Evaluating a company from head to toe can be very hard during the interview process or even the first week of work, because you only see the tip of the iceberg. I've been in many places where there is complacency to update the tech sta

I took notes a lot in college. But oddly enough, I rarely go back to look at them. It is probably due more to my reading and learning style than the lecture, though. I generally had a good mental memory, but the notes were only really impor

I must be somewhere in between. Not really new (worked as a programmer at 5 different companies), but not quite ready to be a hiring manager. Though to be fair I have never managed people in my life. From my experience having worked in most

I spent some of mine on hobby electronics parts the last time it was about $400 per BTC. Not even mad. Just doing my part in the currency's use for goods.

I'm not sure how I'd go about stating it, but I would like to see and make the job interviewing process in software jobs to be as objective as possible. Lots of people say the hiring process is broken in most places, but it's

I'm gonna try this out for myself. I love graphics projects like these and the algorithm is straightforward to implement. Most of the additional work is boilerplate, setting up canvas and resource management of images.

It's not really much about that Uber got hacked, which is bad enough. It's that they paid off the hackers and didn't tell anyone they got hacked until now.

The problem is most libertarians can't actually focus on winnable issues like the ones you describe because the fringe of the party spends its time yelling about how taxes are theft, stripping on stage, and promoting secession. The fri

I remember applying to SpaceX in February, for a Full Stack Enterprise Software Engineer position, and got a rejection letter. I'm not sure what the reason for rejection could be, but it may be that I don't have enough experience

That's pretty great to hear. I'd like to know what your web development team is doing for the purposes of your company. Incidentally I have been been through the hiring process with Bezos' more familiar company before. What i
