When applying for senior positions, a 4-day work week is already quite an ask. I feel like the whole agile/scrum approach is so deeply rooted into modern companies that ironically they are unable to adapt. We had somebody in a differen

This is why working in a company with async communication is quite nice as you can do whatever works for you. I'd do 12h*3 and ~30min on the other days to answer any urgent questions from people working on a different schedule. Sadly I

No matter the result, you have done an amazing job! I'm seriously impressed with the site. Even if nothing comes out of this, you can be proud of your work.

I expected the maintainer to be bit of an asshole. Apparently they were totally respectful. They probably figured `Reported-by` is good enough credit, not putting themselves in the author's shoes (we all do this all the time). The auth

It seems it was quite productive, no? An important bug was fixed. Next time, it probably won't. Which may very well be a fine trade-off if giving credit is a lot of work that nobody wants to do - just expect less contributions with tha

Sure, but if an interviewer phrases it in this way, they should also fully expect to be shut down. I don't see any reason to not just go "talk me through the projects on your Github profile". To me it signaled that they minim

I think if your resume goes through HR or automated filters first, they will filter out any personalized CVs. It would need to land directly on the table of an engineer for it to be appreciated.

I think none of my coworkers in different jobs have had Github profiles with public code. I have a Github profile with multiple public repos, but I don't think it helps with anything. I once had an interviewer say "it seems like y

I barely know Erlang and life has been fine. I do know the runtime characteristics of the Beam VM and occasionally I need to read Erlang docs, but compared to other stacks the experience has been significantly more pleasing. People are of c

Sleep deprivation is not as dangerous as dying from an acute condition. If you're in the hospital for one night, you're being treated by doctors who want to make sure you're not going to die for the night. If you get admitted

This is my most important lesson in the past few years. There is value in _not_ learning, building, doing all the time. I like to work and study, but doing either of it for more than 8hrs is not sustainable for me. I expect to be writing th

If KDE isn't Desktop Linux, I don't know what is. It's not "vanilla", but so isn't Ubuntu, Linux Mint, Fedora Sericea, or whatever else. The underlying stack is the same, there's just customizations on top
