1-2 sprints, which for most teams is 4-6 weeks. It really depends on use cases... generally startups don't have any need to support old browsers and can enforce current Chrome+Firefox only.

As a frontend dev, this really pains me. I’ve worked at many places with the same problems - first of all, pushing back on the designer is incredibly important if something is hard to develop. Most designers are doing their best to make t

I tried this out and I really just need a way to manually set the latency. My recording computer only has an audio interface with no monitors (just headphones) and I pretty much can't use this software because you don't seem to s

It really depends what type of candidate you are looking for and what sort of job it is. One of the often overlooked roles of a hiring manager is understanding the signals coming in from the interviewers, weighing the results properly agai

In this case, it played out as a wrote it - I offered some solutions to the problem and thought about different ways to solve it, then implemented the one I thought was best on the whiteboard. About halfway through he asked me why I wasn&#

I’m a college dropout and have about 8 years of experience as a developer. I’ve been interviewing a lot lately at mostly startups (7 onsites in the last month). Every single place except for one asked me about college or why I dropped out

Happiness isn’t just a factor of compensation, it’s also if people enjoy what they are working on, how they work, and the people around them.

I agree with this concern - one of the most common complaints I hear from my friends and coworkers is that they keep getting extra responsibility handed to them, but never actually see the promotion. There is an incredibly delicate balance

If somebody wants to work for me and really, honestly, cares if our tech stack is new and fancy (as opposed to practical/easy to maintain/easy to hire for), that is a HUGE red flag that they are going to leave after a few years or

IANAL, but this is exactly how B2B sales works... you offer an absurdly high MSRP then offer discounts with various incentives based on completely arbitrary things, with the average purchase landing nowhere near MSRP. I'd be careful ab

I'm a former competitive MtG player. My playgroup found that with a bit of practice and a specific technique, we could roll 17+ on any spindown dice almost every time (try rolling the die with it starting in your hand with the 20 faci

I think the correlation they were getting at is - both are mental health conditions and both have a high rate of recovery during patients' early 20s. While I agree with you that the correlation here doesn't have any direct relatio

I feel like this is just a very short-sighted view of the JavaScript ecosystem. A huge amount of JavaScript applications aren't used internationally, aren't used on mobile, or simply aren't websites. I've worked on mu

I really don't understand this... while yes, I might at some point be interested in reducing my bundle size, for 99% of developers out there, a difference in 300kb is just completely irrelevant. I choose my JS libraries because they ar

All of these seem like the exact ideas every executive thinks sound great then get shut down by literally everyone else... would higher user engagement even increase conversion rates? Probably the opposite. Mobile support? Nope, just alie

My company did something very similar when we had a customer make a large order shipped overseas, which turned out to be with a stolen credit card. They didn't realize that since our hardware requires a service plan to even operate, w

I do agree, and this is how I evaluate a lot of tools, but wouldn't it be easier just to have a web page? I'm not saying that I can't use this, I'm saying that it would be far more convenient for me (and likely many oth

Its more of a large inconvenience - I don't develop on my computer, I write all code on servers in my company's cloud. My choice would be to either clone this onto company hardware in the cloud or install node and the associated

I believe he is referring to the case of the interviewer being a peer rather than a manager. In my experience the manager cares about fit and attracting you to the team, whereas the peers are all looking for reasons NOT to hire you.

This is a very reasonable task, but most of the take-home projects I've gotten (for both frontend and backend) have been significantly larger. The worst one was for Optimizely, who asked me to write an entire website (front-end using R

This is extremely interesting and I'm eager to see the follow-up. I'm currently planning something very similar at my company and any reference to how other smaller-scale companies handle this when scaling is invaluable. Are ther
