep, and other commonly used commands. 2.

What do you mean by backing it up? You can export and import csv files and other password managers but all your password data is saved to lastpass as an encrypted blob. Are you looking to automate your plain text csv export?

I agree with all that. I'd also add that I think the desire to get hired and be mentored is a common mistake. Coworkers don't have time to sit down and teach you 1on1. But what they do have time for is helping a coworker out if th

If you're not completely willing to care about his happiness at the company, please, don't try and retain him half-heartedly. If he's really great then he will find something else.

IMO, if you're "sharing" a password it should be visible to the sharee. Then, if you revoke it just change it - last pass knows how to make passwords

I use lastpass. Never tried any other password manager. I don't mind logging into it. On my phone I can swipe my thumb. The only thing I don't like is having to type out the long random passwords on non-physical-keyboards - like s

Twice in past 3 weeks. I was at the Alafia river rendezvous, 1640-1840 traders gathering. Kept the Internet tucked away for a few days at a time.

I don't know that you understand the true value in patterns. Take for instance this series of numbers. 1,1,2,3,5,8... I bet you can look at it and say hey I recognize that pattern, 13 will come next because its the fibonacci sequence.

I always thought that wearing a suit or at least a coat and tie with oxford + slacks and dress shoes and belt was a standard. It says I am serious about interviewing even if the interviewers will be wearing a hawaiian t-shirt and flipflops.
